You could create a custom property and set it to something for this one node and leave all other nodes blank (or assign different value). Your alert condition or suppression could reference the property. Alternatively, don't use a custom property--just hard code the node itself in the alert's condition or suppression. Can…

matt_in_slo, I have seen some cases (although with other vendors and not Cisco) where using Edit Properties --> Test would fail but performing a List Resources would work (believe it was due to lack of response containing a system OID). And custom MIB polling worked (via Universal Device Poller). Does List Resources also…

When I've changed settings directly in the database (via RDP session), I've seen the audit trail empty as you've described. Makes sense if you think about it.

Groups can be automatically populated (via dynamic query). Have you considered using groups for whatever end goal had you looking at a custom property solution?

Might try to validate with Powershell: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/b9d86bdc-9ea8-4659-ae65-4c1b5b86d324/powershell-scripts-to-get-overall-cpu-usage-from-list-of-servers?forum=winserverpowershell

I had similar questions and issues with respect to interface aliases and portsec pollers on Cisco 3560 switches. I found this to be immensely helpful (slapped myself on the head when I realized no SQL queries were required for what I was doing). Put your pollers in a group together as described here and their relationship…

Universal Device Poller transforms can manipulate polled data. Screenshot below (and linked) shows some of the manipulations that can be done: Transform poller results - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

yes

I realize this does not answer the question you've asked, but... If you don't want a Windows dialog box keeping you from getting to the web server's authentication page, you can add the IP of your SolarWinds server to Intranet Sites in Internet Explorer. Does that work for you?

Do you have NetFlow Traffic Analyzer licensed?

Trying to understand why to investigate this from NPM. Seems to be a generic Windows Active Directory issue unless not all users are authenticated through Active Directory. Do you have local SolarWinds user accounts (defined in the application)? Perhaps you can dump a SQL query on SolarWinds server to a CSV. And do the…

Does this work? Report: Devices in groups / Devices that are not in any group

I had this working about four years ago...not sure how well it would work now: Port Security Locked Ports Report/Alert

I've done this once in a small environment with very few types of switches: A MIB walk against a particular model of switch with a portsec violation can help you determine MIBs to poll. I don't believe this solution would scale across a large variety of switch models though as they would likely have different OIDs.

You could view the alerts in the database. Via queries like SELECT FROM _somewhere_ WHERE _something_ LIKE '%DL group%' If you just viewed all alerts in the database, you could look through the column for recipients. When you find the relevant alert, you could consider sending the alert to an email address tied to a custom…

Would alert suppression work for you? Use Alert suppression - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Do you have vendor documentation for the MIBs in question? Which device are you monitoring? Does an SNMPwalk successfully poll the information that you want NPM to poll? Any specific issues you are running into? Have you already done any of this? SNMP Overview and Configuration - Cisco Meraki

Can you share your report? Transforms appear as custom pollers do. Ref. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/npm/Content/Core-Transforming-Poller-Results-sw704.htm

Use groups. Set to 'show best status'. support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Knowledgebase_Articles/Group_Set_a_rollup_type kreases , did this work for you?

If SNMP polls go unanswered (one possibility), consider regaining some visibility with traps or syslogs. Consider monitoring the upstream interface of the downstream device and the downstream interface of the upstream device.

This solution seems to meet some of the requirements. Dynamically populated groups as shown in my earlier post are used for this solution: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-191677

You might consider creating groups that are dynamically defined by these same custom properties. Then a summary page limited to that group would show only those group members. Future efforts could be based on the group and not require remembering exactly how the defining logic looked.…

Perhaps this will help: SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: How to Use the Poller Checker Tool

If the node management page is the second web page where everything appears, perhaps there is a limitation on the first web page? Which limitations do you have on that page, on accounts, and on the resource in question on the page? Do you use domain authentication? If so, do both the affected and unaffected account see the…

How do the tunnel interfaces appear in an SNMPwalk?

Per this site, just click 'Force refresh'-- Cached version of resources during List Resources - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

You could probably filter a query against some of these tables. But your discovery would have to catch all desired devices and interfaces. You would not see what you had not configured a discovery job to find.
