I have a router with multiple interfaces for load balancing. Can I start multiple instances of NetWorx for monitoring each router WAN interface?

Thanks

There is no need to run several instances of NetWorx simultaneously. One will do the job very nicely. You can simply add multiple interfaces in NetWorx v7.0 and above, and have them all recorded separately:

Will this also show a graph for each interface? Are these 2 features part of the portable installation also?

Thanks

Yes, there will be two separate graphs (floating, not taskbar) and this functionality is available in the portable version.

Simply go to Settings - Mode - Settings - Router Monitoring and add your two routers.

Oh this is good news.

I have 2 questions:
1) Is there a limit to how many interfaces I can monitor?
2) I have 2 old portable applications that are launched from the startup folder, and each has its own db file. If I install this 7.x version, how can I import data from those earlier applications?

Thanks

There is no limit on how many interfaces you can monitor at the same time.

I am afraid it is not possible to merge two databases from version 6.x into a single database for version 7.x. Instead, I recommend starting anew and configuring version 7.x from scratch. You are welcome to download a free 30-day trial of the portable version from the NetWorx home page and see how it works for you.
