Hello all,
We are testing NPM/NTA right now for one purpose: high bandwidth alerting out of two interfaces (each on separate routers). We essentially have 4 departments (subnets) that share the bandwidth, and whenever total bandwidth hits over 90% on either interface, we want an alert triggered along with a corresponding snapshot report to show us which subnets are using the bandwidth (in %) in descending order so we can alert the appropriate network admin of the high utilization. We are not interested in seeing individual host IP addresses. Is this possible?
I've spoken with a few engineers there and the answer went from "yes, it's pretty simple" to "you'll need to get with one of your SQL developers as this will take a minimum of a few hours to sort out". This is the busiest time of the year for our small department and me being a new guy here, I don't want to saddle someone with hours of wading through this only to figure out that it can't be done. Thank you for your time.
