In Windows Services manually Stop these services and set them to Startup Type 'Manual' until you are done with your maintenance then change them back to automatic and restart them.

Depending on how large your network is I would go with bdufresne suggestion to front end NPM with Kiwi or a different Syslog receiver and then filter/forward only events you need alerts on to NPM. Raw syslogs streams directly into NPM go straight into your database. If someone puts a devices logging into debug you may find…

I have never seen this before with a straight up ICMP only node. Is it possible they used to be SNMP managed and someone changed them back to ICMP only? I have seen similar behavior when that has been done, or when someone changes the community string on a SNMP node at the node side and doesn't tell anyone. Try deleting…

I think this may be what ecklerwr1 is referring to, I use a DNS alias in addition to the actual hostname of my servers so if the server has a DNS name such as w0983eapps0221 I also assign an alias of 'Orion' to that name so you can use that name. You can also use http://orion/ to get to the server via the web, ping Orion,…

You can see if the manufacturer has a mib available and if so you can create custom pollers for the metrics that you want to monitor. Alternately if documentation is not available you could do a MIB walk of one of the air conditioners and see what it returns. The tool to do that is buried in a subdirectory in your NPM…

"Show up everyday and do the best job to can. If you do, good things will happen to you." Good advice! I got my start in Netware also My experience was... after having been given a tour of the campus I would be working at on my first day, I asked my new boss what he would like me to do? "Keep my phone from ringing" was his…

Mine stops when the volume of messages gets too high. Here are a couple of things to try. In the Kiwi Console go to 'Email' Then set this up: This will give you a daily log of whats going on. Also set up these: There is also the 'View Syslog Statistics under the 'View' menu

Here is the equivalent SWSQL. This is pulling all nodes that have the name 'Cisco' and a custom property called Team that contains 'Telecommunications' Select IP_Address, Caption, NodeID, _Group FROM Orion.NodesCustomProperties cp INNER JOIN Orion.nodes nd on cp.NodeID = nd.NodeID Where Caption Like '%Cisco%'AND Team Like…

One workaround I used was fronting NPM with Kiwi and converting the traps to syslogs and then forwarding on to NPM's sylsog engine. Not a great solution but it worked.

You should be able to do that (Router, switches,wlc.... etc) by using the 'Filters'. Look at the dropdown box and see if any of the other options will work in your environment.

Launch the Kiwi Syslog Console from the icon or from the start menu Choose File and then Setup Right Click on Rules then Add Rules Right Click on the New Rule and then Add Filter Create a rule for the IP address(s) you want to forward by selecting the IP Address Field from the Pulldown Boxes. You can use multiple as long…

You can create a rule to forward the messages to additional hosts.

I was able to get this done as an alert action using the thread below. Unmanage/remanage or mute/resume an item or all items in a group

Thanks for the post Leon

We have done it a number if ways. 1. Have a second smaller implementation of Solarwinds that is monitoring the main one from a second data center. It also has all of our very important nodes in it as ICMP only so it is doing a subset of monitoring. This server is mainly there to be used during upgrades, disaster recovery…
