  • Well, remember I said that Policy Violations is very different from reporting. So now I need to say that what I'm discussing right now is NCM 7.3, the new NCM 7.4 which is in Release Candidate stage has move to a new reporting engine that should have much better integration to the rest of the reporting in NPM. But, for now…
  • Configure SNMP communities for your AP's with the 5500 controllers and I believe you should also set them up to send SNMP traps to Orion. Add the individual AP's in to Orion. You should get quite a bit simply doing that. But, you can also create maps of your sites using Network Atlas, drop the AP's you've managed on to…
  • You are correct, in an environment with WAN compression, doing ingress monitoring on the LAN interfaces will show more traffic than is actually going out the WAN interface. If you do egress on the WAN interface, you get post-compression statistics. If you do ingress on the LAN interface you get pre-compression statistics.…
  • Maybe here? Home · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub
  • mrxinu‌ is partially right, if all you have is NPM, you are SOL. Nothing else you can do that I can think of... However, if you have NCM, it does inventory the devices, so lets see what we can do. First off, we're going to leverage mrxinu‌ SWQL that he gave us above that so nicely illustrated how to you the linking…
  • I've also found that the method used for logging into a device can matter a bit. When possible use only SSHv2, it seems to be the most stable from what I've found. SSHv1 is very unstable IMHO. So, you would have to make sure "ip ssh version 2" is done on your IOS devices, and in the Orion profiles you should make sure…
  • Aw shucks, that one was easy... :-) Almost didn't answer or even read it all because I saw all the replies and figured someone else already did, but noticed it was still tagged as " Not Answered" so I kept reading... If you haven't looked through the list of functions available in the SDK documentation, its highly…
  • Just shooting blindly, rather than do it as a report, have you thought about doing it as an SWQL query? Then you would add the resource to the page as as a "Custom Query" resource instead... I'm thinking it would look something like below. I didn't have your custom property, so I substituted one of my own when I tested…
  • Yea, not a big fan of removing data from the files manually. You can really mess things up that way!! You did check the configs on the devices to see if the old IP is a secondary IP already? Never got an answer on that question...
  • Assuming you checked the configs to make sure when they did the transition they didn't leave the old IP in place as a secondary IP on the interface? You might like this BTW, a potential replacement I made for the "All IP Addresses" resource. At the very least, the queries should let you know where in the database it might…
  • Oh, guess I misunderstood. You're not wanting an "on demand" thing like the toolkit offers, but a continuous monitoring like Orion does, but just ping and with an interval of every 30 seconds? Is that correct? I think I also gleaned that every 30 seconds you want it to do 10 pings instead of just one? The only way I can…
  • Well, one thing to remember is all the SNMP portion of this does is spur NCM to download a config. It has nothing to do with that part of the process beyond starting it up. Once a config is downloaded by NCM, it compares it to the previous configuration(s). During this process it checks what is configured in the…
  •  And of course, all this should be tied into AD better. I for one would like to be able to assign functionality based on AD groups rather than individual users. ie: users in one AD group can sign in and see this group of nodes, while another group would allow users to see and administer another group of nodes... Right now…
  • Not quite sure what to tell you. If you can SSH to it from your server that is hosting NCM and you have the profile set up correctly, it should work just fine. "Connection Refused" acts like there is a access-list or something preventing the communications. Just to make sure, you only have the one solarwinds server, no…
  • I would doubt anything with "Notepad" in the name would handle the file format correctly!! :-) You need something that will handle a Unix file format correctly. Oh, in looking up what the heck "Notepad++" is, it looks as if there is a menu item that is called "EOL Conversion -> "Unix/OSX Format". This might explain it…
  • No, you must do it in the application on the server at this time. I doubt it will change soon, although I could be wrong. That application hasn't changed a bit since I've seen it though, and its been around since before NCM which has slowly since been converted to web based. Not to mention they talked about moving alerts…
  • Not 100% sure that will work, using UDT that is. UDT is geared towards learning client IP addresses that are connected to switchports. So I can see a couple problems there, first you would need to manage all your router ports, then it would have to discover the IP of the router itself, not a client connected to the port.…
  •  They have tons of documentation online over at www.solarwinds.net. Be sure to check out their video tuturials, you'd be interested in the "Alerts" oriented ones... www.solarwinds.com/.../tutorials.aspx
  • Actually its quite easy to get rid of them. Go to "Manage Nodes" in the settings page and pull up one of the nodes, it will probably have a grey square next to it like below. Hit the little + key to expand the node so it becomes a - like below. See all the greyed out interefaces? Those are old ones from before it was…
  • I think I know what the issue is, try going into the "Interface Details" and click on "Edit Interface". In the "Bandwidth" section I'm betting the values aren't what they should be. It should be a "gigabit/sec" which is 1000 Mb/s. I'm guessing the values are probably 10 or 100. It's probably not discovering correctly for…
  • Yea, I'm pretty happy too, and have been flailing around with it quite a bit longer too!! It knew it was wrong to say that you couldn't do it with regex's, I know better than that, and I figured if I was going to say it was overly complex I should at least figure out how to do it first! The results were better and easier…
  • Yes, it is positionally dependent as to when it catches the offending lines. I don't think it's strictly the last one on the list, although its definitely easier for it to catch them at the end. There are times where it can catch things in the middle of a list too, but it would be dependent on the lines around it. Not sure…
  • Hmm... I was going to the database just to make sure whether or not it was there and there wasn't some display problem... To be honest, I didn't know this existed, but you CAN turn off auditing apparently. Go to "Settings" and "Web Console Settings", under "Auditing Settings" you want to "Enable Audit Trails". Ya live, ya…
  • Does something similar exist for the CSV type reports? Tried this and it didn't help me get rid of the error. Didn't see any apparent similar thing for CSV reports... ie: no ExportToCSVCmd.exe.config that I could see...
  • Your query looks rather complex to translate into SWQL, for me at least. If you have the query working, stick with Orion Web Reporter and look at my first message to help figure out how to get the icons showing, should be simple. My first message was referring to the web reporter...
  • Sorry, report writer / web reporter, that's what I meant. What I posted should help you out. What way you want to do it depends on how you want the info. A resource on a page would be more of an on-demand type thing that shows up on a summary page or something. A web-reporter can be on demand, or you can schedule it, plus…
  • Well, you can get this info out of UDT as-is. If you search by a mac-address, it will give you a history. But I'm guessing you're looking for a report that will take a given switch and report on the mac's that have moved on that switch, or even possibly to a new switch? Right off hand I can't think of an easy way to do…
  • I believe that "Live Mode" instead of giving you a snapshot in Orion of the traps, gives you a constantly updating resource. ie: the first if you left it on the page would wait until the page refreshed to show you new traps. The "Live Mode" shows you new traps as soon as they come in without having to refresh.
  • You know, before I tell you a potential way to solve it, should probably try the easy ways first. I know when I added our 4 Pulse Secure 7000-f's, one of the 4 got added a little oddly where instead of seeing it as a box with 8 CPU's, it thought it only had 1. The first thing to try is to do a "Rediscover" followed by 3 or…
  • You know, I don't think its a "version" thing. I'm on 2019.4 and the aggregate sum worked for awhile when I first configured it, but now it doesn't. Going to open a ticket on it, did any of you do the same?
