as far as I know, only UBNT Edge Switches have SNMP-Trap capability. the UniFi series can only be polled via SNMP (with Orion or ipMonitor)

Alright so I checked with my client today. For "Call Metrics" we set up a FTP Server on a separate Server and let all CUCMs forward the CDRs to that FTP and let VNQM gather those, we used "Filezilla" We also followed the already mentioned Tech Article. and this one right here:…

As far as I know only one Config wizard can run at a time. This might have changed in 2020.2. But I would still say it’s in sequence i have mostly worked with the centralized update more recently an I have not paid attention if the centralized installer runs the wizards simultaneously or in sequence.

Did you follow this article?https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Configure-Cisco-Call-Manager-for-VNQM?language=en_US did you configure a FTP server for your call logs?

@"the_ben_keen"is correct, which OS Version (Home / Pro / ...) is used? What's the environemt. If you like to continue in German, we can do that as well. Kein Problem I just installed it on my WIN10 Pro Version 2004 Build 19041.388 without issues.

I think due to the global circumstances, the actual „announcement“ got delayed. Also there is Thwack-Camp around the corner (did you already sign up?) That takes a lot of resources internally. I am sure @"KMSigma.SWI" is preparing the announcement soon, and it will be released in the near future.

You might want to consider upgrading your Orion Installation as well. 6.5 is a rather „older“ version. I believe it relies on platform 2017.3 we are currently on 2020.2 Also check here if the SMI/S Settings on your NetApp might have changed because of the upgrade…

My suggestion is: get a solarwinds implementation partner involved. The environment seems a bit too large to rely on „migration-steps collected in a forum“. If you‘ve inherited the system and never upgraded it yourself, I strongly recommend get some help from experienced partners. Unfortunately I believe I am not located…

Could you give some more info what your actual challenge is? From my perspective I would adjust all my alerts to look for a custom property (e.g. Alert_Enabled) that needs to be true to fire the alert. Keep in mind, an alert is just a SQL Query and it fires on those devices that fit your "Where Clause" With your…

Forgot to consider your NTA Question, sorry. Yes you can set up a new NTA Only SQL Server and put the NTA Database there. Keep in mind you will lose historical Data as there is no way to convert the old fastbit NTA data to SQL. you can also use this Server for the new Syslog & Trap management. It also relies on the new SQL…

I believe you are talking about a custom property on a subnet. click on settings - all settings - manage custom properties add a new custom property and select the scope to be on a ipam subnet (Or group, I can’t remember the wording) hope that helps

Could you elaborate a bit what you are trying to achieve? My first thought is “wishful thinking” but I am not sure if I fully understand your request. cheers

I am almost certain that this is not related to the Orion Servers itself but to some devices being monitored. The system requirements here https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/orionplatform/Content/Core-Orion-Requirements-sw1916.htm clearly indicate that you need to have Server 2016 or 2019 for the Orion…

I think this is a general setting, not based on individual accounts Check the thread here https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/Web-Help-Desk-Discussions/WHD-logout-automatically/m-p/149192

do you have a valid license installed? A valid trial is also OK. Non functional syslog and trap services usually indicate an unlicensed install. As for the other error: VIM is part of NPM, so this could be an error you can ignore.

What did you expect CLI polling does? It is downloading the config to show you the ACLs... and more

I‘d use a custom property for Prod/Pre-Prod you can fill this via the alerting engine or manually. How would you „read“ this from a website? Is this maybe some form of CMDB where this info resides?

Here’s a link to the uninstall procedure https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Perform-a-fresh-Orion-installation-on-the-same-Windows-Server

My suggestion would be uninstall everything and reinstall IPAM only. Had a similar thing with a customer last week. They had UDT licensed but also NPM and NCM installed. However, having such an old install, you can also start from scratch. There are many great solarwinds consultants around the world, maybe you want some…

Agents can be a PITA... unless there are good reasons to use them I advise my customers to use agentless polling. If this is not an option because you need QoE or NetPath from those devices or the Firewall guys don’t want to open ports for WMI Polling, you should be very careful with each update of Orion. Manage your…

1) only all or nothing 2) by default it's not possible However I have a solution for you: Create a custom node property: (e.g. CP_Alert_Enabled) and set it to "true" where you want alerts Copy the default alert and add as condition "CP_Alert_Enabled = true" Disable the default alert and only use your custom alert

you can use an alias in those fields, when a Netbios Name is essential, it will update the IP field should automagically update when you restart the services (or run the config wizard...had that discussion in another thread but I haven't tested yet.)

Do you want to install the SDK components via Chocolatey and you have issues installing the SDK or did you already install the SDK and you have issues with your scripts, from your explanation this is not clear to me.

Is there any CLI command to show the whole config? If yes you can build a device template to tell NCM what it needs to do. Is there a way to manually back up the config from the switch? Maybe we can start from there.

What has changed that the backup stopped? Can you share error messages or screenshots? If you need to build device templates it’s pretty straight forward. You need to know the commands that you would enter in a ssh session to display the config. But let’s first troubleshoot the basics

Are you using the Network Discovery feature (Settings -> Network Discovery)? Maybe your automatic import settings are not as you might want them to be? Or when you add the nodes manually, how are you selecting the interfaces?

As long as there is one scalability license installed and correctly assigned you should not have any issues. I have 1 or 2 clients that also have some expired trial licenses sitting in their license store and it doesn’t impact the system.

Orion SDK/API and PowerCLI are your friends here. Create a custom property, create a script that runs against your VCenterband grabs that info to fill the Custom property. I have done that with a HyperV cluster at one of my clients. They wanted the comments of the Machines in Orion.

As the QNAP doesn’t have SMI/S Support you can monitor it with NPM‘s/SAM‘s SNMP Functionality only. Cheers

How many config versions are you keeping? Do you regularly run maintenance on the SQL-Database? I have 3 similar sized NCM instances that do not show the issues.
