  • Yes.. Switches in our lab don't generate node down alerts: (note the 'all' condition)
  • 1. It's almost certainly being sent as application/text and the API is expecting application/json 2. you appear to be missing commas at the end of the array values in your JSON [you might find it easier it install perl or the scripting language of choice and write a script to create tickets using that than to use the HTTP…
  • jasongreb wrote: The problem I have with moving around the pollers is that many of our switches were setup with the first poller IP and they never added the second one. I can't move them without breaking a lot of switch. Of course, that is a battle with our network team that I need to take on at some point. I note you have…
  • check out these tutorials: TSQL – Concatenate Rows using FOR XML PATH() | Sql And Me sql server - SQL Query - Concatenating Results into One String - Stack Overflow build the string as a nice piece of HTML in the query and get the result formatted how you like.
  • how I got this: over 240 days we've read/written ~8*10^12 bytes this works out to ~3.1Mbps we have ~38,000 elements, which makes it ~82 bits/second/element -- you can then do the math for the number of elements on your APE.
  • oops, that is the traffic between the APE and the database -- the traffic between the APE and the main APP server is so low as to be negligible.
  • Putting together a reference config would be awesome!
  • I don't have any good advice here because it depends on your network architecture. I would suggest that perhaps you need a secure non-internet-routed management network that connects your networking equipment so you can manage the equipment. You can then firewall that network away from your users (source of most network…
  • Yes; note it's much easier for people to answer questions if there are some specifics, for example what UnDP data are you polling for (BGP peer, VPN peer IP, ...), and what do you want to do with it (reports, alerts, or custom HTML control). Without that you will get advice that may lead you in the wrong direction.…
  • I have 12,472 subnets that I would like to import. Drag&drop is not quick, and neither is updating a group of them to refer to the correct parent, since you can't select more than about 150 at a time, and there's no sorting or filtering functionality in the selection/display dialog.
  • The nodereboots works of the SNMP agent restarting, which if you are managing servers is probably the wrong thing. Please look at my custom pollers and alerts for the hrSystemUptime: hrSystemUptime.UnDP hrSystemReboot.AlertDefinition These will use the operatingsystem uptime instead of the SNMP agent [windows service]…
  • a TCP connection is defined by the tuple: (local IP, local port, remote ip, remote port); There is nothing in the TCP protocol that says the only the local port part has to be unique for each TCP connection. i.e. (10.1.1.1,22,10.2.2.2,1230) and (10.1.1.1,22,10.3.3.3,1230) are two different connections The same is true for…
  • Sounds like a good idea for a feature request. as an aside, I'm not convinced that the whitelist feature is really that useful. In my current environment (a University) I don't care who plugs in to the network (a BYOD environment), in a previous environment I did (PCI-DSS and serious about security), and we made use of…
  • as far as I can see the BGP peer description is not in the IETF BGP-4 MIB: RFC 4273 - Definitions of Managed Objects for BGP-4 if you need to have additional information about the neighbours then the way i've done that in the past it to look at the neighbour IP address SELECT TOP 1000 Nodes.Displayname, NeighborID,…
  • oops, missed out a group by in my copy&paste. SELECT TOP 2 ipn.ipaddress, ipn.subnetid FROM ipam.ipnode IPN INNER JOIN ( SELECT TOP 1 n.subnetid, Count(*) AS freeipcount FROM ipam.subnet S INNER JOIN ipam.ipnode N ON n.subnetid =s.subnetid WHERE s.comments='AWS-Prod_GRE_Tunnels' AND n.status=2 group by n.subnetid HAVING…
  • we upgraded to NCM7.4, and I'm not seeing any difference in the display (at all); NCM7.5 will probably happen next month
  • create, update, delete operations for the IPAM and UDT products Orthogonality of operations across all Orion objects. i.e. if I can read an object (e.g. a [UDT] port) then I ought to be able to create, update, or delete it. The same for an [IPAM] IP address, or subnet.
  • yes, see my next reply that links to such reports.
  • yes, the config file. NOTE!!! a) when you upgrade the value will be reverted, and if you do not change it quickly enough all of your historical AP are deleted b) if you have a primary/backup controller configuration solarwinds records twice the number of AP you actually have. They will be either be down or deleted on the…
  • One thing to look into here is the availability (or otherwise) of Jumbo frames in your environment. The SNMP getbulk request-pdu is normally a very small packet (less than 512 bytes), however the response may often be much larger, especially on the interfaces table where the interface descriptions are returned for up to 40…
  • ISC DHCP (somewhat in order) a) periodically import dhcp leases file b) import dhcpd.conf to get scope information c) export scope information into dhcpd.conf it might be useful to have these files read/written to a network location using SCP since most ISC servers run under UNIX ISC DNS (BIND) Requirements here are a…
  • if this is true then one possible workaround is to convert these to 'custom SQL alerts' this should convert the existing alert text to SQL that you can then edit to have the correct alert name where it shows '*' [not on 10.6 yet]
  • Our environment is probably one or two orders of magnitude larger than most customers a) has been fixed by me re-writing reports; the new SDK documentation helped with that b) I deleted everything solarwinds-related on the servers, moved the directories to one side and did as fresh an install as I could and the problem was…
  • on #2 to display the state as something other than 6 pick advanced options on the uDP for it, and change the Format to Enumeration. (pressing 'Map values' shows what the enumerations map into; 6 = established)
  • I use the following to geocode addresses using Google Docs: http://www.digital-geography.com/geocoding-google-spreadsheets-the-simpler-way/ this gives me the address info -> nodeid,lat,log I then make use of this: Updating Orion.WorldMap.Point via the Perl SDK To put the location information onto the node (so technically…
  • my neighbour alert simply posts the following mesage to the alert log. Routing issue on ${Node.Caption}, neighbor ${NeighborIP} protocol state is down (${DisplayName})
  • at some version It deletes existing ports & the associated data immediately when you modified the list. I'm not going to try that again because it immediately delets all the history. What is it with solarwinds and deleting data from the database? on Juniper switches the bridge data is associated with the virtual (unit)…
  • We build all of our groups dynamically off custom properties anyway. but here is a custom SQL query based off the volume to alert on members of the Firewalls group with less than 10% free disk space. Customize as appropriate. WHERE ( ( 100-NULLIF(volumepercentused,-2) < 10 ) AND ( nodes.nodeid IN ( SELECT cms.entityid FROM…
  • Please follow the standard litany when making a problem report: what actually happened? screen shots? error messages?
  • erm, sorry, at this point I think you need customer support.
