Ok, here's my example - something I'm up against today. We just outsourced to a networking company and they are taking over all the SNMP monitoring. We want to keep an eye on them so, although we can't monitor SNMP anymore (contract) we still want to know if the node is up or down. As mentionned in a post from May, we use…

Grant, just to add.. I had searched and read your 2 previous threads (thanks for mentioning them again) about this, but I felt my issue was different because, for me, this only happens when there is some loss of communications between my poller and the affected nodes. In the past 2 weekends, we've had a DR test and a…

Grant, I'm trying to see if there could be an issue with firewalls? Is there a firewall between the nodes not responding and your poller? On my end, there are 2 firewalls and one pix between the nodes not responding and my poller. But, as mentionned in my OP, there are nodes, still working in the same subnet! Ex:…

I've been monitoring this thread because we have the same issue. Although what Solarwinds is reporting is true for the Physical Memory Used, we would like Orion to monitor what "-/+ buffers/cache:" reports with the "free" command.

I've had no success with another SNMP poller but, I was able to find out that, all my Linux servers are still responding to SNMP queries but none of the Win2K3 servers are returning any SNMP data. I tested 4 different subnets and they all behave the same. So, it looks like it might be Windows problems.. I'll concentrate on…

This is what I get. Pinging is still fine. When trying to "Validate SNMP" it just never works (unless there is a start/stop of the SNMP service on the server). Once that's done, Orion picks it up normally.

Thank you all for your answers. I'll check this out with my guys.

Appending "-Previous" (w/o the quotes) to variables is suppose to return the previous state before the trigger. Check out help on this here: www.solarwinds.com/.../wwhelp.htm EDIT: Oops.. found an old thread that states that -previous only works with "Basics Alerts"...

Thanks for adding to the thread! The dns thing could be your problem but I don't see how the dns would affect this on my end as I only use ip addresses when adding a host in the "Accept SNMP packets..." field and, right now, on the servers with the problem, there isn't any ip in that field.

I've used it successfully in the past but now, I get the same error: ERROR: Object variable or With block variable not set

I'd like to see it too - included in the package (I'm no access expert!) I just went through 64 nodes exporting total bytes transfered (tbt) for one week with a 6h tbt csv file and a 1 day tbt bitmap. It would have been much easier to have some king of function, preparing the graph (or csv file) once and tell it to go…

oops.. duplicate! I didn't think it worked the first time (ref)

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I have the same problem with v9.1. Anyone ever find out what is causing this and how to get it fixed? Thanks

Solarwinds have, in their Beta Tools section (for Registered users only) a "Port Scanner". You just have to enter the 1st and last ip address to scan and specify which port to scan (80 and or 8080) in your case. Ciao! Dom

I found that the old version (v5.1.37 Sept 2002) works much better in resolving ip addresses from the mac addresses. The new verion (v5.2.0 June 2003) gives me alot of mac addresses but returning almost no ip addresses. I can run both side-by-side and have very different results. I'll stick to the older version.. That was…

I found that the "Nightly Database Maintenance" does not work automatically at the specified period. Maybe I'm missing a configuration somewhere but I have to run it manually about once a month and it works fine (besides the fact that it is very long!) Ciao! Dom
