Bandwidth Usage Monitoring
Easily check your network bandwidth utilization
Set alerts to help prevent network bandwidth hogs from reaching utilization thresholds
By configuring SolarWinds® NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) alerts based on a predefined top talker or CBQoS alerts, you can ensure you’ll be notified when the current percent utilization of an interface surpasses a specified threshold. You can also change the threshold for top talker alerts. These alerts are built to identify top network bandwidth hogs rapidly, so you can analyze heavy usage and gain insight into whether you may need to add capacity or block these top talkers.
Avoid outages and slowdowns by monitoring by application and IP
With NTA, you can gain visibility into which applications are eating up your network bandwidth, with insight into traffic from designated ports, destination and source IPs, and protocols. You can also create your own IP address groups to view network traffic the way you want. Get notified quickly via instant alerts of which applications consume the most network bandwidth.
Turn usage data into useful reports for better bandwidth capacity planning and analysis
Monitor interface-level network bandwidth and traffic patterns, and convert your data into charts and tables for visibility. Bandwidth capacity planning will help you analyze how a network is used and plan ahead to ensure you’ll have sufficient capacity as your needs grow. You'll also be able to find the source of bandwidth use by application, protocol, and IP address group, determine the cause of network slowness, and customize detailed network traffic and bandwidth reports.
Diagnose and troubleshoot high bandwidth utilization to avoid network performance issues
High bandwidth utilization can cause several network performance issues, but with NTA, you can be proactive in catching top talkers and heading off these types of problems. Instantly get an email sent to your inbox by setting alerts like High Receive Percent Utilization with Top Talkers and High Transmit Percent Utilization with Top Talkers. These alerts trigger when the percent utilization of an interface exceeds a set percentage—75%, or whatever you choose.
Keep tabs on applications and clients utilizing bandwidth on your wireless network
Get insight into what’s using your wireless bandwidth with NTA wireless LAN controller (WLC) network traffic analysis. NTA includes Cisco Meraki MX/Z Series support, so you can visualize traffic flows from the interface and achieve better control of bandwidth use. Look into traffic flows from routers, firewalls, and switches. NTA makes it possible to map between Flow Interface ID and SNMP Interface ID to ensure you have the information you need.

Do you find yourself asking…
Bandwidth usage monitoring involves measuring bandwidth speed and capacity as well as network traffic between devices and applications. It's important to understand how bandwidth is utilized on your network, and monitoring bandwidth usage is now one of the most critical functions for any network admin.
Bandwidth refers to a network's capacity to transfer data over the internet or between devices and is measured in bits per second (bps or bit/sec). As such, bandwidth capacity—the maximum data rate a link can transfer at—becomes an important factor to consider since your infrastructure needs to support all your bandwidth usage.
To gain insight into current and future bandwidth consumption, bandwidth monitoring will help you understand usage, traffic flow, and network strains. You'll also be able to prevent bandwidth hogs from exceeding utilization thresholds, potentially causing slowdowns and outages.
