Jason, I did respond, but to another list. Here's my post just in case... - Jason, Been running nSight for a little over a year now with data purge after 13 months. We have 3 agents at remote offices with each inspecting the traffic of around 700-900 hosts. It's been quite helpful. We *had* a ton of P2P traffic in our networks. When we started out last year, we tried to host all 3 agents on a low end HP blade (with a laptop hd). After about 2 months it became very slow (mostly due to disk IO). We upgraded to a faster blade with fast SCSI disk and it's been flying along ever since. Also, according to another poster (Darrin Maidlow) on Full Disclosure, there is a beta program in place right now for nSight 2.0 at http://www.intrusense.com/products/beta. I'm not sure if you're evaluating 2.0 or 1.x. Steve --- Jason Heschel <jason.heschel () gmail com> wrote:
Hello list, We've spent the last few weeks evaluating nSight (a network analysis package from Intrusense) and are now considering making a purchase. I'm curious to hear any opinions, problems or praise people have for this software. Does it scale well? How does it perform after collecting several months worth of data? -jason
