Groups are containers used for grouping, and can have Custom Properties set on them, they can contain nodes,interfaces, etc under them (I have several hundred groups) External Nodes are useful if you have something you need to refer to in another alert (e.g. a BGP peer like your ISP that you might not want/be able to…

You have to use some custom SQL, unfortunately it's really hard for me to give an example of without actual data a) I use color codes on traps in the trap manager to identify the set and clear trap types b) then I check the color coding of the trap to match the set and reset conditions... [I don't have prism optical…

I use a custom SQL alert on nodes. Where[status] in ('1' , '3' )and unmanaged=0and DATEDIFF(MINUTE,LastSystemUpTimePollUtc,GETDATE()) >60 so if the think stops responding to SNMP polls of it's lastSystemUptime for an hour then we get an alert for it

AFAICS LLDP-MED itself is not gathered automatically, only LLDP state. if you need LDDP-MED then you'll have to define a custom poller to pull that data and then use the custom poller tables. for LLDP the SWQL is something like: SELECT NodeID, LocalPortNumber, RemoteIfIndex, RemotePortId, RemotePortDescription,…

This isn't really a function of NPM -- it doesn't capture flow data. that's a function of NTA. look at enabling netflow on your border router and pointing it at NTA... that can show some interesting traffic patterns. Also, who really owns the IP addresses you are using? If you own your own IP addresses [i.e. you have been…

Assuming you only have the one device at the remote site then you could use ssh port forwarding to create a virtual connection between the two sites. This is untested, but could be a starting point... ssh on one connects to a sshd on the other using port 443 and then you make use of UDP port forwarding like this: Peter V.…

our APE servers appear to have spare CPU and memory -- if I needed additional polling power then stacking might make sense. If you're in a virtual environment and MS licences are cheap it might not...

Is the 10.70.70.0/24 network at both sites connected together? i.e. can you ping from 10.70.70.113 to 10.70.70.213

In general these are all caused by bugs in the solarwinds installer or application, and people should open tickets with solarwinds support. I get this all of the time because some interfaces have NULL values in either the interfacetypedescription or interfacetypename and the Views by Device Type setting control crashed…

Check this page out:

As says: open a support ticket. Have you done an NPM upgrade recently? The last time I had this, the only way to get it fixed was for someone from SolarWinds support to set a variable in the XML file that drives the configuration to force it to re-install everything. Attempting to repair the install of various components…

Yes, someone knows. no, they are not deduplicated (and they cannot be with any degree of accuracy; any software that makes this claim is simply 'guessing')

What make/model of switches? -> I assume this isn't a cisco or juniper switch? What happens when you do a 'list resources' on a switch? does it offer the option of monitoring CPU and memory? -> is 'CPU and memory something you can monitor? What version of NPM? -> 11.5 allows you to define custom pollers

adding distinct to a query is seldom the right answer to duplicate rows if you were not expecting duplicate rows. Your query returns the worst performing signal strength for a client ever. I am not sure this is useful. I'm almost sure you want something like [untested] SELECT top 30 h.Name as Client_Name, c.MAC as…

No, but I'm interested in this -- actually I'm looking for a proper reporting solution for solarwinds because web-based reporting isn't cutting it for me, neither is the ease with which data disappears from the database (e.g. pretty much at the whim of a solarwinds developer) anyone built a datawarehouse for reporting? Any…

With Juniper equipment topology generation is somewhat broken -- on the L2 equipment the MAC address information is stored at the unit (.0 or vlan) level rather than the physical interface level, and doesn't make use of the LLDP information. this means that if you want the error stats you have to monitor the physical, and…

There are currently several things that get 'scheduled' in different parts of solarwinds: NCM = backup + reports + export + policy report generation + timed execution NPM = discovery IPAM + NPM + UDT = polling for data ALL = Database maintenance what i personally would like is for this functionality to brought into one…

This should only generate one alert for the node if the conditions remain true for the whole time. With advanced alerts the alert state is maintained for (alert-name,objectid) [where objectid is a the nodeid in this case] So as long as the alert does not get reset you get the one alert -> What are your reset conditions? ->…

yes.

with later versions of NPM you can make use of the Audit records to do this... SELECT *FROM AuditingEvents AE INNER JOIN AuditingActionTypes AAT ON AE.ActionTypeID=AAT.ActionTypeIDWHERE AAT.ActionType='Orion.NodeAdded' After that you just need to keep audit records for long enough... you get columns like this:…

The IPAM product doesn't support Update or create operations. We're going to be looking at alternatives in the next year because the lack of a full API for IPAM has become a show-stopper.

Assuming they don't mean removing remote desktop access, just membership of the all-powerful administartors group then I feel they should be providing you a workaround, and I think there are ways around everything you've listed * it's possible using a group policy to grant service management rights to a user/group e.g.…

for linkstate traps there is an action (not configured by default) for the trap receiver to change the interface state in receipr of ifUP (and a different one for ifDown). Configure those in the trap receiver and interface state will change more rapidly. there isn't this functionality for nodes (but only UPS send 'almost…

it looks to me like whatever library is allocating/managing memory for dynamic data structures is using a 'n*2' type strategy -- when the runtime library cannot fulfill a memory request from its own heap it requests more free space from the operating system in ever-larger chunks. This means that you see a process jump in…
