easiest way is to do a ping test to the IP on the far side of the tunnel interface (ICMP only) I could do that, but that would create the need to add well over 200 ICMP-only nodes to our installation. Do we have other options?

Thanks so much for your help!

You can address the decimal-shift issue in the Application Monitor component by checking "Yes, convert returned value", selecting "Custom conversion" and entering "${Statistic}/10" (no quotes) for the conversion formula. If you wish to correct the decimal shift and convert to celsius, enter "((${Statistic}/10)-32) * 5/9"…

It sounds like you need the Unmanage Scheduling Utility. There's a writeup on it here: Scheduling unmanage task for nodes, interfaces and applications Note that if you are on 10.0 or later, you will not need to download the tool separately. It's available in the folder where you have Solarwinds installed at…

That will pretty much be your script then, add the command to save at the end. It should look like this. config t access-list 97 permit 10.21.26.192 access-list 97 permit 10.21.26.195 access-list 97 permit 10.21.26.196 access-list 97 permit 10.21.26.197 end copy run start ! The blank lines after the copy run start are…

Glad you found the issue! You may wish to update one or more of the following canned alerts to help detect this condition in the future: * Alert me when a polling engine has not updated the database in 10 minutes * Managed node Last Poll Time > 10 minutes * Managed node missed polls > 5 Note that the last two are not the…

I agree with the suggestion of including the alert name, and had forgotten about that; thank you. At my previous employer, all alerts I created including the alert name (added as a variable) in the body of the emails. I'm recommending the same practice here.

No problem at all. I'm glad I could help! As a side note, these forums are an excellent resource for learning your way around the Solar Winds products. I recommend checking in regularly as I've learned a lot by doing so.

Would that be a thwackpackback?

If you can't ping the end node from the command line of the polling server, it's not the Solarwinds software. The traffic is being either blocked or incorrectly routed in at least one direction. You will need to trace the traffic to see where it is dying, and check the ACLs and routing tables of the intermediate devices to…

"Unplugged" basically tells Orion that when the interface is down, assume that you expect that the interface will go up and down, and don't care to be alerted if it does. Then, if the poller detects that the interface is down, it will change the status to "Unplugged" rather than "Down". This will not trigger alerts based…

Unless I'm missing something, SNMP traps are not yet an option in the web-based Alert Manager. Short of creating a custom SQL alert, I don't see how to do this.

Just a side note that your reply was to a post from 8 years ago, and to a person who last logged in over 3 years ago. It's unlikely they'll ever see it.

...and a partridge in a pear tree.

it should be at the very bottom of the page. If you are editing a single node it will look slightly different, like this. If you view doesn't match, could you please post a screen shot of what you see?

Probably. I was afraid I would forget.

From what I can see it looks like some Broacade devices only generate Syslog when the running-config is changed. If you have all Syslog levels turned on, and changing the config doesn't generate a Syslog entry, then you're probably stuck with SNMP.

I think I had him give my user name as Terry Auspitz and not clubjuggle (which I think I changed it from). Will that matter? I've also been putting it in as Terry Auspitz for the monthly mission. Should I be using clubjuggle?

Yes, once you import this report via Reporter you should be able to change the sort order. You can also edit the .OrionReport file in a text editor. I've done that and attached the file (I changed the ORDER BY to start with outageDurationInMinutes). Note that I don't have direct access to the console at my current…

That's a brilliant idea, actually. I don't see an option to trigger alerts based on contents of the NetPerfMon event log, however. Is that something I would have to write with custom SQL/SWQL?

No problem. I also found this on Blue Coat's support site. You'll probably need to log in to read it. According to the article, for concurrent connections, the MIB you will want is 1.3.6.1.4.1.3417.2.11.3.1.3.1. Also, the attached PDF from Blue Coat provides all the appropriate MIB numbers for monitoring critical resources…

I've been the cause of more than a few facepalms in my life. It's nice to cause one for a positive reason this time!

Yes.

I am currently polling in development, test and production environments from the same Orion instance. We're not currently using the agents, but the same does hold true for agent-based as well as agentless monitoring. I'd say even more so because as agents get upgraded, you'll want to test those upgraded agents before…

Sorry, I assumed you were looking for a way to do this in NPM, and I don't have Kiwi Syslog Monitor in my current environment so I didn't think of that. It looks like that will work just fine.

Oh, right. I forgot that would be a custom SQL alert. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. Sorry.

Welcome! I think you'll grow to like NCM as you use it more and realize the power of what it can do. NCM was my first Solarwinds product, when it was still called Cirrus back in 2008. It's a daunting product, but not a difficult one. Simple scripts are a good place to start. The Policy Reporter, while complex, is also…

Correct. I edited my post (probably while you were typing yours) to note that I requested that SW open a bug report on this.

I could be mistaken, but I think I was awarded points for posting in There must be a better way to manage virtualized systems (which would correspond with the timestamp in your screenshot), but not for Is Your Shop Stuck in 2008?.

Yes, that is the reason. If you were downloading both the running and startup configs, you would see both on the NCM Nost List. The comparison happens locally, so you need to have both the running and startup configurations downloaded in order to make use of the compare job.
