Introducing Obkio Insight:
Automatic Network Diagnostics

The network diagnostics tool, 8 years in the making.

For most IT teams, network troubleshooting is one of the most time-consuming, frustrating parts of the job.

When a network performance issue hits, diagnosing the root cause is a manual process that can be slow, complex, and overwhelming for anyone who isn't a dedicated network specialist. Alerts pile up. Data lives in silos. And by the time you've pieced everything together, the issue has already impacted your users.

Network monitoring tells you something is wrong. Obkio Insight tells you why.

Obkio Insight changes that. It's an automatic network diagnostics engine built directly into Obkio's network monitoring platform. The moment a network issue is detected, Insight goes to work; correlating data across your entire network to automatically diagnose the problem, identify the root cause, and tell you exactly who is responsible for fixing it. All in seconds.

What Is Obkio Insight?

Obkio Insight is an automatic network diagnostics engine that uses multi-source data correlation to identify the root cause of network issues automatically, the moment they're detected.

Built on 25 years of networking and troubleshooting expertise and 8 years of foundational feature development, Insight consolidates NPM, SNMP Device Monitoring, and Visual Traceroute performance data into one intelligent network diagnostic layer that works for you in the background.

When a network alert is triggered, Insight doesn't just notify you, it automatically diagnoses the issue for you, delivering a probable root cause alongside the alert.

Why IT Teams Need Automatic Network Diagnostics

Network troubleshooting is broken. Most IT professionals aren't dedicated network specialists; they're managing a long list of competing priorities, and when a network performance issue hits, troubleshooting is just one more thing on the list.

The problem isn't that IT teams don't care about network diagnosis. It's that the manual troubleshooting process requires correlating data across multiple sources, interpreting complex outputs, and connecting the dots between network performance, device health, routing paths, and application behaviour. That's time-consuming even for experts, and intimidating for everyone else.

Traditional network monitoring tools send alerts. But an alert without a diagnosis is just noise.

Obkio Insight was built to solve exactly that. It automates the network diagnostic process, the same correlation a senior network engineer would perform manually, and completes it in seconds.

Detect Network Issues in Seconds With Network Performance Monitoring Features

Everything starts from Obkio's core Network Performance Monitoring feature. Obkio continuously monitors your network in real-time, measuring key metrics like packet loss, latency, jitter, and bandwidth across all your monitoring sessions.

The moment a session detects a network performance issue, like a spike in packet loss or a sudden jump in latency, an alert is triggered and Insight's automatic network diagnostic engine immediately goes to work.

No manual action needed. Insight is always running in the background, ready to diagnose the moment something goes wrong.

Begin Automatic Network Diagnosis to Automatically Correlate and Analyze Data

In the background, Insight's correlation engine analyzes all available monitoring data from the same time window; the same network troubleshooting process a senior network engineer would follow manually, completed in seconds.

Checks for false positives: Insight first verifies whether the Monitoring Agent had all the resources it needed to run its tests properly. If not, the issue is flagged as user-side immediately, saving your team from chasing a network problem that isn't really there.

Diagnoses network device performance: Insight examines CPU, memory, and bandwidth usage across your network devices to identify congestion or resource constraints that may be preventing equipment from processing traffic in real-time — and pinpoints the specific device responsible.

Correlates traceroute data for network path diagnosis: Insight cross-references traceroute data from the same time period to identify latency, packet loss, or jitter between IP addresses, and surfaces the exact hops affected along the network path.

Get A Network Diagnosis That Identifies the Root Cause of Issues For You

In the past, Obkio would send an alert notifying you of a network issue like packet loss, and from there, the troubleshooting was on you.

With Insight, the investigation is already done by the time the alert reaches you. The notification includes a probable root cause, clearly identified: whether it's a congested device, an ISP routing issue, or a problem at a specific hop along the network path.

Your team gets the answer, not just the alarm — allowing them to act immediately, escalate with confidence, or open a support ticket with proof in hand.

Drill Into the Diagnostic Evidence With Dashboards Highlighting the Cause of Issues

Users are invited to log into the app to see the full alert and diagnostic details. From there, clicking "Show me what led to that conclusion" opens an automatically generated network diagnostic dashboard displaying all the metrics collected during the issue's timeframe.

The dashboard brings together NPM performance data, SNMP device metrics, and traceroute path data, all correlated and visualized side-by-side for the exact period of the detected issue. The root cause data sources are highlighted directly in the dashboard, so you can follow Insight's reasoning step by step and see exactly what triggered the diagnosis.

No digging, no switching between tools, no piecing together data manually. Everything you need to understand, explain, and resolve the network issue is in one place.
