Have a mix of SNMP and WMI sensors (devices all on unmanaged switches) and I can run built in reports showing top average bandwidth utilization. I'm looking to find top talker(s) at a given point in time. Is this possible under SNMP/WMI bandwidth sensor collection?

Hi,
no, Top Talkers are only available for flow or Packet Sniffer Sensors but not for SNMP or WMI. Sorry.
Best regards

So, there's is nothing from a SNMP or WMI bandwidth sensor standpoint that will give me most used bandwidth at a specific point in time? Trying to wrap my head around the fact I can run a 'Top 100 Most/Least Used Bandwidth Sensor' (Highest averages) for an entire day, but can't identify device with highest bandwidth at a given point in time...

Hi,
it is not possible identifying single hosts using bandwidth with SNMP or WMI sensors. This is not due to the sensors but when using these sensors the target device is just not offering more data. However, if every of the devices you want to monitor is connected to one switch port you might just use SNMP to get the data of this precise port.
Best regards
