Having Trouble Getting Top Talkers Working

solarwinds11 over 7 years ago

New Solarwinds user here. I am having trouble getting top talkers working in NPM 11.5.2. I have enabled SNMP on all devices but they do not show any data. It has been 24 hours since my test run of two different locations. I have been able to reach two computers only. WMI method works fine but obviously that does not measure bandwidth. I have scanned two different network locations around the Tri-state area and was only able to see two computers through snmp polling method out of 117 computers. This is after I used solarwinds SNMP Enabler to get these locations configured for SNMP. I thought that would work and it did turn on SNMP on the various devices. I just can't seem to poll bandwidth data. Firewalls are turned off on these computers as well. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to send netflow to solarwinds. It is not an snmp issue.

OK. Which device do I have to do this on? I have multiple servers, domain controller, routers etc... My system is pretty closed up so I am not so sure my ISP will allow me to do this.

Ideally on your wan routers or firewalls. Ideally locations that all your traffic enter and exit. Configure ingress and egress on devices that can see endpoints internally and externally.

OK I have a vshpere set up which hosts my domain controllers and all servers, but then I have switches and things located all around the tri-state area and Northern NJ. I'm guessing I am going to have to figure out how to run netflow on those as well? jamesatloop1

Well, not ideal unless you open ports through your firewall as the end points might not be visible. That's why I suggested your wan router if you don't have a hardware firewall or the firewall if you do.
