I'll bump as well and add (in case it hasn't been added yet) that in my environment, where we are geographically dispersed, we have six instances of solarwinds. That's six different databases. Unfortunately solarwinds does not do a very good job when the DB is across the WAN from the poller, so we are in this position. A…

This is essential for me. We have some reports with significant aggregation that incur a performance hit on solarwinds. I desperately need to move reporting off of the SW infrastructure. I'm probably going to implement this myself. Would really like a native SW product though.

I might add that a data warehouse would be especially useful for those that have multiple solarwinds instances. That way, all instances could be aggregated into one warehouse and queried without load on the individual instances. I would also recommend an elastic search index for speed of indexing and query and rest…

The interfaces are not unknown and they were not replaced. Looking at the audit events, it looks like the interfaces were added via scheduled discovery. I've found documentation on deduplication of nodes, but not of interfaces.

No doubt. I feel like I have stockholm syndrome. We use most of the products and finding one alternative that performs all functions has been difficult (NPM, NCM, SAM, VNQM) I would be interested in the alternative product you are choosing? Is it replacing just NPM or other components.

Carriage Return, Line Feed. (new line) The trap template is xml format, but all on one line. If you have multiple lines it will fail to be read.

You can edit the trap template, you'll just need to bring it into a text editor or vi, put the CR/LFs in so it is more readable, make your changes, remove the CR/LF and save. Use the custom alert tool in settings to get the variables that you will need. I'm not familiar with Zenoss, (the original question was regarding…

@cr41g You've had success inserting new rows in this table to initiate discovery?

In the AlertMessage, we send Severity=CRITICAL&Type=SET for alarms and Severity=CRITICAL&Type=CLEAR for clear messages. Then in the rules files, you do an regular expression extraction to look for Severity=(.*)&.....etc. to set severity and type. I have used trap editor and have manually editted the trap file. If manual,…

I figured this one out. The example I found had a syntax error. https://lfkntxxa-opm:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.NPM.Interfaces.DiscoverInterfacesOnNode should be https://lfkntxxa-opm:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.NPM.Interfaces/DiscoverInterfacesOnNode Note the "/"…

Anyone know what table the discovery scopes are stored in? I'd like to try an update via sql, but can't seem to find the table.

Well, this won't really work. We can mute the alerts, but then we'd have to unmute them. What we are wanting is for some type of "automatic in service" feature that will enable alerts only after the interface comes up initially.

How about NetPath support in linux. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Feature-Requests/Netpath-on-Linux-Raspberry-Pi/idi-p/560840

This is an application monitoring template that performs synthetic http(s) transactions on a raspberry pi. We deployed several of these behind dsl routers to simulate a customer browsing the internet. The component monitor simply uses curl to connect to a url and outputs various metrics. We also installed mtr and smokeping…

Its pretty easy to create a custom rule for solarwinds traps. Here's an example. This is using the ForwardToSyslog.trap template found in c:\Program Files\Solarwinds\Orion. This template can be modified to send the various tokens below. case ".1.3.6.1.4.1.11307": ### Solarwinds Rules switch($specific-trap) { case "10": ###…

Oops, I pasted an incorrect url in my message, should have been: https://lfkntxxa-opm:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.NPM.Interfaces.DiscoverInterfacesOnNode

All of our unix/linux machines have a standard snmpd.conf file. If you are comfortable with the same, you could simply scp the snmpd.conf to each server and script an snmpd restart. Secondarily, it might be beneficial for you to download and install webmin so you can centrally manage these servers and issue bulk commands.…

Here's what I developed so far. I'm in no way a sql guru, so would welcome any feedback. This would be a sql based alert that basically would alert if bandwidth fell below x number of standard deviations from normal for that hour of day and day of week. Threshold still needs to be done. select Interfaces.InterfaceID,…

I might also add that Alerts can be northbounded via a number of methods. In Advanced Alert Manager, you can build trigger actions to send alerts vie page/email, etc. We use snmp trap forwarding, combined with custom trap templates that populate varbinds with alert and custom properties. How can I change Trap Template for…
