Dynatrace offers flexible network device observability, allowing you to choose the level of monitoring and onboarding process that fits your needs.
The Network devices view in 
Infrastructure & Operations provides insights into networking components and their availability, with analytics powered by Dynatrace Intelligence.
Overview
The Network devices view provides different perspectives for viewing your network devices (Health, Utilization, and Metadata).
The Health perspective includes the following default columns:
- Network device: The name or identifier of the network device. Select the name for a comprehensive, full-page view with detailed metadata and metrics.
- Network area: The logical grouping of network devices. Network areas are configured in the SNMP Autodiscovery extension.
- Problems: Lists any problems detected by Dynatrace Intelligence. Select a problem to access affected entities and investigate specific issues.
- Reachability: Indicates whether the device is reachable and responsive over the network.
- Uptime: The duration the device has been operational since the last restart.
- Interface status: The availability status of network interfaces.
- Saturated interfaces: Interfaces experiencing high utilization or congestion.
