-  * [[reporttool|Reports]] (13) that lists the inventory of routers and switches in the network. Information on software version, equipment type, location etc. Also detailed information of router and switch ports with data on IP address / prefixes, vlans, port speed and duplex etc. Includes a subnet matrix that gives a good overview of your allocated IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes.

Also includes an overall downtime report for last month and a report that list unregistered network gear (based on CDP, soon LLDP, discovery).
  
-  * An [[ipdeviceinfo|IP ​device info tool]] (15) that serves as a dashboard presenting all collected information about a device. For switches and routers this includes a graphical layout of all ports showing link speed, duplex, vlan and status.

   * A [[backendprocesses#​servicemon|service monitor]] (6) that reports on service outages. Support the most important services; ssh, http(s), imap(s), pop, smtp, smb, rpc, dns, smb, dc, rpc, dhcp, ftp, smb, mysql, postresql, oracle, radius. Can easily be expanded to support more services.   * A [[backendprocesses#​servicemon|service monitor]] (6) that reports on service outages.

Alarms from external systems are either sent as snmptrap to the NAV [[snmptrapd|snmp trap daemon]] or as email to NAV's [[devel:​blueprints:​mailin|mailin system]].
  
   * A flexible [[backendprocesses#​alertengine|alert system]] (9), where each NAV user can adjust his own profile (using [[alertprofiles|the tool alert profiles]], 21) with fine-grained control options. Currently support for sending email, SMS and jabber alerts. The profiles can be made to adjust the volume and types/​severities of alarms wanted, this as a function of time and day of the week.    * A flexible [[backendprocesses#​alertengine|alert system]] (9), where each NAV user can adjust his own profile (using [[alertprofiles|the tool alert profiles]], 21) with fine-grained control options.
