How to build top talkers bandwidth report

Post by NagioMon2021 »

Running XI 5.8.6

We have a mix of 1gig and 10gig services and pulling a report/graph of the top talkers is a bit more complicated than originally thought....

It would be nice to make a one-click view/dashboard/report of the bandwidth graphs sorted by top talkers.

Right now, I can get the reports and graphs for one device or interface, but when I don't know which 10gig interfaces are serving the maxed out 1gig links, it takes a while to scroll through all 7000 monitored interfaces to narrow it down

With that, I'm having trouble taking this concept and applying it to Nagios

I agree that would be nice functionality to have, I have submitted a feature request to development for this:

FR: XI - Add Top Talkers Bandwidth Report for Ports

Please keep in mind that the decision to implement the enhancement is at the discretion of our development team.

Same.

On a side-note, Nagios Network Analyzer can do a Top Talkers report which will show you the talk talkers by IP if your switches/routers can send netflow/sflow:
