How to check amount of traffic between SDN API and Monitoring Node

[Anon]

I am looking for a way to find amount of data being sent from SDN API to Prognosis Monitoring node.

Hi Lukasz,

Prognosis has this ability built in as part of it's infrastructure capabilities. To get to the right display :

WIndows Client:
1. Open the main 'Welcome to PROGNOSIS Cross Platform Systems Management' that exists in the Knowledge folder
2. Click into the server for your Lync Monitoring Node
3. Click on the Network Navigation option on the left
4. Click on Ports Monitor Link at the top
5. Click into the port entry for 3000 (In 'Listening Ports' window)
6. Click on the 'Port 3000' drilldown link in the 'See Traffic' column

Web Interface:
Same steps except, to get to the opening dashboard, scroll down to the 'Servers' group and click on the 'WIndows entry there. Then the same drilldown steps as above.

Please try this and let me know if you find it useful by replying to this forum topic.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the information. It is exactly what I need. However, on my server it all looks good except for 2 things:

1. The Listeners does not have the Port 3000 data even though netstat on that server shows it should be there.
2. When drilling down on the Port 3000 data from the window below that, the display opens like yours, but no data ever populates.

I am sure this is just a configuration somewhere. Can you advise where this might be?

Regards
Lukasz

Hi Lukasz,

Thank you for using the forum. I think this topic will benefit multiple customer's.

I have done some research on the Network Manager topic and some environments (Especially those with multiple NICS), may need some extra configurations to the irnetmon.ini file. The below online help topic covers this setup:

http://help.prognosis.com/dr/Prognosis_11-2/mergedProjects/Infrastructure/HTML_Files/Prognosis_for_Distributed_Systems/07-Enterprise_Server_Managment/Dist-NetworkMgr-MultiNicConfig.htm

Tips:
See attached screenshots to this reply showing the 2 WIndows registry locations for one of my test servers.
I would advise if multiple NIC's are indeed present, that you configure all of them using this method
In my example below, my folder name was 11, so the 2nd location I looked for 10 (As the online help directs to subtract 1 from the value)
Be sure to remove the ; character from [;Adapter=1]

My Adapter from the screenshots then looked like the following in irnetmon.ini:

[Adapter=1]
InterfaceIndex=10
SubnetCapacity=100
Lean=0

Please reply to this topic and let me know if this helps.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for sharing the steps. I checked registry keys and they match for each monitoring node. I changed the irnetmon.ini file and it started working for one monitoring node.
I am checking why do not see any traffic on two other ones.

Thanks,

Lukasz

second node is showing data.
Still checking 3rd one. But I am sure it will work.
Thanks a lot for your help Adam!
