I'm looking for a way to monitor trace routes from remote locations back to corporate to see if there are any changes in path within our providers Network. Can IPSLA monitor do this, if not does SolarWinds have a tool that can?
Thanks!
kbrookov,
It's in the works. See my post here. Path Echo and Path Jitter will give you hop-by-hop details (in other words, a traceroute) between target and source for those operations. Part of our implementation will show you path deviations. When previewing this feature with some other customers, the path deviation was really important to them.
HTH,
Craig
Will you be able to alert on path deviations? Email alert perhaps? We have multiple ingress/egress points at our headquarters, and attempt to load share via bgp - we want to be able to keep the traffic symetric so need to know if/when a route changes within the ISP so we can update BGP to reflect their change on our side.
Thanks for the information!
Not in this release, but we'd like to implement it in a future release. Based on your comments, it sounds like there is a path you expect most of the time, and want to be alerted on any deviations from this path?

That is correct, our provider has stated that paths will change as they make upgrades within their cloud.
