  • You can probably make it a bit more efficient by leveraging the built in table relationships in SWQL. ie: something like this: SELECT n.caption, n.ipaddress, sum(n.Volumes.VolumeSize) as [disk] from orion.nodes n WHERE NOT (n.Volumes.Volumesize is NULL) group by n.caption, n.IPAddress With no "JOIN" in there it makes it…
  • Yep, just rerun the discovery...
  • Vote on solving this issue! 
  • NTA by default does not report on all traffic flows, only what it considers to be interesting. What does it consider to be interesting? Go to your NTA settings, then look at "Applications and Service Ports - Choose the applications and ports that you want to monitor". This is a list of everything that is currently…
  • Agreed! Might take a bit of persistence with busy Solarwinds folks, but they always follow through on a promise!
  • Think of NPM as the main software and NTA as an add-on to it. NPM does pretty much all of the polling of Cisco devices, or other SNMP devices (ie: not Windows servers). NTA mainly listens to Netflow data that is sent out from the devices. NPM will also listen to things like SNMP traps. Most of the information you were…
  • Try doing it as a custom query using SWQL instead? Might give you what you want, I do all kinds of things that return many, many records and you can control how its displayed.
  • Yep, you're behind the times a bit. NCM7.4 is required for this feature.
  • For those that read a lot of my posts, going to sound like a broken record, but this looks like a job for the "Compliance" portion of NCM, not the Config Change Template portion. By using the "Config Block" portion of Compliance manager, you should be able to do what you want, then you can write a remediation rule to…
  • That variable is probably only valid in the context of a resource embedded in a "NodeDetails" view. What context are you using it in? If you're prototyping it in SWQL manager, you would need to substitute the variable with the value of a valid NodeID for it to work.
  • Hazarding a guess here, the "EventTime" is actually stored down to the millisecond I believe. I'm guessing that your comparison time, since it doesn't specify milliseconds, is rounded off to 0 milliseconds (ie: '07/05/2015 15:28:49.000'), but the actual data has values greater than ".000" in the milliseconds, so the…
  • I would recommend just monitoring your uplinks rather than all ports, the up/downs will drive you nuts. You can catch some things such as duplex mismatches via syslog. Unless its a layer-3 switch, monitoring the VLAN interfaces won't give you much, unless this is a layer-3 switch. Lo0 is a Loopback interface (normally on…
  • How do you have your devices configured? I would recommend using SSHv2 on both sides. I also recommend using "aaa new method" on the device along with either a tacacs/radius server, or locally configured usernames/passwords... Tends to be very stable for me. Telnet/SSHv1 gave me problems...
  • Have you tried it with other browsers? With what you described I'd definitely give that a go...
  • I've found a couple things help in getting your WLC's managed in NCM. The first is to set up a separate connection profile that has the "Enable Level" set to "No Enable Login". I personally also use SSH here as "Telnet" on IOS devices seems less reliable to me, not to mention insecure! The second is in the "Edit…
  • The easy answer to this is not to use a config change template! :-) Instead look at Compliance Rules. Where config change templates can be useful for some things, they definitely have trouble adapting to an unknown # of interfaces and such. With a config template you can write a rule using a "Config Block", which can match…
  • Lots of questions on this. Let's start with, what alert are you using? Is it an out-of-the-box alert, or custom/edited? I think there are two oob ones that could trigger on this, maybe more. Did your server go up and down? Was the node that the interface was on unmanaged for a period of time and just came off? Was this…
  • Can you give us details of exactly how you have this configured? How are you having NCM log into the devices? SSH or Telnet? How are you having it do the config request? Telnet/SSH or SNMP? How are you having it transport the configs? SSH, TFTP or SCP? I've found for me, SSH2 works best for all of the above, and if a…
  • Hmm... Interesting. And you have done a "rediscover" of the device? I'd probably also inventory it in NCM, but that shouldn't affect NPM. Have you polled the new device via SNMP to see what its saying regarding how much memory the device has? Maybe its a problem with the values the new device is returning and nothing to do…
  • What version are you running? If I replace a piece of equipment and do a rediscover they work just fine for me. No flaky performance of gauges or anything. If the device has similar interfaces on it, ie: the one you're taking out uses Gi0/0 for the LAN and Ser0/0/0:0 for the WAN for instance and the one you're replacing it…
  • You are correct sir that UDT should be doing this for you. If you look at a "Node Details" page, and go to "Port Details" for that node, it will show you a list of ports that are managed by UDT for that node. Click on one of the ports, like Gi0/11, and it should bring up a "Device Tracker Port Details" page, with one…
  • This is an AJAX resource I believe which has very limited ability to customize. I think the only way of doing that would be to put the IP address in the name of your node so it is part of it.
  • Try setting the flow-source in your "flow exporter" record. This interfaces IP address should be the same as what you have in NPM for managing the device. There is a Nexus 7000 section in this document also... http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/NetFlow/docs/NetFlowDeviceConfiguration.pdf
  • What kind of device is this? What does your "Flow Record" look like? Can you post your entire Netflow configuration?
  • Version 5 is somewhat limited in the fields it can export and the order it has to do them in, although it can definitely do those essential to basic netflow. Netflow v9 allows for templates and is closer to the "industry standard" called IPFIX. These templates allow for many more attributes such as vlan, MPLS tag, and many…
  • The configs that NCM uses internally are stored in the database. You can have it store a copy of the configs where-ever you want by going into "Settings" then "NCM Settings" and "Config Archive Folder Locations". You can tell it to store where-ever you want, note the yellow box at the top of this page when you're there. If…
  • Hazarding a guess here. I believe the VLAN info for a switch is discovered only during an update of the Inventory. This is done in "Config" and then "Jobs". You can either create a new job, or edit an existing one that is an "Update Inventory" job. The important part of all this is in the "Job Specific Details" when you're…
  • Fairly simple, here is a quickie showing how its done, you can modify it to fit your needs... This is using SWQL which means you'll need the Orion SDK to work with it, although the SWQL itself can be used in a "Custom Query" resource on any page, or within a report. SELECT N.IPAddress, N.Caption as Device, N.SNMPVersion as…
  • Oo! oo! Me! Me!! Oh wait, you want "noobs" not "norbs"? Aw, forget it...
