If you can run discoveries against subnets without alarming security folks, perhaps use all known credentials against each subnet to verify there aren't additional devices that could be monitored, but aren't. For any appliances or network infrastructure you have, perhaps check to see if anyone on the forum has shared some…

Do you have custom properties or groups that can be leveraged for this? Something unique to the desired nodes?

Maybe just export the Nodes table of the database a spreadsheet and have Libre Office/ Excel/ whatever do the grouping for you. https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Sort_Criteria​ You could query your Nodes tables with SELECT * from Nodes ORDER BY <your device type custom property>, < your state custom property> and then…

You could get someone to configure their routers to send you traps...are those T-1 connections on routers under your control or someone else's?

Ever used VNQM/ IPSLA? You could configure IPSLA-capable routers at each site to send traffic to an arbitrary IP on the internet and check out the results of that traffic. You can pull IPSLA results into SolarWinds (or for that matter have SolarWinds create IPSLA jobs on capable routers that generate the traffic).

Unless I'm mistaken, you can do your limitation based on group membership. The group membership can be dynamic and based on custom property.

You could create an alert for this one node. Trigger condition = node is up. If you expect to do this for other nodes, you could introduce custom properties/ groups for your efforts. Is there a routing protocol (HSRP/ VRRP/ something else) that is involved? Perhaps there is a MIB that can be monitored related to it. You…

jameslindsay Would this work for you? Set the interface status as Unpluggable If you do not want to be notified when an interface is down, you can specify that the interface is Unpluggable.

If you look in the database table with accounts in it, do you see a row with the username in question? I would delete that row. More details: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Delete_a_row_from_the_database_using_Database_Manager

Is there a corresponding entry (same times / dates) in Windows Event Viewer? If so, does it have more details?

I believe you will find poller transforms to be useful for this. Transform poller results Create an alert on the transform results. Divide used by licensed and then alert when the transform >= 0.90

You certainly can: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Upgrade_the_trial_license_to_a_production_license Even if it goes longer than 30 days, you have options: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Customer_Service/Request_for_a_temporary_License_Key

Alert when custom poller status is over warning threshold for warning alert. Alert when custom property is over critical threshold for critical alert.…

shardikr, you can RDP to SolarWinds server and create a Universal Device Poller. You specify the OID/ GET vs GET Next/ keep history/ don't keep history. From there you can also make it available to be added to selected views. You can do this whether or not you share the BlueCoat MIB with SolarWinds engineers. I suspect you…

What if you create a custom property named perhaps 'mixed_or_best'. Assign 'm' or 'mixed' to those that are. 'b' or 'best' for the ones in groups like that. Then your tree can be sorted by 'mixed_or_best' property. Also by status and another level as well, since you can have three levels. Have I missed something...or would…

The grouping suggested by blsanner will pay off with reporting. You can show results from the related pollers in one place without needing to invent the SQL magic to do so via poller group functionality.

Do you have any Network Sonar Discovery jobs? If so, edit them to see or change frequency.

NPM can also leverage syslogs and traps. Server and Application Monitor (SAM) module and Network Configuration Manager (NCM) module open up more monitoring possibilities. Using private MIBs and scripts on Linux servers, output from commands can be returned to SolarWinds NPM. Most of the effort there is on the Linux server…
