I think either VNQM (VoIP and Network Quality Monitor) and NTA (Network Traffic Analyzer) would be much better at doing this than NPM. We do some basic monitoring of it using NTA, you can watch your CBQoS pre and post policy maps graphically and look at the policy details and current usage, as well as getting a graph of…

Have you tried defining a view and assigning that to the group? ie: snmp-server view OrionView iso included snmp-server view OrionView mib-2 included snmp-server view OrionView internet included snmp-server view OrionView system included snmp-server view OrionView interfaces included snmp-server view OrionView chassis…

Quite a few networking devices will store in more of a Unix-like file type that looks like it has just one line. Have you tried opening it with a better text editor like VI or GVIM to see if it looks right in one of those?

 Related, but different request. In the "System Manager" on the server, it allows for grouping via SNMP "Location". But it does not on the web-server. I was able to modify the code on the server to add "Location" quite easily, but I'd love for this to be added into the release version. I've already had to repair the server…

Have you read the manual on this? Note the "must be executable using a batch file called from the command line". Maybe try that? Executing an External Program There are several circumstances where you may want to execute a program when a specific network event occurs. Use the Edit Execute Program Action window to specify…

quote:Originally posted by cayzac I am monitoring the ethernet interface of my routers. Is there a way to send both the ethernet IP address and the serial interface IP address in the alert that is emailed to me? Thanks! I can't think of a way, but you'd be better off making a loopback on the router and monitor it via that.…

I'd give you a "yes". If you monitor the server via SNMP you would probably consume less bandwidth, but WMI might pose a problem at times. SNMP was designed in an era when links were much slower than they are now. But if you think about it, a 256kbps link is ~115 Megabytes in an hour. That's quite a bit of data. If you…

Ok, I think I have definitively solved this!! I'll tag cvachovecj‌ to make sure he knows!! Which comes as a bit of a surprise to me because I was about to tell you that it can't be done in this iteration of NCM at least. I was going to explain how the problem is that you would have to write a regular expression that would…

I think the discussion linked below goes over this problem quite a bit for you. However, after everyone applauded me for finding a unique solution in it, I found a case where it won't work quite right. Hoping they'll modify NCM to fix it in all cases.. That being said, the solution should work for quite a few instances,…

For those interested in this issue, it was confirmed in a tech support case that this is indeed a problem. When you search your configs you get incomplete results if there are a high number of matches. There is now a voting topic on this, per solarwinds request, to get this issue fixed.…

First I'd recommend you set up your connection profiles under "Settings" - "NCM Settings" - "Global Settings" and finally "Connection Profiles". It will look a bit different than what you have there, but you set it up once and can use it on many devices, as well as set it up to be "auto discovered". Once you're there,…

 There is also a bug in Win2K servers that is fixed by a hotfix. Won't say you have more than 2Gb of memory, but will say that your using more than 2Gb. Details here: support.microsoft.com/.../en-us

Hmm.. With the newer versions of Solarwinds Netflow its not quite as simple as he said, they really want a separate server for the Netflow data for its new custom database format. They have quite a few good install guides for that though. Plus, the default port for Netflow isn't really 6343, although that is the default…

By default this is the behavior for NCM, to only save configs with changes. Maybe you should look at RTCD? (Real-time Change Detection)

I think you've got it already, but remember that SWQL is not SQL. To be more specific, go to the "Node Details" page, click on "Customize Page" in the upper right-hand corner. You'll see the list of resources on your page, add a "Custom Query" resource to once of the columns and move it up or down to where you want it to…

Not sure how I missed this! Here is a picture of my dog Xander hiking on the Pino Trail on Sandia Mountain. I got him here in New Mexico from the dog rescue I help out with - NMDOG (go donate!). When I met him at a dog park I was on my knees petting another dog and he tackled me and licked me like a lollipop. His foster…

I think you're thinking of two different things. SCP uses SSH, which uses key-pair authentication and is built right into the protocol. Fairly simple to work with. TLS uses PKI certificates for client and server authentication and it builds on SSL specs, which are commonly used in things like secure web browsing.. Not so…

Yes, you can. You can click the icon in the report that indicates that its not in compliance and it should bring up a "Violation Details" window that has "Execute Remediation Script on this Node" and "Execute Remediation Script on all Nodes in Violation". Clicking on one of those should bring up the "Execute <rule name>…

Interesting that it works on the 7K but not the 9K! Just configure up sFlow and that should work fine.

Seeing any unknown sources of Netflow traffic? Try setting the source-ip of the sflow collector to be the same IP you manage your Fortinet with in NPM. That being said, I opened a ticket once on traffic discrepancies on a Fortinet with Sflow. They wrote it off saying that basically netflow support was limited on anything…

I agree with @tech_guy, you shouldn't need to get used to it - it should be intuitive. I've been using Thwack since its inception and hate the current way that it works. And yes, I have expressed it before while on a conference call with some user-experience folks...

Probably the best solution would be to have a separate instance of SW in each location since there is quite a bit of latency between them. If you want to somewhat join them together, you can use the EOC (Enterprise Operations Console).

The latest version of Orion sets up "Auto-Dependancies". If you go into "Polling Settings" and turn on "Enable Auto Dependencies" they should start showing up on your dependencies resource and when you manage dependencies. Might make your life easier than setting them manually?

Guessing the easiest approach might be to have ISE do syslogs to NPM and have it alert based on specific syslog message types. I don't believe IPAM or UDT would be useful with this.

Did you click on the "Click for more details"? Curious what it says. How are you going about this migration? I don't think 12.1 will run on a 2019 windows system, nor does the newer software run on database versions supported by 12.1. Probably a good time to open a ticket to let them help you through the migration,…

 You could possibly use their "WAN Bandwidth Killer" in their Engineers Toolset edition..

Just figured out how to do this... no logging message-counter syslog

I think we'd need to see your alarm definition to try and diagnose the problem...
