Network Atlas and Aggregated Links

Question

I'm using Network Atlas to build maps that show link utilization using the Connect Now feature. This works fine, but my Network team has pointed out that there are devices that appear to have physical links between them but the link is an aggregate of multiple interfaces. The way Atlas shows utilization is the worst of any of the links in the aggregate. This paints an inaccurate picture since we aren't seeing the utilization for the entire aggregated link. Is there a way to have Atlas display this information correctly?

Good catch! My old age remembered a reference to etherchannel monitoring, but I couldn't remember where. I guess it's not on the current roadmap in NPM, it was a reference in NTM:

ANNOUNCING GENERAL AVAILABILITY OF NTM 2.2

That is completely my bad!

Hi deverts

Sorry for bothering...

I don't see any thing about it here

https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-176899#start=75

Is that will work with Cisco only or dev will test that wi other vendors?

I believe it's on the roadmap for the next release. That said, you can monitor the aggregate link, but you will get aggregate info...nothing link specific. If your network team is anything like me, they are looking for link specifics.
