ah, in my code, the nodeid is returned from the create my $AddedNode=$swis->Create('Orion.Nodes', {'Caption'=>$ip ,'IPAddress'=>$ip ,'IPAddressguid' => ip2guid($ip) ,'DynamicIP'=>'false' ,'UnManaged'=>'false' ,'EngineID'=>1 ,'Status'=>1 ,'Allow64BitCounters'=>1 ,'ObjectSubType'=>'SNMP' ,'SNMPVersion'=>2…

a 32-bit operating system can only support 4GB of RAM; 2^32 = 4GB, even if you stick 12GB of memory in the server the OS will only use 4 of it. Note, unless the application has been built specially, a 32-bit app running on any windows operating system can only use 2GB of virtual memeory (at which point it crashes) All of…

really, I only ever hover over things that are not-green and what I really need to know is why it's not green, and then take me to something that would tell me that. interfaces that are red. that normally means I have to phone the telco to get them to fix them I go to our provisioning system to get the right circuit…

You have a certificate error shown for internet explorer, but the other browsers are refusing to show you a website with a bad certificate. Can you resolve that first? Richard

use a custom SQL Alert on the object type you want to alert for e.g.: Where(Nodes.pbxAlerts=1 )AND not exists (SELECT 1 FROM syslog a WHERE a.datetime >= Dateadd(minute, -30, Getdate()) AND nodeid = nodes.nodeid) or Where(Nodes.pbxAlerts=1 ) AND not exists (SELECT 1 FROM traps a WHERE a.datetime >= Dateadd(minute, -30,…

If you're comfortable with the database manager you could go and update the interfaceIndex column for the entries in the interfaces table manually -- that way you get to keep the stats. /RjL

NCM should download the configs from the devices (at least nightly, ideally every time they are changed) one can define policy reports about what should appear in the configuration (e.g. the lines to sync with time servers, send syslogs to your audit servers, etc..) Nightly these reports can your configuration files and…

I've not looked deeply into this because I alerted for BGP issues off the BGP Backward Transition traps. Solarwinds/SNMP polling does scale the right way to manage a large (hundreds of peers and millions of routes(*)) BGP network. note: with BGP the state is Idle -> connect -> Established and I'm not sure which of these…

You would define a Universal Device Poller to pull the ARP and bridge tables; There are videos on the solarwinds website on how to setup Universal device pollers. You would then have to write custom reports to make us of this => this is what UDT is supposed to provide If topology polling with cisco equipment is broken open…

Solarwinds offers an Upgrade advisor that steps you through the correct sequence of upgrades: Product Upgrade Advisor | SolarWinds Customer Portal it works well, and saves the effort of reading through release notes for many different products. Richard

We have: 32 controllers ( mixture of 7005, 7210, 7220, and 7440) and ~13,000 wireless access points across three campuses, three hospitals and dozens of clinics. We have a /15 of IPv4 RFC1918 address space allocated for the clients, and we easily reach 75,000 unique clients at a peak. Our Wireless install is so large that…

here you go -- if a node reports that it cannot reach its NTP server more than a ten times in the past hour... WHERE nodeid IN (SELECT nodeid FROM (SELECT Count(*) errcount, nodeid FROM syslog WHERE syslogseverity = 3 AND datetime < Dateadd(hour, -1, Getdate()) AND message LIKE '%NTP Server Unreachable' GROUP BY nodeid…

The SDK manual page 33 has a powershell example using bulk-update; converting your script to use that form does it run faster?

These are worker process started by the SW job engine -- you might not have any running if they are not needed. e.g On one polling engine have three running, on another I have eight what happens if you restart the SW job Engine 2 on the additional polling engine? Richard

Are you polling them for layer-3 information? You may need to increase the debugging and look at the UDT poller logs to see what it is fetching from the devices. if you have Jumbo frames enabled on your network you'll need a fixed SNMP library from support since the one shipped with versions of UDT upto and including 3.0.2…

yes, but you have to say why you don't like 's solution, because that's the easiest way I can think of doing this..

I'm starting to become a stuck record on this. In order to get an unknown device recognized by Solarwinds NPM you must do exactly these things: a) post your sysObjectID, MachineType, and vendor to 'Tell us your unknown devices' b) phone up solarwinds support and tell them you need support for your device in the next…

60,000 centiseconds [the standard time unit in SNMP for some strange reason, quite why they didn't pick a standard SI prefix is beyond me] Anyway 600 seconds or 10 minutes: has the node rebooted in the last 10 minutes. /RjL

If you have a complete FOE setup (including a replicated database), then the way to do this is to a) break the database replication (effectively keeping a backup) b) turn off one complete set of servers and perform the upgrade on the running set. If everything looks good turn on the (old) servers re-establish the database…

Is Solarwinds polling the device? Does the alert clear if you do a 'poll now' on the device?

see How to customize your ssh and telnet buttons to open your ssh client in the node details of NPM in my environment I have to pass through a jump/bastion host to reach routers. In order to do this (using putty) 1. Setup putty and your jump host so you can logon to your jump host using a ssh key (I load this into pagent…

This looks really cool -- and for those of us who support large geographic areas this would be Awesome. Any chance you can provide an upload with this on how to do it?

Sorry, yes. I also went and checked with TCPview. Obviously ICMP. SNMP polling, Active directory, DNS, syslog, traps, etc... all have their own port requirements as well...

this is always true e.g.: 123 is not like '*map*' or 123 is not like '*123*' = true or false = true map is not like '*map*' or map is not like '*123*' = false or true = true EITHER 123 is not like '*map*' AND 123 is not like '*123*' = true AND false = false map is not like '*map*' AND map is not like '*123*' = false AND…

sysUptime is defined as: * DESCRIPTION "The time (in hundredths of a second) since the network management portion of the system was last re-initialized." If the network management stack is reloading on a device then I think it's a reason to go and investigate why; for most devices I have the snmp agent is tightly bound to…

you can pretty much ignore the thinAP count, because those are not polled directly; you have at least 30K elements (#switches* (device + local interface+remote interface) + #wireless controllers) Which puts you at the top end of the server specifications iun the document below. honestly I'd put SSD in the SQL server with…

I sent them to Michal -- copied you in a pem.

"Alert suppression" suppresses all alerts of this type if there is a match to the rule there. it doesn't suppress just an instance of the alert. The alert manager evaluates the tabs from left to right: - get the set of objects that have the alert on them - remove the set of objects that have the alert reset (so an object…

Question for support... I would have thought that adding the LLDP connections returned from a query like this would have been quite straightforward.
