NCM 7.2.1 additional pollers still does not work with a FOE install.

Thank you -- I got my Bobblehead -- it was a great thing to get in the mail yesterday. :-)

This is starting to become more important to us.

That particular issue is the equipment vendor's problem: They are not writing a proper value into the snmd.conf file on their platform to report the actual device: sysObjectID OIDsets the system description or object ID for the agent. Although these MIB objects are not SNMP-writable, these directives can be used by a…

I'd like to be able to paste in a whole list of subnets (like I can individual nodes) and have it validate/add them automatically. I could generate such a list from our CMDB to create targeted discoveries

I would like an upgrade adviser I can run on the systems pre-upgrade to performs complete compatibility checks and generate a report. (like the diagnostic tool) Having those checks run while doing the upgrade leads to unexpected surprises (like the licensing issue I hit with NCM7.4/additional poller/FOE/) Being able to run…

I'm getting worried because shortly it will be the 6-year anniversary of this request... and 7 years since we installed Solarwinds We are about to update our infrastructure security plan, and now everyone has a two-factor device [required for our HR system] it's almost certainly going to be a mandatory requirement to have…

strangely enough this is one area the trap monitor has already -- the ifup and ifDown traps should already do this.

The questions is about whether NPM is the relevant solution to handle generating alerts from them.

I am truly disappointed that this has not been implemented after more than four years; I've asked customerservice about the status of this feature, as workaround have impacts on other parts of the platform and there has been more than long enough time to get this implemented. What solution are you looking at?

I was on a call with a product manager and pointed out that features I was waiting on had been 'under development' for years. They were unaware of the status on thwack The status has now been reset. I hate to suggest this, but if you really need a feature reach out to the PM directly

a good idea, but managers might have to watch out for some devices that reboot or lose management access if you hit them with the wrong credentials too often, or too fast. I'd like this to be part of a discovery process where the last-working credentials are remembered and used the next time. if that fails then try the…

It's now >>2 years since this post was made, and I've yet to see UDT 3.3 come out with the Juniper VRF support. I just got a survey about this product, which made me look here and realize how little progress there has been in 2 years.... making me ask is product development still alive?

I'd prefer a proper reporting database instead with a published schema. We can then move the historical data out of the operational databse and use standard reporting tools. Putting effort into producing a non-core product [the report writer] when there are other companies doing a better job does not seem like a good…

The UW operates three datacenters (consolidated from five), two of which are in walking distance to my office. [actually given enough time they are all in walking distance] The UW Tower Data Center is one of the ~100 Energy-star rated Data Centers in the US: UW Tower data center earns ENERGY STAR rating for 3rd straight…

that adds a MIB, but it doesn't set the Vendor or MachineType

The third would be Local System Data.

Make it virtual-instance aware. Here the layer-3 is virtualized where we have separate ruoting tables in routers for the virtual networks that overlay the physical infrastructure. this means that the Routing Tables and ARP tables only contain information for the routing instance you're in

Overhauling access control is a problem because it affects what we (may) have currently setup, which comes from a number of locations. a) account limitation builder -- this could easily be wrapped into the webUI b) Object limits (which includes one or more groups of objects) c) product [function] limits users can also only…

Would fit right in with what staff in the NOC here are empowered to do. Need support for NETCONF to do this on Juniper switches.

We're seeing more and more attacks against our infrastructure, we're moving all of our network-administrative systems to two-factor. I'd really like to enable this in the next year

my scripts that add nodes already have to grab the sysobjectID of the node (from a CMDB) -- the reason is that you have to programmatically ad the correct pollers for the node (e.g. the CPU, Memory, LLDP, routing tables, bridge tables, etc) and the only way to do that is to get the sysobjectID. If you want to solarwinds to…

The installer requires NPM 11.5 to be installed first, and that upgrade was planned for next week. I blame myself for not checking that a minor point release of UDT would work with NPM 11.0.1, so the RC install will be delayed for another couple of weeks.

Do you have updated release notes for UDT?

I am really ambivalent over this because we have airwave that does this already; Our Orion database server is wimpy in comparison with what is needed to support airwave. I'd need a way to turn it off if needed (we have over 11,000 Aruba wireless access points with over 250,000 active clients on our network on our busiest…

Would like a syslog (+ trap) action to trigger a poll on the object (node, interface, volume, etc).

yes -- checkout other posts e.g. (custom sql alert on a node; this one for a session manager being down trap in the past day) WHERE nodeid IN (SELECT nodeid FROM traps WHERE TrapType = 'AV-AURA-SESSION-MANAGER-MIB:avSessMgrCMON55002' AND DateTime > DateAdd(day, -1, Sysdatetime()) AND Acknowledged=0 )

check out APC_Battery_overvoltage.AlertDefinition this uses APC traps for battery over-voltage conditions; duplicate for the other PAC trap types you have in your environment.

Given all my devices I'm worried about support the standard POWER-ETHERNET-MIB (Juniper, HP) here is my ideal of support: 1) NCM gathers the state of POE and stores it in its database, so that it can be used for driving configuration change templates. e.g. if a port does not current have working POE on it then POE could be…
