Unfortunately, this is a limitation with the switch hardware, and requires the higher priced service module. The service module has specific hardware for enabling Netflow functionality, and without it, you just can't gather netflow data. This is not entirely unheard of either -- older 4500 models required an additional…

Ok, thanks for clarifying.

 For my case, used b/w, but I can see how some people might be interested in % of available b/w. I really think all the pieces are already there... The Netflow 'Total Bytes Transferred' graph shows how much was transferred in 15 minutes, we just need a graph that shows that information changed to b/w. Thanks for looking…

 John, This is a great query and a very useful report. You should put it in the file area so other people can benefit.

Ok, Solarwinds -- how soon can we get this on the "What we're working on" list?!

Dave, I think you are correct there -- once you install NCM you'll have the option:

Each site is connected to an MPLS provider, so the bandwidth to each site is really bandwidth into the MPLS cloud. Each NA site has 100Mbps, and both my EMEA and Asia site have 40Mbps.

Sounds good -- the reason I mentioned it is that we've had a recent issue that sounded very similar to what you're experiencing. We started pushing out configs using Ansible, and someone added the OID restriction to the end of the community line and then was frustrated when nothing beyond the basic host information was…

Well, in his first post he mentions having a second instance of Orion running in a seperate location, and how that would result in duplicate alerts. This means most likely that we will have a 2nd instance of Orion at a different geographical location, pointing to it's own database. But, the problem with this is you get…

 I think he's trying to figure out how to reduce duplicate alerts that will come because of the two instances running. Any ideas for that?

Hmm... that's definitely a tough one. Seems like to be able to use the 2nd Orion installation to monitor the first, you would have to have the alerting engine running to trigger off anything else. The first thing that came to my mind was writing a batch file that started up the alerting engine -- of course, you'd have to…

That's awesome! Are these types of tricks in the Admin guide anywhere? I suppose if they are I better start reading through the documentation

 JB -- That looks great. I'm gonna set those up on my box. Thanks for sharing those. By the way, how did you get the HP Management page link on each page so that it would be unique for every host? Also, can you please share how you were able to add the Operational Role to the node details resource? Thanks!

In case you can't find what you need in the Content Exchange, I think these oids are what you're looking for: Temperature Status: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3 Fan Status: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.4 Power Supply Status: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.5 Those are all tables, so they should have all the info you need. I tested it on a 2851…

Along the top of the page you should see some boxes -- 'Forums & Spaces", "Free trials & Tools" ... "Content Exchange". Click on content exchange, then under NPM Content click Universal Device Pollers

Josh, Has there been any headway in this area? I see that in APM 3.0 RC2 we still can't separate out the processes. Thanks, --Brandon

Josh -- Thanks for the reply. I believe that adding the ability to filter on something in the process command line would solve the problem, at least I know in my case it would. --Brandon

Roger, Is it possible to include multiple statistics in the ouput of the monitor? i.e. a script that returns both CPU and memory utilization? And if so, how do I get APM to recognize those as CPU and Mem? Thanks, --Brandon

 Done -- ticket #61259

 I've noticed this same issue with v9. All of my custom pages from 8.5.1 migrated over just fine, but I am not able to create any new pages with the old method. I just spent some time on the phon with Solarwinds support and they were able to find a workaround using an iframe tag that contained the graph I wanted to add.…

Borgan -- thanks for the response. As a follow-up question, what works better for APM purposes - SNMP or WMI?

Excellent! Thank you

 BTW, I originally found out how to do this by searching the forums... it should be out there somewhere....

Thanks Andy -- that query works great. I'm having trouble getting my alert to actually trigger, but at least I know the query portion is good.

Thanks, that did the trick! I saw those two items you linked, but neither of them fixed the issue. Your procedure worked though, so you might add that to the KB to to cover all the bases.

 That did the trick. Thanks again

 Well, that's a good question -- I'm pretty sure I am, but I guess I'm not 100% sure. What user do the command scripts use by default? I thought they would use the user that is configured to log in and download the config. is that right?

This discussion is probably better suited for the APM forum. That being said, what you are asking for is something I'm looking for too. I posted a long rant about this particular APM shortcoming over there. What I've found is that you will either have to write a perl or bash script yourself, or find someone who can. As…

In this case, since his switches are stacked, that should only count as one license.
