Sorry to see you go, best luck in your new adventure. I just hope its not as a poet!! :-)

I tend to use mailing lists on the mail server for groups of people rather than listing them out in an alert. That way if someone needs to be added or leaves, you can simply edit the mailing list rather than potentially multiple alerts. Also makes it easier for someone to add/delete people without having to give them…

So, if you're doing something like DMVPN or MPGRE, or more specifically using NHRP for your tunnels, you can have the tunnel interface status track the NHRP status instead, which is usually more accurate.…

No SAM here either.

Are you using NHRP? If so, this might help. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/network-performance-monitor-npm/f/forum/66734/easy-way-to-monitor-dmvpn-tunnels

Can you set up a probe on a Cisco router? No Yes, you would need to put the probe on a windows machine at the site. Yes, it does have an impact on performance, but a single probe won't have a significant impact. I think each windows box can have about 20 probes on it. The way Netpath works is it sends out 100 probes for…

One example of customers putting routers on their side of a link would be the CE/PE concept in MPLS networks, its possible for the provider to do the CE/PE functionality in their router and just give an ethernet link, but at that time most customers wanted their own router on the border. I've worked at two different…

So, this VERSA company owns the routers and won't do it for you? Rather rude. To be honest, I don't think I'd be overly happy with another company owning my WAN routers and not giving me any access there. I'd probably want to put routers, or maybe firewalls, between their routers and my LANs, that way you have the ability…

It depends on how you interpret this. You shouldn't be able to access the web service on the main server from outside the subnet that server resides on. You could potentially log in to that server and http to localhost to do it though. That being said, you'll need to download the installation package to somewhere else and…

 Great to hear they're responding to our needs!! That's one thing I've always liked about Solarwinds, they might break something at times, but they tend to be much more responsive to their customers requests. I'm also very happy for these forums, they've really impressed that for right now, 9.1 isn't something I want to…

Well, we finally got our demo server back up and online and were still having the same problems as before. I had somewhat resigned myself to not having it fixed before a demo we're doing next week, but saw this in the release notes for 3.1SP2: - A condition where TCP traffic was not monitored if it passed through any…

Sounds like a good attitude. Personally I love it when "Release Notes" are just that, a dump of all the little changes that went on in a release, maybe not the technical details, but at least what the effects are. Hate to say it, but your release-notes are more of a marketing hype at times. I used to feel pretty…

I did submit a ticket on the 9th or 10th at Andy's instruction, he said he'd look into it. I don't have the ticket number available and can't search open/closed tickets on your site, which would be a nice feature BTW! It would be associated with our company (Robert Bosch) if that helps.

Perhaps they think that people don't want to pay to monitor less expensive VoIP solutions to any extent. If they went with a cheap phone system, maybe they aren't willing to pay for it! Cisco and Avaya at one point made up ~50% of the VoIP market share, followed by Siemens and NEC taking up close to another quarter of the…

Hmmm... I'm getting a bit confused. This thread is old and for a different problem. Why don't you start a new post and show us how you set up your alert and such. That way we can start fresh on what you're trying to do. Doesn't make sense in the context of the original question that you'd have to join all those tables...

Any update on this? The way it started it sounded as if Solarwinds would be providing a solution, but the way this conversation ended sounded like you are waiting on Microsoft to fix it or for customers that require it to find another way (ie: NetSNMP). Trying to figure this out myself. For some systems its not a problem.…

I would think rather than make this so specific to certain commands as shown in "Use Case 1" and "Use Case 2", you could put in a feature that is much less command-specific, while much more powerful. What I'm suggesting I guess is that you give us the ability to first apply a filter or set of filters to the configuration…

Having the same problem. Removing the files in C:\temp fixes the problem. Sounds like someone should be doing some garbage control!! :-)

Any word on this? We're hoping to get the demo server back up and running with a new license soon and would love to have the Netflow functioning on it...

Hmmm... NodesData is a NPM table, not a UDT table. It should have all your devices in it... How new of a NPM installation is it?

There is a capture in a previous response here, if you need something other than what that has, just let me know and I'll get it.

Hmm.. Is this a fairly new installation? Curious if you started with 11.5 or something. I believe in 11.5, the dbo.Nodes table was actually removed, so its now a View that was made to accommodate old queries. Curious if an installation that was done post-change would still have the "Nodes" view or not. Either way, the new…

I tend to do "ip flow ingress" on all the ports rather than do both on one port. Tends to be more accurate, esp. if you put both on multiple ports. However, if that was the problem you'd be seeing more Netflow data rather than less. It would double the traffic on you. Guessing you might have these settings done already,…

 Any kind of compression happening on the Interface? Do you have 64 bit counters being allowed? I assume its a Gigabit interface that its coming in on? Did you ask the provider if you can burst on occassion?

Just as an FYI - you could do the same change in logic for the SWQL I suggested before and potentially get your page to render quicker by not going through the reporting engine. I think it would be something like this... SELECT NodeName, IPAddress, '/Orion/images/StatusIcons/' + StatusIcon AS [_IconFor_NodeName],…

Looks like you already found this discussion? It should work I would think unless you have something wrong... Automated Config clean up

Sorry, must have gotten mixed up in the cutting / pasting / editing IP's on that config snippet. Can't post real configs because they're classified. I don't think that snippet would have even passed the "Check parenthesis" check in NCM!! Yes, I realize that the regex can be modified to work, you can make a regex fit pretty…

Well, that isn't quite right... You are correct in that running it only on config blocks where it found the violations is the intended result of this feature. However, in reality you can pervert it to do other things, which is what I've done in many cases. So, in a "normal" usage, your config block start would be an…

Ah, but at those critical times, is the server actually going slower - or is your brain just working quicker?! 

Trying to do the same thing using the UnDP in the library, but I'm only getting a single value on the graph. Any ideas?
