Another view I created that I like was I made a COPY of the Network Summary Home page and then renamed and edited my copy. I removed most everything on there but left the Down Nodes summary report and made several copies of it across 3 columns. Lets say the dashboard was for retail: column 1 would be retail units, column 2…

One of the views I like is the World Map, Add GPS Coordinates for all of your nodes in Custom properties and then open World map and you will have a live view of all of your nodes. Another nice view for the WAN is Netpath.

I was looking forward to the new launch but after hearing the details I'm quite disappointed in the subscription concept. I don't think its really fair to compare a CISSP cert to a Solarwinds cert. Even though there are far more CISSP holders, we can't find enough to hire.

You can either do it in Report Writer or another way is to go into your Custom Property Editor and export your node list into Excel

Thanks Cal!

That looks pretty normal in comparison to mine

How often were you polling it? I SNMP poll our Nexus Core Switches on 5 minute intervals with no problems. Is it possible other things -non Solarwinds are also hitting them? If you changed the settings from Solarwinds defaults then also make sure you understand how these metrics function. For example polling topology every…

If you end up using a script you can do the ping from the workstation and then pipe the results into KLOG to send the results back into Solarwinds via Syslog. From there set up a Syslog alert when it fails. There are some klog examples at the bottom of this thread. Run the script as a scheduled task so it keeps going after…

The Orion Template is inside of SAM. If you purchased SAM go in to it and search for a template named Orion and you will find it. On my system from the main NPM page its under My Dashboards > Home > SAM Summary then Manage Applications > Application Monitor Templates then use the Search function and search for orion.

I use my Orion server name and Orion (v3) AD which uses my currently logged in user name. That user needs to also exist in Orion as a Administrator.

I just had to do a similar report for all of my SNMP nodes in SWQL studio. You can skip the Where clause if you need all nodes. SELECT TOP 20000 IPAddress, ObjectSubType FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE ObjectSubType LIKE 'ICMP' ORDER by 'IPAddress'

Your NPM server's IP address will do

Que estas tratando de hacer con el programa? Esto deberia funcionar. $NodeIP = Get-SwisData $Swis 'SELECT IP_address FROM Orion.nodes'

Puedes enviar el programa que estas tratando de ejecutar?

Looks like you have your solution but here is another way I sometime use to get external web pages to display on my dashboards. -Add a Custom HTML resource to your dashboard -Paste in the code below, replacing http://MYURLGOESHERE/ with your own URL <style type="text/css"> iframe { overflow:hidden; } </style> <iframe…

Here are some tips: Go here, upper right corner of map. You can filter on specific nodes and the like by doing this SWQL filter

Wait until the last day of the quarter and offer $4,999 and be ready to pay right then with a credit card. An old customer trick.

Most larger companies follow this methodology Development -> Lab Testing, Integration -> Lab Testing -> Rollout to Production. Development is where you 'play', integration, mimics production, and then production. Lab licenses are essential for this process to work.

@ rschroeder Hey I have read some of your earlier posts and believe you are trying to find a way to show ports that have not been in use for a long time. If I remember correctly in one of your posts you mentioned you have all of your ports managed (check marked). If so I think you could achieve this with something as…

Did you Stop All Services using the service manager prior to doing the install? That would probably fix it for you.

I had the same issues with the What You See Is What You Get didn't align up correctly. I started just doing all of my diagrams in Visio (or your favorite drawing tool), save it as a JPG then use it as a background image. Then in Network Atlas just adding the green dots without labels approximately where they should appear…

Syslog alerts are still set up on the server where NPM is installed. No web front end yet.

I just worked with Brian in support yesterday on a pretty tough problem and he had it fixed within 40 minutes. I also requested a specific time/day for a 'medium' priority issue and was able to get a specific time scheduled to work on it which was fantastic.

This series helped me out greatly in learning how to modify resources.

@ Leon Adato Great series. I'm trying to make a similar dashboard, not to acknowledge the alert but to perform an alert action to make a ticket to our ticketing system after the NOC has reviewed the alert. My thought is if I can add another resource to the Active Alert Details page that lists the current alerts and lets…

This was a great series Leon Adato thanks for posting it. I'm working on some improvements to the All Alerts dashboard so I can have a notes section added.

Darcrastinator! Great work

Anything going layer 3, you should be able to get netflow info for so it's worth a look. You could also monitor the activity of all of the switchports with NPM if you think it is related to high utilization. Netpath might give you some results as well.

If you want to use full up SQL you can use Report Writer and make the frame for you report, then use it on your dashboard. Here is how I did it for a similar solution.
