Hi Danielle - so it sounds like all of my issues are of a time / be patient on my part issue The May monthly mission was the first monthly one I had participated in, and as I noted it had only been a week so I wasn't as concerned with that, it was spread the word that had been over a month as well as the NCM RC badge /…

Holy cow - I never use that - I guess I should huh??

Do you use NCM by chance? We do in our environment and was able to create a report based off the inventories that NCM pulls.

I figured a screen shot would help - but here's where you would chose that - When you hit that you will get below your main , primary section a button that says "Add Section" - Click Add section, so your primary section will be your custom property of HAState, in the second section your interface status. The trigger won't…

Leon Adato - nice job! Great idea to query a table that needs snmp to update. I've literally just implemented it as a new alert for devices we have issues with snmp zonking out on, but icmp remaining up - and of course no alert going out.

You dont have to select anything in the "Select Entity" drop down. Just copy and paste that swql query into the open box, overwriting whatever is in there then hit execute query.

njoylif‌ - So I probably need to respond here, but am sort of waiting for something official. I was able to get some visibility to my issue and have been working with a great support guy whose working with the dev team. We are in the process of testing (not sure what to call it?) a potential fix for this. I rather not go…

Just keep in mind, if the application monitor component is in alarm at the time it is disabled, it will still generate alerts. If that is the case you will need to bring the component back up poll it until the alarm clears, then you can re-disable. In my case, the components would never have come back up, so I just deleted.

Thanks Daniel! That is perfect, and what I needed for the bgp states.

I keep forgetting you can view the query via the website , I keep going into the DB and viewing in the alert definitions table!

Dan Ney‌ Did you try using ${N=SwisEntity;M=Caption} for the node name? Not sure if you have found this or not, but the variables in the NPM Admin guide may help - http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/OrionNPMAdministratorGuide.pdf page 732

Trying to export the switchport, IP and mac info into something other than PDF.

We do have ifindex persist on, on all of our 6500s...however according to the documentation I found, the Nexus comes with ifindex persist on by default. There is no command to enable it as we do on the 6500s.

LOL wow...completely missed how easy that was...anyway to have it not show the snmp strings/passwords easily?

Alex - You can get the trigger query by going into the Solarwinds db, opening up the dbo.AlertDefintions table and searching for the alert name for that alert you have created there. There is a column in that table called "Trigger Query", that is the underlying SQL querying created for your alert defintion

This tool is great when I test it on nodes, but when I switch the "Test on:" field to Volumes, nothing ever populates in the 2nd column, and I've tried selecting a node and a few of its volumes, and hitting "Detect Pollers" but I'm getting nothing. Any ideas?

adatole‌ - How do you load this into UnDP?

Nice job on this!! I love it!

you can query the sw sql db directly, in the dbo.accounts table and save those to csv if you want. The passwords are encrypted but it should give you everything else you need.

I just went through this tedious process....I ended up using a query to the UDT tables to find ports that had a bunch of connected endpoints, and also had in the interface description "trunk" and changed the IsMonitored from the UDT_Port table from 1 to 0.

Holy cow - I can't believe I scanned right by that!!!! Thank you!!!

Did anything come of this? We are using NPM 10.6.1, and on the NXOS some are 6.1(3), and some 6.2(2) and all we get with the hardware health polling is temperature also.

UGHHHH I think I found my answer here on thwack - Disabled components not really disabled Sooooo I've got 377 servers, all of them are all over the board with which component monitors need to be enabled...Anyone with any suggestions how to do this somewhat easily? And do what I mean re-enable, change the threshold and…

Just curious what version are you running of NPM? I've previously applied one of the newer hot fixes recently (Hot fix 3) that addresses a few things, one of which is- Improved the page load time on the Web Console. I see now that Hot Fix 4 is out, and that encompasses all of the previous hot fixes, may be worth your…

You may have to reach out to support and have the license reset. What does it show when you login to the customer portal and look and your license management page for that additional polling engine license? Does it already show registered?

Anybody? Hopefully my question makes sense...

adatole - I'm obviously screwing this up somewhere, but how do you load this into UnDP? Or do you load it into UnDP?

If you are asking what you need to do physically to increase RAM, then just shut down orion services, shut down the server, add your ram and fire it back up? If you are asking how much you should add, then that goes back to cjfranca‌'s response of what are you trying to monitor - number of elements etc

Just curious, but are you wanting to move away from report writer? I've integrated some of my report writer reports into the gui. I find the report writer alot easier to make more granular type reports if that makes sense.

Nice!!
