Yes, all pollers were upgraded and the configuations wizards ran with no errors.

Why am I so bad at searching the knowledge base! Like I am in a room with a bunch of doorknobs and no thumbs to speak of. That being said, I would be curious to know what switchValue=activityTracing AND propagateActivity=true does. If anyone knows.

Will do Peter, that case number is #774933 -b

For my environment I would say yes, the exact setup where we were effected was 6500's running VSS sup-720 on either 12.2 SXJ4 or SXI8, 16 port 10 gig blades(ws-x6716-10ge) with the X2 gbics. its been 20 days and the problem has not resurfaced for me.

I am still playing with this, but I am curious if anyone here knows what any one OID would return if its been "cutdown"? Obviously it would have to be a value that dint have a current value "N/A", but I am just curious that even if a OID was cutdown it seems like the hardware monitor is still going to try and hit those…

If it is a bug then I think it would be best for Solarwinds to present it to Cisco themselves, otherwise it will take thousands and thousands of TAC calls from Cisco customers before they even consider patching it.

Not here, just v2.

We have the same thing here since 10.4, all of our 65k's that have active 10gig transceivers are showing this. This is being caused by GBICs that support DOM, or Digital Optical Monitoring. The thresholds for DOM are in hardware and can not be modified. Most of my DOM related metrics, now showing in NPM as power events…

**nevermind, I just realized how dumb of a question that was.

Useful, thank you.

Id still love to see the ability to handle non-option 60/61 items better, especially when using non-windows DHCP servers(cisco). Having to make reservations in two places =

Nope, that's pretty much what I was looking for. If I have a data flow going to a disreputable destination I want to know about it.

Wait..... what!? IP Reputation!!! Happy day! 

Technically its two, 1000 points? 

Your Screenshot reproduced, device shown is a Windows SQL Server using WMI to poll network card info. Notice that the NTA resource does not populate data because this is not a Cisco device.

First, I would use WMI for your windows machines, not SNMP. You get better drive data and Microsoft recently announced the "depreciation" of SNMP in their products moving forward. I would also recommend creating a separate monitoring account on your domain for this singular purpose. This would be an account that has…

WPM has visual indicators for this, I would love to see this in NPM.

Seems to vary from my point of view, I've had upgrades take 30 minutes and i have had upgrade take 5 minutes. I tend to be fairly aggressive though with my upgrades so when I do I am not installing multiple patches at a time.

*edit For anyone who stumbles across this thread, the "Wireless Access Point" poller is not compatible with WLC (per support) and should not be used. If you want to poll WAPs from WLC you have to use the Wireless Heat Maps poller instead. Personally I think the naming convention of these pollers is garbage.

Can't this be done in the "Email/Page Action" under the "Alert Escalation" by setting the "Execute this Action repeatedly while the Alert is Triggerd" then setting your "Execute this Action repeatedly every" X Day? I might be wrong but I think that quiets the alert(or more accurately the trigger action) for whatever that…

I've only had broken WMI problems a handful of times, usually when an in house dev has mucked with the OS. But I stumbled across this when we first bought Orion and I dropped it into my evernote after it worked. Hope it helps, its helped me.…

Its a strange thing, it doesn't repeat easily so reproducing it is difficult. I tried your method twice and it works. I'll keep an eye on it.

So in the case of a windows event log item you basically want the message body of the event yes? If that is correct have you tried the $[ComponentMessage} from the "APM: Component" category?

What you describe is entirely possible using nested maps or the parent/child/grandchild model, I've made many maps this way. You can put maps into other maps. Its fairly straightforward, start at the bottom and work your way up. Lets say you split them up into 1 site, and then 1 region, and each region could have say 5-10…

Assuming per interface, it depends on what specifics you are looking for. If I have a 100meg link I don't usually like to know only how much data *right now* is filling up that interface. I want to know %used, Bytes/sec, and packets/sec, and I want to know both directions and averages. So for bandwidth I use a custom tab…

Report or Resource? With report I use the "Average and Peak Traffic Rates - Last X" but you need to copy and edit it in report writer to be the time frame you want and to filter it to specific nodes or interfaces. By itself if you have even a slightly large environment gets out of hand really quick. From a resource point…

No, but I want to. We have a massive VPN deployment, larger than any I have ever seen. Its on my list of things to do.

Ours is very similar to others, it seemed people at my company didn't really use Orion when there were too many resources on one page. And then the resources ran 2-6 pages down. Messy. So broke it all out in Tabs with the idea that in *most* cases its only one page deep, simple and effective. Of course an interface listing…

Me three! Actually I dont think its possible without advanced SQL in NCM's current form. All the comparison reports seem to be manually driven.

So I made a bogus group of 40 characters, tried to put it in orion, failed. Then 39. Then 38. The magic number seems to be 32 and this includes the windows domain name and a backslash. I am going to have support verify this, and if its truly the case..... feature request. b-
