  • I agree that would be a good idea. I'm getting this alert for every device in our internet stack in between the server(s) being backed up and the backup server. So I'll have to create a custom alert for every one of those links experiencing this high utilization. How exactly do you 'omit' a link as you describe? My…
  • dnszero, Is this what you are looking for? Are you familiar with the Orion Universal Device Poller tool? MIB Name: BGP4-MIB-bgpPeerState OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.2 I added this for our BGP devices and it gives me a state of "6" which I'm guessing means "Up" since all is well in the neighborhood. I'm still tweaking to see if…
  • Marie, Is there a way to generate a report that counts the number "down" alerts received on a particule device or a list of devices? I imagine this might be available in a more customized SQL query, but I'm not a SQL guy. And is there a way to show the overall availability of the network at the top of the report in a…
  • neilmborilla, Sometimes the provider will have web tools you can use to look at the statistics on the line. But usually these aren't very good...although they are getting better as other providers are forcing them to compete. I've spoken to several providers, and each of them is usually willing to allow you to poll the…
  • I'm assuming this is a Cisco switch? I had this problem when I was sending scripts to my devices in the field. Make sure you verify the correct steps by testing first one one device, following them manually. I found that when you type reload, you get challenged to verify that you really want to reload. For instance:…
  • Here is a snippet of one of our routers that has the NetFlow feature set. I would think that the 12.4T would work with NetFlow, but it may not...we are running 12.4(18)b on a Cisco 3845, so you may require a different IOS. Try some of these commands, in my experience if you can not enter them or they aren't there with the…
  • Have you tried digging through the syslog or event log messages being sent to you NMS to get an idea of what type of event you want to alert on? That's where I would start (and probably will as this is a great idea). Find the alert you are looking for, then customize the trigger. Good luck! William
  • We are a consumer of an MPLS network through Time Warner. Are we aloud to use names? Previously we had our MPLS through another big vendor that deals with a ton of media (again, names okay?), but Quality of Service through their network was ... umm...troublesome to keep this kid friendly. One of the main challenges we…
  • Poke Poke. Anyone get to this post yet? I know I get behind in reading through them all also. Any help would be appreciated.
  • Nevermind All. I figured it out finally. I think I was making it too complicated. If you could verify the code that would be awesome though! AVG(ResponseTime.AvgResponseTime) AS AVERAGE_of_Average_Response_Time, AVG(ResponseTime.Availability) AS AVERAGE_of_Availability, AVG(ResponseTime.PercentLoss) AS…
  • Joseph, My understanding, and I think I watched this in one of their videos, is that it's only possible to configure alerts from the console itself, and not the Web Interface. Regards, William
  • Viol8tor, It took me a couple of reads to get through this and grasp the full power of what you are doing, and I must say I was very pleased. I was also suprised that no one else responded to your post, which is top notch! Thank you very much for this contribution. I have many questions about Assigned Macro's and the…
  • Shadow, I'm also seeing this, and am still zeroing in on the problem but thought I'd throw this out there in case it help at all. Windows Server 2003 R2 server Interfaces were up and running, but I was seeing the unknown events message as you were. I tried listing resources and couldn't get a response from the server. I…
