  • might try interfaces.Edge_Reporting_End <> 'False' just for grins. Or create a group with dynamic membership (same logic) and reference the group rather than the custom property. Can't seem anything inherently wrong with what you're doing, so just throwing out random suggestions in case one works.

  • If you do SNMPv2 does it work for you? I'm suggesting a test that you perform quickly and then reconfigure for v3. This could help validate SNMP connectivity end-to-end.

  • Of course. Run a packet capture on your SolarWinds server and you can see this in action. From a Windows command prompt, run a ping -t to the IP of something and block pings (using host or network firewall). Your unanswered pings will result in a device that is down from a monitoring perspective. Easily demonstrated if you…

  • What are the downsides to skipping an upgrade? If I pass on 10.7 and then install 10.7.1 or 10.8, is it likely that I will be required to download and install the version I skipped before installing the one I want? We use NCM, VNQM, SAM, and IPAM in case that should be a consideration. I don't think I've ever skipped an…

  • There is some native F5 monitoring in NPM: Monitor services delivered by F5 BIG-IP load balancers Do you have the server and application monitoring module (SAM)? You can monitor IIS via that module (for example HTTP GET looking for a 200 response and for presence of certain words on the text).

  • Sounds like things are working as well as they are going to, and it seems SNMP communication is succesful given the 1070+ OIDs that respond. I've seen this behavior before. Perhaps something to do with SysObjectID? It can give the false impression that SNMP is not working. Is the Vendor / Machine Type detected? In my case,…
    in SNMPv2 Request Not Working Comment by d09h September 2016
  • If your alerts had thresholds that were a custom property rather than an absolute value, changes to that property would be captured automatically. Acknowledgement of alerts is captured automatically. But for anything else, nothing comes to mind.
