NetTactFind and diagnose the network problems users actually feel

Monitor outages, latency, packet loss, DNS, Wi-Fi, and device health from where devices actually connect. Keep history and incident evidence so intermittent problems are easier to diagnose.

  • Why is a reachable network still unusable?
  • Why is only one device or location affected?
  • What happened before the problem disappeared?

See what shapes the network experience

NetTact is network monitoring and diagnostics software for homes and small businesses. Agents measure from each device's network and push results to a self-hosted Server, keeping connection quality, service response, endpoint health, and fault evidence in one history.

Network quality

Know when reachable is not usable

Track latency, packet loss, jitter, and gateway health, with available path diagnostics when a fault occurs.

Latency · packet loss · jitter · gateways · path diagnostics

Availability

Check each service layer

Test DNS resolution, TCP connections, TLS handshakes, and HTTP responses to see where a service begins to fail.

DNS · TCP · TLS · HTTP

Endpoint health

See device and Wi-Fi health together

Relate wireless signal, link rates, CPU, memory, disks, and network throughput to problems at the endpoint itself.

Diagnosis

Keep incidents and evidence together

Retain trends, incident evidence, path diagnostics, and recovery. When channels are configured, policies send fault and recovery notifications.

Bring current status and diagnostic evidence together

NetTact keeps the measurements that matter and connects anomalies, path diagnostics, incidents, and recovery. You see more than a red dot: you get a timeline you can inspect after the fact.

  • Compare the network quality devices and locations actually experience
  • Narrow a problem toward the endpoint, Wi-Fi, gateway, uplink, or target service
  • Review measurements and diagnostics after an intermittent problem disappears

From noticing a problem to knowing what to check next

Measurement, history, incidents, and notifications form one troubleshooting path instead of leaving isolated numbers across separate tools.

  1. 01

    Measure from the real network location

    Agents run probes where Windows, Linux, macOS, Docker, and OpenWrt devices actually connect, capturing the network their users experience.

  2. 02

    Keep history around every change

    The server stores metrics and state centrally so brief fluctuations, gradual degradation, and recovery remain visible on a timeline.

  3. 03

    Form incidents with diagnostic evidence

    Built-in detection records confirmed faults as incidents and connects available metrics, endpoint state, and path diagnostics to narrow the investigation.

  4. 04

    Notify and follow the recovery

    When channels are configured, monitoring-group policies send fault and recovery notifications. Incidents remain fully recorded without a channel.

Why measure from the endpoint

The same target can look completely different from another location. NetTact moves observation to devices on the networks people use, then brings the results together.

See local differences

Weak Wi-Fi, a bad gateway, DNS trouble, or one remote site with a poor uplink is not hidden behind the server's single point of view.

Agents connect outbound only

The server never initiates a connection to an Agent, and Agents need no inbound ports. They work behind NAT, firewalls, and dynamic IPs as long as each Agent can reach its Server.

Keep data on your infrastructure

The self-hosted server stores configuration, metrics, and incidents, while collection permissions and probe-target access remain explicitly controlled.
