That's the fix Richard Letts prescribed below, and still nothing, unfortunately. I just rebooted to be on the safe side, and even after that the problem isn't solved. In TrapService.log, though, it looks like there are some errors. I'm seeing a lot of this: 2015-01-05 09:13:02,082 [9] ERROR…

The fix I applied was getting into SDK and using PowerShell to bulk add nodes using the loopback IP range.

Basically, that's what I've been asked to do.

Thanks for the replies so far. And sorry about disappearing for a week, I got completely swamped with something else. I think you meant to ask whether I tried SNMP instead of WMI, and to answer that, yes I did. It didn't help either. Polling worked, I was getting drives and interfaces, but alas, no service monitoring. As…

Awesome, thanks for that. And how would you do it in Python, for instance? Can you only do it using PowerShell and REST, or are they just the best/only documented?

Nope. I still don't get them.

Just checked/tried it. Nothing in the Events about it, and restarting the Trap Service didn't do it.

I know there's native support for alerting on F5 pools/nodes, but can you tell me where I can set up a monitor for it? I'm trying to add it to Network Atlas and I can't seem to make an object out of it.

In my case, I've been tasked with using SolarWinds' report writer to build a rack report of one of our data centers (I agree that SolarWinds isn't the best place to do it, that's just the task that's been handed to me), and I need to include the free spaces and non-IP devices. Trouble is, there's a bunch of them, so I need…

Depends. Can you show me where it goes into how to remove SWIS objects?

Yessir, dark fiber. It's supposed to be poller > core switch > home router > distant router > distant core > distant SAN. It comes out sometimes as poller > core switch > home router > distant SAN And now sometimes the weird jump goes from core to SAN.

Thanks!

It works on a couple servers, it seems. I haven't assigned these to many, we're still getting started with SAM here. I tried looking at your fix, but it looks like I'm not having any trouble with nonexistent classes, and there's no mention of DisablePerformanceCounters or anything of the like up in the registry. I did a…

That did it. Thanks!

That did it! Thanks so much. And yeah, the orphaned data is what I was worried about.

I found out since posting this that the server failed over to another site. Most of the monitors recovered on their own, but some stayed Unknown. I just fixed the issue myself by deleting the remaining Unknown monitors and re-adding them. Lost some history, unfortunately, but it's polling again. Thanks for checking into it.

Just kidding, content exchange appears to be broken today. Here's what I did, hope this helps or that you already got it working: Invoke-SwisVerb $swis "Orion.Container" "AddDefinition" @( $container, #-----------Dynamic Query Below ([xml]" <MemberDefinitionInfo xmlns='http://schemas.solarwinds.com/2008/Orion'>…

Sorry for the months-late response. I eventually did, but it's clunky and kind of a pain since it just creates a bare-bones dynamic query. I'll upload what I've got now and link you. Also I'm cringing hard at my old script, so it's pretty cool to see some progress.

It was a domain admin account. But I figured it out.

I just tried this. Still nothing.

They're v2, and Windows Firewall is set to allow UDP port 162 inbound (and is also disabled).

Thanks for the reply! That is indeed what I meant by false positives. I'll check it out next time I start seeing connectivity issues out that way. Thanks again!

I'm aware I can, but what's the best way?

Is there a way to add these without an IP address? It's tough to ping a cabinet, and it feels a little odd/arbitrary tracking used loopback addresses for that purpose.

Awesome! For some reason in my head Set-Swisobject was limited to custom properties. Great to know it's that simple. Thanks also for just dropping the full script in!

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the reply. Nope, not on the public Internet, and no tunnel.

It doesn't look like it goes into CRUD operations or list out the verbs you can use in any concise way. Am I just overlooking it?

Thanks for the heads up. I had thought about the same thing, which did end up with me putting some limitations on and waiting to see who complains about it. I wouldn't call it best practice, but it's worked so far. Unless I just missed something, I switched around everything I could switch around before posting this, and…

Awesome! Will do.
