Hey everyone, I started to look into dependenices, and it appears all of our auto generated dependencies tend to be along the switch/router/firewall side of things. Has anyone had any luck with dependencies and virtual machines? Ideally the parent object would be a cluster or an individual host (test environment, non-ha…
Suresh, My apologies for the delay on getting this answer back to you on the Wireless APs. Unfortunately, I was able to confirm that the software does not have a built-in dependency for wireless APs to their controllers. I will take this information as a feature request, and recommend that you add it as a feature request…
Hi everyone. I'm facing an annoying issue: in a dependency that has an ICMP node as a child object, when the parent object alerts, the child object doesn't turn from down to unreachable status. Even when the child object is a group and within this group there is an ICPM node, the status remains as down (node's status,…
At the risk of being presumptuous, I thought it might be valuable to condense some of the knowledge that has been disseminated so far regarding the great new feature in Orion NPM version 10.1 - Groups and Dependencies. It is easy to see that this topic will be a source of much discussion for the foreseeable future, so how…
It would be great if the Dependencies could automatically detect and suppress packet loss alerts related to Parent Outage. It's smart enough to know to put the children nodes in unmanaged state to stop the "node down" alerts but we still get all the packet loss alerts for each child node behind the parent that is down.
I know there are discussions on this matter but they all seem outdated. I was hoping to see what people are doing these days to stop the billion packet loss alerts that come in for every single child node during a site outage. I currently have manually set up all my dependencies and while I do not get the billion "node is…
We have a bunch of remote sites we monitor, each site goes: ISP router > Palo Alto firewall > core switch > secondary switches > servers For each site, I setup a dependency with the PAN firewall node as the parent, and a group containing all remaining nodes (switches + servers) as the child. In case the core switch fails,…
Hi All. Wondering if anyone has seen this if it is a bug or something else? I've set up dependencies, groups, and alerts. Where I have the router as the parent and the switches below are the child (and in a group). If router is down then the switches report as unreachable, and I receive an alert only for the router. Seems…
Hi Folks, I'm new to Thwack and NPM. I have 60+ physical offices on my network, and I have established a dependency for each site where the site's WAN Router is the parent to a child group containing various nodes. Each child group contains a site's Video Conference node in addition to other nodes. I have a single UP/DOWN…
Let's face it; manually creating dependencies to support "root cause" type alerting is a painful and time-consuming task. The data required to "automagically" create dependencies between network objects exists in topo discovery, so why not take the next step and use it to support more intelligent alerting? Competitive…
