Is there a way in NPM to get a report on port usage? I'm wanting to know which edge ports are not used over time.
ok, easiest way is to use the Engineer Toolset, which DOES report for ports not managed in NPM. Right click on node in NPM, or go to Real-Time Interface Monitor in Toolset directly.
I used "Time of last data Received"
to clarify - I want to know what ports have not been used in the last year (or 6 months).
Off the top of my head, you would need to:
1) monitor every port on the device whether it was up/down/whatever.
2) create a report for that class of device (by machine type, vendor, IP address scheme, custom property, etc) that shows all interfaces where the data is <=1 for the last xx months.
Make sense?
