This disclosure relates to systems and methods for industrial network monitoring. In one embodiment of the disclosure, a method includes acquiring, by a plant server communicatively coupled to at least one switch of the data network associated with plant components, traffic data flowing through the data network. The method further includes performing, by the plant server, an analysis of the traffic data to generate a network profile. The method may further include monitoring, by the plant server, traffic data flowing through the data network. While monitoring the traffic data, the method may determine, by the plant server, a deviation of the traffic data from the network profile. The method may include issuing, by the plant server based on the deviation, at least one alarm concerning a health state of the data network.
