I've been able to get what I need done with EIGRP. Wondering specifically what this post is asking for? I monitor my 'hubs' for when an EIGRP neighbor failed on them at remote sites. We use IWAN technologies so all our RBOs have redundant/multiple ISP connections with EIGRP neighbors. The branch doesn't have an outage and…

I am also having issues getting our liberty ibm websphere instances working. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if the template I am using for all our previous versions of ibm jvm webpshere just isn't working?

Yeah this is another good way to do it. Its one of those things where you kind of have to work with your app team(s) or know your app if its under your umbrella. You don't want everything to be a 'policy exception' as that can get unmanageable quick...

In the past, Solarwinds scheduled task issues have been a permissions issue with the account. I would use the Solarwinds Service Account to run them if possible, assuming it is in the admin group on the server. That way it ensures it has the highest permissions to both the application and the server.

You do not need to. So it COULD work both ways. IMHO, Your Solarwinds main app server/primary polling engine should stay in Domain A. You can have a poller in domain B but you do not need to, necessarily although you can. If you are monitoring Windows nodes you will need to give Solarwinds a Domain B Credential to poll…

Yes without being familiar with your environment its hard for me to tell you specifically what you need to do but just to provide an example. Lets say you have 3 'local IT' people in 3 cities- Chicago, Toronto, Detroit. Each site has a router, vm host, servers, waps, etc and you monitor those. You tag it with a $Site…

I stand corrected. You are right. However I'm still wondering why. Typically I've found Solarwinds is better used for infrastructure side monitoring, which typically means the systems its monitoring have standard IPs. He must be updating a mass amount of workstatiosn

Custom Reports are a lot of trial and error. The Columns table is where you display the data. The selected objects is where you scope what you want to report on. So in this case....servers...all devices = wmi or operating system = server 2008, 2012, etc. Columns is where you add the actual column for OS name, Application,…

agreed 100%

Did you have to make any server changes to do this? I tried this and it didn't work.

I installed the hotfix and am still not seeing the error resolved. We are on 2017.3.2 SP2 and SAM 6.4. Installed the hotfix as advised still have the error.

There are guests on 'x' host that are being managed through WMI. All of the VMhosts are being polled through vCenter. This is only happening for servers that were already in Solarwinds before I setup the Virtualization Manager tree to poll through vCenter. The weird part is we have servers that were already managed by…

I've been doing Solarwinds Administration since the early 2000s and the upgrade process has gotten a lot better. I also like the little page that shows what you need to upgrade to and on which OS. I WISH a lot of our other vendors had something that Solarwinds had it really is nice and saves you from wasted hours of…

Is this issue occuring only with SRM or NPM as well? I have our Isilon's monitored and showing as Frankhofer FOKUS as well but I would like to see if i can get more stats.

this is what i've done. What is the difference if i populate it or if some other member of my team does in another system.

How do i apply this to my isilon?

I have windows update monitors monitoring our SCCM environment with SAM. Depending on what you change the value of the output (a number, 0, 1, etc.) you can change the 'state' of the APM in Solarwinds. Short Answer is a powershell script you setup as a template & apply to 'server x'

Not sure if this helps but just some things to note/check. Solarwinds uses the upload speed as the default bandwidth on an interface. So if you have 100D/10U. It will show the receive bandwidth on an interface as 10MBPS even though it has a 100 meg pipe. Might want to check what this has on the interface. You can change it…

Just to be clear, so if this is a Symantec virtual appliance you want the Symantec logo to show up in reports similar to Windows?

I want to make sure I'm reading this right. When you say swap the main poller from 'x' network to 'y' network. Are you literally saying you are changing the IP address of the server to move it to a segregated network? What you are trying to do?

So, I'm not familiar with Huawei, but I've integrated Solarwinds with 2 ticketing systems and can try to offer advice. 1) ServiceNow. This is really easy since Solarwinds has made it something my computer illiterate wife could do. You just add a SNow instance. 2) Altiris. This one is probably more in your ballpark. Most of…

Please add me to the list as well. I wanted to display my JVM availibility/amounts of alerts triggered for our business domain. When I browse to a JVM metrics it just says no metrics are available for this object.

The use is meant to be dynamic based on the companies needs. Its job is to monitor your infrastructure & alert you or others when stuff isn't working, both proactively and re actively. The good news is you're just monitoring it and (for the most part) you can't break anything so it is low stress. You can shoot me a PM I'll…

You can't. I just tested by going to settings -> Manage nodes -> (Group by vendor) -> Windows -> Select All -> And List Resources is greyed out. Since the DHCP setting is part of the list resources page I do not believe this is possible to do in mass. Theoretically you could delete everything and turn on auto discovery…

$updatesdeadline = get-wmiobject -namespace root\ccm\clientsdk -query 'Select * from CCM_SoftwareUpdate' -ErrorVariable WMIError | Select ArticleID, StartTime | Group StartTime | Select Name, Count If ($WMIError -like "*invalid namespace*") { Write-Host "Message.Total: SCCM Client may not be installed ($WMIError)"…

So if you take a node in Solarwinds...for example lets use 'Server A' If you add it via WMI and then go to 'list resources' Asset Inventory is one of the check boxes in there. There should then be an 'Asset Inventory' tab on the left side of the screen when you click on the node. Not sure how big your environment is but a…

Try using a different browser?

NTM uses your existing inventory. So theoretically you should be able to pull the report from NPM using the report writer. If there are 'unknowns' on your network I believe it shows the IP. But I would argue barring endpoint PCs all infra devices should at least have ping up/down ICMP monitoring configured.

Green = Up Warning = Warning (threshold) Red with Exclamation = Critical (threshold) Red without Exclamation = Down Grey = Unknown (Usually due to configuration issue) Blue = Other/Unmanaged. Meaning for example you have a server in maintenance mode for Windows updates or something and the application on it is henceforth…

I"m not trying to sound like a jerk, but, I would spend less time creating a pie chart dashboard and more time getting the devices that are down...up?
