  • (Volumes.Caption<>'Cached memory') AND (Volumes.Caption<>'whatever other stuff') Not in front of a SolarWinds installation now to say exactly...may even be 'shared memory'. If you get in your database and look at volume tables, it should be apparent.
    in Edit Resource: Top XX Volumes by Disk Space Used how to filter out cached memory from top 10 list? Comment by d09h July 2016
  • Sounds like a use case for the 'unpluggable' interfaces.
    in Which Interfaces? Comment by d09h November 2015
  • Russ, Audrey...earmuffs. I mean SolarWinds moderators...nothing to see here. I bet if a poll was done among SW admins, this probably gets done relatively often. It's never my first choice, however. alexggolovin, can you launch the custom property editor and view all nodes...and then locate the offending ones? Or are they…
    in Node custom properties re-configuration Comment by d09h August 2015
  • That's the correct OID. The report would need to show the universal device poller status of the interface OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.315.1.2.1.1.2 or the MIB CISCO-PORT_SECURITY-MIB:cpsIfPortSecurityStatus. When you have a report showing that, you can have an alert send the page that shows that report. You may also notice that in…
    in Port Security Locked Ports Report/Alert Comment by d09h January 2012
  • If you're monitoring more interfaces than you would like to see in a view, create a custom property (HideThisInterface, or ShowThisInterface, for example), assign to interfaces, and design a view that includes/ excludes based on that property.
    in Customization that I am not sure is possible Comment by d09h February 2012
  • Perhaps temporarily change the grouping (maybe even remove?). If that is unacceptable, make a copy of each page, and assuming the behavior follows the copies, see if ungrouping or even grouping by different criteria actually shows the missing devices, or if it always omits devices. Maybe write an SWQL query to achieve the…
    in Nodes not showing under NPM but are in fact there Comment by d09h July 2016
  • dhanson, thank you for your help. Hard-coding a Node ID may set me up for an uncomfortable conversation when/ if I ever remove and add back a device and forget what is hard coded throughout the application. Think it would be possible to match on the universal device poller that is providing this information? Ideal format:…
    in modify SWQL query to include node names Comment by d09h April 2015
  • Not sure if this applies here, but... I have had some devices that couldn't be added (credentials would seem to fail, yet gave results if I used them in an SNMPwalk). I had success in adding nodes as ICMP only and then editing the database relevant fields. Not sure but I think you can edit an ICMP node (via web) with…
    in SNMP v3 Lenovo Xclarity Comment by d09h August 2017
  • I had one upgrade involving a migration that took close to a week. I got support involved and I believe we identified a .dll that needed to be modified or removed...can't recall which. That action resulted in the progress indicator finally moving and only taking a few hours. Presumably the first few days resulted in…
    in Minimize down time due to database migration Comment by d09h October 2016
  • Would still prefer SolarWinds build that functionality natively. Never understood why that isn't already part of the product (via web, not some SWQL or SQL that we cobble together and hope is right).
    in Report to determine which nodes are failing snmp polling Comment by d09h October 2015
  • In some cases like this I've had success deleting the affected user's row out of the accounts table. As they were AD authenticated, it gets repopulated when they logged in again. Seemed to come up once in a while.
    in NPM 12 Upgrade broke Automatic Login Comment by d09h December 2016
  • Did you try the <> (not equal) functionality in the format I provided? (NodesData.Caption <> '*whatever*') AND (NodesData.Caption <> '*something*')
    in Edit Resource: Exclude specific nodes Comment by d09h October 2017
  • Thank you.
    in ANNOUNCING GENERAL AVAILABILITY OF NPM 10.7 Comment by d09h April 2014
  • I think you're right. OIDs I supplied seem not to apply to Nexus. Based on these web pages, perhaps trap-based monitoring is your way forward.

    in Is it possible to Monitor IP SLA without VNQM? Perhaps with a customized universal device poller? Comment by d09h September 2017
  • There are some possible solutions here: Unexpected Website Error: Insufficient winsock resources available.. This link has a helpful title that immediately provides the symptoms...as such, it was helpful to immediately find a possible solution via forum search Network Performance Monitor
    in hi every body Comment by d09h April 2017
  • You can define an application consisting of components: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Server_Application_Monitor_(SAM)/Server_Application_Monitoring_Getting_Started_Guide/090_Templates/010_Create_a_template_for_a_custom_application This would be more logical/ sustainable. Here's a an example of an alert on…
    in NPM Alert for more than 1 Component monitor Comment by d09h June 2018
  • As the poster did not mention alerts, I did not view the issue from an alert/ noisiness perspective. I saw it from the 'why is this thing on the view red' perspective. dfairles​, is your question about alerts that trigger more than you would like or about the web console showing several nodes down?
    in ICMP Polling and Node Status Comment by d09h April 2019
  • There were some devices I had to monitor that would fail the process to add them via Network Sonar Discovery or even adding one at a time with SNMPv3. I was able to add them as ICMP or external and then convert to SNMPv3 despite the credentials not working. NPM was able to monitor, but the impression during the process to…
    in SNMPv3 for HP Laserjet printer Comment by d09h June 2017
  • Can you successfully SNMPwalk the device with SNMPv3 credentials? SolarWinds has been installing an SNMPwalk utility during NPM install for years...you probably have the snmpwalk.exe tool on your pollers.

  • So did this work for you?
    in Command output result has to be e-mailed like an alert Comment by d09h January 2018
  • If your SW second NIC is in the same subnet, you could leave default gateway off of SW NIC and the critical device's NIC. Set a persistent route. Apologies if I'm stating the obvious.

  • No problem. Seen that a time or two.
    in Volume custom properties are not available in Advanced Alert Manager Comment by d09h May 2015
  • Nothing native that I'm aware of. Via UDP transform you could turn a UDP result from numerical into text (read about enumeration to map values). Regarding use of icons, possible via SWQL. Nothing easy that I'm aware of that avoids SWQL if you want icons. Chapter 15 covers transforms:…

  • Set up the following, and use URL like this: http://DOMAIN/Orion/Login.aspx?AccountID=DirectLink&Password=PASSWORD Share views with non-Orion Web Console users Any URL referring directly to a Orion Web Console page bypasses the login screen, logging the user into the DirectLink account.

    in Is there any way to access a nodes status externally from another web site? Comment by d09h September 2017
  • Similar multi-poller use case that overlaps--combine NCM reports as one somehow. Since NCM can make files on filesystem, my team used to move Down Nodes reports from our filesystem to a Linux server. Now it's multiple files on multiple servers. Unfortunately what I see as the easy solution (Linux server retrieves Down…
    in config diff emails in a multiple poller environment Comment by d09h October 2015
  • If you have a custom property assigned to the critical sites, the report can be filtered by that custom property. Example: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Create_a_report_using_Custom_Properties
    in Report Creation Comment by d09h July 2017
  • As before, if you can make it work in your browser's URL so that a new SecureCRT tab is opened, then you can expect similar behavior clicking SolarWinds SSH links. This seems to address the relevant setting: Open in tab by default (SecureCRT 7.1.1 x64) [Archive] - VanDyke Software Forums 
    in Getting secureCRT to work with SW Comment by d09h September 2015
  • ">osberg‌ ,sounds like progress. In previous jobs I had the luxury of using SecureCRT. Not the current one, so I can't really test or weigh in on this. (I have to use PuTTy and Tectia.)
    in Getting secureCRT to work with SW Comment by d09h September 2015
  • Perhaps the servers could be configured to send SNMP trap when CPU goes above a certain level? This could buy you a little visibility while troubleshooting. You could alert on the traps if helpful.
