Hmm... Had to do something with my dev server, which is running NPM 12, and I believe the recommendation to stay away from trying to set a full screen title bar is even more so with version 12. Definitely upgrade and check it out, or check out a demo on Solarwinds.com, before putting much effort into doing this.

Have you tried going directly to the "download agents" page? ie "/Orion/AgentManagement/Admin/DownloadAgent.aspx"? Also note that for some reason you have to be a full admin on the box, being just a "node admin" doesn't hack it to get to some of the agent tools you would need to deploy the agent. I think even getting to…

How are you trying to log in? I recommend using "Orion (v3) AD" if you're using integrated windows authentication or SAML or something like that. But it depends on how your security is set up on the server.

Netpath doesn't employ ICMP as its primary mechanism like Windows traceroute does. Where windows traceroute (tracert) uses ICMP echo packets and varies the TTL on them, Netpath will use the protocol TCP and the port you designate it to use. Usually Netpath will get very good results, but that is dependent on some things.…

Ok, found them, but I'll still have to say that I'd love for them to work the same way they used to work. When they were in the inbox, it had a list of my streams and next to the stream, if there were updates in that stream, there would be a little box that not only indicated that there were updates in the stream, but give…

Have you tried unzipping the file and importing that?

Yes, everything will be installed on the Primary poller/server. If you set up an APE for it, which for the new style SAM licenses you can have as many APE's for SAM nodes as you want for free, you will install the APE and then tell the nodes to be polled by the APE rather than the primary server.

Been awhile since I've worked with ASA's, but usually it has something to do with either the interface you're trying to poll, usually its best to do the internal interface on the FW if Solarwinds is on the inside. Either that or security, make sure the traffic is permitted on whatever relevant interface. There are a ton of…

Maybe some screen shots of what you've accomplished so far? Or at least the queries you're using? Even if you used the "graphical query builder" you should be able to take a screenshot of what you've done and paste it here?

Cisco 3750's support SSHv2, it was supported by most, if not all, Cisco devices long before the 3750 even came out! Rather than working on getting v1 to work, which is very insecure, why not move the 3750's over? You might have to generate a new crypto key, and then do an "ip ssh version 2" and you should be set!

I've never used neighbor scanning, but I'll take a stab at it. I'm assuming your meaning the hostname doesn't show up in IPAM since that's what you were discussing? IPAM I believe can get the hostname of a device either via DNS hostname resolution, or via SNMP. This would be similar to NPM which can read the hostname or…

You should also check on your device and make sure that flow packets are being sent, on a cisco router this might be "show flow exporter statistics". Then check and make sure you can ping the Solarwinds server from the interface that flow statistics are being sent out on. If you aren't specifying the source interface, or…

Forgot to mention, if your not remarking on the same router, that would suggest to me that your not remarking properly or that your dropping your markings somewhere else, maybe on a LAN switch?

 I did just notice another thing I hadn't noticed before. In the 9.0 upgrade you changed around the Admin menu a bit to make it more useful/pleasing. However, you were still able to get to the old menu by clicking on some of the options. Now you can't and I did notice that at least one thing I would use on occassion is…

Not sure about the NTA portion of the question, not much info to go by. But, with SNMPv3, there are usually 2 parts to the puzzle. Auth (Authentication) and Priv (Privacy / Encryption). If I'm remembering right, SNMP Auth will usually give you options like MD5 and SHA1 (use SHA1!) while SNMP Priv will give you options like…

Ok, a question first. Are these Layer-3 interfaces, like on a router or layer-3 switch, or are they Layer-2 interfaces? The reason I ask is, if its a layer-3 IP on the interface, you can probably get that with NPM. That's because the IP is assigned to the interface itself, and not the device connected to the interface. If…

So, I'm guessing your using the OOTB (Out-of-the-box) alert on when an interface goes down? This is probably the issue. And remember, you definitely DON'T need to enable all the OOTB alerts. Quite a few of them you might not want to. Many folks don't care if an interface goes down, so they leave this one off. But, that…

Not sure if I can help or not, but am a bit confused. Do you want a resource that displays the CPU of each CPU, as you illustrated in your message? Or are you looking to do an alert on each CPU separately where if it goes above a certain % it emails you or something? Wasn't quite sure from how you asked the question.

It's an F5 issue. I believe your virtual server configuration has source-address-translation set to Automap or SNAT pool. Change the source-address-translation to "none".…

What kind of VPN devices do you have? Is it a single box, or multiple? If multiple, is there a load-balancer in front of it, like Pulse Secure offers something called a "traffic manager"? Or maybe an F5? We had our pulse secure VPN boxes configured with a pair of traffic managers in front, and while the actual VPN boxes…

Is the second device a failover device? ie: it only becomes fully active when the primary fails? If so, you probably need to manage it via an OOB (out of band) management port, and even that might not get great results. Sometimes managing a failover pair can be challenging. But, before I get to far along with this I should…

This would be handled by your local DNS servers mostly, with some configuration in your IIS server. Does someone internal to your company network manage the DNS servers? That's half the battle. You'd configure it up as an alias for the server your WHD is hosted on then configure IIS to recognize it. If you don't have local…

And what mode of HA are you using? Are you using a VIP on the same subnet, or are they on different subnets?

Second that, check the interface(s) configuration. Also wanted to point out, looks like your trying to do both a netflow inbound and outbound policy. Best practices say to do "inbound" on all your interfaces rather than inbound and outbound on any one interface. Not sure if that model does bidirectional netflow either.…

It's been awhile since I've worked with Fortinet stuff, but I do remember that once we had to get into the text-based config to set the source interface of the messages so they could get back to whatever we were working on. At that point at least the web GUI didn't have the option anywhere to set, but if you dropped to the…

Guessing something like that could be accomplished in a simple SQL query in the database manager. Something along the lines of UPDATE Nodes N SET (Caption = SUBSTRING(N.Caption, 1, LEN(N.Caption) - 1)) WHERE N.Caption LIKE '%01'

Baseline vs Config Conflict sounds like an NCM thing, not NPM? The equivalent of that I think would be in the newer SCM, Server Configuration Manager?

Did you get it into enable mode in the script? I find the compliance portion of NCM to be easier to do things like this overall. Here is a link to a similar task, making sure invalid NTP servers aren't used by removing those and setting the correct ones.…

Well, you have to understand how the underlying technologies work. Using SNMP Solarwinds will periodically poll the device for byte counters on each monitored interface. Usually this period is every 9 minutes, not exactly real time, but doesn't overload your polling engine either. You can adjust this to be faster or slower…

I believe what you're wanting is in the Server and Application Monitor, or SAM, module. If you get that monitoring services and applications should be easy to do!!
