I would use Log Adjuster possibly with Hubble. https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Orion_Platform/Knowledgebase_Articles/Adjust_logging_levels_with_the_Orion_Log_Adjuster https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Knowledgebase_Articles/Turn_on_and_use_Hubble

When did an interface/port last see traffic? How to create a report displaying the Last Time Data was Transmitted or Received on a Switch Port

">mezdem, I realize it's been four months, but did you get this resolved? What I suggested worked for footerest per his response today. My suggestion was to run the Alert Manager as an administrator once whenever this happens.

Model : ASR1002-X system OID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1525 Machine Type : Cisco I realize this is already on the list. Perhaps my MIBs.cfg is too old to detect 1002-X?

Seems like you would want to create a group (Settings --> Manage Groups). Then make a Summary page (not Node Details) with a limitation being Group. (I suppose you could avoid creation of a group if you wanted to use another flavor of limitation on the page such as selected interfaces...although creating a group may be…

Here's a list of node variables: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/en/flarehelp/netflow/content/core-node-variables-sw1127.htm Node variables The following are valid node variables. Node Variable Description ${N=SwisEntity;M=AgentPort} Node SNMP port number ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.Allow64BitCounters} Node allows 64-bit…

I have seen an issue that was similar. For that issue I was able to add nodes as ICMP or external and then return to the node and edit, entering the credentials and ignoring warnings about the SNMP test failing. Believe a system MIB was not responding even though many others did, and NPM seemed to require a response. I was…

Any chance you could trial or buy Engineer's Toolset? Then you could make use of the RW string.

The 'complex condition' (Tip #3) scenario described here is an option: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/community/solarwinds-community/product-blog/blog/2015/03/12/cutting-down-on-alerting-noise-guest-post-from-support

How about creating a group named PRI with dynamic condition such that it populates when Caption contains PRI. Set it for BEST STATUS. Trigger alert when the group is down. https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Knowledgebase_Articles/Alerting_on_Groups_vs_Custom_Properties Create…

Maybe a dynamic group could help here? Is there text in the name of these interfaces that is common to all? Not found in desired interfaces?

Which ticketing system do you use? You have a few options that might be useful: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Third_party_ticketing_system_integration

Can you share how the summary page looked (sanitized as appropriate)?

Where I've worked, we've had AD groups that were set up for this purpose. We could have had 100 users, or 1000 users, but we had perhaps a dozen groups with permissions/ view limitations unique to the group. Almost no user accounts were defined in the application. Upon PKI and AD authenticating, the group membership within…

With an alert, yes. Not the most ideal/ most direct way, but can get the job done.

Uplinks on switches. Physical interfaces on routers. Routing protocols/ neighbors on routers. CPU and memory on each. Which routing protocol are the routers running? Which vendor/ model?

Poller transform...something like x/10. I do exactly that with a temperature reading for NTI Environmental sensor. mjsweet130, did that work for you?

When I've needed to do this, I found benefit in putting the relevant pollers in the same group and then reporting against the group. Seemed to eliminate the SQL join magic that I wouldn't have been able to create.…

Show (out of the box) where polling is failing. Suppose SNMP credentials change on one or more devices. Not knowing they've changed, you don't update SolarWinds. When you later seek our interface info/ CPU info/ whatever, you find blank graphs. I know there are some homebrew SQL and SWQL queries and reports shared among…

I've seen backup jobs cause nodes to appear to be down or to have high response times. The nodes would not really be down and there was not a network problem, but nodes were too busy to respond to ICMP traffic. Packet captures from your poller, the polled nodes, and perhaps somewhere in between can be used to determine…
