I just setup the evaluation of LEM and I can't figure out how to turn off the simulated test traffic?
Hi, Byron.
What version of the LEM Console are you running?
If you are using the 5.3 evaluation Console, see: Stopping the Data Simulator in a LEM Evaluation Console.
If you are using the 5.3.1 (latest) evaluation Console, you should have a Stop button on the Data Simulator widget:
Let us know if neither of these fixes your problem.
Thanks.
P.S. You can see your Console version by clicking the SolarWinds logo in the upper-left corner.
I believe I am on the latest version because I have the data simulator; however, I have turned everything off on that yet the data continues to flow in.
That's interesting because that resembles a bug that we had in the data simulator in the 5.3 Console. If you don't mind, double-check the version by clicking the logo in the upper-left, and then try the steps outlined in the KB linked above. If you're on 5.3.1 and you're having that problem, that's something I'll have to report to Dev. In either case, hopefully the workaround in the KB will work for you. If it doesn't, we can get a Sales Engineer involved.
Thanks again!
Ah, seems the demo that I downloaded was just 3.5 so that seemed to work. Thanks so much!
So, is it possible to add my own nodes? I have a node that I want to send Syslog traffic from into LEM. I don't see the ability to add that node in LEM.
