Introducing Network Destinations: Visual Traceroute to Any Endpoint, No Agent Needed
Tool Sprawl Is the Hidden Cost of Monitoring Endpoints for IT Teams
You've probably been there: a third-party API stops responding, your payment gateway slows down, or an IoT device goes offline. You ping it, it's up. But users are still complaining. Is it your network? Your ISP? Something in the destination's infrastructure?
Meanwhile, you're juggling multiple tools: Obkio for site-to-site monitoring, maybe PingPlotter for those endpoints where you can't deploy agents. Basic ping monitoring only tells you "up" or "down," and now you're troubleshooting blind. It's tool sprawl at its finest, and it's slowing you down when you need answers fast.
That's exactly why we built the Network Destinations feature. It extends Obkio's Visual Traceroute feature to any IP address, no destination agent required. Point it at any endpoint from your existing Obkio agents and get continuous traceroute monitoring every second with hop-by-hop visibility showing exactly where latency, jitter, or packet loss occurs.
What To Expect from the Webinar
📍 Introduction to Network Destinations: Traditional ICMP monitoring only tells you if an endpoint is reachable, but when issues arise, you're left guessing where the problem actually is. We'll show you how Network Destinations transforms basic ping into continuous traceroute monitoring.
🚀 Discover Network Destinations in Action: See how New Network Destinations Feature modernizes ICMP Monitoring:
- Continuous traceroute monitoring every second to any IP address
- Hop-by-hop visibility showing latency, jitter, and packet loss at every point in the path
- Unified dashboard integrating destinations with your NPM sessions and SNMP devices
- Automatic correlation with your gateway and ISP performance data
- 6-36 months of historical data to identify patterns and recurring issues
🛠️ Live Setup & Demo: Watch a complete walkthrough from setup to diagnosis:
- How to set up your first Network Destination and add IPs to monitor
- Understanding the metrics: reading and interpreting results from continuous traceroute data
- How to correlate Network Destinations with Visual Traceroutes to diagnose and pinpoint root causes
Beyond Basic Ping: Why Network Destinations Change Everything
This is ICMP monitoring that delivers hop-by-hop traceroute visibility for any IP.
Unlike standalone tools like PingPlotter that live in isolation, Network Destinations sits alongside your NPM sessions and SNMP devices in one unified timeline. When a destination becomes unreachable, Obkio correlates it with your gateway and ISP performance data, giving you objective proof of where the problem is.
✅ Your destination down? See that your network and gateway are performing normally.
✅ ISP issue? See the packet loss starting at your provider's first hop.
✅ You can monitor multiple IP addresses (third-party SaaS endpoints, application servers, IoT devices, network infrastructure) without deploying additional agents.
