CloudHelix, a startup with cloud-based software that lets admins see the status of the networks they rely on, has raised $3.1 million in funding, according to a regulatory document filed yesterday.
First Round Capital managing partner Howard Morgan is listed in the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, along with CloudHelix co-founder and chief executive Avi Freedman and founder Ian Pye.

Just as investors have moved quickly to back tools that track application performance — New Relic and AppDynamics are both on the verge of going public — contemporary applications for watching networks have become compelling, too, particularly as companies rely more on public clouds to run their applications. SevOne, for instance, raised $150 million last year. ExtraHop picked up $41 million this year.
