If you can edit that second paragraph quotation "...chats...." to "....charts...". I hadn't got my full dose of coffee in me yet when reading this and it through me for quite the loop a couple of times I love the idea, I think this would be great to have this functionality within the system. Can you imagine not just for…

Yeah!!!! Absolutely Brandon....how many times do we train someone on the system on how to add a node and say, "....now don't forget to type this "x" in...." Then you pull a report or notice in the system that their is nothing entered in for an interface or node and it is blank. Data Integrity! Can't wait to see how this…

Yeah...I am in 10.4 and I went to check a node in which I know one of my users put into maintenance mode. There was no log of it in the audit. I tested just prior to this note to confirm. I placed a single node into maintenance mode for the next 1 hour. Refreshed on the node details page for approximately 5 minutes to…

mavturner - I see I did not follow up to your post after I learned that I do see this audit log successfully now. I think when I reloaded one of the modules during a different issue, it started to appear in the audit log as designed. This is a good place to see bread crumbs of such event. I would still hold the feature…

2nd That...SysEngineer just asked me today for support monitoring our AVAMAR systems. I see nothing...

I see it...nicely done!

Mike, Exactly what I was thinking....I hope Peter answers. I hate the fact that the interface number is totally separate than the interface descriptions. Anyway to cross reference information without having to "develop" or "program" through code/script would be nice. 

Interesting the response from SolarWinds. I think the verbiage is wrong...but still interesting in the behavior that I see: * 2 IP Addresses that are reserved in DHCP - both do not respond and are no longer being used - both being reported in IPAM with a last response of the day in which I checked. * 1 IP Address has…

I have to think that the performance hit is substantial. SQL has its limitations - not sure where they will be met for each of our respective environments and I am by no means a DBA guru. But time and time again, with multiple products for monitoring they all bog down as you grow and how we manage our methodologies for…

Yeah, Vlans and network segments - default Gateways are in spreadsheets in our environment as well. All of this is easily added into IPAM, however I have found the same challenges when searching for information. It is inefficient and cumbersome to try and find the right information quickly and easily. Even baby steps to…

Well what I saw/see.....go to where you manage your nodes and select any node that has custom properties. Now put a check in the check box and select to edit the properties of that node. In the next window you will see at the upper right corner area (of the custom properties section) a link that says, "Manage Custom…

Well that posting was nails thank you very much. I guess I am just not really in tune with what Microsoft is doing. I have a much more in tune background with Cisco devices obviously and thus expected a similar response to something called: Authentication Trap. Out of the box I would typically see the offending device and…

Confirmed on the charting....yep, I narrowed my chart to 1 minute intervals and sure enough I pick up a a single ping dropped between the above cycles, which caused a 50% packet loss. I am so used to only going down to 5 minute metrics as most of the graphs/charts are unable to chart anything under that metric due to no…

Wow....approximately 9-10 months later from these posts and I had to perform the same tasks... Reconfigure away from the default settings of redirecting HTTP/80 to HTTPS/443 and had to disable this. Once only authenticating on port 80 and not redirecting NPM found the system fine. Yes this is a serious security concern.…

Ahh...thank you aLTeReGo...your replies and information always lead me to more learning and discovery - Gold! So I happened to have one of these situations exactly today. Node A being polled appears to have dropped a ping or pings. *Special Note - the only way I know this is though the charting statistics for Latency &…

Mr. Letts, Thank you for the response...good to know on the actual OID that is being used. So are we saying then that this particular OID does not collect the offending device address that initially provoked the Trap? I am not positive I am following you on the varbind portion. If not, then I still am scratching my head…

I am having the same problem and have already been running 10.4.x for some time. It looks like the switch that I am trouble shooting now has both options checked: L3 & L2. I know this is only a L2 switch so I will uncheck the L3 option and rediscover - should this then clean up the very incorrect reporting of the topology?…

This is the best thread that I have found for this very exact issue or one of the 2 very popular scenarios. I have also used the localhost and 127.0.0.1 to resolve some of the issues for scenario 1. However I have yet to find anyone stating scenario 2 in which I can reproduce and have verified via testing: ORION Server…

Sorry for the delay response....aLTeReGo.... So then with what you are stating, I should see a corresponding dropped pings in ORION when I see the state change? In other words, I have already confirmed that the node appears to never be "Down", however I show an event log within ORION for that node changing status from "Up"…

BAM!!! You are the man, I am running 8.2(2) and same issue. As soon as I changed all methods to SSH2 and the "enable" instead of "enable 15" it worked right away. Thanks for the contribution....this is what makes this forum so valuable. Peace :)

Very helpful fletcher, thanks. Looks like I am running under 1GB so I will definitely open a case just to see what they say. However, I will be covering with my NMS Team of this anomaly and it appears of we delete from NCM first then it all works great with no hiccup - so to watch for this when deleting nodes and head off…

Woops, Sorry: NPM 10.4 and NCM 7.1 I ran into this while on NPM 10.3 as well. NetEng33

Rory81 I hear ya on this... I am still not feeling great with the solution I used in our environment nor believe it is the best, however this is what we used in order to move forward. I found this very thing as some devices need to get alerted to different departments or persons of responsibility. We found quickly that…

Working on getting our AVAMAR sysOID and model information you are requesting....seems like an important enough product that SolarWinds would maybe take some initiative and get this from EMC and work with them to enhance the product and/or really provide value in the SAN monitoring you have been rolling out in the last…

Sham's answer is absolutely right on - Correct! I have been looking into this same behavior to confirm the same findings. I would like to raise this topic again as I am dealing with what "rgward" stated as well. It is confusing regarding seeing "Up" statuses in the event logs of ORION where the node was never actually…

You are very welcome. I hope all threads helped. I enjoy Thwack as it is one of the most active communities I've ever been a part of. This is a big part of why the solutions work so well; the excellent collaboration between the users as well as Solarwinds. Peace, Chad Warner On Jan 9, 2014 9:32 AM, "cmatrask" <

Cool, Danielle.... I find this forum extremely useful and appreciate the activity from the users as I have learned a lot from the posts. Thanks for the quick reply and correction on such an old post. Respectfully, NetEng33

Support nailed it. We have multiple instances and when pointed to a single instance: Success!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The reason why you are receiving such an error is that the Performance Counter…

lhorstma, It worked great, thank you for the post. Here is what I had done in one of our Advanced Alerts and it is reporting correctly: Interface Speed: ${InBandwidth as Bandwidth} Rx: ${SQL:Select 10000000/${Inbps}} Mbps Tx: ${SQL:Select 10000000/${Outbps}} Mbps Respectfully, NetEng33

Ah...interesting. So I am configured to download each evening on every Cisco device. I remember setting up the retention for no longer than 30 days. But I will have to dig where that setting is again to confirm. We have not been performing backups through the NCM product for even a year now, however there are multiple…
