Polling for UpTime

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to update our use of SolarWinds at the moment, and I've hit a massive road block when it comes to monitoring the system uptime on a view and a report.

We have it on other views using a Universal Device Poller and it works just fine, outputs the uptime in days as a decimal, however when I am trying to do it for these specific nodes it just has a blank table.

I've added another node to the view which is successfully polled in other views and that one seems to work fine, however the others don't. In fact, none of the routers do.

Therefore I'm not sure if there's more configuration that needs to be done to get them showing or if it just can't be done this way for routers?

You can see from the screenshot the devices I've included in the view (and have included them to be used in the poller) but only one is showing in the table.

In case you can't tell I've only just started using SolarWinds last week so struggling a little bit!

Thank you in advance,

Sam

I got it working!!

Thank you so much for your help, it was the pollers I screen shot above which were the issue, the one shown I had to untick and retick them both and then none of the other routers had them ticked so had to go to each router individually and activate them.

All working fine now!

Thank you!

I've just been looking around at what we're actually polling for for these routers and it looks like we're already actually polling for uptime .. it's just not showing up in the UnDP Top XX resource in the views.. So I don't really know where to go from here, it says it's polling for exactly the same stuff as the node while it is coming up for, but it's still not working for ANY of the routers in the network.

I can't create a new poller for Node Details as we already have one which polls for all the information possible - we do get information for the last time the node was booted, however there isn't a way to convert this into actual uptime.

Because you can only have one poller for node details I can't find a way to add system uptime onto this as we already poll for all the information possible?
