Yeah, I drank that cool-aid back in 2007-2008, but have not had to use it. It was good background information though.

For those Government Folks CISSP is the end all be all of anything IT ((( raising the B.S. Flag ))) CompTIA Security+ CompTIA CASP Vendor Cert: Cisco, VMWare, Juniper, Brocade, Solarwinds Depends on the job and requirements.

Having the same issue. This is what I got from Support thus far, but have not been able to get a resolution to the problem. Going through again to see if I missed anything. Step 1. Go to DNS and DHCP management. Then edit every DHCP and DNS server one by one and test the credential. Check if the results would not give…

I would recommend get a support contract, because you do not want to miss the updates and upgrades. 

How is your routing? Loops? It is to a Loopback, Vlan or Physical Interface? How are you monitoring? ICMP or SNMP?

adriane27 Are you devices configured to support SSH? SCP?

fazl-e-azeem​, I am not the best SQL coder but will look into it. It may take me a few days but will see what I can get done. Thanks,

When using the config block starting selection, I have found that using the below works very well. In the Block: Line 1 ---- interface (Ten|Giga|Fast)Ethernet1/0/(0|1|2|3|4|5|6) Line 2 ---- You can expand or retract upon this using the "( )". But I have been able to capture all my interfaces for standard configurations.…

I was able to fix this issue by running the configuration wizard. This issue must have arisen when I had to clear NCMPolicyCache. Thanks,

With some use of Regular expression coding the issue could be resolved. Also, you can use the "Advanced Config Search" and select parts of the config to start and finish from.

Ok, so you are looking for several different rules violations here. 1. All physical ports (Fastethernet, Ethernet, GigabitEthernet, and Ten GigabitEthernet ports configured with the following: Violation if port is not configured with port-security -- do you need the ports to allow a single mac address -- what about trunk…

cnorborg‌ you make some very good points and are pretty good at using Regular Expressions. For anyone using the Compliance Reports it is always good to check the code prior to usage. If there is a better way to perform the function we always have thwack to pass the knowledge to the next person and thus making the product…

makecrazy‌ you may have to go to the policy itself and select either vendor = cisco or all nodes. 

makecrazy What are the parameters governing your report? As you know there are various Cisco CLI commands to configure SSH? 

Hey, Your always tops in my book!

Yes, that will be an issue. The Config Management DB was merged into the Core DB a few versions ago. 2 courses of action: 1. Open a ticket with support. They will have to work their SQL Magic if possible. 2. Start from Scratch. Your nodes should be in the new database, but will may have to verify the NCM portion of the…

Awesome, The previous one is a great resource for ideas and such. Show us a NOC view and get 500 thwack points! This is the old Map contest.

Yes there is and it is fairly easy to setup.

I have been using Solarwinds Products since 1999. Over the years, it was just as a user and the Toolset. In 2008, when the STIGs came a requirement, I wanted to get out of having to sit with the Audit team for 3 weeks every 4 months. I had other duties to attend to and mission to complete. So I looked for a better…

it is also possible to review the Database manager for this variable and cancel/clear this condition. 

SUCCESS!!!!!! I used my FQDN in the webconsole settings and in the Advanced Configuration Window. Now on to other packages.

When I do a "test connection" on the website from within IIS, I get the following error. (Warning) Authorization: Cannot verify access to path (f:\Inetpub\solarwinds\documentation)

LokiR​, Thanks for your help. Couple Questions: 1. On your first graphic you seem to be using the default Solarwinds Orion Application Pool but using the /documentation as the physical path for the Solarwinds Application. 2. Are there suppose to be separate Application Pools and Websites? I have all the files as you have…

Just trying to get one of them to work. Focusing on NPM.... Windows 2012R2 1. Extracted the contents of the file int F:\inetpub\SolarWinds. Contents folder was named OrionLocalHelp. 2. Copied the bin folder from F:\inetpub\solarWinds\ui\bin into F:\inetpub\SolarWinds\documentation\bin folder. Had to create the folder…

I am interested in this topic as I had quite a few shares before the buyout and look to reinvest. Hopefully the additional revenue from the IPO will bolster further development. Maybe Solarwinds will offer Premeir Professional Services like Cisco Systems does. I know several DoD Organizations would bring on Solarwinds…

Anyone know if SW is going to build in more process and SQL resiliency into the next release?

Try using GNS3 or Cisco Virl. These are good simulators to use with your Solarwinds Network Products.

goodzhere​ may have a script or two to assist with this one. 

Have you tried to upgrade to NPM 11.5.3 first, then move up to 12 after all other modules are updated? Secondly, How is your server functioning? How old is the image on that server? Is the Server Virtualized? You may want to investigate the option of installing NPM 12 on a fresh imaged server and migrate the database. I…

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
