Monitoring your network performance is important for many reasons and can help in detecting network issues such as bandwidth congestion, latency, packet loss, or hardware failures. By continuously monitoring your network, you can identify areas where improvements can be made, allowing for optimization of resources, better allocation of bandwidth, and overall enhancement of network efficiency.

Virtualization and the creation of many virtual machines (VMs) within the same infrastructure was the solution organizations came up with when faced with expansive, expensive networks that needed more hardware and thus more capital expenditure to host applications. While they resolved the bigger pain points, VMs still have to be monitored as they are heavy on resource usage.
