  • Yes, its indexing... If you go into your Settings, then NCM Settings and then Search Settings, you will see a page that deals with the search settings. About halfway down this page, you will see "Indexing Status" and the status of it reindexing your configs to be able to search them. This should typically take a bit of…

  •  Its not a problem with 9.1, pass-thru authentication is working fine for me... I'd open a ticket to get them to diagnose your error message though, I know I can't interpret it!!

  • A quick look at Netflow-lite looks like it should work with NTA, I believe its only on the 2960X switches, not all 2960's though. It looks like it uses a flexible netflow type of configuration, which should work with most Netflow software. That being said, it appears to take an interesting approach that might not be what…

  • Was just playing around a bit on my dev server and knew I could do something quicker as a query in the Database Manager and happened to noticed that the "Nodes" table is now gone? It seems to be replaced by a NodesOLD (which doesn't appear to be updating) and a NodesData table, which at a quick glance looks pretty much the…

SELECT MAX(DayDiff(DownloadTime, GETUTCDATE())) AS DaysSince, NCA.NodeProperties.Nodes.Caption FROM NCM.ConfigArchive NCA GROUP BY NodeID, NCA.NodeProperties.Nodes.Caption HAVING (MAX(DayDiff(DownloadTime, GETUTCDATE())) > 90) ORDER BY DaysSince DESC, NCA.NodeProperties.Nodes.Caption Just add it to a…
    in Config not backed up in x days Comment by cnorborg February 2016
  • It can. If I remember right it tracks quite a few things, although I didn't find the things it tracked all that useful! Its been awhile though. My advice would be to get a demo of NCM and have it inventory a few things to see if it does what you want. That way you can see if it fits for your environment.

  • Can you be more specific? If you're looking for a report that does them all individually, not sure quite how to do that. However, if you're looking for cumulative changes from one date to another, check out the "Configs" tab on the node details. There are several options for config changes, once of which you can basically…
    in All Config Changes on a specific device Comment by cnorborg June 2016
  •  Hmm... The "Dataformat=csv" and "Dataformat=xml" are really nice. It would be great if there was a header put on each report that was "Export to CSV" and "Export to XML"...

  • Never had a problem with it not mapping out blades on my 6500's. The one thing I can think of is that you aren't specifying the VLAN that you want to map out. If your other ports are on VLAN1 or trunking (ie: including VLAN 1) and you simply map it out using the community string (let say its "public"), all you get is VLAN…
    in Switch Port Mapper Missing Blades on 6509 Comment by cnorborg May 2005
  • Remember that traps (UDP/162) are different than polling (UDP/161). If you want to set up the EMC to be polled by SW, you will need to let it poll via UDP port 161. That is unless you change the UDP port in the Polling Method section. I wouldn't recommend changing the SNMP polling to UDP/162 because it might get confused…
    in Can't add SNMP device Comment by cnorborg February 2016
  • You need to give more details? What kind of equipment? Can you ping the equipment from the Orion server? Can you ping the Orion server from the equipment? How is your SNMP set up on the device? Any access-lists? Any NAT going on inbetween the Orion server and these devices, if so, what type of NAT? What version of SNMP?…

  • To find out, or adjust, how long traps will be held in the database, you need to go to your "Settings" then to the "Thresholds and Polling" and "Polling Settings". In there you will find "Trap Messages Retention" which is in days. That being said, retaining them for too long will definitely slow things down a bit for you,…
    in I work for New York City Transit. Today our trap collection period is 1 month and I want to collect traps for 1 year. Is there a system limitation in SolarWinds as far as how many traps can be stored and reported on? Can I collect one years worth of Comment by cnorborg February 2016
  • You can if you want, there may be some duplication of polling by the two NMS's. I used to use Cisco Prime, but most of the functionality I ran into that was duplicated in the environments I was running was done better in SW. Especially configuration management.

    in Tell Us Your Unknown Devices v2.0 Comment by cnorborg October 2019
  • Bit of an odd one here. When I put this one in via Add Nodes, I get "Test Failed" which I don't think I've ever gotten before with a valid SNMP community, this happens with two different boxes too. However, if I go into SNMPWalk, it brings it up ok. This is for a WOWZA server. We used this to configure them. It came up ok…
    in Tell Us Your Unknown Devices v2.0 Comment by cnorborg August 2018
  •  Well, our domain name for network devices is ".network.us.bosch.com". A switch sysname name might be something like this "ch1sw-101a-1-abs5l6-3". So, in the node trees and elsewhere it displays as "ch1sw-1-101a-1-abd5l6-3.network.us.bosch.com", and quite often on the longer names I find it word-wrapping and such. Since…
    in Stripping domain name from node on website? Comment by cnorborg October 2008
  • Most circuits are full-duplex, ie: they can both transmit and receive at the same time. For example, a T1 which is approximately 1.5Mbps is actually 3Mbps total bandwidth. The same with Ethernet type interfaces, so the total bandwidth on a 1Gbps ethernet interface would be 2Gbps. Go back to the T1, or 1.5Mbps full-duplex.…

  • SSH can used cached credentials, where it will not prompt you for username/password during the login process. I don't believe I've ever seen NCM use that, but I wasn't really looking for it either. How do you have your credentials set in "Edit Node"? I find if you can use "SSH2" for "Execute Scripts Using", "Request…

  • You need to use the "_IconFor" method I think. In this case I think you want to do this: select distinct NodeID, Caption AS NodeName, StatusLED AS [_IconFor_NodeName], Criticality... Although you might need to put "Caption" instead of "NodeName", but I think this is right... Here is another article that explains it a…
    in Custom Table to show how long a node has been down for Comment by cnorborg October 2019
  • My guess is your getting broadcast storms. Not sure how to check for them on 3com switches, I'd recommend pulling out a sniffer like ethereal and try to get more details. I assume your keeping track of the bandwidth being utilized on your T1 also? Its very easy to overload one, esp. if its connected to the Internet. You…

  • Hopefully all the enable passwords are the same? wluther​ definitely had the basic premise correct. You'd probably be best off creating the 16 profiles in "NCM Settings" and "Connection Profiles", more if you have multiple enable passwords unfortunately. Then change all the nodes to "Auto Assign" as far as what credentials…

  • Instead of ${CR} maybe try a "y" (for yes). Note that it's best to do a "y" after a "wr" also, in case it prompts you to overwrite a config from a different IOS version. If that doesn't work, try it with a dummy command like "dir" after it. Still longing for the good old days where NCM didn't collapse multiple returns in…

  • 1) Speed is the key, but assuming none is lost in having these new hovers over the old, I do think they look better and are more useful. 2) More information on the hover means a less likely chance I'll need to go to the node. However, if its quicker to go to the node than use the hover, that would be bad... 3) I think…

Note the red-band error message on one screen capture. It would come back every time I refreshed and went away fairly quickly, almost too quickly to read! But the striped loading…

  • It's stored in the database. The definition of the poller is stored in the "CustomPollers" table, there should be 1 row for each custom poller definition. Taking the CustomPollerID from this table, you can then pull up all the nodes its been assigned to in the "CustomPollerAssignment" table, there will be 1 row for each…
