I do this today by running the PS monitor locally on our poller and using unc paths to provide the folder. So far so good Thanks, Christian

Darth_Xander - I like the function approach to give you the ability to break out or update those separately. I like the testing to see if it's not already in the DB but was surprised not to see a Test-Connection to see if the node could be pinged though that assumes the script is running from that poller- are you just…

glad to hear that as I'm installing fast ssd sql server 2016 server right now. Anything I should do to prepare it for columstore indexes/nta? Use always on or not? Etc etc 

Looking for improved and updated ESX virtual switch support, Cisco FabricPath, and AWS vpcflow logs

‌have you been able to return your statistics and message pairs? http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/en/flarehelp/sam/content/orionapmagcreatinglinuxunixscriptmonitor.htm

Best way I know how is to report or alert when the last sync field is getting stale. Look for the links in this thread... edit - added this thread: Re: Alert when SNMP polling stops for any node

‌actually I do this today. Setup network sonar discoveries for your ip range or list of ip/hostnames with all of the options needed to import the devices. Set a recurring schedule but then don't run the discovery. GO into the DB manager, discoveryprofile table, then change the autoimport option to 1 The next time it runs…

How can you identify these interfaces and nodes? Are they all the same machine type and interface type - or name - or are they the only interfaces you have at 1000? I think I would try to do this through the manage nodes/interfaces page if you can return all 200 interfaces through the search or filtering. If not then…

Here's a dashboard we put up on portrait LCD near the cubes... all the details are on are other summary pages. Names have been changed to protect the innocent, etc, etc...

Going through this same process right now with fewer instances but about the same object count. We are seeing about 50,000 iops now on the DB's so that's my concern. check out the new Sam 6.3 beta 2 for some cool features that might benefit you. if you are game we could schedule a quick chat to compare notes on approach…

In case you have not run into this already - it's a known "bug" with snmp and limitation on 32byte value for size. The workaround net-snmp implemented was to create a new config directive, RealStorageunits with a value of 0 or 1, to artificially inflate the size of the hrStorageAllocationUnits to properly represent the…

Just dealt with this today- have you tried parentheses around the whole group of OR statements with your AND on the outside?

How about if we use AWS AND Azure?

I Do this today with my cmdb data but it's easiest if it's also a MS SQL db. Link from your orion db to the other db then use a sql report to query just the remote or a join of the local orion and the remote. Embed report in your webpage and Bob's your uncle. Setting up a Linked Server for a Remote SQL Server Instance —…

${Alert}: TriggerDelay=${SQL:SELECT triggersustained from AlertDefinitions where alertname = '${AlertName}' }seconds Seems to be always stored in seconds but you can convert easily if needed - and you can substitute resetsustained for that metric

* put all custom sql and SWQL into source control, tried TFS but no one else was using it so likely trying to get GIT and sql studio working * same for custom views, reports, settings, thresholds etc. anything not global or default is version controlled with some mechanism for change notification and rorollback * if…

I am not sure this is the best method but has worked for us - we make a single dependency for each site and include all the *interfaces* we feel are critical to the connection (usually based on a trace route to the end device) and then decide if we want to set it to mixed or worst status. At this point if an MPLS or wan…

Also the filters of 'last status' and 'enabled' will help you to manage what is likely a large list of sensors - mine is over 15,000 sensors.

You said you have a custom view - meaning a unique page you created and set as say the accounts home or summary page? Can you not simply select the map you want by editing the map resource? If you are using the same page for everyone and want a unique map to show for just this user it's not so easy - you'd be better off…

Unless you have an application that sends traps through RHEL you might be better off using the rsyslog function which will provide you the option of what logs and events you want to forward where...…

bump - anyone? I find the NCM approval process difficult to put into production since any change put in for approval can be seen and approved even by those who have account limitations UNABLE to see the nodes affected. Account limitations should apply to approvals and filter so that ALL nodes affected are able to be viewed…

IF you unmanage during planned outages then you could both set up an alarm with email and present a custom query resource or report writer resource for nodes with a where clause evaluating unmanaged start times in the next week and/or unmanaged end tImew greater then today. you could add a custom property called planned…

I realize your question is in the NPM category but my approach would use Server and Application Monitor module: quick google search brings up several powershell port check monitors - add one of these into a SAM powershell template or even just use a SAM port monitor to check tcp port 23 Check for open TCP ports using…

Only if you feel very comfortable with SQL and xml. The only published import into discovery is through Active Directory.

It might be due to the fact that it cannot poll UCS api from blades. The golden triangle for UCS monitoring is as such: * Add UCS manager VIP ip as ICMP node and UCS api credentials * Add each fabric interconnect as snmp just as you would a switch(no api polling) * Add each blade by their OS IP address (without api…

like publishing your New Years resolution- I will map out all my switches AND keep them up to date i did the same and decided on several things * I do like the idea of visual switch views and also decided on the same front/back that you show. * I found it easy to lay them out in Visio /OmniGraffle and also found switchport…

Just to confirm - this is not the failover engine we know? Also can we use this for additional poller cluster pools in the beta? Thanks, Christian

‌No idea what without licensing means? As for limitations- always found group membership to be the slowest limitation filter to use. Have you tried to create groups through dynamic query filter based on node custom property? I use this to group and for account limitations and it's fast as could be.

Right in the middle of doing this now and it's not problematic yet. 1. Go to your Settings:IPAM Settings: Import IP Addresses from a file and the first screen should provide you links to example spreadsheets - one with supernet and enclosed subnet. Or navigate to /Orion/IPAM/res/samples/structure.xls 2. I found adding…

Very true and very frustrating!!!!! Been seeing only temperature except UNDP for our nexus for quite some time with no change in 10.7. It's sad to see our network monitoring solution no longer able to monitor our network devices.
