LEM Evaluation: How to stop test traffic?

byrona

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:

Click the Ops Center tab.
Click Stop 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.

phil3

Think of adding nodes as an outside-in sort of process. You will either install a LEM Agent on a computer (server, workstation, etc.), or you'll configure some other sort of device to log to the LEM appliance (a firewall, for example).

If you let me know what you have in mind, I will probably be able to link you to some instructions.

I want to be able to forward Syslog data to LEM from any syslog enabled device such as a network device or Linux server.

phil3

Here are a few examples of how to integrate devices with LEM:

Using the SolarWinds LEM Agent Installer for Linux (Agent-based integration)
Integrating VMware ESXi with SolarWinds LEM (Syslog-based integration)

You can also browse the following sections of the LEM KB for similar articles:

We don't have KB articles for everything we support; so, if you don't find what you're looking for in our KB, check the following page for a complete list of the devices we support:

LEM Supported Data Sources

Hope that helps!

So, I have SolarWinds Orion running right now and I have a bunch of Syslogs being sent to it. For testing LEM I would like to be able to forward the Syslogs from Orion to LEM, how would I make this work?

Hi, Byron. Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday.

At this point, I think it would be more time-effective if you were in touch with a Sales Engineer. If you've already touched base with someone in Sales, they can get you in touch with an Engineer. Otherwise, PM me your contact into and I'll touch base with one of the guys here in Post Falls.

Thanks again.
