byrona, I could not agree with your entire evaluation more! I too agree that pricing is way too high for value! I would also like to see the tools be spread accross more vendors instead of concentration on Cisco only! What about HP Procurve, Adtran, Juniper? Are these vendors not important? Or is it that SW is getting a…

‌Big enough for most any laptop. Padding to protect. Extra pockets to hold many items. Clips are a little trying at times, but overall a nice messenger bag with a large embroidred Thwack Community logo on the side. I'll post some pics in a bit.

I agree, this would be a nice feature to add! BS

A Happy Veteran's Day to all of my Brother's and Sister's in and out of uniform, Active, Retired, Reservist or any other capacity, it takes every one of you to make and keep us safe! Thanks again from the bottom of my heart for your service. USAF 1982 - 1993 SAC Warrior​ and 2nd ACCS - Looking Glass Crew Member God Bless!

Steve, The customization is endless for your views. Create a Group and assign the nodes you want to view to that group. Create a map with Network Atlas and add the group to the map. Add the map to your NOC view or default screen, aka where ever you want to be able to view these nodes and you have a specific view for those…

Take a look at this: It uses custom property, 'Email_Contact' to send the Alert to the responsible individual.

rharland2012 is right on track with the Network Engineer's Toolkit. You can use the Real-Time Interface Monitor from within the Toolkit and create a monitor for the device/interface in question then publish it to web, i.e. create an html monitor that you can publish within NPM. This is one of the two ways I know of to be…

A quick explaination of SNMPv3 is below: SNMP Version 3 (SNMPv3) adds security and remote configuration capabilities to the previous versions. The SNMPv3 architecture introduces the User-based Security Model (USM) for message security and the View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for access control. The architecture…

I prefer SNMP and also wouldn't like to lose all of my historical data by converting a node from SNMP to WMI or vice versa. Since most all of my nodes were setup via SNMP I will stay the course barring any tremendous WMI improvement gains that would peak my interest again.

Dobbs, WHD seems to be the only package with current SAML support, but with that said, Richard Letts comment specifically addresses DotNet Open Access in NPM v11.5.1. Not sure about the configuration or if it is usable for your situation or not. Support SAML I voted it up for you though. BSpencer

lbrowne, What do you currently have on yours? I totally agree with the stripped down version of the NPM "NOC View" method due to page load times. I have a general overview of Network/Device Health, visually with MPLS and Site specific maps, all nodes - Tree, VOIP Call manager stats, Failed Calls, Hardware overall Health,…

Any GSM MODEM should work as long as it is compatible with your hardware, the finishing part is to install Notepager Pro from http://www.notepager.com/ , since Orion NPM is set up to send SMS alerts using this software. Here is a link to others that have had issues setting it up..... I didn't have any issues it was…

Alan, You need to select the "*" asterisk to select the Property "variable" that you want to monitor. Vendor will be found under "Node" Volume Percent and Volume Type will be found under the "Volume" Property to Monitor. See image below. Hope this helps.

And the saga continues.... http://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/53172 Sorry to hear about the bad tech support you have been receiving. There are numerous posts the one I created above referencing the same. I am very disappointed that support has gone down, tremendously over the course of the past few years. I guess when…

grastyj, Agree with cjfranca, need a bit more information to be able to assist with proper diagnosis. What is server? Physical/Virtual? Hardware config to include proc count, speed, RAM etc. Device and interface count is very low, so you are definitely experiencing some issues that should not be happening. (potentially) Go…

Ecessa (formerly Astrocom) PowerLink devices 1.3.6.1.4.1.1419 Over three years later since I originally asked for this company to be added to the SolarWinds MIB database and still not available. What do I have to do to get the device added? Oh yeah, create my own pollers right? What a waste of time to even have a community…

I have been having decent experiences as of late with SW Support so it has been a while since I have had to do this.... Here I am again with a SW LEM instance that is stuck and not working correctly. This has happened previously and it was the log files that were the issue, but since the rotation and management of them is…

So, here we are 23 days later and I am still having issues with all of my modules/products! I keep getting emails saying that they are willing to do gotomeetings, but then no follow up! I hate to admit it, but the support that I have been receiving lately is some of the worst II have ever experienced for such an expensive…

WAN Application performance metrix as well as user monitoring, alerting, and reporting.

markbl, SolarWinds LEM rolled out FIM, File Integrity Monitoring, and it will do what you are requesting. BSpencer

alexggolovin Have you tried re-adding the node yet?

ikomrad, Is this an inherited system or did you complete the install? Inheriting someone else's versions of NMS is sometimes a nightmare. All of the defaults are in my previous post, so you should be able to check and see if your polling intervals have been changed. I would also still check to see if your polling is…

ikomrad, First off I would ask what are you trying to accomplish by changing the defaults? Changing the defaults will affect your NPM server drastically depending upon which way you adjust the polling interval. From the default of 120 seconds to 60 seconds can actually make your server unreachable if you are polling a…

ikomrad, Have you checked out this thread? Re: Poller Tuning - Community Tips No matter the polling interval you choose, you need to ensure your polling engine is completing polls before the next poll starts. Hope this helps... BSpencer

Use Network Sonar Integration that is now provide with NPM. If you configure a scheduled scan of your Network Subnets, it will add a notification at the top of the NPM web interface that includes what new nodes, interfaces, drives etc were found. I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but it would provide you…

We are running 8.5.1 and are experiencing the same problems.

Also, don't forget about firewall settings and snmp community values as well as security. They all need to match and/or allow to be able to poll a device.

Been using NPM and NCM for a while now. The NPM functions have been running for 8 years while NCM has been in operation for about 5. As far as integration of the two, just for viewing configs and changes from within the NPM integrated views. We use NPM for monitoring, statistics hx, trending, and alerts on node hardware…
