Take a look at this link: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/en/flarehelp/sam/default.htm#OrionAPMAGRestartingWindowsServicesWithAlertAction.…

dclick is correct, You should upgrade. Nexus support was added in version 3.5.0, and has been enhanced in more recent versions.

To go with what Nanda stated, here is a list of Meta Variables that can be used in a Device'CLI.SendCommands activity: SolarWinds CatTools

If the default device does not work, you can use a generic device type with Variations. See this link: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/cattools/index.html?dev_devicevariations.htm You will need to get the commands that are being used, and you can plug them into the command fields

Try choosing SSL or TLS under the security section.

Yes, but you will need to open a case with support, and you will be provided 1.2 compatible files.

The 9.4.2 information is now available: Feature Updates - Kiwi Syslog Server | Kiwi

Yomi, You will want create a second message text filter. See this screenshot:

You can enable capture mode, and see the communication between CatTools and your device: 1. Use the CatTools File menu to select the "Enable capture mode" option. 2. Run the activity you are having trouble with. This should create a debug file in the \CatTools3\Debug folder. 3. Zip up the resulting file and send this to me…

Kiwi syslog is inexpensive, and can handle up to 2 million messages per hour.

This is usuall a protocol connection issue. How do you connect to this device outside of CatTools? SSH, telnet, etc?

Buddy What version of the Log Forwarder are you using?

The .x format is a proprietary file type, so there is not a way to read it outside of ipMonitor. If you can upload the file, I will send you the contents.

Tam are you getting any connection errors?

NTM does not use the Orion database, so it is not able to use agent data.

What type of device are you connecting to, and which activity are you using? 

Are both nodes being discovered/identified via SNMP?

What is the volume of syslog messages that you guys have coming in?

You will not need to configure a community string for incoming traps in Kiwi Syslog. This will be done on the remote device. If you are wanting to configure a string on an action, this will be done from within the action.

Bahlkris Here is a comparison between ipMonitor and Orion, as well as a competitor: http://www.solarwinds.com/products/ipmonitor/comparison.aspx

As a test, if you remove one of the existing Cisco Event IDs, and add a new one, does that work?

Has this been submitted as a feature request?

Please move to the SAM forum.

Please post a screenshot of what you are seeing.

You will want to be on the latest version to use this link.

Ralph, What is a capture file showing?

Dhyanesh, If these devices are using SNMP, you could try a report based on system up time (1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3).

I the debug log, I am seeing "access denied". Please check your password.
