1. A network device, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory includes program instructions storable by the memory and executable by the processor to;
monitor a network internally; and
report information collected by the device to an external data center using a stateless connection.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are provided for monitoring systems, networks, and applications. One method includes internally monitoring a network using a diskless and fanless hardware device. The method includes externally monitoring the network using a stateless connection and communicating internal network monitoring information to a third party data center using the stateless connection. The external monitoring information and internal monitoring information on the network is then converged into a unified view.

23. A computer readable medium having instructions executable for causing a device to perform a method, comprising:
-
storing dependencies which reflect how various network entities interrelate and how a network event on one entity effects other entities on a particular local area network (LAN) and a particular wide area network (WAN); and
applying weighted metrics to information received from internal network monitoring and external network monitoring to recognize issues within a network based on the stored dependencies. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method for facilitating network monitoring, comprising:
-
making available a hardware device useable for internal network monitoring, wherein the device is connectable to a network without requiring any software reconfiguration to the network, and wherein the device can exchange information with a data center external to the network in a stateless manner; and
facilitating a purchase of the device via a website. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)
