I tried that and I get the same result.

Not a problem at all I could not resist taking a stab at you guys! You are very welcome!

I do have the auto add option enabled. I went and managed a few subinterfaces I had unmanged just as a test and they show up in netflow. I just cannot get the main WAN interfaces to show. In both caes they are POS OC3 interfaces.

Mindy, thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my concerns. I look forward to furture improvments to support. I know you guys are improving things as time goes on I have seen a difference within the last year and I hope that continues.

Like I mentioned there is a built in alert (Alert me when a node reboots) for a node rebooting vs just going down I would think that one would do what you are talking about.

For me its a 2 part deal. The first is that for a company who might have to do this frequently the number of steps and time involved to do 1 node is not feasible. If I have 30 sites with 10 nodes each this would take forever. And if these change frequently it becomes a total mess from what I understand. Secondly, and this…

I will certainly give that a shot thanks for sharing that. However this is one of those times I think this should be a canned feature and I should not have go through manual steps. I have a lot of PRIs.

That is why I restated my thoughts. I personaly rather see Orion cover the areas it is going to cover very thoroughly and deeply rather than it be more watered down where more manufacturers and models are covered but only surface deep.

Just my 2 cents but I think there is an easier way to do this which is via syslog and syslog alerts. I do this exact thing with all my routers and chassis switches. This is good not for just PS alerts but anything that goes on that the chassis alerts as critical which can be any of a number of things that you need to know…

OK I just tried this and I have to say its not at all a good solution. Yes you can import subnets en mass but you cannot really. Sure you can pull them in but one, you cannot assign a subnet mask to it so how IPAM knows what the subnet is I am not sure unless it tries to fall on the 0 as a marker. Secondly, you have to…

I had another thought about this. IF the internet radio site was just 1IP or a range you could add it to address groups and monitor it that way

Have you turned off node status?

You should throughly test new features and not release them till they are ready. This new feature issue is becoming a common theme.

We have a few thousand Cisco devices out there what we do not have proper inventory of and we have an asset management push on. So we will be using NCM to collect data for all the devices and run reports giving us information like model, serial, IOS version etc. We will take it as far as getting reports of all cards in…

You must have the interface with the actual service-policy in netflow. That interface only will show the stats.

May not be your issue but you have to add the interface where the service policy is to NTA. So your QOS interface and your netflow interface may be 2 different ones which means they both have to be added. For example if you use frame-relay and have your flows coming from a subinterface but the service policy is on the…

Also something the keep in mind is the perceived speed of the system doing anything on the interface will be most dependent on your SQL box. The load on the main box will deal with polling and job completion. So faster SQL = better visible speed Faster Main box = less chance of missed polls

Actually I need both. A report for just chassis's and then one for just blades/parts. Both would be used for Smartnet but also general inventory. So when asset management comes downstairs to us and says hey where is this part and I all have is the serial, I will know right where it's at and what it is. The report you…

AWESOME THANKS !

GaryP, For 30,000 elements you will need 3-4 pollers in my experience. SW says to cut off each poller at about 8k elements which I think is a good number. On Dual quad core boxes I noticed that they started to really suffer at about 10k elements. We moved the web server to another box because it is cheap (something like a…

No I totally agree with that. And that covers my second point about having devices that will work closely with Orion. But my second point was that SW could make extra cash if they had their own. Which was basically me trying to hold a carrot out in front in the hopes of solving a problem of mine long term :P

I was just repeating what I had been told in the past but I will consider myself informed.

From what I understand SW does not cache anything. Another words as soon as a poller processes something or gets a newflow (which is pretty constantly) it sends the data. So it is basically sending a million tiny writes to the DB wasting a lot of overhead instead of say caching all the writes for a small amount of time and…

No I disagree. It's indeed a SolarWinds problem. I have a need, Windows may have the limitation, SolarWinds has the ball in their court to fulfill my need if they choose to address it.

How many CPUs and how many cores on them? I have 2 pollers currently 1 is the main box and it is taxed a good bit but the secondary poller which polls for all the network devices is slammed. It has abour 7000 elements but they are 3/4 interfaces so there is a lot of polling going on.

My ticket number is below. 276071

Yes we do. Can you expound on that please?

Just my 2 cents. But I vote it does not change from the way it is. Ping is a very simple and reliable way to determine UP/DOWN, ICMP is very basic and reliable and part of the protocol stack where SNMP is technically in the application layer. So if ping fails you know that on not even basic network functionality is there…

How can SW support staff not post on this thread. Seriously guys you need to pay more attention here. I mean this is a lost sale if someone does not contact this guy.

I would like to see it added, I think it could be more effcient and effective then syslog.
