the 4500's and 6500's support netflow pending the sup modules. correct me if i am wrong, i think only the sup 6 does NOT support net flow. also be aware LAN-Base licenses will not support exporting of net flow data. Hence, will not accept net flow cmd's. Please be sure you have IP-Base licenses installed.

in my previous role we were migration several hundred frame circuits to an MPLS network. Once the circuit was provisioned from the provider we would peform our own stress test and turn up before moving in any users. This would include testing of through-put, load, stability, etc. Several times we would determine that our…

you might try running the configuration wizard from the orion server. log in to the orion server start>programs>configuration and auto-discovery>configuration wizard. once it start select all three options to run against: Database, Website, Services.

did this work for you? i am curious if are able to see what you need to see.

this is incorrect. by separating sam and udt, you will cease to experience one of the value added features; the "single pane of glass" that Orion offers. The only pieces that I would recommend separating is the Orion database (to a full blown sql server) and the NTA flow storage database (just the database, not the…

converted to a document. Thx! Orion Server(s) recommended hardware specifications

the network atlas allows you to add "linked" background images.

For those interested here is how I did this and what it looks like at the end: * Click customize views in the upper right hand side. * Choose your column and click the green “+” to add a resource. * Choose “custom html” resource, you may have to search for it. * Click ok or submit to go back to the dashboard view. * Click…

I just used iframes and brought in the NOA map for my region (not a world wide weather map).

Yea I don't get this poller. Doesn't import anywhere.

Will SIP monitoring give the ability to monitor via mac address?

this may be helpful. , came across this looking for the same thing.

I have assisted a few that are using aws to host their npm/sam deployments.

to follow up even farther..once you have downloaded both configs you want to compare (running, and startup), you can click on one directly and then choose to compare another. this will open a compare window that will highlight the differences accordingly: then of which, you can "Export to PDF" just as I've described above…

There is a "Export to PDF" link in the upper right hand corner of the Compare Node Configs window.

as long as snmp is configured on the device(s) properly, a network discovery (which can be ran on a scheduled basis) will pick these up. 

NPM monitors interfaces. If you want port details (such as macs, and mac history) and the ability to disable ports from the console, see UDT. Device Tracker & Device Discovery Software | SolarWinds

at this time NPM heat maps do not distinguish between the two.

Here is a related KB article: SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: I am receiving errors in the Orion Web Console

I have updated an existing device template for Palo Alto 200 that do work successfully with show "set commands" in NCM here: Palo Alto_2050_200_250 - SET-1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.3.ConfigMgmt-Commands

There should be several available out of the box with in SAM. 

For those wanting to leverage NCM. Unfortunately, NCM cannot download a text based from an F5 device because this is a Binary file. NCM will not be able to process it. There has been a work around that runs a script to backup the file, but it isn't stored in the NCM database. Typically this script can transfer the file via…

this is now available in the latest version of NPM v.11.5.

You might be able to run a custom report. select IPAM events type - and then add all required fileds as "user", "event message", "event type"

If you go into the Orion console "Settings" (upper right hand corner of the console), then scroll down to the Details section and click on "Polling Engines". This will give you your polling engine stats. Including total number of elements and current polling rate. If you are over 85% polling rate it is recommended to…

I may have some test info on this soon. ill be sure to update with any results.

This can be resolved with the following steps: * Fix the missing permissions with permission checker. * Microsoft visual C++ 2013 redistributable (x86) was missing from the server (check add/remove programs in control panel), reinstalled the missing package. Then restarted the services.

which solarwinds product are you using to monitor your application? I assume SAM. If this is a windows based applications you should be able to leverage WMI. It is possible create custom templates with in SAM for this purpose.
