Something tells me that modifying top talkers to 100% and using the existing report will not yield the same results as leaving the top talker at 95% and modifying the report. What do you suggest? I am leaning towards setting top talker to 100% so I get all the data and let the report handle 95th percentilization of the…

Hi Radekn, Very good response. That clears up a lot of the discrepancy. So as far as the process of the 95th percentile custom NetFlow report...is this accurate? NTA collects data on the bandwidth usage in bps for an IP Group. Since top talker optimization is enabled it is computing these averages based on 95% of total…

Hi Radekn, I don't understand. Do I want to disable 95 Top talkers or have it enabled? Matt

Hi Radekn, Again thanks for the info. Your assistance has been invaluable. Two more quick questions. Is there a sample interval for these reports or do they operate by all flows the collector receives? I noticed a discrepancy when creating an IP group for ALL TRAFFIC (0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255) then viewing the 95th…

Thanks Radekn. I ran into a issue with the reports. It doesn't seem to be using the new IP Groups I implemented. I see all the old ones but the 4 or 5 new ones I put in are not being reported on (neither 30 days or 7 days). It is happening with both SW servers. Any tips to make it use the current IP Groups in the custom…

Hi Radekn, The reports look great. Is there a way to filter on a specific IP Group and interface easily? For example, I have 4 groups for customer A: Group 1 - web servers Group 2 - application servers Group 3 - database servers Group 4 - Aggregate of Groups 1, 2, & 3 (basically all the IPs of the groups are added together…

Any thoughts on this radekn?

I also am wondering if it would be possible to get a 95th percentile bandwidth utilization report by IP Group but also by interface for a certain time period. 

Hi Radekn, Here is what the SolarWinds UI is looking like. Router 1 is the Netflow exporter. All the traffic captured in the IP Groups in the 95th percentile ip group report are going through this router. It is thought that ingress and egress traffic are going to look different, rather than identical as in the report. I…

Hi Radekn, In the new version of the reports the ingress traffic is identical to egress traffic. The total works fine, but I am curious as to why this is happening as I was expecting the traffic to be quite asymmetric (much more traffic going out versus coming in). Any thoughts? Thanks, Matt

Hi Radekn, Another question for you. In looking at the report for live traffic (for the current month). These are the numbers that I am getting: This is for private addresses. Ingress Egress Total 36364959 39829696 36364959 This doesn't make sense to me, that the total is equal to ingress traffic. Could you please explain…

Hi Radekn, For the "last month" report, is that using data from the last calendar month (say you ran a report on July 15, it would report on data from June 1 - 30) or is it by the last 30 days (running report on July 15 gets you data from June 15 - July 15) or none of the above? Thanks, Matt

Thanks Radekn. This works great. Do you know if there will be support for this type of functionality in the GUI in the future? Another thing I was interested in using IP groups, but only to track a specific conversation, for example 172.16.1.1 to 192.168.1.1. Is this possible using IP groups right now? I guess what my…
