I need to be able to see how everything in my SolarWinds environment looked, at any given moment in the past. (Limited only by the retention settings of the system, of course...)
As an example, let's say we had a major outage at 5pm on a Monday, and I need to investigate everything the following morning at 8am. I want to be able to set a time line feature for 5pm the previous day, and then be able to navigate throughout my system, seeing everything as it was at the selected time frame of 5pm Monday. I want to be able to go to that specific moment in time, and see all angles of the same data.
My brain is picturing that scene from "The Matrix", where Trinity jumps up to kick the guy, then the camera spins around her while she hangs out up in the air. (Yes, I know, there were a bunch of cameras that formed a circle around her, and the camera did not actually spin around her... focus... back to the point...)
A very similar feature is actually used in NTA, as well as in the new NetPath, allowing the user to view the stats as they appeared at any given moment in history.
Initial discussion here: Is There A Way To View The Status Of The Entire Network/SolarWinds Environment, At Any Given Moment In History?
Thank you,
