Best way to get a detailed report on a single node's bandwidth usage over a period of time

G'day, all!

Sorry if this seems elementary to most, but I'm still new to a lot of the reporting section of NPM. I'm attempting to get a report on a predefined node that shows bandwidth usage over a period of time, with the top 10-25 destinations. So, machine X downloaded XX GB on MM/DD/YYYY, and graph or list with top destinations. Easy to do? Have I completely overlooked something?

Thanks in advance,

You could probably just duplicate and edit one of the default traffic reports, selecting the specific node and modifying the date/time.

Otherwise, for the destination data, and if you're not already using it, NTA will likely be the tool for that solution. support.solarwinds.com/netflow-traffic-analyzer

This sounds like a job for, NTA. While NPM should be able to cover the XX GB bandwidth at a specific moment in time, NTA should be able to list out the top destinations for which that node was doing business. If you don't have NTA, then you'd likely need to do way too much work behind the scenes, with logs and other such weird magics, and probably wouldn't get you where you needed to be.

Netflow was exactly what I needed. Nice little chart with top destinations and total usage for one host. That was almost too easy... Thanks!
