Solarwinds 2002 Engineers Edition
We have been experiencing erratic performance issues relating to our VSAT which is our primary connection to the internet, and I am looking for network monitoring tools to help me track down the problem.
I've installed Solarwinds (nice product) and I am trying to find an easy way to monitor the top talkers on my network. It appears that the only way to do this is to add all the interfaces into the Network Performance Monitor and pull the stats from there, but this isn't a very friendly way of doing things. I know this is more of a case of RTFM than an actual problem but if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Cheers.

Thanks for your help guys, i'lll take a look at NTOP, if you know of any others i'll check them out too.
If you run Cisco gear - you can use Cisco NetFlow. Check this out:

Netflow, exported to NTOP is the bomb!
Stands for Network TOP talkers...
