I received the following from solarwinds in an email,
Some common reasons customers expand their Orion NPM system with additional Polling Engines include:
- Extending Orion NPM’s monitoring of your data center and increasing the number of devices, both physical and virtual, being monitored
- Increased monitoring of applications such as Exchange 2010, VMware VirtualCenter, and Blackberry Enterprise Server
- Rapid growth of the virtualization infrastructure (vm sprawl) impacting poller performance
- Extending Orion NPM’s monitoring to include VoIP, MPLS, or VPN based networks
Can anyone tell me how to monitor IPSEC VPN tunnels and VOIP Kit? I would like to monitor some VPN Stats from a pair of Cisco ASR routers and various parts of our VOIP network, do I require an additional addon or something?
Cheers,
Sean
