Hello,
First off I am a Cisco guy, not a server guy so don't be afraid to blame me or my server and not solarwinds. I have about 300 devices on this particular network and am monitoring only active interfaces. The server's CPU rarely gets over 25% taskings from any one process. The total CPU useage averages about 20%. NetPerfMon service will NOT utilize over 25% of the CPU. When I am on the server going to its own webpage it takes about 3 minutes to display the top ten. Accessing the site from a remote PC yeilds the same results so this is not a network latency issue. I have tried to change the priority of the solarwinds processes in the taskmanager to high and it will not let me even though I am an admin on the box. This server is only used for solarwinds applications. Does anyone know of a way to speed this up? Is the fact that processor usage is limited due to solarwinds or a setting on the server? I could understand it being slow if the processor was tapped out but it barely affects the CPU load when you click on the top ten section or any other section for that matter. Thanks and please let me know what I left out.
