Monitoring Multiple Sites

[MiradorIT 0]

We have a client with 8 retail stores and will be opening more and want to use Domotz to monitor each store. Each one has a SonicWALL with 3 VLANs. Is it possible to deploy a single Domotz box at the HQ location to do this, and still be able to monitor the WAN bandwidth?

Even though this is technically possible, we still recommend a Domotz Agent for each store. This is because leveraging the 3 VLANs on each location, you will be able to collect all the information on each location (layer 2 provides MAC addresses and much more details for each device to be monitored). On the contrary, leveraging just the Layer 3 connectivity, will limited the capability to monitor remote devices (usually VPN limitations).

 

Moreover, if you want to monitor the WAN bandwidth for each location/store, a dedicated Agent per location/store is required.
