Network bandwidth utilization monitoring is essential to finding the root cause of a slow network. SolarWinds® Hybrid Cloud Observability has network utilization monitoring capabilities for providing comprehensive network traffic and bandwidth analysis based on SNMP monitoring and flow data. Hybrid Cloud Observability includes integrated network bandwidth utilization monitoring capabilities to enable you to detect, diagnose, and resolve network performance issues with ease.

Identify top talkers within minutes to address high bandwidth usage

Identify top talkers within minutes to address high bandwidth usage

Capabilities within Hybrid Cloud Observability can help you understand your network bandwidth utilization through interactive charts and graphs for the insights you need. Integrated Flow analytics can use NetFlow, J-Flow, sFlow, NetStream, and IPFIX data built into most routers. The monitoring top talkers feature helps identify which users, applications, and protocols consume most of the bandwidth.

Prioritize network bandwidth utilization by the most important devices

Prioritize network bandwidth utilization by the most important devices

High-priority applications like VoIP (and other cloud-based applications) need bandwidth priority. Hybrid Cloud Observability allows you to configure predefined Quality of Service (QoS) policies, prioritizing traffic flow to your most crucial applications. Then, you can measure pre- and post-policy traffic levels per class map to determine if your QoS policies are working. You can decide what devices need the bandwidth and make them a priority.

Get bandwidth utilization alerts to address performance issues proactively

Hybrid Cloud Observability provides real-time alerts for bandwidth hogs, so you can get notified when a device starts to use too much bandwidth. With customizable notification thresholds, Hybrid Cloud Observability allows you to set simple or complex conditions to trigger alerts based on simple bandwidth utilization or nested conditions based on your network topology. Custom alerting also reduces unwanted alerts to your inbox, focusing on the network issues important to you.

Customize network traffic reporting with drag-and-drop metrics

Customize network traffic reporting with drag-and-drop metrics

Reporting is a key step in network bandwidth utilization monitoring, allowing you to document monitoring results and view a snapshot of your network metrics in a user-friendly format. The SolarWinds Platform offers predefined reports, including customizable reports. IPv4 and IPv6 reporting are available, with categories ranging from NetFlow reports to historical CBQoS reports.

Do you find yourself asking…
  • What is network bandwidth utilization?
  • How can Hybrid Cloud Observability present the cause of high bandwidth utilization?
  • Does Hybrid Cloud Observability offer visualizations of network bandwidth utilization?
  • How does network utilization alerting work with Hybrid Cloud Observability?
  • What are other network monitoring Hybrid Cloud Observability features?
  • What is network bandwidth utilization?

    In the simplest terms, network bandwidth utilization is the rate at which data can flow through your network. Traditionally measured in bits per second (bps), higher bandwidth allows more traffic flow from one device to another.

    Measuring network bandwidth utilization is a key component of any network monitoring solution. To avoid downtime and stalled applications, you need to quickly identify which devices consume the most bandwidth. With a fast and reliable method of utilization monitoring, you can identify and troubleshoot the most problematic devices.

  • How can Hybrid Cloud Observability present the cause of high bandwidth utilization?

    Hybrid Cloud Observability offers a proactive solution to high bandwidth utilization. When a bandwidth hog begins to slow down your network, you need a monitoring tool capable of identifying high bandwidth utilization as quickly as possible. With BAP, you can use graphs and charts in your dashboard to monitor network bandwidth usage from devices, IP addresses, applications, protocols, and other users consuming the most bandwidth.

    By monitoring traffic flow, Hybrid Cloud Observability allows you to analyze network traffic patterns and understand where your traffic is headed. With one-minute granularity, you can identify the highest-consuming nodes over time.

  • Does Hybrid Cloud Observability offer visualizations of network bandwidth utilization?

    Yes. Visualizations are an essential part of capabilities offered within Hybrid Cloud Observability, providing intuitive analytics for network diagnostics. Hybrid Cloud Observability offers customizable data visualizations, exportable to custom reports.

    You can view your bandwidth utilization data in area charts, pie charts, and area chart summaries. Visualization tools also allow you to zoom in to identify more granular data points and disable data you consider irrelevant. With intuitive graphics and editing software, Hybrid Cloud Observability is highly effective at identifying trends in network bandwidth utilization. Whether you're focused on historical or real-time data trends, you can pinpoint your desired time frame using the drag-and-drop graphing tools, with granularity down to one minute.

  • How does network utilization alerting work with Hybrid Cloud Observability?

    Alerts are a crucial part of proactive bandwidth utilization monitoring. With Hybrid Cloud Observability, you get real-time alerts delivered straight to your inbox. Customizable alert thresholds ensure you only receive alerts relevant to you.

    Hybrid Cloud Observability offers several types of alerts suitable for different network events. If a node becomes slow or unresponsive, Hybrid Cloud Observability provides an email alert based on your specific performance thresholds. Additionally, you can send alerts to more team members based on how long the alert has been occurring.

    Intelligent alerting with Hybrid Cloud Observability also includes detailed network awareness for troubleshooting performance issues more effectively. Alerts include an analysis of network dependencies to understand exactly how your network is being affected. You can also set nested alerts for more complex traffic flow concerns.

  • What are other network monitoring Hybrid Cloud Observability features?

    Hybrid Cloud Observability has features that include:

    • Monitoring for wireless networks
    • Network path visualizations
    • Cross-stack data correlation with PerfStack™
    • Advanced application recognition with NBAR2
    • Easy implementation of CBQoS policies

    Hybrid Cloud Observability offers real-time insights into bandwidth utilization, performance, and traffic flow patterns. Preventing downtime has never been easier.
