I completely agree with this request. The way you need to setup dependencies is far to complicated. I agree with Marc Coxall that NPM should be able to determine parent/child relationships based upon traceroutes and other information they already gather. They are able to create links in the Network Atlas based upon the…

We are currently using an excel spreadsheet. However we are expanding our infrastructure substantially, and foresee a need for IPAM in the near future. The biggest issue we encounter is keeping the spreadsheet up to date with all of the changes that are made.

In my current, and past jobs, I've never had many issues getting things approved as long as I bring the right data. As part of a company I need to keep in mind that my requests need to financially benefit the company in some way (reduced man hours, cheaper maintenance, reduced resource consumption, etc.). In the end if my…

That helps a ton, thanks! Is there any way to apply a colored background to a row, based upon the severity of the event?

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

What's weird is that the 3750X connects to a 3945 router, and that connection gets mapped with ConnectNow. I ran the PollerChecker tool on the 3750X, 3945, and the 2960S and they all show the same L3 only capabilities. However, when I look in Solarwinds at the 3750X I see the following: It looks like it is mapping the…

I agree that Netflow on routers is much more reliable. The issue I have is that I can't see who my top user on the inside is, since we NAT on the firewall. I'm going to do some testing with fprobe on a Linux box and setup a SPAN/mirror of the interface going from our core switch to the ASA, and then have it forward the…

Oh, sorry I pasted the wrong one. I'm going to gather both, but in separate queries. The SQL query I ran was : select interfaces.CarrierName from interfaces where interfaces.InterfaceID = 474

I'm pretty new to Solarwinds. How do I create a view that uses the SQL that you provided?

I've tested and here's the results I get: .\Administrator account works .\solarwinds account comes up with Access Denied

I've verified that my config is identical to how Solarwinds KB says to configure it. It seems like the command "flow-export template timeout-rate 1" should cause the flows to get sent every minute, but from what I've read the ASA doesn't send a record until a connection is torn down. This means that large file downloads…

We're running version 9.1 on our ASA. I did set "flow-export template timeout-rate 1" and "flow-export delay flow-create 60" on the ASA to try to fix the issue yesterday, but it didn't seem to make a difference. 

Matt, Here's what I'm seeing when I run the PollerChecker.exe tool. It looks like it should work, but I'm not familiar with this tool. Thanks, Casey

We are currently running into this issue. We have our DC's running Windows Server 2012, and Microsoft has removed SNMP capabilities in their newer OS releases. The only way we can monitor these servers is via WMI (at least that I've found). We also have policies in place where we can't have an "automated" account setup as…

I'm not sure how it's a permissions issue, because I'm putting the newly created user in the Administrators group. I will try out the WMIExplorer and see what I can find out. I wasn't sure if there were additional permissions in WMI somewhere that need to be changed.

Correct, it is a Cisco issue and not an NCM issue. I'm going through and setting up views, and I'm wondering if this is what other people have done with the user that NCM uses.

Thanks a lot guys, this works exactly how I want it to!

When I use ${SQL: select interfaces.CarrierName from interfaces where interfaces.interfaceid = ${InterfaceID}} I get a "MACRO SQL ERROR - Incorrect syntax near '{'." error. I have verified that if I run the following query: select interfaces.CircuitID from interfaces where interfaces.InterfaceID = 474 I do get the correct…

Ok, thanks. Is there a feature request for this capability?

That's kind of what I was afraid of. I don't want to spend thousands to monitor a single node/interface. The biggest thing I'm looking for is availability via ICMP. There are 2 datacenters that can be reach via this Level 3 router/network. I want to run a ping for availability/latency and alert if the latency spikes or the…

Is there a way that I could modify that page, or create a new view that only shows me the messages? Basically removing the "Filter Devices" and "Filter Messages" part of the screen, and only showing a list of descending events based upon severity?

It looks like according to the link below the ASA only sends a flow for a connection once that connection as been torn down. This results in spikes in our graphs. Is this what other people are seeing, or am I missing something? https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/30471/netflow-asa

1) More useful 2) I like that the information is displayed in a simple/compact way in the Small Hover. 3) Customizable actions 4) Alerted node/component/application/etc. 5) Not sure. The icon seems to be reflecting the same information as the entire header. Not sure if it's needed. 6) Nothing, I like simple hovers that get…
