Sangfor HCI Throughput Tools testing

Hi Team,

Any idea or tools to measure network throughput in Sangfor HCI?

Thanks,

Hanif

HiHi,

Sangfor HCI includes performance monitoring tools to track various network throughput metrics.

These tools offer real-time insights into network performance, including bandwidth usage, latency, and packet loss.

1. Access the virtual machine information page by clicking on the virtual machine name in the virtual machine list on the Compute page.

2. Review the CPU, Memory, and Disk capacity utilization of the virtual machine on the Summary page.

3. Observe the Throughput, Flow Rate, CPU trend, Memory, IO Speed, and IO SWAP.

Hi, it's possible to monitor CPU,memory and network usage within every single virtual machine (after installing virtual tools).

To measure network throughput in Sangfor HCI, you can utilize various tools such as iPerf, a widely-used open-source tool for measuring TCP and UDP bandwidth performance. Alternatively, Sangfor may offer proprietary tools or monitoring features within their HCI platform specifically designed for performance evaluation. These tools typically allow you to simulate traffic and analyze throughput metrics to assess network performance accurately.

Hi,

You can use snmp to get all types of measuses from your servers and services. And use it on plataforms that can show you all kind of graphs with many  dashboard options like  zabbix or grafana...

Thanks

Network traffic analysis (NTA) is an advanced method for the inspection and breakdown of the data packets that form network traffic by use of a combination of behavior modeling, machine learning, and rule-based detection to root out any suspicious activity. A baseline of normal behavior can be identified through this analysis and any outliers can be flagged down and isolated as potential threats.

You can check the status of it in the Sangfor HCI, you can check the Throughput, CPU, memory, IO Speed and SWAP

To measure network throughput in a Sangfor Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) environment, you can utilize below mentioned tools and techniques.

1. Sangfor NSP built-in monitoring tools

2. Packet Capture and Analysis

3. Network Simulation and Testing Tools

4. VM-level network performance monitoring

Sangfor HCI itself provides tools to monitor and measure network throughput:

1. Dashboard:

    Access the Sangfor HCI web admin console.
    Navigate to the "Dashboard" section.
    Look for the "Network status" option, which displays real-time and 24-hour throughput information.

2. Per-interface statistics:

    Within the "Network status" window, click the settings icon in the top right corner.
    This will display detailed per-interface bandwidth utilization graphs.

These tools allow you to monitor overall network traffic and identify specific interfaces experiencing high utilization.

Here are some additional points to consider:

    Sangfor HCI literature suggests a minimum 1 Gbps physical network bandwidth for optimal performance, including during migration tasks.
    For further analysis or troubleshooting, consider using external network monitoring tools alongside Sangfor's built-in options.

Hi,

Sangfor HCI offers built-in tools to monitor/measure network throughput:

1. Go to Sangfor HCI Web Admin Console and navigate to Dashboard > Network Status
You can see live and 24hour throughput information

2. Under Network Status window mentioned in step 1,  click the settings icon in the corner.

this will displays a detailed breakdown of bandwidth utilization for each network interface.
