Hi, This tool will only be able to configure Cisco routers, not switches. It means you will have to configure NetFlow manually on them. Here is good doc to start from for the 6509 one: Enabling NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export on Cisco Catalyst Switches HTH, Yann

Hi Dan, I checked the case you opened and it looks like issue has been solved for the advanced alerts. The action "Send an Email/Page" was configured for the Trigger actions but missing for the reset ones. I just wanted to share this with other users in case someone come across the same issue.

 The Universal Device Poller uses the Job Engine and the Job Scheduler to perform its tasks. The issue is probably related to those two services. Ensure that the Job Engine and the Job Scheduler are running. You should first check the UnDP log files: \Program Files\Solarwinds\Orion\UniversalDevicePoller.log If you see an…
