  • If creating 300 groups via the web interface is not realistic for you, note that others have used the SDK for tasks like this: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/blob/master/Samples/PowerShell/Groups.ps1 https://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/61544 However, it sounds like you've found an acceptable solution with an…
    in Multiple Interface Alerting in NPM 11.5 Comment by d09h September 2017
  • When working with multiple universal device pollers, pulling all the data into a Node Details or into a summary type of page seemed daunting initially. Then I realized the benefit in reports that match against common portions of OID (for example 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.402.*) or by poller grouping similar to here (How to Set Up…

  • Before trying to create a poller, perhaps SNMPwalk 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.402 or SNMPwalk the whole tree and look at that section. See if anything can be learned from it. If so, there would be benefit in creating a poller.

  • You could do a packet capture from the poller as well as one from the polled device. For a period that shows the device down falsely, verify that ICMP traffic was received from the poller and that the response was sent back. Verify on the polled device and the poller. Wireshark is your friend.

  • Thank you bluefunelemental I guess I should be more clear. I wish to show polling engine status from whatever database information populates 'Engine Status' (not ICMP status of polling engines). Specifically the up/down/warning icon for the polling engine. Presumably the icon on <orion server name>/Orion/Admin/Engines.aspx…

  • Or for that matter, edit a node, view source HTML, and find credentials in plain text there. I suppose I assumed no access or comfort digging around in database.

  • If the property was set on three nodes and not on any others, and the alert(s) suppressed based on that property, it would affect those three nodes. If all nodes need to have alerts suppressed, then configure all alerts to honor the property, and set the custom property on all nodes. It can be global, if applied…
