Yes and no, we have a DNS load balancer that uses BIND in the background. We've only upgraded to IPAM 4.0 so havent setup the monitoring of the Zone files, if it will even let us (as we dont have root). The way we did it was to create a custom property "NAT Address" and then enter the Public IP against the Private…

That's great information right there thanks. The worst case scenario (currently) would be around 300ms between the APE and DB for a specific region - the problem is that if we have a support issue we could be knocked back straight away as we're not in a supported configuration. The only alternative(s) I could think of to…

Ah ok thanks for the reply either way! It was actually SW that recommended me posting a message on Thwack to gauge other peoples experiences, though they are going to look internally too.

Just to provide a quick update on this, Ive been told that the problem seems to lie with SSL certificates timing out (at two different places) when the Hardware gets polled. One of which is a local security policy and the other being in the APM Hardware poll code. I have only had the files running for the last 3 hours but…

Are there any examples of how to do this? Reason being my version would come back as "12.5.2213"

Nice one thanks, i'll take a look at those. It would have been nice to fully integrate into the NPM Discovery but looks like its going to be a more manual process (for now)

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the reply. If I am understanding correctly, on the "Reset Condition" tab I have tried both options - Reset when trigger conditions are no longer true Reset this alert when the following conditions are met: SELECT Nodes.NodeID as NetObjectID, Nodes.Caption as Name FROM Nodes WHERE NOT (IP_Address LIKE…

Good point, I hadnt noticed the Export to Excel was missing, something we use quite a bit too. But I agree the NTA charts are excellent and if the functionality/colours could be combined with the new ones Solarwinds would be onto a winner!

Not seen that problem in any XP/IE8 here yet, though I do get a message about javascript timeouts if there are a lot of graphs on the page. Support confirmed this is because of the way IE renders the javascript and suggested using Google Chrome or Firefox.

I agree, I like the look of them, they dont seem to waste as much space on the page as the old ones. Personally I want everything as compact as possible so I dont have to scroll up and down every page. But I only think they will come close when the features from the old ones are included into the new ones, like anything in…

Spot on thanks, I'd heard that change was on the cards but didnt realise it was in 10.2 I'm currently on 10.1.2... Time for an upgrade I think!!

+1 for the Feature Request on Audit Trails on who acknowledged events and Added/Unmanaged devices etc.

Can you share your workaround to get the SAM/APM under the correct node? I was thinking Powershell & WinRM might be able to do it or VBScript?

Oh definitely but I still can think of a place were we want to query our custom applications that are SQL driven. Eg has Application1 on ServerA updated some records for new users. Where ServerA connects to SQLA to store its data. So the processing (updating of new users) is done by ServerA rather than the SQLA which where…

Yep I've the SNMPv3 configured along with the Agent but it still not showing Contact or Location (I assumed the Agent was overriding the SNMP values, which worked previously)? Edit: It seems there was an issue polling SNMPv3 but as the Agent was the main polling method this wasnt showing. Selecting a polling method of…

It would help for the AD/WMI nodes, however for the SNMP ones that have a limited SNMP location field length they'd still have an issue (I noticed this issue on a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller). Hence a mapping table I thought would solve both issues.

Is there any ETA on that feature request? Some example of the current String Values I would like to monitor would be - Riverbed Steelhead - health (1.3.6.1.4.1.17163.1.1.2.2.0) Riverbed Steelhead - serviceStatus (1.3.6.1.4.1.17163.1.1.2.3.0) Routing Tables etc (where I could search for a string in it to prove if a certain…

I am one of those people with a LOT of small subnets. Personally I would like to see this being the case with Network and Broadcast being reserved and not classed as used (i.e. we have /20 broken down into /29 and larger). I dont know about other people but typically we allocate the first 3 usable addresses for default…

Cheers, I guess this forces me to goto 10.4 to get multiple UnDP per graph rather than 1 for every switch we have

I have it set to 0 hops and don't have it checking seed routers, just a couple of /22's and /23's per scan. I've just noticed that its actually one of my DNS/DHCP Servers (which is also configured in IPAM) is showing in all scans.

I'd found those two in the help but just assumed that there were more supported etc. I'll raise a request thanks

Support advised to upgrade to NPM 12.1 (which includes IVIM 7.1) or upgrade VIM separately to 7.0 or above - http://downloads.solarwinds.com/solarwinds/Release/VirtualizationManager/7.0.0/SolarWinds-VIM-v7.0-Full.zip

This is something I was also wondering how to do. I have a site with 80+ subnets which I was wanting to export, open in notepad++ and do a find & replace then import back in but none of the folders and values seem to be exported as part of it. On a side note being able to create a report with the "Folder Name" as a field…

I managed to get a very basic version working with the below. Alert Action - Execute External Application powershell.exe -Command "wget -URI ""http://<SDP+ DNS/IP>/sdpapi/request/?OPERATION_NAME=ADD_REQUEST&TECHNICIAN_KEY=<API KEY>&INPUT_DATA=<Operation> <Details><parameter><name>requesttemplate</name><value>Default…

Supposedly it doesn't modify the traffic at all (though I suspect the source address will change, or need to be spoofed) This is the way we used to have it setup Source->Kiwi->NPM but there was no redundancy with Kiwi so switched over to this clustered solution.

Yea I could use a Limitation but it would block out more than the I need to (I have a screen for morning checks), if the node was down it would be excluded and hidden from view if I used a Limitation. Unfortnatly there is no config file (its a Checkpoint Management Station). I guess I could backup /etc/hosts or something…

I've a case open at the moment and am providing wireshark captures / diags to development. I'll update when I have any useful info / a resolution.

Please let me know if you get a resolution as I have an open case regarding this too (334963) doesnt seem to be any tie to Insight version or HP Model or OS Version.

Unfortunatly it is an ISP Managed router so we have very limited snmp (RO) access and netflow. There is no way I will be able to get RW or SSH access to the device

Yea but that'll mean providing a login account etc, hence thinking that it might be easier to do it with an OID. If you have any luck could you post back here please?
