    Please see your OS vendor documentation for enabling SNMP agent

    This is a part of most current OS such as windows 2012 and Linux distributions.

    Please check with your OS admin if you need details.

    The cdm probe can get the bytes per sec when using the AC to configure the cdm probe.

    But,our customer want to see the utilization  of host's network interface. Does cdm probe support these metrics?

    Yes. It is possible through CDM probe, but config GUI is only visible in AC GUI.

    But cdm probe just can provide metrics of bytes per second,there are not metrics of Utilization in cdm probe. In the AC GUI, I cant find the network interface utilization metrics. Our customer think the utilization is more important than byte per second.

    Thank you for response.

    You are correct. Utilization metric is not provided through CDM probe as of today.

    Our choice (as of today) will be SNMPcollector, since interface_traffic is scheduled to be EOL soon.
