One of my clients have query about bandwidth fetching mechanism of solarwinds . How Solarwinds fetch bandwidth details from device , is it automatically or we have to set it manually?
It will pull the interface details from SNMP or WMI, or whatever you are using to gather information, and if you need to change a value, some can be altered. A common example is that the bandwidth may be capable of 10 Gb of traffic but you have forced a maximum of 1 Gb, and want to alert and chart based on that maximum. On the interface you can force the value you want. Not everything is like that, but for the most part its all built into the system. Best way to understand it is to set up a 30 day demo, it doesn't take long.
Thanks mate
