What is IP Multicasting? While traditional IP communication allows a host to send packets to a single host (unicast transmission) or to all hosts (broadcast transmission), IP multicast is new a bandwidth-conserving technology that allows a host to send packets to a subset of all hosts as a group transmission. Multicast…
Being new to NMP / SolarWinds, I am trying to determine the recent change in NPM 10.5 / 10.6 related to multicast status. Understanding that the advanced alert is now applied related to monitoring multicast, what is SolarWinds using to determine / monitor the multicast status?...i.e..SNMP? I believe I can turn off the…
We have three deployments of Solarwinds NPM and all three of them, I get the following error message when trying to preview the "Multicast Group Details" view. "Could not locate a network device for view Multicast Group Details. You may have created a view limitation that is too restrictive." Does this view work for anyone…
Hi, NPM currently provides Multicast monitoring. However, we find multicast troubleshooting still fairly complex ..It would be good to have a Multicast Troubleshooting tab that incorporates the following - 1. Check Multicast Source 2. Check Multicast Network 3. Check Multicast Receivers Source / Reciver checks - show ip…
Does NPM able to show Multicast Error in dashboard?
NetPath is just brilliant !! No questions about it. It surely is a game changer for all of us. We would love to see NetPath expand its domain to also include Multicast. Solarwinds NPM does a fairly good job in showcasing Multicast specially with NPM and NTA installed. Would love to see a Multicast NetPath. Addon -
I am having difficulties tweaking NPM to give me a correct and useful overview of my multicast traffic. Is this still being developed heavily, is it hard to make a simple multicast at-a-glance debug or is there already a way to make it useful within NPM :-) First problem is that Orion has detected and reported all…
Greetings, I am running NPM 11.01. We monitor several hundred multicast groups and monitoring is working fine. I would, however, like to have NPM perform a reverse DNS lookup on the multicast groups (239.x.x.x addresses) to self populate the 'name' field of the multicast group IP table. The addresses are loaded into our…
We have a mix of Cisco and Arista devices. NPM can detect the multicast groups from the Cisco devices, but not from the Arista ones. Since we use a lot of multicasting, this would be extremely useful.
Hello Everyone, I'm new on solarwinds world, so please excuse me if the questions is too simple. I could not find anything on the website, so i decided to post this question. I added my switches on NPM, but i could not find how to get the amount of igmp groups on the node. That information is very important for me because…
