Anyone using NetScout+nGenius+ONE to monitor CISCO ACI and if so are you monitoring at the EPG's only?

I am trying to record Mobile application via jmeter for which I have done all the necessary setup in mobile device and desktop jmeter. I am facing issues with Windows Firewall as it is blocking all incoming traffic from the mobile, as this machine is administered by my organization i cannot turn off the firewall, any suggestions on how I can allow the traffic with firewall enabled?
Due to proxy setup the traffic will always come from a single port although the IP address may change depending upon the device.

Ask your network administrators instead of JMeter community in the Internet
Get yourself a separate Wi-Fi adapter which can act as an access point and connect your mobile device to it
Use an emulator or simulator instead of real device so everything will happen on your machine
Install a sniffer tool on the device and capture traffic there directly, once you have a .pcap or .har file you can use BlazeMeter Converter for transforming it into a JMeter script.
This is Yaseen Zafar. DevOps Engineer from Integrated Dealer Systems. We have multiple customers whose servers are hosted on multiple locations from Canada to America. They are hosted on premises (i.e. they are not currently on Azure). Though we are currently using Microsoft Azure Log Analytics to get some insights of the Windows and Linux Servers. So far it has been a very good experience.
Actually I wanted to know if there is any solution available on Azure that can show me firewall related logs, rules, IP and port details ingested from the Windows and Linux Servers that are hosted on premise location.
Best Regards.

• Yes, there is a way through which you can forward your on-premises firewall logs to Azure log analytics workspace since almost every firewall device has syslog functionality in built in it to forward logs to a log management server on a specific port. Thus, similarly, on-premises firewall logs that include all data collected related to the traffic passed inbound and outbound to the environment can be forwarded to a Linux virtual machine which then can be forwarded to the Azure Log Analytics.
• Syslog is the cross-platform equivalent of Windows Event log which can be leveraged by forwarding these syslog messages to Azure Log Analytics through Linux machines. This linux system should be deployed as a virtual appliance (VM) in on-premises or in Azure cloud such that the syslog-generating firewalls can communicate directly with them. The Linux forwarder can be on-premises physically near the firewall, or it can be in Azure or another cloud, connected to your firewall by an IPSEC tunnel. The Linux computer has a Log Analytics agent configured to communicate with your Log Analytics workspace.
• Once your firewall is connected to Azure Log Analytics you should create a custom dashboard solution that suits your needs. You will have excellent visibility and gain a lot of insight into your firewall operation by studying the collected and indexed syslog data in the Log search feature of the Azure portal. You will notice which types of data your firewall is delivering and learn what to monitor to meet your business and security needs.
Please find the below links for more information on how to configure the Linux virtual machine as a syslog forwarder and how to implement the above stated solution as a whole: -

I'm trying to monitor cpu temperature via snmp and display in zabbix dashborad, but I can't find temperature from snmp , then I saw lm-sensors used for temperature monitoring, so I need better solution for monitor cpu temperature and config it with zabbix via snmp & lm-sensors.
I have installed my zabbix server in desktop(ubuntu 18.04) , zabbix server and agent work properly, and also zabbiz dashbord. And I'm trying to install snmp in another laptop(ubuntu 18.04) and monitor my laptop's cpu temerature via snmp. both machine are in same network and snmp agent work poperly, according to zabbix dashboard(green snmp icon).
I want to show temperature on zabbix dashboard via snmp. can any one help?
I need to analyse the performance reports of my server for which I am using Server Performance Monitoring in Jmeter which needs an installation of Perfmon metrics collector and Perfmon Server Agent. But, as I have installed Jmeter on local and I do not have the rights to install anything on Server, I am not able to install Perfmon Server agent to get the reports. However, I came to know that a Windows server has an inbuilt Perfmon installed but I do not know how to use it.
Hence, I need help in sending the reports from server using Windows performance monitor and collecting those reports in Jmeter installed on local machine.
You have 2 options:
In Windows Performance Monitor there is an option to connect to remote machine:
You can create your own Data Collector Set and write counters data into a file. Once your test is finished you will be able to copy the file and analyze the collected metrics.
Unfortunately you won't be able to integrate Windows Performance Monitor reports into a JMeter test, it will be a standalone monitoring option. Basically Server Agent doesn't require "installation", you can just copy it over and make sure JMeter can connect to port 4444, see How to Monitor Your Server Health & Performance During a JMeter Load Test article for details.
There are Panasonic made tablets having o/s Windows-7. Two applications are installed on these devices.Can Jmeter record these apps?
JMeter can record any HTTP or HTTPS requests which are going through its HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
If your 2 applications do network communication via aforementioned protocols you should be able to record them using the following steps:
Launch JMeter Proxy Server
Configure tablets to use WiFi rather then cellular data
Make sure that tablets and the host running JMeter are on the same network/subnet
Open port 8080 in JMeter's host firewall
Configure tablets to use JMeter's host as a proxy
Start applications and execute your test scenario
