I included an attachment; I didn't filter anything on the first couple of tabs, so it selected all traps. I'm sorry, but you need to look in the logs and see what your trap server is doing, because i can assure you this worked.

Have you put bandwidth statements on the tunnel interface definition on your (cisco) router?

C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\Logs\Orion\... You have to keep a close eye on the UDT logs because there is very little tracking of errors outside of what is reported in the logfiles. i.e. it could be silently failing, and you would not know it.

in the database editor something like: <span class="kwd" style="color:#00008b;">ALTER</span><span class="pln"> </span><span class="kwd" style="color:#00008b;">TABLE</span><span class="pln"> nodes</span><span class="pln"><br /></span><span class="kwd" style="color:#00008b;">ADD</span><span class="pln"> </span><span…

It should be TimeTicks (CentiSeconds), at least that is what the MIB says it should be: ObjecthrSystemUptimeOID1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1TypeTimeTicksPermissionread-onlyStatuscurrentMIBHOST-RESOURCES-MIBDescription"The amount of time since this host was last initialized. Note that this is different from sysUpTime in the SNMPv2-MIB…

does NCM/v3 support Cirrus.Nodes.AddNodeToNCM.

you need to engage the sales org at Solarwinds to lend you a SE to help your evaluation of NPM On linux systems running net-snmp process status can be exposed to Solarwinds; custom pollers and trap alerts will get you 95% of the way there. On windows systems I think the same information is exposed through the OID…

Oh my! There really should be an architectural diagram on how FOE works. What it does: it replicates the files, directories, and registry settings that contain configuration information. It does not replicate other registry settings, service installs, binaries, etc. So, you upgrade the active servers, then switch active…

I think the problem is that you have not setup your Universal device poller settings correctly. Can you post screenshots of how you setup your pollers, customer poller table viewer, and results of your SQL query? Which MIB table? what is the OID? Have you used the 'label' option in the universal device poller to say which…

Check this out: Intel IPS Engines with NPM 11.5.1 you can have custom node details poller, and here is one that will retrieve suitable values for intel/McAfee Intruvert IPS engines, set the machine type, and other node details properly (even retreiving the odd location for the sysObjectID) I've not figured out how to set…

Commas are missing from the example given (and the quotes are some funny character) If you don't understand SQL I'm kind of reticent to give this kind of instruction because mistakes could break a lot of stuff I would go into the database manager on the server and use the editor because you can change the values…

read the compatibility matrix referenced above. Your NCM version is too old to let you upgrade NPM to 11.0.1 and you can't upgrade NCM to 7.3.1 until you have upgraded to NPM11.0.1 Upgrade Path with NPM NCM 7.0.2 + NPM 10.6 ⇒ NCM 7.2.2 ⇒ NPM 11.0.1 ⇒ NCM 7.3.1 so, you need to upgrade NCM twice

The SQL for Dummies book is really quite a good introduction; I find it steers one away from vendor-specific SQL. I've personally avoided temp tables, mostly because in many environments the DBA do not like them, and the databases I was used to work with usually had a couple of TB of data. The other think I would recommend…

After viewing the tutorial on how to use the advanced alert manager you should be able to do the following: In the Advanced alert manager create a new alert as shown in the Tutorial. In the Drop-down that says 'Type of property to monitor' pick 'Custom SQL Alert' Next Pick the trigger query (pick 'Node'.) You then put in…

yes it's the same thing.

the Trap server still doesn't fully support IPv6 -- it does not correctly decode IPv6 address elements in TrapVarBinds.

That answer was a bit flippant because it's so variable. In my environment the database and solarwinds servers are physical servers and are fairly powerful with a lot of memory and good network infrastructure between them. We don't reboot the database servers very often, and when we do it's normally to apply patches. We…

agreed -- we have the actual UPS model number in a spreadsheet Here we have decided to import it as a custom property so when the UPS indicates that its battery needs replacing we can cut the ticket directly. Solarwinds can only take us so far: as customers we need to gripe at the [UPS] manufacturer to expose useful…

I think that you will be unhappy with this install on that hardware; I foresee that will be back here complaining the performance of your installation is bad, that our advice was bad, and that Solarwinds/Orion sucks. I am sorry, but as a professional I do not have enough information about your environment to design a…

Outage/downtime tracking reports -> if the switch that was down is removed from the database we lose that information Historical trending of interface data -> replacing a switch with a different model doesn't generally work because the interfaceindexes all change and there is no [builtin] tool to remap the old…

I've documented what we did, and shared the checklist we used for our MOP here: Solarwinds Upgrade Checklist with FOE I've included the state of the FOE, replication, and primary/neverfail NIC interface at each step for clarity. We used the DELL DRAC to get remote console into the servers as this works all of the time,…

I RDP between the pair of systems the control channel IP address: that means I don't need to have FOE running on both servers between the upgrades and have replication break the 'upgrade'. Local user accounts are your friend there... The instructions tell you to go into the network control panel to 'enable' the inactive…

Events != Alerts If your alert setting has to wait for 5 minutes before sending an email for an over-utilization alert you will get a difference, this report works off events. google is your friend... DATEADD (Transact-SQL) I'd try something like ... StartTime.EventTime between dateadd(week,-1, getdate()) and getdate() ...…

Thank you ... # of odd errors in my syslog logfile down to zero /RjL

start a new thread -- unless you are running a really old version of Solarwinds it's unlikely yhe answer to an install from 2015 is the answer you need right now. Also, just because a node is polled using ICMP does not mean that it can't send traps, or random UDP packets to the servers on port 162. You may need to run…

Yes, on all five polling servers. It made no (negative) difference to the system: this is about logging rather than actual work being acheived. It stopped filling my disks :-) /RjL

The OID poller in the webUI only works for CPU and memory. anything else you have to use the UnDP

Actually, that is kind of scary: xkcd: Exploits of a Mom

1. get it working from the command line using curl 2. get it working in solarwinds right now you're trying to troubleshoot something using a black-box approach; that might work for computer science student projects but fails in the real world. Once you have input that creates a ticket you may need to up the debug logging…

Sorry you have that pain -- in my environment network management runs in its own VLANS and has QoS applied, so we get a guaranteed chunk of bandwidth (if the network is melting down due to a broadcast storm, we can at least log in to our switches and shut down offending ports -- I can't tell you how good this is on a large…
