So sad I'll never see wabbott​ show up in my Inbox anymore.....

Test/Dev licenses are all fine and dandy but if you don't necessarily have the physical hardware for it or the resources to get it for you, I'd like to see an add-on module in the Orion platform that would act as a virtual sandbox environment.

An epiphany hit the executive level team at 14K feet while on a hiking trip leading the data center team into the "SDN Unknown". One of the most helpful implementations we've delivered, since the directive to "run all environments (dev/test, prod, gen lab) on the same hardware platform" came down from above, has been the…

I'm a network engineer not a sysadmin but this is kind of a funny story. So I brought my 8yr old daughter to work with me a couple months ago for Bring Your Kid to Work day. It was pretty sweet as the company I work for had a ton of workshops for the kids so they got an idea of what the business does etc. She sat with me…

Any plans on coming to Denver in the near future? I know Federal is coming to Colorado Springs for a trade show but it'd be nice to have a SWUG here in Denver that's just for us "regular" guys.

However, I hope we aren't scheduled to be eliminated for an interstellar highway..... Welcome yumdarling​! I try to be as active on Thwack as I possibly can, which regrettably isn't very much, but everyone I've had the pleasure of meeting (either online or in person at the Atlanta SWUG) has been absolutely wonderful and…

New platform doesn't play well with Chrome browser.... It just loads a blank page. But other than that it looks great! **Turns out it was residual cookies on my machine!!! Many thanks to Danielle & team for doing a webex and finding the solution quickly!!! Now I don't have to open IE EVER!!**

To expand on this idea.... We have MFA policies in place that block all SSH access to devices unless a request is made on a jumpbox (web server) that then opens the session from there. If an option for SSH inventory polling was created, it would be even better if there was an EASIER way to integrate with MFA etc.

Agree with @"Seashore" , kinda hard to follow... I'm working on a query for SSL certs hosted on F5 LTMs. I need to be alerted 2 weeks before the expiration date so we can renew the cert and install on the F5s. I created a UnDP to query for the ssl cert info but found that the expiration date in the table is actually given…

I figured it out... You have to set up the F5 with the R/W string but then add it to Solarwinds as R/O... And I think maybe NCM can't be used otherwise it will give you an error. But that part I haven't tested yet so... I'm just happy I got the devices added!

Ok, so we can set up custom macros at the global level but is there a way to set them in the device template? Or do you have to do it in as config change template? I have a situation where I need to add a user/password macro to a bunch of devices but due to the different models & code versions, each one is slightly…

There are so many things you can do with an API it's hard to limit it to one thing.... At this point, just getting it connected on the backend would be efifng amazing, :-) One of the biggest draws for me to the API is being able to automate a lot of our CMDB stuff. I know Solarwinds integrates with ServiceNow but there's…

Try almost 6000 subnets... Each as its own file.

That's really strange. Are you downloading the configs via SSH or SNMP? A Connection Refused error usually means something's blocking it either by IP or protocol.

My pages do the same thing. I just assumed it was because the MPE doesn't have access to the web...

I updated from 2018.blah to 2019.4 and had issues with my APEs as well. When I ran the installer it installed a lot more than it should've and brought everything down.... Called TS and Keith Baker (shoutout since he fixed me) was able to help me get the pollers uninstalled completely. Then I ran the installer again and all…

I get an error message saying the file is not a valid .xls, .xls, or .csv & to open it in Excel & save it as one of those formats. But the file IS a .xlsx. I've also tried the other formats but get the same error. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Here's a script I created to create groups based on node location. $hostname = 'localhost' if (!$creds) { $creds = Get-Credential # display a window asking for credentials } $swis = Connect-Swis -Credential $creds -Hostname $hostname # CREATING A NEW GROUP # # Creating a new group with initial Cisco and Windows devices. #…

Yes, I saw that example... But I'm not quite sure how I'd apply it to creating multiple new vlans.... The commands would be something like: vlan 0123 mode fabricpath name blahblahblahblah exit vlan 4567 mode fabricpath name blahblahblahblah exit And since they don't already exist in the NCM.VLANS table.... Now you see why…

Whoops! I was so excited that it worked at all I forgot to edit it.... It's been changed.

This is a script I used to create groups based on a custom property. I used it to create groups based on the "City" custom property. $hostname = 'localhost' if (!$creds) { $creds = Get-Credential # display a window asking for credentials } $swis = Connect-Swis -Credential $creds -Hostname $hostname # CREATING A NEW GROUP #…

What's everyone doing for dinner? Anyone up for Dave & Busters???

Hey Kevin. Since the SDK sessions go up to the 300 level at this SWUG, does that mean there's some kind of "lab" involved?

Ok so admittedly I haven't read all of the responses but it sounds like maybe you need to add your Solarwinds server IP to an ACL on the Nexus switch. We run a Nexus 7-5-2 architecture and have a standard ACL that explicitly permits the IP subnet all of our tools are on.
