Hello Everyone, I would like the ability to edit node names. Some of our nodes are returning ip addresses or ".gateway" and the ability to correctly name them would be nice.
i am running Orion NPM 9.5 SP2. I am just tasked with changing node names for 100s od devices. The current names are not very logical. Once the device name is changed, i see that the sys-name is updated via snmp but the "node name" does not change. I read somewhere that if I just delete the nade name, the system will…
Please provide the abilitiy to name nodes in the LEM console. At present node names are limited based on syslog data or the LEM agent. It would be nice to be able to overwrite these options in the LEM website instead of needing to update DNS (which doesn't always work) Re: Node name in LEM -ZackM Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds…
All, I'm a recovering HP OV/Ciscoworks addict. I guess you could say I saw the light... Anyhow being new to Solarwinds, I was wondering how NPM determines teh node name? If SNMP is running, it apparently uses the sysname. But if it can't retrieve SNMP data, it uses the IP. What I would like to use is the DNS short name…
I had a device being monitored with name A. The router itself had its name changed from A to B. I hit the rediscovery button on the nodes detail page and the name stayed at A. Should this change after a rediscovery or do I need to inventory the box from NCM? Or is my re-discovery button broken?
Hi, I'd like to know if it is possible to update multiple Node Names without using SQL, I mean, is it possible to do it with a spreadsheet, just like importing custom properties? Thanks, Bira
I have a delimea and would like to hear what others have done. I have set up Application Monitor Templates and then customized those templates for each node I am monitoring. The modified Application Monitor then includes the hostname of the node. Then I created advanced alerts to trigger based on certain conditions or…
We are looking to create three regional (Chicago, London, Tokyo) NPM server instances which will have individual db's attached and then all 3 coming back towards Miami and culminating in an EOC db. So from the remote db's can we add a same "core" network device into each individual regions' NPMs product instance and then…
I am looking for a method to rename nodes to their system name. Currently the node name is incorrect and the system name is correct. I understand that opening that Node in System Manager, Deleting out the Node Name at top of screen and pressing APPLY. This will Update the Device Name with the SYSTEM Name. This seems very…
Hello, I was hopeing that someone at Solarwinds would pickup on this and advise if Orion can do it. From windows batchfile programming, it is valid as my batch file works great when I run it from the windows command line ~ placing the nodename in the command line and launching the batchfile. Again, I have a working batch…
