I've been tasked with relocating one half of our FOE install from a location that is rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.380/0.496/0.671/0.060 ms to a location that is rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 8.392/8.488/8.670/0.125 ms i.e. about 8 milliseconds further away -- this site would only be active during disasters (when I would also be…

oh, if you need specific things from a trap then you can do something like this in the alert advanced alert actions write a message to the event log with the following text : PBX alert on node: ${Caption} ${SQL:SELECT top 1 tv1.oidvalue +' - '+ tv2.oidvalue + ' - ' + tv3.oidvalue + ' - ' + Substring(t1.tag, 1, 20) FROM…

no, I'm not advocating option 2c -- I'm advocating the option you don't list. The syslog and trap receivers process the values as they come in. You don't need a universal device poller at all, you can sumply do a custom SQL alert in the alert manager. You can tag the trap with anything that it has extracted from the trap,…

On windows when you generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) to generate the public and private key for the certificate. When you present the CSR it has your pblickkey attached to it, the Certificate Authority then signs your public key by attaching their certificate to it finally, when you import the signed public key…

It's on the node settings screen -- you can assign the view there.

The following will do what you want: Trigger an alert when all of the following are true: Status is equal to Down MachineType is equal to Juniper EX2200

and ExcludeRebootAlerts?

They aren't generally used to networking at the scale we work at; In a high performance high-latency environment where we are transferring Terabytes of research data even a low level of discards will screw up the throughput of most transfer programs (few high-throughput flows). Our Genome researches often find firmware…

You cannot separate the databases out for the modules -- there is simply too much shared data between them You have to assess the volume of syslog data and decide what you need to keep in SolarWinds. talk with your security or audit staff about what they might need -- they are the ones with most interest in policy around…

That does not allow you to delete any interface from a node. If the interface is not found during discovery (e.g. because the card has been removed from the router) it doens't show up in the list of interfaces to be unchecked from discovery... If the interface is found during discovery then you can delete it.

nope -- all the Node added audit events in my environment are for humans adding the weird and wonderful exceptions. I don't see any audit events for the API user account. Case 825029 created with output of the event and audit logs showing node added events, and node added audit entries.

Yes. Buy another product? I don't know what other answer to give, and I've given up trying to persuade the product manager of this as a need. /RjL

yes.

You could solve the marketing issue by shipping a version of isc-BIND and isc-DHCP togetehr with pre-configured integrations with your product. the biggest marketing differential right now if the lack of a CRUD API for all of the IPAM objects, especially subnets and IP addresses (other IPAM objects would be nice, but not…

Vendor and MachineType does not come from the MIB database -- I have asked for an enhancement to support this (please find the idea and vote on it). I'd open a support case to make sure it gets logged properly.

if you have NCM it only needs to accept SSH connections and you could invoke a script against it. if it has a SOAP/REST interface then an empty-pot trap could invoke the make-another-pot service (http post is in the alert manager)

Spanning tree: We provide a hosting service for departments -- if they plug in equipment in the rack we do not want spanning tree TCN propagating through hundreds of switches in the network because some of them so not cope well in that situation. (We hit a tipping point in the # of switches in the datacenter and the…

Attached is a perl script that does what you need. update the '1' on the TWO setProp lines to be whatever status number you want to set. (the script copes with the query returning one node or a list of nodes on which you want to set the property) /RjL

I'm interested in how you are alerting off your routing changes.

This will not work, and I feel this is something your reseller should help you with. Whoever sold you solarwinds should be able to help you with these questions & help with the architecture.

the database server is on a separate machine -- it's not running under the FOE so the SQL server doesn't suffer from the hostname changes, etc...

Orion's' unnerving predilection for deleting data whenever it feels like it (e.g. if we delete a node that has sent us netflow data) rather than when we no-longer need the data or being able to easily restore a single node (undelete) means we could not use Solarwinds as a reliable collector for billing purposes [commodity…

Someone recently flagged this as helpful, but the webUI has moved on in 9 years since this answer was posted With NPM 12.x (and maybe 11.x) you can also assign/unassign UnDP from the manage node pages in the web UI -- you no longer need to do this on the server

I'm not sure that describes a memory leak in sqlserver -- my SQlserver grows to, and runs at, 64GB pretty much all the time. bbusbey how quickly does the information service process leak memory? We had an issue with the All Alerts resource back a version and with a dozen people sat with NPM open all day it leaked some on…

I can assure you it does work; I have 2221 BGP peers on my network, and right now I see that 12 of them are down for one reason or another. Time to answer the standard litany of questions: FGA: Please follow the standard litany when giving a problem report. Next, we need to follow the debugging rules:…

Have the alert write the information to the event log when it is reset and query that instead of the alert table (which will not have the entry in it because it only holds active alerts as derhally wrote)

1. it seems to 2. not that I have noticed, this only affects how the data is gathered. 3. update nodes set Allow64BitCounters=1 where ... 4. as far as I can tell the pollers take their value from the nodes table, and the periodic rediscovery of the node and/or interfaces fixes up the counters being used by the pollers. To…

The example (and SDK documentation on adding a node) is incomplete There are additional properties that need to be set above what are shown in the SDK documentation to properly add a node or you get display errors in the webUI (for hover text on nodes) Despite that I'm still getting the following error thrown in the syslog…

The procedure here: SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: How to Upgrade SolarWinds Orion when Orion Failover Engine is Installed is VERY subtle around steps 1.d, 5-10, and 11a One has to turn off the FOE on the primary server at step 1, and then you must never have it running on both servers at the same time until step 13 (after…

I have a similar issue in 12.0.1 with the netpath module where it keeps on trying to explain how it works. I'm assuming that this may be related to using an Active-directory based login rather than a Solarwinds builtin login
