https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Polled-traffic-over-100-not-showing-in-graphs - this article exists to display interface utilization when it's above 100%. You can indeed set custom bandwidth to display within your 100%, but if you have a burstable interface with a set bandwidth this idea doesn't work. The problem is, you have to change this on every single poller.
I'd this to be a checkbox in polling settings so that you don't need a support article to be able to modify this.
The article says (and what I'd like to be a GUI checkbox/toggle):
Resolution 2 (Steps must be completed against all polling engines):
- Warning: Save a copy of the original SolarWinds.Interfaces.Collector.dll.config file to your local drive as a backup file, in case you need to roll back later.
- SolarWinds strongly recommends that you only edit the SolarWinds.Interfaces.Collector.dll.config file as instructed. Any additional modifications may result in system performance issues or may create an error state.
- Log in to your Orion server.
- Go to C:\Program Files(x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\Interfaces\
- Open SolarWinds.Interfaces.Collector.dll.config in a text editor.
- Replace the following line:
<add key="ValidateCounters" value="True" />
with
<add key="ValidateCounters" value="False" /> - Restart SolarWinds services. Refer to Start and stop Orion services.
