Hello,
We have taken another crack at WHD for our help desk needs and would really like to get the asset management piece working. When we originally installed WHD a week or so ago we did a WMI scan on a network and found 20 or 30 workstations and laptops. It gave all details like serial number, mac address, ip, mfg, etc... We then got brave and decided to have our Solarwinds instance do a network discovery on a few other vlans and it found everything we were expecting. We then made a connection between WHD and Solarwinds via the NPM connection. It did not bring over mac address and some other info so we figured we would start fresh again. We deleted all of the assets via the Asset tab in the GUI. We then ran our original scan to find the 20 or 30 workstations/laptops and it says it discovered them and collected data on all of them but the Asset page is not populating the results.
After extensive research, someone mentioned that all the assets are still there they are just marked with a "1" in the deleted column and that we needed to update that column to "0" because the asset it found again is marked as deleted when it syncs with existing assets. Sooo we changed the value to "0" and all of our assets reappeared in the GUI. We purposely added a brand new laptop to the network and did a test. The discovery connection discovers the asset and collects data but never populates the Asset page.
We then preceded to run a delete command on the Asset table to start fresh with no assets in the table. Same results, it discovers the assets, collects data on them, but never populates the Asset table therefore the GUI Asset page never populates.
We have the embedded Postgres database.
Any ideas? We don't mind using Solarwinds to discover assets, we just need more info that what it's finding.
Thanks,
Jay
