At specific times i.e 12 am and 12pm respectively during the day, nodes added unto the dashboard turn red (i.e states as down) but when you ping from cmd it responds and can log onto the devices. I need help with possible solutions.
Hey Thwacksters! This report is handy, if you work with an Orion instance which manages client workstations. In many such environments, there is invariably a high turnover of equipment. It can quickly become difficult to work out which nodes have just gone down, and which ones have been down for a while, if there is a…
Hi all, I've been having a persistent issue within Solarwinds. Our company has a main facility as well as a number of remote facilities. A few times each week (usually in the morning) Solarwinds will show that (mostly) all of the Cisco 3700 series switches are down at one of our non primary locations. I can still ping…
At first I had setup an alert to trigger when the uplink on each switch would go down, but I kept getting false alerts. I had used a complex trigger. I kept getting false alerts. I doubled check the switch and logging. Then SW recommended I change the trigger to a simple one and I did. I got the same results. I have edited…
Hi Folks, I have a weird problem. NPM shows device status warning but the physical devise is down. I have read a lot about Polling engine and the settings, but tuning the engine did not solve it. Two examples: A firewall is up and running. Then we take off that firewall (turned off) to test something. In Orion the firewall…
We a reoccurring situation where a specific node is being reported down by NPM even though it isn't. The node is one of 2 Checkpoint firewalls recently installed, both located behind another firewall. It only occurs on one of the Checkpoints but not the other. While this doesn't happen everyday, when it does happen it…
Good afternoon all, I'd like to start by saying that not only am I new to solarwinds but also networking in general so please excuse me if I miss something obvious or am not providing adequate information! My company is using NPM (11.0.1) to monitor 30+ devices, mostly all cisco. All of them are showing as up except for…
I'm trying to create a alert for whenever a Windows node is down (aka Red), but am having some issues. Below is the simple trigger we are using, but it doesn't work. I don't think Node Status is returning the proper value. Trigger Condition Property to monitor: APM: Hardware Vendor is equal to Windows Node Status is equal…
Hello, Our current Orion Website has the resource "Down Nodes" right at the top left of the page. Does anyone know of a way, in SQL perhaps, to count up the number of nodes and include that dynamic number within the resource? For example, I have included a snipet of the resource. I'd like for Orion to be able to tell me…
Hi there, I am fairly new to Orion and am looking to create a special e-mail alert that is only triggered for a specific server. I have done some research with no luck so far but the reason I am doing this is if our exchange server goes down NPM obviously wouldn't send an alert. If I add a second trigger action to send…
