Who asked it? Is it someone we know?

We actually copied the gifs into folders in the user's application data folder on the SolarWinds web server....like this: C:\Documents and Settings\Your_Username\Application Data\SolarWinds\NetworkAtlas\Maps\Orion\localhost\NetObjects\User Graphics\Building\Icon.gif ** I wanted to clarify that the "\Building" sub-folder is…

Thanks Andy.

I agree with Deverts. If you're not using "View by Device Type", I believe you really should be. It can make a huge difference in Node Details page load times because you're not loading resources for a node that don't pertain to it. I actually break it out by platform because, for example, a 6509 switch will have resources…

Thanks Brandon!

Hi anakin! In the Solarwinds NPM database, there is a table called SysLogRules. That table contains the custom alerts/actions you have set up, including email alerts and discarding messages... Romeo

Full Name gives the interface name and the description combined.

Are you sure it's only pulling monitored interfaces? I would expect you to get values for all interfaces. Can you show a screen cap of the next step where you test against a node? EDIT: oh wow! I get the same result on the Node Details page. I even checked in the CustomPollerStatus table and I only have 3 interfaces being…

I had started working on a similar idea with network equipment, specifically chassis, where I drew out the pieces in Visio as well.What I plan to do some day is have a script in the back end that runs a tool like Image Magick or GD and dynamically builds the picture that is shown based on polled data. I think the same…

Hi! I would recommend contacting Metro and tell them what you are seeing. They can tell you if that is normal, and what is considered acceptable/usable, at least by their standards.

You might want to look in the NPM database at the raw data for the UnDP(s), and the polled data itself. Might give some clue as to what is going on. EDIT: I just noticed you already looked into that. If you cant access the Database Manager, do you have access to the SQL server itself or do you have permissions for remote…

According to Technet, this is a Windows file: What is wfpdiag.etl

This thread shows how to add to the URL to export to Excel: How to Export NPM Report Writer Data to Excel (xls or csv)???

Ahhh, I can't remember if this will stop them from showing up in the active alerts view, but it will not send a notification. Check the "Unpluggable" checkbox in the interface details for both interfaces. You'll still get statistics. Romeo

I am also currently searching for this answer. I found an older KB article for 9.5, but there is no NPM_Devices table in our installation. Thanks, Romeo

I love digging up old threads. Anyway, I am replying here because I had the same question as the OP. I found what I needed by combining what I learned from several other threads that are similar. This was my original query that was based on the example in the Solarwinds online help. ${SQL:Select MachineType From Nodes} You…

I would definitely call SolarWinds tech support and open a case on this one. But you might try repairing your installs on your web server from the "Programs and Features" or "Add or Remove Programs" section of the Windows control panel. I'm note sure exactly which module you'd need repair, though. I typically repair…

I still have not figured out the exact use for the Alert Suppression tab. It doesn't work the way people usually thinks it does. But, to do what you are wanting, I would add this rule in the Trigger Conditions: Create a condition group that says "Trigger Alert when none of the following apply". Then, under the condition…

If you do a packet capture, you will be able to see the OIDs in the SNMP get requests and responses, as long as you are not using SNMPv3 with encryption. Actually, even if you are using encryption, you can still see the payload if you know the key and input it into your capture tool. I ran into a problem with the latest…

Our server team has their own instance of Solarwinds, but I know they monitor both physical and virtual. Virtual memory usage can be an indication of an active problem or configuration issue just as much as physical memory usage. Even if you are not necessarily alerting on virtual memory usage, the trending data can be…

Hi contracer. Can you show the command you are using along with output to determine % FS used?

Good info! I am definitely going to apply this methodology. I have only been doing NMS tools for less than 3 years now, but I am finding that the more tools I manage, and the deeper I get into it, the more time I am spending working with the database itself.

I started with this MIB for detailed module info: MIB-2-ENTITY-MIB. I did a walk on this OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.13, to get info about the modules. I started with this MIB for module status: CISCO-ENTITY-FRU-CONTROL-MIB. I did a walk on this OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.117.1.2.1.1.2 to get the status of the modules. As you do a…

Are you using a custom property to hold the threshold value? If not, I am not sure I understand the use case. Whenever I set a threshold in the alert manually on the trigger condition tab, I just use the same logic and say in the email body " threshold = xx Mbps".

Thanks for the replies! Dave, this confirms that we do have some performance issue somewhere. I am collecting more data on our setup to isolate the various aspects to investigate. I have also been reading the Managing Orion Performance PDF. That guide suggests that the NPM database should be around 20GB in size. I know…

Hi. This doesn't require any actual SQL. The filters are really only a small subset. Since you are only wanting to see nodes down, here is what you would want to put in that field: Status=2 When you ask about multiple queries, I am not sure what you mean. If you are wanting to filter on multiple fields, you can do that…

Hi noobes! Yes you can filter. The way that I know of is if you click the Edit button in the Nodes with Problems resource, you can use a SQL filter.

I can clear my browser cache, and my personal summary page takes 5 seconds to load from the moment I hit enter. Details pages vary, depending on what resources are shown (we're using Node Details by machine type), but they are anywhere from 5 seconds for a 3750 to about 10 seconds for a fully loaded Nexus 7k. Of course…

I ran into this and what I did to validate was to run the report 2 different ways. First I run it as "Last Month" and then I chose a custom time frame spanning the 1st day of last month to the last day with a time of 11:59:59pm. For the reports that I did this with, they checked out. Did you run the first report on the…

Hi Lauren, What OID(s) are failing? What platform are you trying to poll? What exactly is happening? Are you getting an error, or no data? Romeo
