You should be able to manually kick off a database maintenance, but if the trouble persists I would suggest opening a support case. Neither of those situations sounds normal.

I did a little research and found that the OID for the net-snmp extend is indexed based on the name of the used in the configuration. That is, each letter in the name is converted to its ASCII equivalent. If I’m reading this correctly, this should guarantee that the OID’s assignment will persist regardless of reboots,…

It looks like they haven't made the link live yet. The "submit week 1 phrase" text above will probably go blue when they do.

I have created an alternative APC UPS application monitor, posted here: APC UPS - Updated Michael's template above appears to focus mainly on power quality. The application monitor I created focuses on different OIDs (though there is some overlap) and is more geared toward detecting conditions such as battery failures, UPS…

LOL at tapping the clock face! On the node details page for the node in question, look at the Polling Details section. If the time listed for "Next Poll" is in the past (by more than a minute or two) then the device has stopped responding to polling. If that's the case, you'll need to resolve the polling issue (check to…

If the custom property isn't mandatory, "is not equal to yes" will also pick up cases where nothing was selected and the value is null. "Is equal to no" will not include those.

There is a Linux File Age Monitor posted in the Content Exchange here. Is that what you need?

Do they have to shut down only certain pieces of equipment, or everything at the site?

Can you give us a sanitized example of what you want to do? Specifically what the access list looks like now and what you want it to look like after you're done. You can change the IP addresses, ports, etc., used in the list if they are sensitive.

Probably the easiest is to modify the UnDP to bring it in as text.

Go to Manage Nodes, change the view from Nodes to Interfaces, select the interfaces you want, edit properties, and click the checkbox for "Display interface as unplugged rather than down." This will cause NPM to report an interface status of of "Unplugged" when the interface is down, preventing the triggering of any alerts…

I would imagine you would have database schema mismatch issues unless you're willing to restore your database from a pre-upgrade backup. Given Diner‌'s post indicating that the problem has been found and the fix is being tested, I would say that your premise that SW will not find a solution looks unlikely, and that it's…

1. If you buy the SL2000 license, it allows you to manage a total of 2,000 nodes across your entire installation. It does not matter how you balance them across the pollers. 2. You really want your pollers to be local to the SQL server. That said, the amount of WAN traffic your pollers will generate is minimal. Polling…

With 650 devices on your network, it's highly unlikely that polling capacity is your issue. In any case, even if you do want additional pollers, you're better off placing them at the same site where the SQL server is located. The polling does not generate much WAN traffic, but trying to communicate between the pollers and…

This sounds like you have some type of active blocking, like an intrusion prevention system, which may be identifying traffic from the poller as malicious and blocking it. If you have the same problem pinging from the command line, the issue isn't with the poller. I would try your normal troubleshooting steps (traceroutes…

Off the top of my head, three things to check. 1. Is the IP address you are pinging the same as the IP NPM is using to monitor? 2. Do you get responses when you ping that address from the command line of the Orion poller that is polling this node? 3. Are monitoring status and response time via ICMP or SNMP? You can check…

Can you access the switches via SNMP using anything but Orion? Can you discover any other devices using SNMP? Are there any access lists on the switches (or any intermediate devices) that may be blocking SNMP traffic to the switch from your Orion server (or blocking responses back to the Orion server)?

As you have the alert structured now, this alert will never evaluate true. The Alert Engine is evaluating the alert criteria against each individual transaction playback. Since the playback can't possibly have two different names at the same time, these conditions will never be met. With the current version of Advanced…

Here's mine.

Your conditions under the ANY should be indented another level... unfortunately you will need to create them again to accomplish this. It should look like this: Trigger Alert when all of the following apply Volume Percent Used is greater than 80 Trigger Alert when any of the following apply Volume Description is equal to…

Email sent. I can't want to see what you've come up with!

1. No, permissions are not cumulative. I suppose that's because permission settings can be contradictory, but I can't be sure of that. There would be a lot of "do what I mean" here. 2. We have AD groups that are used specifically for the Solarwinds platform, and assign those groups permissions with AD. There's a default…

I am hitting this same issue in 11.5. Can anyone confirm whether this is still an open issue?

Run the Configuration Wizard again on the primary Solarwinds server, and choose the Database option to configure the database. It will re-create the default admin account, with default password and permissions.

This one is actually really easy. From the Manage Nodes screen, select the interfaces in question, Edit Properties, and check the box for "Display interface as unplugged rather than down" for any interface where you don't care about up/down. Make sure any alerts that report on an interface "Not up" also have "not…

I had an issue recently where maintenance was failing due to the log drive on the SQL server filling up. How full are the drives on your SQL server, especially the drive with your log files?

In version 7.2, under NCM settings there is an option to manage licensed nodes under NCM. You turn NCM monitoring for each node on or off there. If you upgrade to 7.3, the databases are integrated and there is a checkbox to enable or disable NCM under the main Node Properties page for each node.

Hi AJ, long time no talk! I hope all is well. It looks like the Brocade devices can generate an Informational-level Syslog entry that would look like this: Jan 19 12:27:03:I:Security: running-config was changed by netops from ssh client 10.31.19.16 You should be able to key the action off of "running-config was changed"…

Yes, the install is completely self-contained. The only potential exception could be if you need to update the license keys, but there's an offline option available for that. That said, it's probably in your best interest to see what you can do about getting access to at least the Solarwinds site from that server to…

These can all be done as straight upgrades with no intermediate steps. A few tips: 1. Backup your database first. I've never needed it, but backup your database first. 2. If you have both a primary poller and additional polling engines, upgrade the primary server before the APEs. 3. Stop all SolarWinds services on all…
