Thanks for the info. I guess I'm destined to log a support case for this. Unfortunately, the documentation is limited, so troubleshooting on my part has been limited.

Thanks for your response. Looking at the Views by Device Type, it appears that making the change you suggest will in fact cause the switches to appear correctly. Unfortunately, I also have actual Aruba wireless controllers that would then not show up as wireless controllers, if I understand this setting correctly. Seems…

And many years later, thanks! Solarwinds, this could be better. Why, oh why, does the chart default to include memory as a volume in the disk space used report?

Awesome. We've got some Rubrik deployed now, so please let me know how it works out. I'll be glad to help out if possible.

It's a backup appliance with lots of storage, high throughput NICs, etc. I think it's probably a customized Linux appliance, but I don't know if there's any shell access to set up net-snmp or similar. Just wondering if anyone else has tried it.

Could you point to a specific place that says use an admin-level service account for best results? I agree with your statement, but it would be nice to be able to offer some documentation to support that premise when management asks why. I haven't been able to find it in the SAM admin guide.

This was helpful. Simplified the updates I had to do to strip domain names from several hundred nodes. Thanks for sharing this.

That sounds like the start of a feature request. 

After way too much time trying to use the more complicated versions of snmpd.conf, I tried this one. A whopping two line config without all the fluff, chaff, and useless example prose. This worked fine to get me monitoring of the basic resources of my Airwave box. Happy day!

This was an awesome and quickly helpful report. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this. Wondered about that. Seems like a good feature request.

Depending upon how your switches are configured, assuming you have ports assigned to VLANs that don't or shouldn't change, you could use a compliance report that looks for specific values in the switch. For instance, if you wanted to make sure that given ports on a switch were all assigned to vlan 10, you could write a…

What model Brocade switches? Different Brocade stacks behave in dissimilar manners. The VDX switches, for instance, when "stacked" in a VCS fabric, are logically one switch but each still have a separate management IP. For those, I find it useful to add each individual switch to NPM and NCM for management, because there…

Bueller...

The lines in question begin with the word "key" and are followed by a long random string that is the encrypted key. As I said, I believe other devices could have lines beginning with key, and I would definitely want to know if they change. On the Aruba switches, the encrypted value seems to change at least daily. 

Thanks again for the info. I posted in the Unknown Device forum. 

By the way, I'm relatively new to NPM, so it's entirely possible I'm overlooking something simple.

Ugh. Hope this doesn't turn things in a negative direction.

Fantastic question. Anyone else out there encountered such requirements? This seems like it could be pretty involved.

I'd like to see Aruba switches separate from Aruba Wireless Controllers. Both are recognized as just Aruba Networks, and need separate views in the views by device type in settings.

I believe that's pretty straightforward. You would create your rule to look for the string "ntp server 10.1.1.1" or whatever you're looking for, and have NCM alert if the string is not found. When you use that in a policy and report on the policy, it should give you an indication of which devices don't have the correct ntp…

There's also a built-in report called Top XX Volumes by Disk Space Used that you can employ. I use that with a filter of Volumes.VolumeType='Fixed Disk' and that seems to do the trick without a lot of effort. I use it both on the main dashboard and have it emailed out daily to those in need.

Just got everything updated, including SAM to 6.3. Have to say that I really, really like the web SSH client.

We use NPM and NCM both. NPM gives us visibility into many aspects of the network, along with good NOC views to display on the walls. We frequently pull historical data to confirm or disprove questions about the availability of monitored resources. NPM goes hand-in-hand with NCM in our network. We back up and analyze…

I don't think a direct answer can be given based on what you've provided. Are the clients on a LAN with the server? If so, 13-40 ms is pretty high for LAN connectivity. OTOH, if they are on one or more separate networks from the server, then even 100 ms is not necessarily enough latency to majorly impact the user…

Hola, se desprende del error que aparece que la autenticación SMTP está fallando. Usted debe verificar que su servidor SMTP hace o no requiere autenticación, y ajustar Kiwi en consecuencia. Espero que esto ayude. Lo siento si mi español es curiosamente redactado. Los peligros del uso de Google Translate y no confiar en mi…

Wow, two years later, and I just found this same bug from Windows. Fixed Disk or FixedDisk. SMH.

Two words: risk aversion. I agree with earlier posts about fearing the blame game. It stinks, but it's the nature of the IT game. There is a general lack of understanding, both outside of IT and within, of the interaction of various systems, and that fosters mistrust.
