The Realtime Monitor module includes four views that you can use to monitor the status
and traffic statistics for all the managed Juniper Networks devices in your network in real
time.
To access, monitor, and configure the NSM management system, you use the Server
Manager module. The NSM management system consists of a GUI Server and a Device
Server.

The Realtime Monitor module in NSM enables you to monitor real-time status and
statistics about all the managed devices, VPN tunnels, NSRP clusters, IDP sensors and
IDP clusters in your network at a glance. You can use the Realtime Monitor to identify
problems, track security events, and discover trends across multiple geographic regions
and functional areas from a central management location.
The Realtime Monitor can also help you quickly identify potential device, network, and
system-level problems, such as:
Configuration status—At the device level, you can monitor the changing status of one
or more devices in real time.
Connection status—At the network level, you can monitor problems that could lead
to failed devices.
