Intergrating Microsoft AD with Solarwinds NTA.

hi ,

advise how to proceed with intergrating NTA with Ms. AD to match data flows to user log-in IDs Within Solawinds NTA.

basically we would like to tell a user consumes what amount of bandwidth...

is this possible and how do you go about it?

  • I believe the closest you can come right now is with UDT and maybe IPAM.   With UDT you get the AD integration to see who's logged in where.  From that you can get the IP address a person is logged in under.   There is no direct link between the two, but you could take that IP address and plug it into NTA and see what they're up to, at least on the WAN where its monitored.   Lots of problems with this, esp. if a user logs into multiple systems and such.

    If you know what switch port they're on you could just turn that on for monitoring too, won't get the detailed application breakdown of NTA, but you will get bandwidth #'s...
