Plans for ISC DHCP and DNS server support?

the rollup information is stored here: SELECT * FROM [dbo].[StatusInfo] if you have it set to 'worst' status then Unmanaged nodes get the value of '29', up nodes the value of '1', and down nodes a value of '0' so if all nodes in a 'worst status' group are unmanaged the group will be unmanaged so if some nodes in a 'worst…

Yes. FGA: Only ask questions with yes/no answers if you want "yes" or "no" as the answer.

We use something home grown, Granite OSS, and are implementing an ITSM toolsuite... The following project looks interesting: Kuwaiba | Network Inventory for the Masses Richard

We add new devices to NPM and NCM using the API from our CMDB, so they can be up/down monitored. - the LLDP poller is added to nodes so LLDP data is collected by NPM We use NCM to periodically perform a Node Inventory, this collects all the interfaces on a node. We then have a report that combines these two, finds matching…

Are you sure Interface Alias has the correct value? this is the ifDescr from the device, and I find things like extra spaces, or " characters throw things off. I find it useful to switch an alert to 'custom SQL' and copy the SQL query into a Database manager query window and fine-tune the conditions there. [You don't need…

NetObjectType = 'C' which means this is a container, and you should join with the container, and not node... As far as I can tell there is no easy way to find the members of a container [Group in the UI] that caused group status to change best is containers inner join ContainerMemberSnapShots inner join Nodes where…

I'd get the value, and then use the value returned in an alert checks. make a custom SQL alert on the Custom node poller and specify a condition like this: where CustomPollerName='upsAdvOutputCurrent'and status = 1and cast(CurrentValue as int) & 0x02 = 0x02 (generates alerts on UPS who have an current power draw that have…

hrProcessorLoad is: "The average, over the last minute, of the percentage of time that this processor was not idle. Implementations may approximate this one minute smoothing period if necessary." It may be that the system really was running at 100% for a minute, but by the time you looked at it the load had dropped down...…

the following works: [aside from caption the post is uploading a whole bunch of custom properties for a Node Down alert to a web service. The things to note are the ${CR} for a new line and I think this is posted as text/plain which might not be what your web server is expecting to get in a post

Is the ping-reply address the same as the ping-query address? what version of NPM? in 10.3.1 and earlier I had to chenge this setting in file %ProgramFiles(x86)%\SolarWinds\Orion\SolarWinds.Orion.Discovery.Job.dll.config And change the line <add key="SkipNodesWhenIcmpReturnedFromAnotherAddress" value="1"/> to <add…

the way to do this is a custom SWQL query this will generate an alert when atleast 10 nodes are down in a group: WHERE containerid IN (SELECT containerid FROM (SELECT groups.containerid, Count(*) AS down FROM orion.groups AS Groups INNER JOIN orion.containermembersnapshots CMS ON groups.containerid = CMS.containerid INNER…

the Data is held in these tables: (basically custompollerStatistics, but if you know what timescale you're reporting over you can go to the agregated data tables)

EVENTTIME > dateadd(day,-30,getdate())

three things: a) node status is determined by ICMP-PING b) if you have the wrong SNMP community set then the node will respond to PING, but the LastSystemUpTimePollUtc will be wrong c) if there is some other problem with SNMP polling then LastSystemUpTimePollUtc will not be updated Also, you should avoid doing math on…

If Orion is slow then look at your database server -- what is it doing? Alert evaluation and actions are only executed on the main application server, so beefing up a polling engine will not improve performance there. The alert evaluations should be hitting indexes and recent data in the database -- your sqlserver should…

I'm interested in better Juniper switch stack monitoring; extremely willing to send you snmpwalks of EX4200/EX4500/EX4550 in stacking configurations

Install the SDK on a desktop system and read the documentation, including the examples. The SDK is for the use of a programmer who understands REST/CRUD/SOAP -- the documentation is fairly clear on what it does. I would advise installing it on a workstation and running any program you write against a development/test…

I've never seen that What version? which screen? can you cut less of the display?

my 2cents... if I were to rebuild our SQL server I would do it like this: c:\ mirrored SSD [+dbtemp] d:\ mirrored SSD [DBdata] e:\ mirrored SSD [DBlog] f:\ mirrored 4TB SATA [DBbackup] SSD enterprise drives have come down in price enough for me to think that going for large numbers of spinning spindles doesn't buy…

Traps can be tied to external nodes (tried, works) Traps can also change the state of INTERFACES on nodes (not useful in this case) Traps can run external programs (not tried) External programs can update the database (tried) You could use the SWAPI to change the status of a node to down.(not tried)

I make use of Trap Receiver running on a server (the one controlling the four large screens in the NOC) to receive a 'trap' from the alert manager and explode it to workstations in the NOC. The workstations have the same program running that then fires a local action (in my case I have a WebMail Notifier | Dream Cheeky…

Run the product upgrade advisor... Product Upgrade Advisor | SolarWinds Customer Portal I get the following warnings with the path you're proposing.Installed Network Performance Monitor 12.3 is incompatible with Server & Application Monitor 6.4. Installed Network Configuration Manager 7.8 is incompatible with Server &…

No -- We have a separate process that retrieves the device information (that predates Solarwinds) If I were to do this in Solarwinds I would make use of the inventory collection from the NCM product to populate the CMDB -- this should be quite straightforward using the API to generate some select statements. (unfortunately…

I think this is the start of work to allow the mapping of SysObjectID onto Vendor,MachineType, and the vendor-specific pollers. e.g. if Juniper add a new router I could specify what OIDS to poll for these values. (see the announcement of whats-planned for post-10.7)

What have you tried? What version of NPM? My alert in NPM 11.5.2 looks something like this:

as far as I know there is not one. [I looked at the MIBs and could not see any summary or peer count information in BGP4-V2-MIB-JUNIPER

No: UDT lacks a API with invoke (or write/update/delete) functions :-(

We have 484 containers. most of these are built off filter like this: Group name: Filter 'MC HMC' filter:/Orion.Nodes[CustomProperties.Building='HMC' AND CustomProperties.Sector='MC'] --- we have a smaller number (<<10) of groups eg 'MC' that contain all of the 'MC xxx' groups added as individual members the UW has ~320…
