Seems like all your issues are with the APE, fortunately for me, we just bought one and it won't be installed until next week once the dust settles from this upgrade. But I absolutely appreciate the heads up! Definitely something I will watch for next week. D

You can totally do this, and I have! I was just thinking about this from an discovery process. It would almost make sense to have a list of options/checkboxes in the "list resources" processes. "box" - Meraki (a check all box) "box" - VPN Router "box" - Firewall "box" - WLC That way we can enable monitoring depending on…

mr.e​ You could be waiting a very long time for SNMP to get corrected. This issue has been around since SNMP was invented, and no one has every fixed it. I actually turn the "reboot" alert off, and just monitor the up/down state of a device. This doesn't come standard out of the box tuned for your environment however. When…

I'm not 100% certain if it's a lack of Orion support at this time, or a lack of Cisco information; but I agree that amount of detail is limited. As for your original query, you treat the physical fabrics as monitored nodes, and don't bother monitoring the VIP. The VIP is only going to provide details on the active fabrics…

That workaround makes sense, I'll investigate that as an option. As for the NAT pairing, I don't know what the forward/reverse pairing will look like, but I imagine the NAT pairing will look similar. I can think of a couple ways for the workflow to actually function. 1. A NAT field on the IP entry page that you can simply…

I saw this blog the other day, I'm excited to see the updates. Unfortunately, we are in the process of upgrading our environment to the latest versions so it will be a month or 2 before I get an opportunity to play with the new maps. We had some issues with the legacy platform because it wasn't maintained properly, so we…

Well, if you can just make it a big green box, instead of grey...then you could just tell folks the sites are all fine. Or redirect to Is it the Network? I know, I'm not any help at all... D

Since you are looking to add NPM and maybe NCM, you might also consider one of the new consolidated licenses to help your money go a little further: Network Operations Manager - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support Network Automation Manager - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support Application-Centric Monitor -…

ABSOLUTELY! I'm a big fan of groups and nested groups. The less the page has to initially display, the faster the page load. D

So, this is a loopback? You can't really set it to a static speed, the OS dynamically adjusts the speed to accommodate the applications; which is why I (and most network folks) typically don't monitor them for stats. However, if its a SQL server loopback, I do monitor them but don't alert on them; and only look at them if…

First the easy answer, yes multiples are allowed. Format: WHERE (Interfaces.Caption LIKE 'MPLS') OR (Interfaces.Caption LIKE 'Internet') Second, check your syntax, it's "Interfaces." not "Interface.". Gotta love those simple typo's, especially when you are just starting out and learning something new. D

Certainly, there are a few different methods to achieve the goal, but the result is the same. For the Group to show a "red" status, one of the elements (in case "a Router and 3 switches") in the group has to be "red." Your interfaces are not directly part of the group, they are a sub-elements of one of the elements. To…

I just found this: Solved: Cisco SG300 SNMP with cacti - Cisco Community Maybe you need to remove the IP restriction from the SNMP configuration. I realize you have an SG350, but all those small business SG's run the same code. Little things like this are why I no longer suggest/use them, the "cost" is not worth the…

Shame we have to do this, but that doesn't take away from the amazing code KMSigma​ shared. I'm definitely going back through my alerts and looking for ways to enhance them using his content. Been a long time since this network engineer had to code HTML! D

Are you talking about the Netflow sources themselves, or the nodes in the conversations? The settings above are for the conversations, as long as you have DNS entries for the IPs, they should resolve (otherwise you have a DNS issue). If you are talking the netflow sources, these are just NPM nodes and the name is listed…

No questions in response to questions, that's not how the game is played. So, my thoughts...Network Atlas, World Map, and xStack are simply high level graphical representations of the environment "at a glance." So, it only makes sense (to me at least) to graphically represent the entire environment. The idea is to have a…

This would make a great NCM FR, as part of the inventory process. D

Upgrades are very dependent on the environment, in my experience. Some of my upgrades have gone very smooth, others are epic fails. I will say the latest installer is pretty slick and makes life easy on us (mine was this time), but I've seen posts to the contrary. D

Account limitations are global, so you can use anything available to create it. If you have NCM groups, you can use those, if you want to use NPM groups...if you have custom fields...you can apply just about anything. That's what is so powerful about this method. D

It's nothing "fancy" like SW is developing for VNQM (they keep promising), but it at least provides "some" visibility; which is always better than zero. The critical stat for us is when a site runs out of channels, so that's what we are watching for.

WOW! Where've I been! Didn't know that doc existed and I've struggled with this same type of reporting for years. bptivnan​.... mesverrum​ has corrected me and we both learned something new today. D

You are very limited on your options. You might be able to figure something out with account limitations or view limitations, but tab options are very limited. D

Like I said, definitely a good feature request, but I would use the workflow you described as your selling point. It all makes sense to me... D

That's funny stuff! I was only asking the question because if these are just upgrade issues, I might be able to build a new environment and migrate the data (maybe). But since these issues appear to be a bigger than that, I'm going to stay with my original plan, and wait on 11.5.1+. I can certainly appreciate the efforts…

Too funny, I was just looking for that thread.

This was caused by a bug that will be addressed in a later version. The VNQM module was trying to start before the other modules and core, so the required dependencies were not online yet. Workaround: * Open the Advanced Configuration Settings: http://<server name>/Orion/Admin/AdvancedConfiguration/Global.aspx​ * Change…

Maybe one of these, or a combination of them, will get you what you are looking for: Report for unused ports in specific buildings Re: port count D

Each VDC is a virtual switch and should be treated independently (my opinion). Think about it like this...why are you creating a VDC? A VDC is used to help eliminate the need for additional physical switches. And why do we use different switches? To create broadcast domains or routing borders, and segregate the data center…

Try this config, it's Netflow v9 and enables NBAR2: ip flow-cache timeout active 1 ! flow record NTArec description IPv4 monitor match ipv4 tos match ipv4 protocol match ipv4 source address match ipv4 destination address match transport source-port match transport destination-port match interface input collect routing…

I haven't seen anything that will do what you are looking for exactly. Port mapper will give you the ability to enable/disabled ports, but 1 at a time. This will also give you the ability to disable/enable (clear, shut/no shut) a port that has been err-disabled because of a port-security violation. Config Upload will give…
