The trap receiver does accept traps from unmanaged nodes -- the nodeid is set to 0 (zero)

We do something similar for our BGPv4 peers with 10.3 (and it still seems to work after out 10.5 upgrade this week) Some of the peers are exteral/unpolled nodes so we can add custom properties to them (like the contact information for the remote NOC)

Yes, in fact an additional poller is the only way one can monitor different nodes with the same IP address. I believe there is a limited-entity count licence for exactly this purpose.

Could you add the software versions of NPM (and UDT) to your post -- we've an extensive Aruba install (almost 10,000 wireless APS's) and they are being discovered OK (through polling the controllers) with 10.6.1

My suggestion would be to write a [powershell?] script that would perform the action you needed and set a custom property; SWO could then use the custom properties to trigger other alerts. e.g. dial the modem if a reply then set a custom property to one value if no reply then set a custom property to a different value I…

ToUTC(Supp.SuppressFrom) >= TOLOCAL(GETDATE()) it looks like you're converting The local date to UTC and the UTC to local. decide what time you want your query to run in and convert each time element into that. so, probably either Supp.SuppressFrom) >= TOLOCAL(GETDATE()) or ToUTC(Supp.SuppressFrom) >= GETDATE() tip: put…

windows firewall blocking it? trap rule filtering and discarding them? I'm getting traps fine from devices that I'm not expecting them from

Simply click on 'edit node' and the community strings appear there.

I'm going to ask a fundamental question here: it's 2018 2019, and we still can't edit these directly in the tool and add them ourselves? From what I can tell there's an internal database in the product itself that sets parameters about what pollers and abilities the device supports: why can't that be externalized into a…

Yes, I'm sure then is: by having an script run somewhere that pulls the information out of Orion and populates ServiceNow. The challenge is the business rules for what you want imported, and what should get over-written. I do not know if anyone has done this (since our CMDB is populating TO both ServiceNow and Solarwinds…

My staff have noticed this too with 10.4.2; I think it's exactly 10 days later that it re-fires.

Having run a NOC, one of the questions is 'why is this still configured if it is not being used' but, no, there's no easy way to do this. The alternative is to have nodes for each of the BGP peers, external nodes for the ones you don't want to actively monitor. you would then use alerts on the nodes if the BGP peering with…

It uses the label you assigned to the table poller when you created it to graph the data together, otherwise it uses a rowid, which is normally the last number of the OID.

add the remote IP address as an icmp-only node and it will ping it every few minutes.

We make extensive use of Airwave; we have over 10,000 wireless access points scattered across three campuses, four hospitals, a couple of hundred buildings/floors. issues: 1. it is time-consuming to load the autocad drawings and AP locations (mostly completed, would not like to have to duplicate) 2. responsiveness of the…

you have not added any pollers... as a minimum (for a node) you will need 'N.ResponseTime.ICMP.Native' and 'N.Status.ICMP.Native' $swis->Create("Orion.Pollers", { 'PollerType'=>$poller, 'NetObject'=>"N:$node", 'NetObjectType'=>'N', 'NetObjectID'=>$node })); for each type of node you will have to figure out the right…

yes.

if you have NCM there are also the command templates used to downlaod configurations.

it is sending a trap. the format of the trap is the 'ForwardSyslog' format trap (this is defined/modified using the SW Engineers Toolset)

As a further data point SELECT distinct [NodeID] ,[Index] ,[ParentIndex] FROM [SolarWindsOrion].[dbo].[Wireless_Interfaces_DAILY] which appears to be the non-date/data columns from the table is over 216,000 rows, which also seems high.

What version of UDT? have you altered any of the UDT timeouts? how large is your 3750?

create an advanced SQL report with something like this in it: Select count(*) as apCount, ap.controller From NPM_NV_WL_APS AP where ap.WirelessType='Thin' and ap.status=1 group by ap.controller if you need more details then NPM_NV_WL_APS is the starting point -- though it's not very well populated with information on my…

1) more useful 2) could take less space 3) none (customization -> take you to external tools, e.g. a provisioning system) 4) Node / interface details page 5) Yes 6) Nothing, I'm not really a fan of hovers showing lots of information. I like them to be small, light, and FAST

What do you mean by large and complex? Size of a European country? every network technology from DSL through 100Gbps DWDM? couple of thousand switches? couple of hundred routers? VRFS? lots of IPv6? Answer these questions: 1. Can it manage everyhting we have? 2. Can it manage everything the way we have it configured (or do…

NPM 11.5 is a big upgrade and is required before UDT 3.2.1 UDT 3.2.1 is not GA, and is likely to be replaced by UDT 3.2.2, never making it to GA.

There's not really enough information for us to diagnose the issue here. FGA: Please follow the standard litany when giving a problem report. What are the ACTUAL values being polled - what are the actual OIDS - what is the actual returned values - are you using Get (and not GetNext -- which is probably harmful in this…

Many years ago I would get the groups on our overview map go yellow, and then clear as Solarwinds had problems polling the nodes. I reported this to the network engineers, who dismissed this as a solarwinds polling issue, and I got steadily more frustrated. It started happening more frequently, and sometimes bits of our…

You are going to have to modify their user permissions in solarwinds settings -> modify users -> {user} then a) setup their limitations if there are only some nodes (good video tutorial on the solarwinds site on this) and b) customize the menubar & views -> you may need to create an additional menubar and views with only…

NPM could poll for the ARP data, and might be fairly efficient at it, but the pollers would have to cope with possibly large volumes of data. note: if you have VRFS (we have well over 50) then polling arp data using SNMP will be challenging (and potentially very expensive), depending on which manufacturer you are using,…
