Solarwinds primary polling SQL server is sending a huge data across all polling servers

Hi,

I would like to know that if this is normal that the primary are sending a huge amount of data across it's polling server. We have a primary server in one site and another 2 additional polling server in another site (different country), we are noticing that not only the 2 polling servers are sending data back to the primary but the primary SQL servers are sending data across to the polling servers. Is this normal? Need someone who can explain on this, thanks a lot

What is the sample time period that gives you these traffic amounts?

If it's a few minutes, that's not really a tremendous amount of data. If the data delivery from your pollers is robust and this is a good-sized sample, then it's not impossible that the SQL server's side of the TCP conversation might add up a bit over time.

Anyway, let us know the time sample, and some other info about your pollers. How many nodes/interfaces/flows are the additional pollers monitoring? What does the IN graph look like between these nodes?
