You would probably be better off breaking down your discoveries down into smaller chunks rather than doing a domain wide single discovery. Mine seem to run concurrently when done in that fashion. Also If you make them too large they might not complete at all.

Awesome news! Been waiting for this. I'm going to start getting a fresh stage up in my lab

I also had a similar situation. I ended up putting Longitude and Latitude and a location code in for all of the nodes in the custom properties fields. It took a couple days initially but now they group automatically on the World Map and I can sort, run reports, etc any way I want. About once a month I go out to Custom…

Thanks for sharing! It is a little bit of work but you can also log directly to a SQL database with Kiwi. We had a set of servers we wanted to keep the messages from long term so we set up a SQL database and created an action to write those messages there. It was much easier to search in.

I used the All Groups resource and divided my servers up into sub groups based on what they did. This helped because that resource will show CPU and Memory of all the servers in one place easily. You can then use Custom Properties as tigger2 suggested to break your alert down to Nodes that alert at 95% CPU, Nodes that…

Sounds like it should work. If not the Kiwi product Chad.Every mentions is fairly inexpensive and does forward on messages without altering them and keeps the original source address. If you need redundancy buy 2 its cheap.

We use SolarWinds as the 'Monitor of Monitors' and several of our alerts come from out on the internet. The easiest way to get a message through our firewalls is through an email message. Additionally many of the items we monitor only support email. These include environmental monitoring, camera systems, UPS's, etc. To…

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.
