How do I monitor latency between two nodes in our environment?

We have an environment with two pollers, polling numerous nodes within our environment.

If I click on a given node, I can see stats for response time, packet loss, ie latency but this is recording the latency between the poller and the target node.

How would I capture and monitor the latency between two nodes? So between node a and node b.

  • Unless I'm getting the wrong end of your question, then so long as you have the specific interface(s) that connect these two nodes together, then you can go to the specific interface summary pages for each and see traffic, etc...

    Alternatively you could set up a specific Perf Analysis project, add the distinct interfaces in and whatever metrics you want.

  • Thank you very much for the response, its much appreciated.

    The trouble is that two given sites don't have a link which is exclusive to those two sites. So lets say that we have a regional colo in NYC, which hosts resources for a number of other US sites. If I look at the network utilisation of the colo site in NYC, I'm seeing the collective traffic of all sites which access those resources.

    So I'm not sure I can gauge latency between the colo NYC site and say denver. As the link isn't exclusive.

    Hope that I am making some sense, I'm a solarwinds person rather than a network engineer Slight smile
