Network Monitoring Tools
Also written as Network Monitoring, SolarWinds, Nagios, Zabbix, PRTG, SNMP, LogicMonitor, ManageEngine OpManager, OpManager
Tools that watch network devices and servers: whether they're up, how busy each link is, and alerts when something fails. SolarWinds, PRTG, Zabbix, Nagios and ManageEngine OpManager are common, and most collect their data from devices using SNMP.
Think of it like
A dashboard of warning lights for every device on the network.
Junior or senior?
Tool familiarity is quick to learn.
Senior sounds like
Set up the monitoring themselves, tuned alerts so the team wasn't flooded with noise, and used the trends to plan upgrades before links filled up.
Ask them
“Did you set up the monitoring or only watch it? How did you cut down alerts nobody needed?”

Where this talent works in India — Networking & IT Infrastructure
Target companies that build networking gear or run large networks and data centres themselves: equipment makers, telecom operators, data-centre operators and infrastructure-services firms. Help-desk-heavy outsourcing contracts use the same titles with far less design work, so ask who designed the network, not just who kept it running.
For example: Cisco, Juniper Networks (HPE), HPE Aruba Networking, Arista Networks, Extreme Networks, F5, Infoblox, Nokia.
