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…
A colleague used the ip range instead of network subnet option in Sonar Discovery... 10.x.x.x to 255.255.255.224 is a really long range to scan. Cancelling the job does not to the job... I have a neverending spinning wheel... Restarting the services or the server did not do the job... As seen here as well: Network Sonar…
For manual Sonar discoveries, can we navigate to custom property editing for multiple nodes (similar to what you see when you select multiple nodes from the manage nodes page and click edit) after the discovery of the nodes? It would make sense to package that into the end of the process instead of simply going to it…
Hey Thwack! Newbie here with a first post! Scenario: I have an MPLS mesh network connecting 21 satellite locations, each of which have a /24 management network for network devices. I currently do not have a separate polling engine at each site (should I? Separate discussion...). Question: My questions is, would it be…
If I create a scheduled sonar discovery job with multiple /24 networks does it scan all of those networks simultaneously or one after the other?
I'm using Sonar for network discovery, have input all the ip ranges or subnets for the areas of our network I want to scan, and I'm seeing during the scan it's scanning IP's I've not setup for that scan. At first I thought maybe it's doing this for whatever reason but the scan has been running much longer than I imagine it…
Currently I have a few strings used for discovering nodes through Sonar discovery setup. Currently, if it discovers a AIX box it's polling minimal information as the strings I'm using aren't pulling information and it's only polling with ICMP. Is there a community string I can use to poll the information on AIX nodes? If…
I ran into some odd behavior today when attempting to import nodes via Sonar discovery from a list. I had a list of 43 nodes, all either Linux or Solaris nodes. The Sonar discovery I used has two SNMP strings in it. The one that applies to these particular nodes is the first string in the list. On the first pass, 28 of the…
Is there a way we can change this behavior to reflect the username of the account that is actually adding the node(s)? I have a few reports that track user activity for node and interface management (adds/deletes), but this only seems to be accurate for nodes/interfaces added individually. When a user adds a range of new…
Dear Thwacksters, Have you ever wondered if SolarWinds would tell you which nodes it was able to contact and the ones it was not able to contact based on the list you gave it to find. I always have to create an excel report and place the original IP/ DNS list and run a VLOOKUP to find which nodes SolarWinds was not able to…
