I'm trying to find a way to filter alerts related to High Interface Utilization caused by our Backup Server running its nightly jobs.
I know this traffic will occur, but I don't need the heart attack every morning when I forget that this is what is causing the 90% plus utilization on our Internet link at 2am.
I'm not monitoring the Backup Server, but can, and am wondering if that is the easiest way to filter this. But I'm also not seeing any features that will allow me to suppress alerts based on source or destination addresses within the flow itself...I know other tools I've worked with would allow me to exclude certain source addresses and their traffic as known good devices. I don't think this is built into Solarwinds yet.
Open for suggestions or ideas. I've seen other posts about adding resources to NPM for more advanced filtering, but that's beyond my skill set and I haven't tried that yet.
Thanks in advance,
William
