out phone switches reply to ICMP

What i'm saying is if packet loss is 100% the node-down alarm will trigger There is no way for NPM to mark a node as being up with 100% packet loss If every packet NPM sends at a node is lost, how will it consider it as being 'up'? the NPM node ICMP status poller pings a node each Default Node Poll Interval to determine…

on Juniper routers the ARP data is stored by VRF context, and not in a global MIB table. We don't have it linked to Active Directory, because not everyone logs into an active directory controller. I do have a really good source of login information through our SSO portal, but there is no way to feed that information in It…

It's not possible (and I pointed this out to the product manager). It's also not possible to add them programmatically either (no SDK support to add the UDT pollers) Ideally I'd like to be able to sync all nodes from NPM into UDT and have filters applied on what gets imported. We're up to over 300,000 switch ports; The way…

You're welcome; In the spirirt of more than one way to do something in SQL, the following query might run faster in some environments: SELECT TOP 1000 * FROM custompollerstatus CPS INNER JOIN custompollerstatistics_detail CPSD ON CPS.custompollerassignmentid = CPSD.custompollerassignmentid AND CPS.rowid = CPSD.rowid INNER…

check out (NPM 10.6) SELECT TOP 1000 * FROM ContainerMemberSnapshots where status in (2,3) this will give you the members of a Container (Group) that are down or warning, and the ContainerID here is a more worked example to go from group, to the members with issues: select * from (SELECT EntityID GroupID,Name…

does it actually stop polling, or does it simply mark the node as unreachable instead of down (if it would have marked it as down.) the former implies, as you suggest, that it needs a complete understanding of your topology and failover, which in my case requires it to understand VRRP and BGP (something NPM is really quite…

ActiveObject and ObjectType are what you should join on Somethng like this: Select Top 1000 * From AlertStatus A left outer join Nodes N on N.nodeid=A.ActiveObject and A.ObjectType='Node' left outer join Interfaces I on I.InterfaceID=A.ActiveObject and A.ObjectType='Interface' left outer join NPM_NV_WL_APS W on…

If this is an an additional polling engine then I'd uninstall of the solarwinds software from it, clean out all of the solarwinds directories and re-install. it is works you're fixed, and it can't take more than an hour to do.

Adding node to a container (group) with Perl? Re: Trying to create groups (containers) using perl at it's simplest there is the following perl snippet: [Sector and Building are two custom properties... I have this code inside a perl function that takes a building and sector as arguments and creates a group with the members…

TCP -- all database writes from additional polling engines are done as SQLserver DB writes directly to the database, so you get the benefit of TCP in doing that; if the syslog cannot write to the database (times out) it'll start logging errors to the filesystem, so if you check the logs you should be able to see lost data.

The additional poller is a separate product, basically it's everything EXCEPT the web-server portion. You'll need to buy an additional poller licence if you need an additional poller; you can de-licence your old server and move the licence to the new VM. p.s. i't probably best to create a new question than reply to a…

You have to submit a support ticket to SolarWinds -- there is a long-running thread on the board titled something like 'Tell us your unknown devices' which is pretty much ignored by SolarWinds (sorry to seem negative, but the thread has been running for many years for what should be a simple lookup table pre-populated with…

I'm not following what is the issue with Solarwinds here. What exactly are you trying to poll (what is the MIB table, please give the OIDs) I suspect you have a badly designed MIB, which no amount of programming can overcome. As an example if you look at the apstatus data reported by Aruba wireless controllers they report…

join on the nodeid and inerfaceindex in the trap to the nodeid and interfaceindex in the interfaces table.

the trap will include the interface ID -- solves the problem of parsing that out of the syslog message. You can then match the trap information against the interface custom property and a time range to see if you have received an ifDown trap in the last 30 minutes for a critical interface.

Unfortunately this is not easily possible -- the actions inside the Syslog (and trap) processing server applications don't cause advanced alerts to be displayed; they lack the simple ability to set properties on a node (or interface) that can be picked up by an alert. What I do: I use the more unusual options in the trap…

Attached is an example -- you will have to edit the thresholds to be something sensible and update the email action.. (this worked for me in my environment a few seconds ago)

How would you identify the loop if you did not have NPM?

Yes there is. a) continue to use Whatsup b) purchase SAM c) devise your own method using one of the other suggestions on this thread d) hire someone to do (c) for you. note, personally I'd look at modifying Protocol.vbs -A Windows VBScript to test TCP Service Response | Symantec Connect and the solarwinds API to update a…

Oh, that's possible -- as long as your routing infrastructure supports it, but are you really getting more and 1Gbps of traps? Traps are UDP-based, and you only need to get the packet TO the solarwinds server. The trap receiver listens on all IP addresses and will accept the trap. It'll then match the incoming IP address…

create a new network sonar discovery SNMP -> enter credentials to wrote down (actually, delete all but the one you wrote down) NEXT vmwave-> false NEXT NCM-> false NEXT Windows -> skip credentials NEXT Network -> pick the Specific nodes and paste the IP addresses in there NEXT Discovery settings: set the hopcount to zero,…

You can add custom properties when creating the node, but I write this sort of thing in perl (because the linux servers with our CMDB on it don't support powershell).

They told me that it was (as they closed another support case with the note that the issue was fixed in NPM12) My upgrade is scheduled for the 5 July -- will see if it works or not...

NPM can ping things inside the network, or you can setup an external ICMP-only node that you can ping to determine the state of an internet connection. You are the one best situated to describe what you mean by 'primary Internet connections/gateways' and whether they are up or down. In my world I don't have such a thing,…

the Trap server doesn't fully support IPv6 -- it does not correctly decode IPv6 address elements in TrapVarBinds.

If I search for an IP address on a router (in NPM10.5) it brings up the router that has that IP address on one of its interfaces here is one of the routers -- I searched for an IP address 10.132.7.4, and you can see that it's polling IP address is 10.132.0.4

It should not be -- I've thousands (4954) of VLANS I monitor equipment across. I would look at the router that connects your vlans first to see if it is having problems. My database server is physical -- I'll leave discussion of that to someone who might have more input on that.

no. What you have found is what we've observed in our install. When a SW support person ran through the upgrade he commented that it was 'A non-standard configuration' yet I [thought I] followed exactly the steps in the support document on how to set up https sites. we currently have a somewhat broken 10.5 install with…

What do you have in your websites table? (on the server, using the Database Manager) Can you share the content of the table? is should look something like: 1hostname(All Unassigned)4431primary Enable SSL connections on Windows Server 2012 It might be that parts of the app are using SSL, and other parts are not. with the…
