Tipping Point Basic Monitoring???

We have just added all of our Tipping Point IPS devices to Solarwinds, but i noticed that it doesn't present any CPU or Memory usage. We have experienced high CPU problems with our devices of late and until now these nodes were monitored by a team other than mine who use the Tipping Point management tool.

We added these nodes to Solarwinds as we felt we were not being told the full story, but unfortunately Orion hasn't picked up this information. In fact it only picks up interfaces, node details and availability.

Anyone else seen this or know of a way around this? I am new to Tipping Point so not sure whether this is something we need to configure on the nodes to allow or not.

Any help would be great.

Andy,

I've posted my TippingPoint UDP to the content exchange, link below:

With you CPU issue, have you analyzed your filters? Are you just running the recommend filters?

You can do a "Show NP rule-stat", this will show the Top 20 filter and how often they are being inspect and hit. So, if your top filter accounting for 20% percent of inspection Flows but there are no filter hits is it something that needs to be inspected..

I Hope this helps..

They must not expose that info via SNMP in non-standard methods. You can create a Universal Device Poller or UnDP to pull these values if exposed via SNMP and display them in our dashboard, reports and for alerting. See here for a tutorial on it.

Thanks for the response. I will have a search through the UnDP to see if i can find any relevant pollers to use.

Thanks for this. i will give it a try. With regards to the Tipping Points themselves i am actually locked out the system due to politics. However i will pass this on as well, so thanks again for the tip.

Anyone able to pull the device serial # ?

I found a OID with a label of serialnumber, but it seems to be the # of the node in the entire setup - since we have redundancy.
