Greetings All. The last few years my job has been very SAM-heavy, with lots of Linux, Windows, Kubernetes script monitors. Now I have a requirement to build some Maps. Like network device maps with the Big Router connecting to some smaller routers, and access switches connecting below that. I actually know very little…
Hi All, While doing the Network Discovery for some servers DNS is resolving the FQDN but for other devices it is just resolving the server name but not FQDN, can anyone let me k now whats the issue i am facing here. let me know if you need any more details for the same Thanks in advance
Hi there, I'm new to NPM and looking through documentation to find some best practice when it comes to monitoring switches. I have a largely nortel ERS 5500 network and thought i would start by monitoring uplinks only. One of the issues is that the Sonar Discovery wizard picks everything up except the port type. I have to…
By Paul Parker, SolarWinds Federal & National Government Chief Technologist Agencies are becoming far more proactive in their efforts to combat threats, as evidenced by the Department of Defense’s Comply-to-Connect and the Department of Homeland Security’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation programs. To develop and…
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) provides the easy-to-use Network Sonar Wizard to direct you in discovering devices on your network. Before using the Network Sonar Wizard, consider the following points about network discovery in NPM: * Discovery does not add devices that are already in your database. Network…
Here is a snippet from my DiscoveryResultsDump.txt in Debug mode. This device was not added and failed. The only thing I see is "D IcmpProbe - Disabled" Which I went to the polling engine that ran this sonar discovery and was able to ping the device. The community string was correct, so I am baffled on why I had such a…
As mentioned in previous posts Part I and Part II, I want to now continue to go a little deeper into a few of the steps outlined in 's great white paper, "How to Create the Ultimate Network Management Dashboard", that we've got up on our SolarWinds Resource Center. As a review, 's white paper gives a brief rundown of the…
I am running Network Discovery for a subnet, different than solarwinds IP, but Network Discovery Manger does not discover any nodes,even though the subnet exists.. Is there a log where I can see why it doesn't not find anything, it will help in troubleshooting.
Hi All, I have Orion polling hundreds of Cisco ADSL routers (877s, 1801s, etc.) and when discorvering the devices the speed levels of the ATM interfaces only takes the transmit speed and uses the same speed on the receive speed. Manually changing this is a tedious task. Is there a way to sort out the system to correctly…
I have a customer who, for reasons not very clear, wants to discover network elements using traps from the devices. The device would send a trap, the management system would see that this trap was from an unknown device and so would treat it as discovered. I have to admit to not being very familiar with the Orion tools,…
