Ah, some of my Discovery Tables weren't cleaning out because there was a ton of stuff that didn't have an associated "ProfileID" in the Orion.DiscoveryProfiles table, without it there is no data associated to know when to clean things out! Cleaned them out and hopefully they'll stay that way! Played a bit more and came up…

Well, we tend to not monitor all interfaces on all switches, only uplinks. With the exception being in our Datacenter, which we run a discovery on every so often and see whats new. We also don't tend to need a review. Remember that you can run a discovery without doing the import at that point in time. You can then go to…

Hmm... So what you're saying is that, in addition to the CDP stuff maybe, you want a report on what interfaces on which devices are UP, but not in Orion? Not saying its not possible, but if I'm not wrong NPM only looks at what interfaces are monitored, so I don't think it could be used. Might be able to get the info from…

I had a similar problem with some unix boxes awhile back. Upgraded the SNMP daemon and the problem went away...

Hmm... Try running the config wizard again and let it rebuilt the website...

Definite big ones for me are being able to do something useful with the IPAM data: 1) Better integration with NPM. Let me know which devices aren't managed in NPM, and for those that are - be able to click on the device and bring up NPM. 2) Auditing. In addition to the above auditing/integration I would like to have it…

Hmm... Since you're asking how much traffic does NTA generate, I'm guessing you want to know how much data passes between the poller and the NTA flow storage database server? I believe I have ~1800 nodes in my NTA database and I'm seeing on average probably less than 2Mb/sec of traffic to the FSDB server, with bursts up to…

You might try using the Upgrade Advisor, it should tell you what you can/cannot do... Product Upgrade Advisor | SolarWinds Customer Portal

Thanks guys, while there were two correct answers, the best one was to use the web based reporting. Really is easier in there. Now I just need to get better at using it!

Hmm... Just a guess, but in the newer version of NCM they collapse multiple returns into one, which I wish they wouldn't do. That means if you previously left several blank lines before to automatically press enter to prompts like "Destination filename [startup-config]", they don't work quite right now. I would recommend…

Don't get me wrong, I've found several ways either via SQL queries, the API or via the Import function of Custom Properties to do this. That's not what I'm wishing for here, I'm wishing for a way to get a future version of Solarwinds to do it for us! ie: what kind of user interface should they have for doing this for us,…

Interesting idea, I'd never thought about it, but it does make sense if you think about it. Scenario, unsecured location and hacker gets into your wiring closet, uses password recovery methods to get in to your device and change the configuration so they can still get into it and compromise it once its back in the network…

Just as an FYI, I think this is still true. Using SNMPv3 with NTA means you won't be able to get any CBQOS info in NTA. AFAIK this issue has not been resolved. Works with SNMPv2 just fine.

Hmm... I have a similar setup. Dual DMVPN Hub routers with 2 DMVPN networks on each hub (Primary / Secondary). Each remote router has two internet links, a primary and a secondary. The Primary link from the remote router, connects to both DMVPN hub1 and hub2 on their primary tunnels, the same with secondary on the…

Here is what I think is a better solution... This is using a solution I figured out for other things like community strings or NTP servers where you use a negative lookahead buffer in your regular expression to find all non-confirming lines of a specific type. In the example below it is looking for any instance of "ip…

I think he's looking more to have the text there as a sub-heading than to restrict it to the one site, correct? I've never been able to Group things by using the "filter" section of a built in resource like down nodes. Would be nice though! I think you might be able to do what your looking for with the old Report…

Here is how I do my VTY matching. The problem with using "transport input ssh" as your config block end is if it actually contains just "transport input telnet" or "transport input telnet ssh" it will not even see it in your config. With this one you put in the "String matching" section what you want to look for. In the…

You've definitely got the right idea, I'd do the execution a bit different, but I like my stuff as exacting as I can get it at times. First I'd break it into two different rules myself. One for regular and one for extended ACL's, assuming that's what your going after with the 'deny any' and 'deny ip any any', right? I'd…

Are you running it as root? I believe most, if not all, Cisco devices support multiple collectors being configured on their own...

Agreed, not sure what you mean by "DATA" routers, all routers route data. Is this something internal to your company? If your using the latest NCM, there are a couple ways you could accomplish both. One is in the "Configuration Management" section of it, the other in the "Jobs" section. In the "Configuration Management"…

Hmm... I'm a bit confused as to what you're asking. But let's go through the basics. Its actually quite simple - UDT just maintains databases from several sources and correlates them to give you useful info. So, it gets MAC address tables from switches, ARP tables from routers, and reads the AD authentication logfiles to…

I could be wrong, but are you overthinking this a bit? This SWQL query does what I think you want, can be customized quite easily... SELECT I.Node.Caption AS Device, I.Node.IPAddress, I.Caption AS Interface, I.MAC FROM Orion.NPM.Interfaces I WHERE I.Caption LIKE '%trunk%' You can add it to a page in NPM by customizing the…

It can depend on how you have Netflow configured sometimes and the number of interfaces you have. The rule of thumb is to configure Netflow on the ingress of every interface, and that should work pretty well. The problem is this. Lets say you have a router with two WAN links g0/0 and g0/1 both at 500Mbps. Most traffic will…

Interesting approach. I've always generated the raw data through a query like this (which is SWQL but could easily be modified to SQL) and popped it into Excel and generated a Pivot table or Pivot chart to see what I wanted... SELECT MachineType, IOSVersion, SysName, IPAddress FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE (NOT(IOSVersion = '')…
-
Guessing this could be done quite simply. Either just erase all the "Caption" columns and let solarwinds fill it in itself, or maybe a query like this in the database manager? UPDATE Nodes SET Caption = SysName WHERE NOT (Caption = SysName) Guessing this should work on all versions of Orion even the latest even though the…

Yea, we get a similar error after upgrading, but only on our "extra" web-server... System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException() at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key) at…

This will also happen if you built the rules/policies and forgot to assign them to the report. Even though you select the devices to do it on in "Policies", you have to assign that policy to a report to see it. Go in to "Edit Report" and make sure you have policies where it says "Assigned Policies", like below...

Did some searching on my own. Looks like in the NCM settings there are 2 settings that allow you to see what's going on. "Scheduled Jobs" and "Inventory Monitor". Both of them produce logfiles in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Solarwinds\Orion\NCM\Logging" directory. The Inventory Monitor I think goes in the "General.log" and…
-
Hmm... Not 100% sure I know what your asking, but I'll take a stab at it. I think your referring to "Node Details", and maybe the "Summary" tab. By default >most< devices use the basic "Node Details", although based on the type of node you can change this to a different standard or custom view of your choice. You do this…
-
You can do it in SWQL, which means it could be put into a report, or a resource window, or even be used in the API... Let's say you have a job that you run in Arista's where it's simply "dir" and nothing else. This SWQL SELECT NT.NodeProperties.Nodes.IPAddress, NT.NodeProperties.Nodes.SysName,…
