Hello all. Still pretty new to this Orion alerting however, running into an issue with BGP neighbors alerting after they shut down the interface. I'm assuming this is because the config for the BGP neighbor is left in an idle state and the interface was only shut down. If the config for the BGP neighbor was removed from…
We would like to have a monitor for the amount of BGP Routes a device has. We have recently had devices where the Neighbor stays up but isn't sending routes, so the default neighbor polling didn't notify/alert that there was an issue.
Would like to see in NPM, the ability to discover *neighbors* by common protocols like CDP, LLDP, BGP, EIGRP Furthermore, once a discovery job is complete, it would be great if the newly discovered devices (those not already managed by Solarwinds), would be: 1) automatically added to NPM (and optionally NCM) or 2) placed…
There's a configuration for Neighbor Scanning on the subnet. In the admin guide, it defines this as: Neighbor Scanning will attempt to retrieve the status of a device that may not be responding to ICMP by scanning the ARP table of a neighbor router to determine what IP addresses are active. It is disabled by default. This…
We are using NPM 11.0.1 monitoring OSPF neighbor events on our Cisco equipment. Several times now this event was logged: 12/5/2014 2:22 AM The neighbor 10.225.3.198 on Node ourhost.com went down. When checking the switch for corresponding neighbor events on that date and time, none were found. Why is this alert being…
How do I create a Route Neighbor Status change email alert? I am setting this up with Property to Monitor: Routing Neighbors. However, I am not sure what Property to use (Neighbor ID, Neighbor IP, Orion Status, Is Missing, DisplayName, Protocol ID), with the condition has changed. Then to monitor all devices, will I select…
I'm trying to figure out why my LLDP data isn't being utilized by NPM. I have Cisco L3 switches (Catalyst 3560E) with one or more rings of Moxa L2 switches (EDS-510A-3SFP) connected. LLDP is enabled on all L3 and L2 switches. The NPM Network Topology on the node details page for any Moxa switch shows only connections to…
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is an adaptive, interior gateway routing protocol for Internet Protocol (IP) networks. It routes IP packets within a single independent system, detecting changes such as link failures. OSPF determines the shortest path around these failures for each route. Avery important thing to important…
How can I create a neighbor down alert that displays the node name and/or description of the neighbor that has gone down? Out of all of the routing neighbor variables only NeighborIP is the closet to identifying the actual node, but then I have to memorize which nodes have which IPs. I'm looking for a alert that would read…
We have several subnets that use static addresses with "reserved" entries in MS DHCP. When IPAM reports the Last Response date on the Manage Subnets and IP Addresses page, it always shows the current date since it saw the IP in DHCP. However, people forget to remove unused address reservations from DHCP. What I need to…
