Alright, I found the Advanced Configuration page. My Realtime Poll is 2 min. You suggestion is to set it at or above 4 min, correct? 

If the URL path has "Orion/Admin" in it, shouldn't I see a folder tree that matches it? 

mesverrum, I don't intend to take action on a few seconds of high activity. My goal is to get an alert to look at the Solarwinds data and then determine if we should look at the server info it's self. My idea of getting the trigger on the "Live data" was to try to get the quickest " hey you might want to look at this... "…

I guess in 5 years the location of those settings has changed. The path mentioned in the thread does not exist on my server running 2023.4.0. In the GUI, I have the following path: * Admin * Thresholds & Polling * SolarWinds Platform Polling Settings I don't see " Live Polling " any where on that page. The polling interval…

mesverrum, I was able to use the perfstack method, but, in the perfstack view, I can hit the " Start Real Time Polling " and see live data, but in a new tab on my dashboard, all the graphs are static and don't show data. I would like to see live or even every 5 minute updates of data so if some anomaly occures, we can spot…

Very good. Now I have to figure out how to do all your suggestions. I messed around with the custom object resource, but the options it listed didn't give me thoughput choices. I'll look again.

Let me try asking in another way. I would like to gather charts from various interfaces on a few of data center devices and put them on one screen. Can I have charts from individual interfaces be shown on a custom dashboard? 

Thanks. mesverrum. That all good info. I'll dig into it. 

I have our wan ports monitored and an alert that would trigger if the transmit or recieve percentage goes above a given amount. That certainly would alert on higher volumn. What I was hoping for is catching not just a high volume trend, but something out of the norm. For instance, over night we have much less traffic thant…

All the Interface IDs were unique, so that should be the solution I was looking for. 

I found I can't use the Mac address because they are all Aggragate Interfaces ( two sfps per connection ) and the switch only reports a single address for both interfaces. InterfaceID is unique? I'll give that a look. Do you happen to know the OID path to that one? 

I thought the mac address would work, but what I see in SW is that mac address is the same for each pair of interfaces. I know this is not the case as each interface is a fiber SFP with a unique mac addr. Does the "Interface Details" poll the "ifPhysAddress" MIB to find that data it shows?

It appears this will need to be a tech support call. 

Follow up, This URL does not match the current version of SW. https://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/en/flarehelp/orionplatform/content/core-orion-maps-user-account-access.htm There isn't a "Solarwinds Platform Maps " in the account access options that I could find.

I found that the simple shift-click method does not work on a Mac OS and it doesn't matter if you use the cmd-click or option-click. You can't select two nodes that way. If you can click and drag it does work. This is the case even in a Windows VM on a Mac. Using a real Windows PC was the solution. Thanks for the help in…

I am using the MAP choice in SW 2023.3.0 "My Dashboards->Summary->Maps", so it that Orion Maps? I have also found that ctrl-click doesn't work on my map. We have a hub and spoke WAN and I was able to get one link to work by the click and drag method, but I can't add the next spoke because the drag will cover the one I want…

We have dual fiber lines to each site from our data center and they are in an aggregate interface configuration. Is there a way to show both connections? I haven't found a way to add both pathways.

Awesome, thanks! I believe I read that having the topology feature enabled could impact the performance of the switch.

Bring back this thread.... I have SNMP enabled on the core switches at every site. I have made a quick map with all the nodes of a WAN. The video I watched, if I recall, showed the paths of the interfaces being auto-created when you do this. I am not using Atlas. I am using the MAP choice in SW 2023.3.0 "My…

Christopher, The server has internet access. It provides the SolarWinds web page. I contacted support and they verified I can upgrade to 2023.x.x and sent me instructions.

Going to the web console and Settings and then "My Orion Deployment" gives me a page that says "No product updates available". When I was on my web browser to Solarwinds, I found links to download the NPM and NTA modules, but maybe those aren't for my install. I have no alerts about updates. Is 2020.2.6 still the newest?…

Is that the correct steps for just a single Solarwinds install? We don't have a central repository for multiple engines. Just one server. 

The links from the data center to the schools are all BGP and we own those fiber links. I have the IP for each endpoint from school to school. The links to our ISPs I just have our local end, of course. Do I need to have SNMP running on those switches or just choose to monitor those interfaces specifically? 

As a start, I would like the site routers and their connections to show. That way, I can see what schools are up and still connected to our data center. So, if I have SNMP setup on those 15 sites, would that be enough to get a map of that? I don't know what Solarwinds needs to show both ends of the data-center to site…

We were able to resolve the issue. I believe my installer was using the CLI. I was able to create a user under " User Accounts -> SNMP Users " with a monitor roll and SNMP ver 2. The user name doesn't matter with SNMP 2 but the community string needs to be there. I don't know what settings were created in the CLI. 

The Tripp-Like MIB file is a txt file and not any sort of installer. Is there a support doc to install a third-party file? 

We have a different community string on one older test switch and we tested the new community string on a new switch. Both were found by the solarwinds network discovery.
