You could probably do this in Report Writer too quite easily, I choose to use SWQL in this instance... SELECT N.Caption, COUNT(I.InterfaceID) AS Num_Ints FROM Orion.Nodes N JOIN Orion.NPM.Interfaces I ON (I.NodeID = N.NodeID) GROUP BY N.Caption ORDER BY N.Caption You should be able to add this to any page by customizing…

Discovery has been having problems recently, they are totally revamping the discovery engine in the new Orion. Not quite how I'd like it, but might be more intuitive for most. They've added a few more steps, when I think they should be working on ways of reducing the # of steps involved. For now you might have to do your…

The problem is the WLC device template that is included uses the wrong command for "DownloadConfig" in the device template. If you go to NCM settings, under "Advanced" and "Device Templates", go make a copy of or edit your WLC template. Change the line that has <Command Name="DownloadConfig" Value="show run-config" /> to…

Having problems getting this to run, either times out or errs on me, might be a problem in my installation. A couple of notes though, you'd probably be smart to not leave it up to the SWQL interpreter as to how you want your logic interpreted. I always say put brackets to force it to check the logic the way you want it to,…

Yea, usually if they're in-progress for more than a several minutes, you have a problem. Stuck overnight would be a definite problem. I would first try cancelling them, you can do this with the "cancel all" or select individual ones in the Config Management / Transfer Status and cancel them. If that doesn't work,…

So, are AP ports trunked? If not, that could be a problem. I still think you might have an easier time if you had consistent interface descriptions, wouldn't have to leverage so many tables from different sources to try and come up with your report. If you were to do something like "UPLINK" in the description of your…

Well, I'll answer the question about what do I need to do to make this happen first. UDT, NCM and NPM are the most likely candidates for pulling your data. But you have to remember how each module gets its data. UDT and NPM both have to be managing both the node AND the individual ports that you want to count. They both…

I think the biggest problem will be being able to monitor the equipment. Quite often provider equipment (ie: comcast gateways) doesn't support SNMP, or if it does, it's locked down so that only the provider can get to it. The wireless routers you might be able to, have you checked to see if they support SNMP yet? Maybe…

I would have to say "no" with some caveats. There is a way to change color schemes, and you can choose between "small / medium / large" for font size, but you don't have that much control. I also don't think you can do this on a per-user basis. They also mentioned "ALT" tags for graphics, which I don't believe they have…

Hmm... That should work, although for some reason I have mine disabled... I have mine set to ^! Last configuration change.* Spacing is very important unless you use a wildcard for spaces too... Here is a screenshot of mine.

Been trying to get IsNull to work under both 1.8 and now 1.9, but I'm getting an error. I'm curious if its actually working or not. Most keywords in SWQL Studio (like SELECT, FROM) end up being highlighted in blue. When I type in IsNull, it stops being blue when I get to the "IsN" point. When I type in the "N" the whole…

I believe you're running into two problems here, first, when you click on "Edit" and expand "Show Filter Examples" you will note at the very bottom it says "Show list of Node Properties" and "Show List of Volume Properties", both of which have a "Status" available to them. So Orion is confused as to which you want to use.…

Change your script to: copy running-config startup-config startup-config Oh wait, is it really asking to confirm the Source Filename? I've only seen it confirm the Destination Filename. Like this: #copy running-config startup-config Destination filename [startup-config]? Either way, answer each question explicitly, don't…

Awesome, be sure to flag my answer as "correct"! Love my Thwack points!

I'm sure you can. This is a SWQL query I made up for a dashboard here where it compares the two day average to the 30 day average and if they're more than 20% higher (ie: * 1.2 near the end), it will include that router in the report. I filter on a Custom Property called "DeviceGroup" which must be equal to "Routers" for…

The question is very vague. Are you looking for when the wireless signal is weak on a wireless bridge? Or are you looking for when the wireless signal is weak on an access-point? If an access-point, are you looking for when wireless signals in general for the AP are weak, possibly signaling a problem with the AP? Or are…
-
Sorry, not quite sure if I understand your question or not, the syntax reminds me of Yoda-speak a bit! If this is the answer you are looking for not, rephrase the question! Yes, hmmm!!! I think you're asking where the configs are archived? If you go to "Settings" / "NCM Settings" and then to "Config Archive Folder…

Just a guess here, but when you monitor something like that via SNMP, you get the count since the router was last rebooted. If you look at a show interfaces, you get the count since the "clear counters" command was last issued. Typically you would track CRC's over time and graph them so you can see when they happen as well…

First off, the policy violations section is quite different than the report writer. Not going to get into specifics here, but it might be something you want to look into closer. Compliance reports are comprised of three things. At the bottom level you have a series of rules, which are the individual components in a report.…

Yes, and you're running into exactly what I said, the MAC address being visible on multiple ports in UDT. That's going to be a problem from what I can see. The problem is that you need to somehow limit the query to returning 1 value, the problem is - what value should it return? The answer is usually fairly simple, the…
-
Ok, was looking for more details on why you're having problems in the other message chain. In the other chain they were trying to alert on New MAC Address and were trying to do it using a custom query for the Alert condition and were unsuccessful. In the example I posted I used the built in alert for "New MAC Address" and…

Well, that depends. Monitoring both can cause Netflow to report double the data that is really going across the link if you don't do it right. I'll give the quick explanation as I've figured it out through working with it. If all the data you want to monitor is going to go through a single link, then you can do ingress and…
-
It depends on what you want more, they're really two seperate beasts. The toolkit is just that, a toolkit you might take to diagnose some network problems. While Netflow is to get a handle not only on the amount of traffic on your systems, but exactly what traffic it is. While the Netflow stuff is >very< useful, the…

Oh, always thought that was a standard report! Maybe its not. Should be quite simple to create, just create a report that looks for %CDP-4-DUPLEX_MISMATCH in the syslog and report on whatever fields you want from there. Not as fancy an the UnDP suggested in the link, but should be simpler!
-
I believe there is a report you can run daily that will let you know the syslog messages that complained about duplex mismatches. You can schedule that to be sent out via email daily. If not it should be pretty trivial to write one. Don't have access to an environment at this moment to look up how to do it in SWQL, or if…

Yes, it was a blast!! A bit surreal when you walk into a room and most of the personalities you see in Solarwinds videos are standing around chatting, like Patrick, Kong and Leon. I sat in the back, partially because I like being in the background and partially because I got there a bit late the first day and a bit later…

Guessing your using the wrong mounting bracket. Instead of using the "Parents bed" mounting bracket, you need to use the one labelled "Crib". If not that, you can try configuring it using a technique called "swaddling", or relegate yourself to using an old piece of equipment, called "couch" for your sleep activities.…

I don't know if there is an explicit column in a table that says that. However, you can figure it out quite easily. In the "Nodes" table (or view) in NPM, you have your NodeID. In the NCM_NodeProperties table you have a couple columns "NodeID" (which is specific to NCM) and "CoreNodeID" which would be the same as the…
-
I believe its pretty picky in its syntax. SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF is in the "facility", not the msg-body as you have here. I think you want something like this logging discriminator nolog facility drops SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF msg-body drops *flapping* Haven't tested it, but I think that might work. Should put you on the…

The UDT product is fairly basic. It downloads various information from different places and provides an easy way to cross reference it. From switches, it downloads the MAC-Address Tables - which gets it the MAC Addresses. From routers, it downloads the ARP table, which gives it the ability to cross reference a given MAC…
