none -- I have six MLXe running in MLX system mode running 5.4 and 5.7 that work fine (though we are using snmpv2). error messages?

Alert suppression doesn't work like you think it does. if the condition under suppress alerts is true for ANY object (node in your case), then it suppresses this alert from triggering for any node. you need to move the condition into the trigger rule so alerts only fire for THIS object (node) if its CPU is high, and it…

I'm also interested in portal access; the additional web server component doesn't really provide a portal, just one way of separating the web front-end from the application. Issues I face: One of the issues I face is that a person, with one login, may have several different roles, so thei view of the network needs to pre…

Yes, it was. the SQL queries to resolve access rights were truly horrible We stopped using it. -> the groups were being built dynamically off custom properties anyway, so we moved to using the custom properties directly.

challenging: Orion really expects one IP to match one node -- so if you can manage the nodes in NPM through the SNMP proxy they should appear as separate nodes in UDT, and allow you to manage their ports individually. I found I had to put the IP addresses+unique community strings on separate pollers for this to work (this…

We have ~20 G350's, though we only monitor the physical uplink interfaces on them (I've not has a problem with interfaces going into an unknown state)

you get this if you display interface data on a node that is down (or unmanaged) Basically the last data polled was too long ago

Please search for my previous posts on how to generate Alerts based on SNMP traps. Got that? okay assuming you've found one where I talk about coloring the set and reset traps I'm going to move on from there... In this case you need to be able to generate a test trap of the right type -> some equipment vendors have a test…

check out this thread: Re: Desktop Notifications for Orion I get a nice little popup on my desktop even if I don't have a current open window on Solarwinds.

Personally I hate the way the wizard dinks around recreating indexes on my tables (on additional pollers), locking them up and making the whole upgrade process sequential. Can we move the database editing stuff into an option in the wizard so we don't have to fight this every update.

Yes. you are going to have to punch holes through their firewall to allow the additional poller to reach the solarwinds application server, and the SQLserver database: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/SolarWindsPortRequirements.pdf you'll have to remember to run discovery, etc for their network based on…

I've been playing around with IPAM for the past day and it doesn't automatically move the subnets into a supernet that you create or import. You have to do that manually (if that was what you were asking). You can select a group of them and update their parent to be the [right] supernet

No, but we've just signed a contract with ServiceNow... ServiceNow also has a REST API that might also be worth looking at (using the GET or POST URL action)... You might need to resort to using a powershell script so you can tie a ticket number back to the alert... ... so I'll be real interested in your integration once…

I add all of our interfaces as 'pluggable' this makes them only flagged as being up when they are up. Once an interface is 'up' it gets flagged as 'unpluggable' (separate job) so we then get down laert -- saves the console from being overwhelmed by newly deployed interfaces that we've not yet gotten plugged in. If you also…

Because you have it enabled & assigned to some nodes. I find it annoying too, vote my idea up:

Instead of thinking about the availability of a switch, router, or web server instead think about the availability of the service. if you're running multi-active data centers were user requests can be serviced out of any of them then you can do quite substantial work in a data center without affecting users, in that case…

I recommend CatieM20's talk from Monitorama2016: Monitorama Live Stream Day 1 - YouTube All alerts have actions, even if the action is to delete the alert. I also recommend the Checklist Manifesto as a way of ensure the right Actions are carried out when alerts go off. (recommended by both Catie and my sister) In my…

How does one go about monitoring memcached stats in OpenNMS? - Server Fault

As far as I know you cannot -- I periodically use the UDT Manage Nodes to find unmonitored nodes and add them there. I've asked for a UDT API for a while, but there have not been updates to the product for a couple of years now.

You can only do this through the API. This will require some programming and loss of hair (see my photo)

[EDIT: added missing group by clauses] let's break down what i think you want: a) find ONE subnet with at least two free IP addresses b) return the first two free IP addresses on that subnet a) would give a query like this: SELECT TOP 1 N.subnetid, Count(*) AS freeipCount FROM ipam.subnet S INNER JOIN ipam.ipnode N ON…

I think Josh Stephens has not been at SolarWinds for about a year.

Yes. ;-) a) gut yourself a copy of SWQL studio from the SDK b) write a query the returns the correct values from Orion.NodeIPAddresses and Orion.Nodes select blah, blah. blah from Orion.NodeIPAddresses NI inner join Orion.Nodes N on NI.Nodeid=N.Nodeid where blah blah blah are the columns you want in your report. note: I do…

Has this been resolved -- this Just started doing this in our environment (CASE#1360037) I'll try it with WCF debugging turned on if you need more output, but in our environment there are a lot of users... Richard

see SQL 2012 Support and Orion Platform based products (i.e., NPM, SAM, etc.) and also I think you'll have to upgrade to NPM 10.3.1 or later before the upgrade if you're just moving the database, or 10.4 or later if you're also move to the server.

1. ping will still work to them, so SW will not flag them as down (unless you have switched to SNMP polling for up) 2. You can use the manage nodes screen, select multiple nodes, and edit them at once Manage Nodes -> group by Community -> pick the community you are changing -> Edit Properties -> checkbox next to 'Polling…

Without knowing the power of the systems, I'd move as much polling as I could to server 2 Then I'd look at the database performance: make sure you're running raind 10 with separate arrays for Data, Log (and System/Temp) make sure the database servers are not synchronous (requiring every commit to work on both systems.…

You can only do this as a custom SQL alert <-- by now people will realize that this is my answer to any tricky alerting question. something like [UNTESTED -- as we don't have anything down right now to try this on!] Node Down alert: Set: SELECT * FROM nodes WHERE nodeid IN (SELECT nodeid FROM nodesdata ND WHERE ND.status =…

IfName like 'st0.%' the SQL wildcard is '%' and like introduces it.

What interface alias? how are you displaying the table?
