I think your logic is wrong. I'm assuming "Node" "State" is your custom property you're referring to that tells you if its a server or not? If so, your saying that any one of the properties in the bottom part of your condition must not be satisfied, so even if "Node" "State" is "Server", any one of the other conditions can…

Gads, I know there is lots of stuff I'd like to see changed, but to remember them all now.. Lets see. First, Cisco 3750 switch support, specifically when the switches are stacked via Stackwise. Esp. in Switch Port Mapper. More centralized configuration. ie: If you put a community string into one app, it should be in…

I don't believe there are any hard coded limitation in SNMP communities per the RFC's, but it depends on the box and potentially your network management systems. I think Cisco boxes, at least some of them, have a length limitation of 30 characters. I would avoid @ (used sometimes to delineate VLANs in SNMP community…

This shouldn't be a problem. I assume you've tried SSH or telnet'ing to the devices using the IP you're managing them by from your SW server and you could get in? If it works, you should be fine. If not, it could be an ACL or routing problem for that IP...

Can you be more specific as to what details? Odds are you can easily get it through an SQL or SWQL query.

Sure, your NTA flow store database is probably on a different server. Log into that server and apply the update first, then go back to the main orion server and apply the update there.

Hmm... I'm not sure if this is a built-in rule in NCM or not? But in the "Comparison Criteria", you can set up lines that you want to ignore. I have this: Not sure if its a built-in rule, or one that I made up. I'd give it a try or a variant on it?

Just checking, do these nodes have an ACL protecting who can access them via SNMP? That would probably cause this...

While we're on the subject of Thwack points, I've noticed its not assigning points correctly for at least one thing. It says in the points list that having your content exchange item downloaded is 10 per download. I'm only getting 5 on mine. Its possible other things are assigning the wrong # of points too, this is the…

Ok, you have to do this in the right place in SW, there are different places you can update a config. This would be under "Configs" / "Configuration Management". You would select the device or devices you want to run a script against, then click on "Execute Script". In the script, try this: set system tacplus-server…

And if you like this idea, go vote for it here where I asked about it some time ago!!

Been working with SW tech support on this, and it turns out that he's expecting this page to go away in the near future, or be replaced by something similar.

It should after a rediscovery and a poll, so it might take a little bit of time. If you sit there an hit poll it might not reflect it in the node details page for a bit though, I think it gets cached... However, if you have edited the name ever, it won't pick up the change. If you edit the node, delete the name and then…

If I remember correctly, the sound generated by an Orion Alert is done on the server, so unless you have a speaker on your server or something similar, you won't hear them on a desktop. It is possible to bring back sounds via RDP, but leaving connections open to the server like that would probably be a bad thing...

To understand this a bit better, you really have to think of how the different parts of the program work. The polling engine is an application all on its own that runs constantly on your system, this is one of the bigger loads on most SW systems. The web interface that people log into, is a series of programs that execute,…

You may or may not find this of interest. Kind of leveraged the alerts you were producing to create a resource for our DMVPN. SELECT NIP.Node.Caption AS [Device], AA.AlertObjects.EntityCaption AS [IP Address], NIP.Node.DetailsUrl AS [_LinkFor_Device], AA.AlertObjects.RelatedNodeCaption AS [Lost EIGRP To],…

First, to get any data for the wireless network management pack, you need to make sure that for every AP, the radio interface is being monitored, simply telling it in the wireless add-on to monitor the AP is not enough, if you're not monitoring the "Dot11RadioX" interface(s) you don't see anyone logged into the AP's.…

Congrats!!

Vote on solving this issue! 

Have you tried re-running the Configuration Wizard and checking all the boxes, at least for NTA, to have it re-install everything? Usually a quick fix for problems like that... Also make sure no anti-virus software might be interfering with it, best thing to do is just disable it and see if it was. Also, in the start menu…

With just NPM, you can monitor any interface and see the data from aggregated traffic, ie: no detail, just the # of bytes and such. With NTA, if the traffic passes through something that will send flow data, which is pushed by the device not polled by solarwinds, you can get pretty accurate breakdown of the conversations,…

Maybe some more details? What kind of switch? What are you set up to poll in terms of interfaces and such on "list resources"? The topology data is a very minimal part of what Solarwinds polls for. I think by default that interval is quite long. What you would want to adjust would be the "Default Node Statistics Inverval"…

Good article, but might warrant a bit further discussion. Netflow and interface stats are both quite different in how they are obtained. Interface stats are polled via SNMP, they are a simple counter that increases. So, if you have your polling interval set to 5 minutes for instance, the only thing Orion knows is that X…

Exact same issue here. Purchased a polo the other day, clicked on confirm, said it would send me an email but nothing. Looks like the points have been deducted from the store too...

Wasn't there a database field that was the numeric representation of the IP address? I might be thinking of a different table or something. Don't have access to look right now... :-(

 Don't you know that when you're asked "Can you fairly execute your duties" you should answer something like "Yea, who's the sucker I get to fry!!". Should get you out of Jury Duty every time!! 8-)

I think the answer is that it depends on exactly what you want to do... Some basic limitations can be done by applying "Account Restrictions" from within the User Manager. From there you can add all sorts of limitations based on different criteria as to what he user can/cannot see. If you give them management rights…

So, it really depends on what you want to do. You might be able to do it from the "Manage Nodes" in the "Settings" administrative page. You can also manage interfaces there if you want. Just change the "Show" dropdown to "Interfaces", then "Group By" you'd probably want "Overall Hardware Status" and play with it from…

 Well, at least I know I'm definitely not alone in this. Confirmed that it's happening on the demonstration site Orion has set up for us... 8-) I did also notice one other thing, the lower the volume your interface is, the closer the percentages are to being correct. With very low volume interfaces its pretty much right…

I'd do it with NPM. Remember that there can be two components to a VLAN depending on what kind of equipment your on. There is a Layer-2 side, which I like to think of as the actual VLAN itself. You will typically find this on switches and they will show up as something like "Vlan1 - Vl1", or on a L3 switch it might show up…
