The SNMP agent does not need additional software, only to have SNMP enabled and configured. In this guide, we will configure the SNMP agent locally on the server that we want to monitor, which is a Windows Server 2012: In the diagram below, the Engineer’s Toolset acts as the SNMP Manager, you need to get the SNMP Agent working on your server. However, you first need to ensure that your Windows Server system is set up to listen for those report requests and respond to them. The Engineer’s Toolset will poll the network with broadcast MIB requests periodically.
As well as showing traffic flows in both directions from the specified device moment by moment, the tool will store recordings over time for historical analysis. This tool is part of the Engineer’s Toolset and you can set it up to monitor any of the devices on your network that you have identified with SNMP. To keep track of the bandwidth usage of a Windows Server in real-time, you can use the SolarWinds Bandwidth Gauges. We've created this step-by-step guide that will show you different case scenarios of how you can keep track of your bandwidth usage, especially for Windows Servers: Monitoring Windows Server Bandwidth in Real-Time Identifying the root cause by using a bandwidth monitor will help you get rid of the problem and improve your bandwidth usage. It could be related to an application consuming too much bandwidth, a user streaming Netflix constantly, or even an issue at the ISP.
What you need to do, is get to the root cause of the problem. You’ll find a workaround to the problem, but soon the slowness of the network will catch up to you again. We’ve already heard the usual complaints from end-users… “my Internet is slow…,” or “my downloads are taking too long…” and the first thing that comes to our mind is to go out and buy more bandwidth.īut adding more bandwidth into the problem is a quick-and-dirty solution.
