The Juniper OS has a way to type in a command and have it show the output in XML and rpc format. So if I want to force a connection ( terminal ) to be logged out, Junos says it should look like this. I am telling it to logout the user using the serial interface, which is my connection directly on the switch console port,…

Is there a doc that explains the syntax of the URL line? I've been experimenting with what needs to be in the URL line and what needs to be in the "Body to Post" box without success. Here is the command I'm trying to replicate, for testing in a GUI that does work:

That's what I was thinking. I'll do some remove and rescans. 

What I'm not fond of, in the cURL line, is that it will show the username/password pair in simple text as part of the URL. There is a section below the URL line or the body to have a credential, on the screen in SW. I don't know if that would improve things, as the switch would still have to have some login passed to it,…

"just use that Run a program action to execute curl.exe" Is that something I can do with Solarwinds and just install cURL on the SW server to send out the commands? 

Here is rbc code as Juniper tells me for a power off command: <rpc-reply xmlns:junos="">xml.juniper.net/.../junos"> <rpc> <request-power-off> </request-power-off> </rpc> <cli> <banner>{master:0}</banner> </cli> </rpc-reply> These are the headers: GET /rpc/request-power-off HTTP/1.1 Authorization: Basic…

Yep. That worked. Thanks!

I found the dashboard. Settings-> manage dashboards-> check box for Modern Dashboards. Select the dashboard you wish to view. Is there a way to have this show up as a choice under " My Dashboards " 

Once it's imported , how do I use it? I sort of expected my dashboard to look different. 

I have two alerts. One for the 10 min remaining and another for 5 min remaining on the battery. Oddly, I got some alerts of the 5 min remaining over the weekend but none for the 10 min. I'm setting these up to use as triggers to tall our network switches to do some things. 

I may have found the solution. https://solarwindscore.my.site.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Create-custom-poller-alert?language=en_US In my case, it looks like this: I've not been able to test it on my UPS because it is not on the list of nodes on the custom poller. How can I add more nodes to it? I hoped it was in the…

Hoefully final loose end.. For this alert, I cloned a previous one we had, but there must be a variable issue, since the message is messed up. Would it be easier to just recreate the Alert than troubleshoot this message issue? 

OK, I think I have this working. I tested it on one of our UPSes and it worked. I've now set it to trigger on all nodes with vendor " Tripp Lite" Here are my settings for future reference and review , if you think I still have an issue, Thanks a lot for your help. I'll post back if I find a problem. John

I have found that if I alert on just "Custom Node Poller" I can use the row ID in the first condition and then just use Node in the second condition. It isd not triggering as expected, so I'm looking at the advanced settings on the poller. I am not sure if I should be using the GET funtion and jut " Text as the output and…

OK, I think I have that part of the condition ready to go, however, once I choose the " alert on " custom table poller current status " I seem to be limited to the values in that section. I can't specify the name of a UPS or the group of UPSes at the " simulate " step of the wizard. If I tell a second part of the trigger…

That wasn't intuitive. Thank you. I was able to find that poller, which is great. Now, since it's a table and I want to have some logic like " if table value = "On Battery" or at OID = 7 to be able to pull the current state, how do I do that? I figure an AND condition, but I need the second line to as something like Custom…

I'm trying to use the Tripp-Lite OIDs

" a list of all the defined pollers will be listed, from which you can choose the one you're interested in" That I don't see. I see a few items, none of which are ones i created in the UDP. 

OK, that's good to know. How do you find your list of pollers you may have created in the Universal Device Poller within SolarWinds? All I see is one or two simply called Custom Poller. Neither are the ones I see in Universal DP.

Antonis, I do have an alert that does use "upsSecondsOnBattery" , but it was under the APC vendor rather than using Tripp-Lite mibs which is the brand we have. Since Tripp-Lite has mibs and I have had them put into our organization mib database, I would like to use them when I can. As a general question who should I…

Adding the FQDN in the field has not resolved the issue, which was the KB doc recommendation. 

The " Solarwinds platform web server address " is set to https://solarwinds.( our domain ). This url does open solarwinds. I've gone through the steps on the doc "to change the hostname in the URL. The steps are not up-to-date, but I found my way to the right place. The FQDN field was null, so I added the Solarwinds server…

I think a summary page will be enough for what the boss wants. I was able to use the correct widget and get one widget for each map I needed. " Public VIsibility" was already turned on. Thanks for the tip.

What is a modern dashboard map widget and how does it differ from the ones already in Solarwinds?

I am trying to get alerts when a UPS is on battery, so if the string " On Battery" is true and it sends me an alert that would be what I want. However, I could use the seconds on battery for the same result. The issue is that SW tells me even that OID can not be used on this node, which is one of my UPSes. I was told by a…

I used the Mib Browser with a sample UPS chosen, as you can see in the blue box. The MIB is from Tripp-Lite which is the brand we use. I was under the impression that if I do a MIB walk and if the OID returns a value, then it would work on the device I walked. Is this not the case? John

I will look at the choices for a performance analysis graph. I've looked at a lot of the graphs available already. I'm going to guess, based on your answer that Solar Winds does not have a 5 minute rolling ( moving ) average chart in it's list of charts. I have a chart that shows an average and polls every 5 minutes. I…

I remoted into our SW server and opened Chrome and pasted in the URL. The page loads and then gives me a line stating it's trying to synch, but eventually fails. 

We have all pretty new Juniper switches, so we should be OK on polling frequency.

I also get an error that it can't synchronize with my SolarWinds server. Given the page is from my SW server, this seems odd.
