Tried Hubble? https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Turn_on_and_use_Hubble_

I have also handled this by matching the common part of the OIDs....as many digits as are common. Before I knew about sticking pollers in groups.
-
If you had details on the device that decides which server to use, you could poll the MIB involved in that decision. Additonally, you could have that device send traps or syslogs with the change in status. This could supplement the agent-based monitoring proposed by others.

Re: Combine two UDPs on a line in a report Group creation can help: How to Set Up Multi-Column Table With Custom Device Poller

Are these stats from a universal device poller? If so, put the pollers in a group. Helps immensely and makes it less of a SQL exercise.
-
From the lists of variables I've seen, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a month of year variable. Also day/ date/ year/ short date/ long date. Having made NCM create folders with the date in the name, I expect NPM can also leverage this capability. And that was going back a few years. I think they still exist. Can you…

Create this and send the page as an alert action: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Netflow_Traffic_Analyzer_(NTA)/NTA_Documentation/NTA_Administrator_Guide/090_Alerts/030_Configure_Flow_alerts

If * you have NTA module licensed * you have one of these switches: Devices that support NetFlow - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support * you email a NetFlow report as your alert action then yes. Alternatively, if you have NCM licensed just run a command on the switch and include the output in your alert action…

I've always found it helpful to write a report that shows current values of whatever I'm alerting on. Helps to validate why there was/ was not an alert as well as in general troubleshooting. You may not be interested in displaying the report to the end user, but it gives visibility into values the alert conditions are…

Looks like I got points for two referrals. I submitted three.

Done. Two coworkers pretty new to SolarWinds just emailed you katieb.

Are you aware of this setting? "To hide the resources when the poller is not assigned to the viewed device, confirm that Do Not Show If Not Assigned is selected" Universal Device Poller - Display Poller Results
-
Sounds like a use case for configuring dependencies Also: Set up SNMP traps for additional visibility. Trap on change of status for critical uplink interfaces. You could also supplement with syslog to understand what is.or isn't happening with critical interfaces. Have you considered agent-based monitoring or a remote…

Does anyone find it strange that we have to resort to customization to get this information--vs being native to the product? I realize you can use SNMP functionality to determine nodes status (vs. ICMP). So whatever logic makes that work could presumably be integrated somewhere else for SNMP-monitored nodes which are not…

https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-148968 Looks like this uses OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.117.1.2.1.1.2. There are reports in the zip file along with the UDP. Do they work for you?
-
Do you monitor flow information? If a Cisco network, NetFlow would be immensely helpful to know how much different types of traffic contribute to the aggregate (backups/ streaming video/ mission related traffic). Depending on what you see, you may decide to QoS bandwidth hogs, or ensure that backups happen at an agreed up…

Try snmpwalk.exe in your Orion installation folder. If it works there, that's what matters most. Some devices I have monitored would consistently fail to respond in an add node/ edit node context but work fine in every other aspect. Obviously it's possible there are actual issues, but validating with snmpwalk.exe is pretty…

Perfect time to create some custom properties tied to dynamic groups. Also some dependencies. And then your new views. For inspiration: Show us a NOC view and (don't ) get 500 thwack points (we still want to see, points no longer awarded)
-
This module would be useful (assuming your environment can do NetFlow): NetFlow Traffic Analysis - Netflow Monitoring | SolarWinds

You can string together multiple conditions for multiple Row IDs. Check out the Custom Table Poller Current Status example: https://support.solarwinds.com/@api/deki/files/34560/alerttrigger.PNG?size=bestfit&width=585&height=262&revision=1 For your use case, OR would be appropriate for first drop down. Note the 'plus'…

I had this happen all the time for Cisco IronMail devices and it didn't affect Universal Device pollers or anything else. Did seem to affect the vendor information from being accurate, although that was cosmetic for my purposes (since we a had a rigid naming convention where the hostname/ DNS entry told you what the device…

Dependencies? https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Define_and_use_dependencies_in_Orion_NPM
-
Is there any limitation on your account or the page you are on? Can you determine the NodeID from the database, and then browse to any Node Details page....and then change the integer after NetObject=N: For example, below is a link to a Node Details page in an Orion demo installation.…
-
Are you trying to get a little overlap time? Licenses can be released and then applied elsewhere later, but I'm wondering if your expectation is no downtime/ a few minutes/ a few hours/ a few days. Certainly doable with customer service assistance (and without). If the requirement is for no lapse in monitoring or very…

In my experience, SolarWinds and its account managers have been flexible. I have been able to bridge the gap with assistance from SolarWinds--they extended my trial licenses a little...and then a little more. Not sure if all sales folks at SolarWinds yield that power or just those serving the government sector. It wouldn't…
-
Perhaps try a report to show poller results. Place pollers in a group. Create a report to show group results.
-
novasamurai, any chance you are working with information from several Universal Device Pollers? And displaying on a Node Details page?
-
Seen this? https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Orion_Platform/Orion_Documentation/Orion_Platform_Administrator_Guide/Deploy_agents_to_nodes/Deploy_an_agent_manually_to_a_Linux-based_computer With SecureCRT and enough tabs, I can see this being done pretty fast.

It can be helpful to make reports with the same logic as your alerts to help in refining/ validating.

If you can describe what you want (vs. what you don't want), you could submit a feature request here: Network Performance Monitor Feature Requests If you are interested in using agents: Deploy agents to nodes - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support This is the documented way to control what is happening. Note the…
