vote up this idea: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/2685 I have the same problem -- if I could find the 'unknown' interfaces I could edit them and correct the interface description / SNMP ID and map them to the new interface

1. Integrate with Airwave: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/2689 2. Support to manage APS through the webUI: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/3472 [wow, It seems I've made over 30 Idea suggestions using your idea tool]

These are really old SMC switches TigerStack-II's I think... their CLI is really slow: you can see it backspacing over the --More-- prompts that it reminds me of 1200bps teletype consoles.

This isn't very useful in a network that has no DHCP on it, e.g a server network in the data center. It's even less useful if you get multiple host reservation requests inside of a polling cycle, or if you use isc-dhcp which doesn't support powershell :-( [the lack of a write API is the main reason we discontinued trying…

here is Iperf; the code is here: esnet/iperf · GitHub there is also http://psps.perfsonar.net/ Which is very useful for tracking issues that only one-way-pings show up.

It is not normal, and it means that your UDT is not writing some of the data into the database. This looks like the same error that I am getting. UDT doesn't surface critical errors anywhere you can see them, it's only when it stops writing the data into the database and only when starts to look funky do you begin to look…

There is not enough traffic on the server for this to be a factor, the volume is less than 10Mbps. Even if the server had one socket per managed device that would put the limit at closer to 65,000, but that is bad coding since one can poll millions of SNMP-managed devices off a single host using a single socket.

"To really get into the right mind-set for discussing MSMQ's limits I think we should first read the words of that great man Douglas Adams: "Space is big - really big - you just won't believe how vastly, hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. You may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to…

This made me go look at my UDT install :-( I have discovered I've a small random selection of over 450K ports are unmonitored... which explains why I was not finding things I thought I should be able to even with the lack of VRF polling. I've no idea how to even begin fixing this -- I think the students would revolt if I…

I've seen this in my environment. Are you using UDT? Have you tried restarting the jobengine2? I am suspecting that it is holding some of the community strings in memory or its database (in C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\JobEngine.v2\Data\JobEngine35.sdf) and re-using them?

The underlying problem is that in 11.0.1/7.3.1 there is now a unified nodes table. Previously when NCM had its own database no locks were taken on the NPM nodes table, but now there are. NCM_Nodes is a view that includes the Nodes tables; this at NPM<11.5 is a single table with many updates and reads on it. this causes…

In 10.7 can you embed web-based reports into pages like you can with report-writer-based reports? Edit Page Layout -> Add resource -> "Report from Orion Report Writer" In 10.6 it would only offer you the choice of Report-Writer reports and not web-based reports.

You need both versions of OSPF if you are doing IPv4 and IPv6. I have several hundred cisco routers, none of them run EIGRP.

I have 552 containers in my environment. Watch out for reading old posts that may no-longer apply; I know there has been work in this area since 2012. At one point the members of a container were calculated dynamically, and then it was changed to create snapshots of members which improved performance significantly.

updating the MIB doesn't update the Vendor and MachineType -- for that you have to upgrade the NPM application to one with compiled-in values. Vote up this idea: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1952 if you want to be able to setup your own sysObjectID mapping

aside: note the style of 'in' or 'exists' this is important because the SQL performs significantly better under some circumstances. also datetime > dateadd(hour,-1,getdate()) can use indexes on datetime against a constant rather than adding an hour to datetime on every row and seeing if it's in the future.

traceroute doesn't provide me with much information for dependencies -- at L3 there are at most there are three [pairs] of routers between the monitoring system and any end-point. to give you some idea of the scale: 14 routers => 4500 switches => ( 400 UPS and 9200 thin wireless access points.) L2 dependency mapping based…

Solarwinds 'post to http' supports https -- just specify a https:// URL

No, there only appears to be one poller associated with the wireless information: N.WirelessController.SNMP.Aruba this includes too much information: controller, thinAP, rogue, and client polling all in one package Idea to modularize this: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/4946 anyone know if there are internal switches…

There is a Custom Properties for Groups resource, except it takes you to the screen when you can edit the group membership (and also allows you to set the properties) So the answer to the original question is that you will have to ask for an enhancement to be able to edit the group's custom properties without being able to…

Migration of the server-based tools appears to have stopped. Some of them like the Trap Viewer, Syslog viewer, and Universal Device Poller are fairly significant because I have to give Server Admin roles to staff to run those tools. Note: I'm not even talking about changing the functionality of these parts significantly,…

here are all of the properties that I set when creating a node (from Perl); I've highlighted the ones I think you are missing. I have thousands of juniper switches and a couple of dozen juniper routers, and they are getting discovered okay (as far as I can tell) $swis->Create('Orion.Nodes', {'Caption'=>$ip,…

I'm going to note that every time you upgrade NPM it moves some of the UNDP pollers into the 'Example group' because you can only have one UPNP poller defined per OID and it stomps over your custom ones for APC. this is what we capture: upsAdvBatteryCapacity1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.1The remaining battery capacity…

* is the star character % is the wildcard matching any number of characters /RjL

the FOE install guide says NPM versions greater than 10 SP1 https://support.solarwinds.com/@api/deki/files/9825/PreparingOrionFailoverEngineInstallation.pdf

Why do you have the requirement that in the new HA solution that members are on the same subnet? I'm not seeing the technical restrictions that would require this.

Support is telling us that we need to get to NPM 11.5 to get Aruba wireless polling fixed, and to UDT 3.2.1 to get some of the UDT issues fixed I have no SAM.

You would have to use SQL Server admin tool, or the Solarwinds database editor, or possibly write some SQL NOTE: this is very dangerous, and I don't feel it is a good idea to provide a more worked example. /RjL

that would have been posted here: GOT A JOB? NEED A JOB? GET A JOB.

I put forward a idea request to take the information (ARP, Bridge data) from UDT to populate the IPAM http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1225 feel free to up-vote that :-) /RjL
