Netpath - Individual path via proxy

Netpath Is USELESS for any situation when a proxy redirect is used and a router in not under your control. this is the case for us and user traffic is not accurate when going out the default gateway

Yes that is true for inside the our network but not out to the internet, where there are vended services

I think your solution is to install the agent in the partner's environment.  If you can find a way to get access to that view from your SolarWinds monitoring solution, you'll have the best possible world.

If that's not an option, you could consider having the partner install TracerouteNG in their environment and then occasionally send you screen shots of its output.  You won't have the map and historical change information, but it's far better than just relying on plain old Windows tracert.

The issue is not for the Orion environment to have the path, but it would be nice, but to have the path that the partner would take.  An agent on a partner system would be Great if NetPath could take advantage of the that path.  But It must be able to take the same path as the partner, Via the Proxy then out the Firewall and back again. Going "around" these does not give a true path that the partner uses.

Or just install the windows agent on some windows machines at different locations and use them as the NetPath source.

If you don't find a way to do this that specifically meets your needs, think about whether there are ways to work around it.

For example, If your main NPM poller is already set up for one NetPath to a specific destination, is there a way you can leverage NetPath on an Additional Polling Engine to follow a different path, use a different proxy, etc.?

I can see the benefits.  I'd think there'd have to be a place where a proxy is defined/required for each different NetPath solution.

Or force a specific route that includes the Proxy for some NetPaths, and avoid that route for others.  I'll be interested to see how this turns out.

Good Idea and this allows admins to have NetPath use different Proxy server at different location.

Very strong idea, cause Netpath is used to replicate user path it would be good to have ability to add proxy per location/probe.
