There are separate LLDP tables in Orion. I tried figuring out a way to leverage both, but didn't have enough LLDP devices to work with at the time, and it got really confusing trying to do both at once. You might try looking them up and it should be pretty simple to change this over from what I remember. Sorry, would do it…

There actually is a NCM CDP table that is very close to the NPM CDP table. I used the NPM CDP Table in this example. Using the NCM CDP Table does do it for devices that are in NCM and inventoried, but updates much less frequently. You can increase the frequency of updates by updating the inventory on NCM devices more…

Are you managing the interface in Orion? ie: In "List Interfaces" are they selected?

Not sure what you're asking, can you be more specific?

try "AND NOT (CDP.DeviceID LIKE '%SEP%')"

If you want to make this a searchable resource, you can click on "Enable Search" and put this in the next box... SELECT I.InterfaceName AS [Local Interface], CDP.IPAddress AS [IP Address], DeviceId AS Device, DevicePort AS [Remote Interface], (SELECT N2.DetailsURL from Orion.Nodes N2 JOIN Orion.NodeIPAddresses NIP ON…

Why are they on two different servers? You should get much easier and complete integration by putting them on a single server. If your instance is big enough to not be able to poll both on the one server, that would be solved by getting an additional polling engine (APE) not splitting the servers up...

I see there is an open feature request on this for all those who want to vote on it! https://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/3314

Fun?

You shouldn't need to use a custom poller to get fan status on a 4500 I don't believe... On the node summary under the resource "Current Hardware Health" it should show "Temperature" and "Other". Expand the "Other" and it should show you the fan status. This is from a 4507 on our network. If it isn't showing up, go to…

The current beta 2 of NTA 4.2 is supporting this... Better application traffic visibility - NTA 4.2 Beta using NBAR2

Hmm... Have you looked at this resource I created that goes on a Node Details page? Might be kind of what you're looking for. If not, let me know what you want different... All IP Addresses on a node - potential replacement resource

Sometimes you just have to do a couple rules, this one should be quite simple though. It should simply look for the existence of those two, and should one or the other not exist, put in the logging hosts.

Check out this discussion Filtering for incorrect logging hosts and this one might help you out a bit too Automated Config clean up

Hmm... Just thinking a bit. I think those of us that dislike having FQDN's for each device hate it because it looks bad on maps, reports and resources. I think it might be nice to be able to decouple the domain name from the host name, but still give the option to display it. ie: if you hover over something, rather than…

Thanks, variations on this process have been posted fairly regularly. For those of us that want this though, I think the real solution is to have Solarwinds give us the option to do so. I would encourage everyone to vote on this topic on the already existing feature request!!! The problem with editing them manually or…

Here you go! Sorry the delay, only working thursdays for the rest of the year!! :-)

I think you replied to the wrong message!!

 Every WMI issue I've encountered so far has been security related. ie: the credentials I was using not having permissions. The easiest way to test this is to put in administrator credentials and trying with that, if it works then, you know its credentials related. I believe you control WMI credentials via "wmimgmt.msc".

Yea, don't use Database Manager, as I said before!! Database Manager allows you to turn SQL queries, but this query is an SWQL query. So, download the SDK and it should work. Either that or add it as a resource as in the original post.

Sounds about right. Database manager allows you to run SQL queries. This is a SWQL query. You need to download the SDK to get the SWQL query manager. Otherwise you'll get results like you are getting...

Well, not sure what SqlDbx is, but SWQL is NOT SQL. They are two different languages that bear quite a few similarities. But, you won't be able to run SWQL in an SQL tool most likely. You need to use the SDK to work with this. And yes, the ${NodeID} is filled in by Orion when it is put in a resource on the NodeID page. If…

It should, do you have SWQL studio where you can test the query out manually? This should be put on your Node Details page, otherwise it might have problems.

 Got a quick answer from the support team!! Its a known issue and here is the fix for those interested... This issue is caused by an interaction issue between Orion 9.0 and SP1 for .NEt 3.5. Please complete the following step for a workaround. Edit \Inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\MasterPage.master. Find this line: <form…

Off the top of my head, I don't think there is a way to do it within NPM itself, although you could have something else do it (ie: a router?) and have NPM poll the router to see the results via SNMP? The basics would be to define an IP SLA for an HTTP operation:…

Hmmm... Offhand I'm guessing that the answer is "no" because of the way that webpages and services like akamai and AWS work, not to mention netflow. Netflow itself is a fairly simple technology at the root of it. It watches traffic flows go through an interface, it doesn't know about the how the data got there. It doesn't…

Might want to post this in the SAM forum also, not all SAM people frequent this forum...

Was there a resolution to this? Just upgraded my server to NPM 12 and running into what looks like the same issue. Even tried redoing the query a different way and still getting the "Query not valid" and no indication as to why it isn't. Not seeing anything in my Orion.InformationService.log either, although mine is in…

In general, unless a device routes traffic and has a backup link, if the connection back to the polling server goes down, you lose connectivity. Which link that is depends on the perspective. If the router is at the location the polling engine is for example, it would be its LAN interface. If the router is at a remote…

So, now for the potential downfalls. I do find it interesting that you're able to go "across" EOL boundaries in the regex without explicitly telling it where the EOL is, this can be both good and dangerous. Why you ask? So, in here "\s+" matches whitespace, while .* matches anything - I'm guessing including the EOL. The…
