It should work I would think. It sounds like the Viptella configuration is a bit limited in options but that it should work. If you go into "Netflow Summary", do you see your device? Does it show any "Last Received Netflow"? ie: Did you make sure you're sending the data on UDP port 2055? Also make sure the interface you…

Netpath doesn't really relate directly to a given interface necessarily. ie: if you're using Netpath to watch a bunch of cloud services, the Netpath will go out your external connection(s) and take quite a few steps that you probably don't have the ability to see if an interface is up or down. Yes, you can alert if your…

See, I always go into SWQL studio and right-click on the table I want and do a "GENERATE SELECT STATEMENT" myself. Never used the Metadata tables. I'm sure quite a few people would love it if someone were to generate PowerShell "procedures" that could be used to hide the back-end SWQL from being used directly for simple…

At the top of the main thwack page, you'll see a link to get into the Thwackcamp sessions. Either that or the main banner has Thwackcamp stuff on it too. You do need to register, but pretty sure you can do that today even. So you should be good either way.

Yea, that's one of the reasons we don't want them to get rid of Network Atlas at this point, there are some things you can do in it that you can't do in Orion Maps. We are doing pretty much exactly what you want in Network Atlas right now, displaying a "per group" map on each Group page. Simply add a "Map" resource type…

I did some testing on FTP vs SCP on both local and remote sites doing upgrades. The three scenarios I tested, within the same LAN, east coast site - east coast DC to nearby site, east coast DC to west coast site and in all of them FTP was significantly faster. It wasn't even close, maybe I had something set up wrong with…

Still a feature request, and one that has only received 10 votes - so not much chance of it being implemented any time soon I would guess! Convince others to vote it up if you want it badly!!

Wow, we run Netflow on quite a few of our T1's with NetQoS and even in our doing testing with Orion NTA we've never had netflow be that much data. Were you monitoring a Layer-3 switch or switches across the link or something? Never heard that before!!

You have to set it up on the node I believe for the SNMP type for a device. However, you have to have the device itself set up correctly too, using the same auth type for traps. Notes from the NPM Admin guide say: Note: When using SNMPv3 for polling a device and receiving traps from it, confirm that the same authentication…

Yes, definitely does have Node Admin rights. 

I would think as long as your site-to-site VPN's didn't restrict the traffic that IPAM wants (things like PING and maybe SNMP) that it should work for what its capabilities are. I can't think of any reason it wouldn't. If you're planning on running straight IPSEC vs. a GRE/IPSEC combination, you might have some problems…

Hmm.. Played with this a bit, couldn't find what I wanted in the NCM tables, so I switched to NPM tables instead. This probably means to get complete reports you would need NPM to manage all interfaces that you're interested in. If you are ok with a single line per vlan, this report will work (ie: if a switchport has 5…

This feature request might help! 

CS0 or "Class Selector 0" is one QoS marking of many that can aid you in determining what traffic is more important in getting from one end to the other. You can see ratings of CS0 through CS7, and generally speaking the lower the # the less important the traffic is. So, CS0 traffic is also known as "Best Effort", "Bulk",…

 Ahh... When I saw that dropdown I didn't think I could edit it... Even read the documentation and didn't see anything... Doesn't seem to flow with your UI in general, I would think where it shows "All Defined Pollers" in their groups that you should be able to right click on it and do a "new". However, thinking about how…

I don't remember ever being able to do that. I've always "Saved As" and then loaded it into excel or something. Pretty sure I can still cut/paste a single cell...

Although, it could be tied to your NCM version also, which the new 7.4 has tons of new goodies!!

It depends on what modules you have. The basics would be one server for NPM and most if not all modules, one server for SQL. The third server depends a bit on what modules you have. For instance, if you have NTA, you would want one server for the Flow Storage Database, while NTA itself gets installed on the main server. Or…

It never takes me that long either, nowhere near it actually! The only part of the process that usually takes awhile is the "Optimizing website" portion, but you can skip that if you want...

Hmmm... I think your flow record is causing the problem. I believe the flow record needs to be in a certain format, or at least close to the format that solarwinds wants to look for... Here is a document that covers several types of netflow configurations for solarwinds.…

I had set it to a higher value to try and accomodate another problem, that being of our server "locking up" every so often. Usually recycling the w3p service causes things to work better. I've tried adjusting the settings on the application pools to recycle the worker processes more often and thought setting the # of…

Not sure I understand completely what you're looking for, but hopefully this will get you part way there. Just a quick stab at it. I'm sure you could filter or group on specific violations if you wanted to. Not 100% sure that compliance works the way you're looking for it too. If you add in PCR.RuleName into the select…

Be sure to check out Compliance Reporting, IMHO much more powerful than config change templates...

A couple things to check, in the "Device Templates Management", which is web-based in newer NCM versions, although you'll have to scramble looking at text files for older versions, you will see something like this that will list all the commands NCM uses once it logs into the device, this is the one for "HP Switch" which…

And for those of us behind firewalls and proxy servers, is there a way for it to authenticate while going through these? I'm trying to get this working but not having much luck at all. Even tried loading the weather map into a known directory on the server itself, but since we have AD integration tied in, it can't load the…

Hmm... I think I'm running into that issue. Might be nice to have this configurable...

David is correct in that Netflow can send on any port you want, and that NTA can receive the Netflow on different ports just fine also. And its fine to have another NTA server, whether it be Solarwinds NTA or a different companies NTA, receiving Netflow on a different server. However, if you wanted to have 2 NTA servers,…

Ditto, I can't find anything on how to make this work. I thought maybe the existing nodes I had manually added were interfering, so I removed them, no luck . Tried turning the setting off and on in the Web Console settings, nothing. Added new nodes, nothing. So, what is the magic to get this stuff working? Does the SNMP…

Jan Pelousek - I think you're reference SQL, not SWQL. While this is easily accomplished in SQL, I don't believe it is possible in SWQL. You can't embed SQL in a webpage without doing it as a Report Writer resource. SWQL stuff tends to run much quicker and I like the results better on a page.

I hate replying to a post that is already solved, but I didn't see the method I use to try and figure out how the Solarwinds guys accomplish things in reports. For example, in this case you want to know how to do a report for the previous month. There are a ton of Orion reports that are for "Last Month" already and they…
