If you use the SNMPwalk.exe tool on the server and the node credentials, does it give you CPU and memory values? If not, NPM probably isn't getting those details back either. You could confirm with a packet capture, but the SNMPwalk from your NPM server is quicker/ easier test. Also, if you manage nodes --> list resources,…

Go in Database Manager...sort interface table by status...or do select statement to show only those in unknown status. Then delete. Would have to make table editable.

rsprim, I have similar needs and my environment is similar to yours. We also can't export to Excel via that option on SolarWinds pages. I usually advise my end users to append one of these to the URL involved as somewhat of a workaround: &dataformat=xls or &dataformat=CSV. This launches Excel if the user has it installed…

Do you have SAM module licensed/ installed?

In some cases it's useful to create a custom property and have the alert go to that. It makes updating recipients of alerts much quicker. If you don't have many alerts, this may not be useful to you, but in a large environment with hundreds of alert definitions, it sure helps. Create a new custom property named something…

Do you have the Server and Application Monitor module licensed? That will be the most straightforward way to achieve what you are trying to do.

Set SolarWinds NPM thresholds Alternatively, you could also set a custom property CPU_threshold (name it whatever) and make it for example 98. Configure alert CPU utilization > custom property CPU_threshold. You would have to set that property value anywhere it mattered. Perhaps you could make a group (hospital imaging…

You could use this. You could also create a custom property and modify the report so that it is limited by that property: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Create_a_95th_percentile_report_for_specific_nodes

Complaining users (or you) could write a scheduled task on their PC to launch a browser session with your SolarWinds URL, and the job could run at some interval less than your timeout session (59 minutes, for example). You can pass username and password in URL (awful security though). Perhaps a browser plugin could reload…

Does this apply? Looks like it would be helpful:. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/managed_services/8_5_1/CUCM/Managed_Services/snmp.html#wp1099946

You could SNMPwalk and see what catches your eye. But first turn on SNMP: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/VoIP_Network_Quality_Manager_(VNQM)/Turn_on_the_Cisco_Call_Manager_SNMP_service

If you create a report in ReportWriter to show status of component alerts, you will be able to also include node names in your report. This would probably be more useful to you than using the canned alerts page. The Network Object you mentioned is defined by the first step in creating an alert--choosing what to alert…

Have you ruled out packet loss?

Do the unaffected users have account restrictions, reducing the underlying database query to show pages? Run Hubble for insight: https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Turn-on-and-use-Hubble

You could custom poll CISCO-PORT-SECURITY-MIB and take syslog out of the equation.

Can you make a copy of the map, and on that copy delete hyperlinks? Give some users access to that copy of the map?

I could definitely use this functionality. It's pretty tough to keep track of which alerts are used where and which pages show what. I would feel better about deleting a page if I knew it wasn't being used. I currently have to resort to digging through IIS logs to see how often a service account requests a certain page.

I have config downloads going to my servers filesystem (in addition to database).

A query to show SNMP monitored devices where SNMP connectivity seems not to work. I have no idea why that is not natively available/ out of the box.

Similar question. I have a huge number of views and am moving off of one installation (NPM 10.3.1) to another one (10.4.1). Can anyone advise if this is possible?

Have any Host Intrusion Prevention obstacles? Or group policy obstacles?

Try exiting Report Writer. Then run it as administrator. Should now see your properties. Then exit out of Report Writer and run it as whatever user you would use normally. I believe this occasionally has to be done after upgrades or patches.
