  • Have you tried disabling your A/V? Or perhaps checking out ACLs? Also, just IMHO--its better to add nodes individually. Not sure if that will work for your organization and if you have like 40,000+ devices but we had issues with it added in servers with dynamic IPs....
  • What kind of controller do you have? Our Cisco 5000 series does this OOTB.
  • The company I am currently at uses the Service Now integration. It works pretty well but has some bugs. At a previous gig. We sent all Solarwinds tickets to our helpdesk's queue. Then literally through custom SQL and our naming standard having all nodes in 'x' site with the same naming standard (CHICAGO) for example we…
  • Managed Node not showing in virtualization tree I am having the same issue.
  • The easiest way to do this would be to report on the alert. And then group by 'alert' and list the nodes effected in ascending/descending order with a count as one of the column. So it would look something like Alert Type: Node Down Time Period: Past 7 Days Server A: 7 times down Server B: 5 times down Router A: 2 times…
  • I comply to my companies naming standards and have in every place I've worked.
  • I was able to resolve this with the assistance of support. You have to delete the node. Then go into Virtualization tab Expand the tree and find the node. I left the box 'poll for vmware' checked not sure if it mattered. Node was re-added that way. It showed up immediately. The issue was related to Solarwinds essentially…
  • One thing to keep in mind is some hardware and hardware manufacturers don't care about Solarwinds. What I mean by this is -- we have some switches with 3 fans and 1 of the fans is always off. It is off because it only turns on if tempature reaches a certain point or basically the switch realizes one broke..whatever.…
  • Try IE if using chrome. If using chrome try IE... Also double check that you have correct permissions. In NCM I believe you have to have full admin rights due to a bug.
  • Absence of a software? Which one? Seems kind of odd to want a report on that. Are you trying to get a report of where you have A/V missing or something? When I want a report of all my servers that do have something installed (for example MS Office in the attached screenshot) I report on all nodes then filter by name =…
  • Depending on how big your company is My methodology has always been make alerts actionable. Upper management wants "proactive" or transnational monitoring to see if a system is slow. You have to walk before you can run and you have to crawl before you can walk. So start out with 1) Node Up/Down. If proven they can handle…
  • We have had success with the alert for:critical at 90% for > 20 minutes. It kind of depends on how slow the application on 'x' server is during that time. Same for memory. If you need to do a 'policy exception' if you will you can do it one of 2 ways 1) Use custom properties/groups as others have said or 2) When defining…
  • It does not. How it works is you have to know your entire credential library since it doesn't import it from NPM and then it scans the network which depending on how large your network is can take a while and then gives you topology diagrams. I wouldn't consider it an enterprise ready tool. Hoping Solarwinds improves on it.
  • Hit the 'x'. It makes it go away.
  • You could do something with HTML. But I doubt Solarwinds would be interested in doing integration with a competitor. Thats like asking if Xbox can do cross platform with Playstation
  • can you make the screenshot bigger? I can't see what is in your screenshot with my old eyes. But without seeing it. One thing to note in Solarwinds is you can't grab queries from different datasets. Volumes, Nodes, and Applications are all different datasets. You would have to be a baller at SQL or leverage a software like…
  • you can select it. Search by the custom property in the top right corner and click on it. It inputs the variable.
  • The problem is you are trying to report on data that isn't in the database. You could do some powershell/vbs script...or, you could have you company use a change control process where you would get notified if someone adds more disks to a server.
  • I am also having odd issues related to this. I had one issue where I had a drive get >95% full on a windows server (which I have service now automated tickets setup for) and instead of troubleshooting it we decommissioned the server/deleted from disk. The ticket wouldn't let us close it since Solarwinds kept thinking it…
  • So this is a physical server? What model? Are you sure you don't have a cached version of list resources? Only other thing I can think is maybe try a different IP?
  • Just some ideas 1) Polling Interval may need to be adjusted for these devices 2) Have you tried reloading/restarting snmp services on the device? 3) Are they all going to the same poller? If they don't have one of the pollers IPs defined in your configs it acts goofy
  • I'm betting its either the polling interval/method and you need to adjust it.
  • The only way I can think to do this would be to have the SAM event log monitor looking for that account's specific SID or username. I was asked by our App team to do this for a specific service account. Solarwinds is not an SIEM. I would leverage another tool personally as this could get unmanagable quick depending on the…
