You can probably get it from the Orion.NetPath.Performances table using SWQL. The problem might be interpreting the data that is there. Have you considered putting the "esports server" as an ICMP-only node? If all you're looking for is latency/drops in general, that should give you easier access to the data. If you're…

Yea, if I leave things set to default I get all kinds of errors on SFP's, so I ended up disabling that! If I remember right, some of the errors were due to having an SFP installed in an switchport that wasn't being used. I tried figuring out how to disable it based on the interface being down, but as you said the hardware…

Are you installing the agent from the Solarwinds GUI, or just installing it manually?

Sounds like you got some good answers already! But, just a hint. You can always leave the old username/password in place without changing it. Just put a totally new SNMPv3 Username/Password on all devices, change to use that, and then delete the old one. Shouldn't have any down time no matter what!

You know, all that being said, there is a way you can check to see if port 22 is up on a port periodically using NPM. But, it won't show up in Node Status. You could use NetPath probes to check port 22 on devices. Not sure if that would work for you or not?

So, not all that familiar with ACI, but hear its a lot like VxLAN, which I only know the basics of. In VxLAN there is an underlay network, that is only used to connect all the equipment together to allow for the overlay network to actually transport the traffic. Connectivity between endpoints though I think is actually…

To the best of my knowledge, there are two ways to determine the status of a node. Via ICMP, the default, or you can change it to use the SNMP connectivity for status. This is done in "List Resources" for a node at the top where it says "Status & Response Time". ICMP is usually selected, but you can change it to SNMP. No…

Yes. github.com/.../SWQL-Functions

Hmm.. Just my own $.02, which is worth even less these days! First thing to remember is that syslog is lossy data, even if you change from UDP syslog messages to TCP, you should never count on getting every single one of them. Will you get the vast, vast majority? Yes. I don't think Kiwi was ever meant to be an HA…

Just to be sure, the variable ${NodeID} is a number that Orion assigns to a node, not a name. Putting the name of the node in the second query won't work, you'll have to put the numerical NodeID there. If you bring up that node in Orion, you'll see the NodeID in the URL...

Hmm... It is possible to do a report on Alerts that happened during a given period, that were related to CPU, and to report on what time those alerts happened? Is that what you are looking for? The problem is that Alert History isn't part of the standard reporting engine choices, so you'd have to craft a Custom SWQL query…

Click on the "Always trust this host" button, the error should go away. Of course you need to trust the host though!

Delete all the files on it? Ok, the DB server would cease to function as one, but... :-) Without more details though, no idea...

Underpowered system? Anti-virus causing slowdowns? Are you running the database on the same server as the poller? What are you polling exactly? WMI or SNMP? You are giving very little details to try and answer a very vague question. Lots of things could cause this.

I stand corrected, some of them are supported to some extent through 2027! Wow, didn't expect that...

Well, for one, STOP USING TELNET. Very insecure. Switch to SSH version 2. Hopefully you're running one of the latest versions of 2960X software, pretty sure that platform has been out of support for years. If not, upgrade to the latest version of the software for it and it will probably fix your issue. But, stop using…

You probably can, although without your custom properties it would be difficult for me to test. Just add in your service provider as one column and group by it. The big caveat is if you're doing this as a web resource I'm pretty sure it will put the service provider on each line. But, if you do this in report writer, I…

I think that's fairly common, even if you do a "show interface" and look at the subinterfaces they don't give you traffic, so I don't think it reports that via SNMP either. If you're doing L3 on the interfaces, you might be able to get something via Netflow? Not sure on that though...

I don't think you can log in using SAML creds to SWQL studio, there is no way to do the assertion (I think that's the right term?). I think the first choice in the dropdowns is strictly for local accounts? The easiest way I've found to log in to SWQL studio is to add an AD account and use the Orion [v3] AD account... At…

So, have you tried playing with SWQL Studio with it? If you bring it up and go to that "Verb" in the object explorer, you can right click on it and choose "Invoke". Takes a minute or so, but it will bring up a requester with the variables it needs to invoke it. In this case "configId1", "configId2" and "settings", no…

Hmm.. You could probably get the AS number on the node by creating a custom property, then you could use an Alert to populate that custom property off the AS number. However, some quick looking by me didn't turn up any obvious AS number for a node. In the RoutingNeighbors table there was the AS of the neighbor, but... .…

Ok, quick basics for everyone who hasn't worked with Compliance Reports before. There are 3 components, Rules, Policies and Reports. A Rule is just that, a rule that describes what an acceptable part of a configuration is. Rules should be fairly short and concise, the bigger you make one, the more difficult it can be to…

Sounds like you need more accounts for more granular permissions!

I put in a feature request on this! https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/network-performance-monitor-npm/i/feature-requests/discovery-retention

You should also look into Compliance Rules and remediation. It can be much more powerful than running scripts and can help with automation like that.

You should be able to do nested queries in the SELECT portion where you select which column you want using the AssignmentName field and rename the multiple STATUS results using "AS". ie: something along the lines of SELECT Q1.STATUS AS [Status1], (SELECT Q2.STATUS AS [Status2] FROM Orion.NPM.CustomPollerStatusOnNode Q2…

I'm not a fan of the online testing, so I'm hoping you will move to a method that allows "in-person" testing again. I know a few others feel this way also and are, like me, letting their certs expire until a better solution comes around. Guessing this number will just continue to grow.

I have it store them on the local filesystem, then replicate the folder to the fileshare that I want. Works pretty well, you can do it with windows itself, although there are 3rd party tools that make it much easier!

Just running into this, did you ever find a tool that will work with this?

Remember that it will store multiple copies of the configs, esp. if you have it set to download a config after every change. So the file name pattern you use shouldn't be such that it can conflict. Can get a bit tricky if you aren't careful.
