Those that have been part of the Thwack Community a while may be familiar with the long running Tell us your "Unknown" devices! thread which had been active since 2007. That thread had become too unwieldy, and most of the user submissions had been implemented many years ago. I recently reviewed each and every…
This thread had become too unwieldy at 78 pages in length, spanning across a decade, where most of the submissions had been implemented many years ago. I recently reviewed each and every posting in this thread, verified what had been implemented in-product, and which had not as yet been. I then logged any outstanding…
I'm wondering how to dictate what "MachineType" Orion sees a node as. I have created some "ping test points" and would like to have the MachineType show up as that. If I change the field in SQL, Orion overwirtes it. Where does it grab that from. The object was created as "ping only", not SNMP in NPM, so I can't see it…
Look at the thread for the 'tell us your unknown devices' there are over 800 posts there with customers telling SW their unknown devices. It's time (and more) for there to be a way to administratively specify the sysObjectID -> Vendor and MachineType mappings Once this is done then we will have somewhere to also add other…
I understand where the UNKNOWN comes from, ping managed devices as opposed to SNMP capable devices. I would like to know if there's a way to change the UNKNOWN catagory header to read NONSNMP or some such. Has more to do with politics than technical excellence. Thanks Much
In my last post, I spoke about different ways to Alert in NPM, pairing multiple features together to create powerful ways to create granular alerts and to really reduce on alerting noise. Well, that’s all well and good in a perfect world, where all of your devices are reporting the correct data – but what can you do if…
Hi, Does anyone know why all the devices under the All Nodes/Unknown group show up as Wireless Autonomous AP when you click on them. For example, I add a HP thin client PC as ICMP only and when you go to Node Details it says Wireless Autonomous AP at the top of the screen and further down the screen it complains it has…
Hello, i began yesterday with NPM. I made discovery and found all my network, GOOD. But only one machine as shown like Windows XP installed, all others machines and servers are shown like unknown. How i can revert this? Have some place to put a windows authentication or dont? Mine Switches, hardphones, ESX are correct but…
We are experiencing quite a few interface unknown's for multiple devices and device types. The last part of each of the unknown message states "Interface Polling stopped. Could not remap interface. Check ifDescription change." The majority of these alerts are from Windows 2003 and 2008 r2 servers Packet Scheduler Miniports…
I have a Juniper SSG5 that randomly shows interface bgroup0 in unknow state. The only way clear it is to restart all the services for Orion. I tried to rediscover the device.... no help. When I listed resources, the interface shows green. Any one with some ideas as to why this happens and how to correct it?? Orion NPM v9.1
