I just noticed something that is not correct, but is equally not entirely wrong. I added a new MX100 to the environment, and NPM discovered it as a wireless controller. Well, not ALL MX devices are being used as a wireless controller, some are just AutoVPN routers, others are just firewalls. It all depends on how the…

mcam​ is spot on. I really like the Meraki platform and direction (even as a biased CLI engineer), but they are very deliberately being obtuse with their remote access. I suspect this is mostly for security reasons, since this is a "cloud" solution. I'm actually looking at the new https://meraki.cisco.com/products/insight…

Does it happen when rending either map, or does it seem to occur when rending one specific map? My initial thought is you have something on one of the maps that is taking too long to display, and the map resource is timing out. D

WOW! Great question. I hope there is a way, I was going to setup some links to do the same thing for the same reasons. D

swheeler2948​, A different approach would be to grant the Helpdesk access to ISE, BUT assign them to the Helpdesk User group with Helpdesk Admin Menu Access only. then you can create an external link to ISE on the NPM menu.

I've never touched a Meraki before, so I'm just throwing an idea out there. If it's anything like Cisco ASAs, you need to allow SNMP requests from your Orion server(s). It is a firewall/security device, so you might need to tweak your access rules to allow inbound SNMP requests. D

I think I figured it out... If I replace the VoIP Site Summary resource with the All IP SLA Operations resource, and only select VoIP UDP Jitter, this will display only the VoIP stuff. Then I can add the same resource again and only select the WAN stuff, etc. SW staff, if you see this, I'd like to request the same…

I haven't made it yet, but they have one of the largest fish tanks (a.k.a., aquariums)! A former VP went scuba diving with the Whale Shark...said it was amazing. I've also been told the World of Coca Cola museum/factory is a must see. And the Buckhead area is pretty cool, shopping during the day, tons of bars/pubs for the…

adeese2‌, Not all Cisco devices or IOS versions support that option, even though the CLI will have the commands available. So, while VNQM supports it, your device or IOS may not (particularly some of the layer3 switches). D

mohammad.nafi@arabbank.ps Are referring to Application dependency mapping, or actual bandwidth utilization? If you are asking about actual bandwidth utilization between two servers, you'll need to purchase and use the Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) module. D

francky3084​, I feel your pain! For the last 2 weeks I've been upgrading (in phases) from NPM 11.5.2 and compat modules of NCM, SAM, IPAM, NTA and VNQM to the latest versions on new servers with up to date OS. What a scary, unnerving process. Today is the last day and I hope all goes as smoothly as yours did. D

1. Can you use a NetPath agent to obtain this data? Not sure that's an option in your environment, but it might be easier than figuring out the OID structure of CloudGenix and creating an UnDP for it (especially since most SD-WAN providers are all "smoke-n-mirrors" and don't want you snooping their data). 2. Discards are…

I apologize, I reviewed the admins guides, but not the release notes. Diligence on my part has failed! I'll try installing on the poller and let you know my results. Thanks for the input/feedback...as always, Solarwinds does a great job with support! Dwyane

I do have an additional poller and all nodes are polled by it. I didn't/don't see anything in the documentation about installing IP SLA on the additional pollers. Will I require another license? What is the process to get this NPM module integrated with the primary NPM server once I install it on the poller? Dwyane FYI:…

I just couldn't help myself, I am a sarcastic IT guy after all! Ooh you almost had it... - YouTube

I can't speak to other vendors, but Cisco is getting sneaky. They have started coding validation algorithms into firmware (SFP and gear), and the newer gear doesn't play well with third party SFPs. I've had switches and routers show the third party SFPs as either undetected, unsupported, or even throw the interface into…

Has this functionality been added yet? Like Aaron, we are re-addressing gear, and I don't want to lose the data or configs. And the NCM synchronization process creates duplicate nodes in NPM. D

">сергей I'm sorry, I don't have a solution for you, but this would make a great feature request for NCM. D

dwsmithjr​, There's a couple things to mention here. First, your cache timers, Netflow doesn't send data as it's happening. It typically sends conversations that have completed or have hit a configurable timeframe. For this reason, if someone is having congestion issues right now, you may not see the conversation causing…

Sohail, This may or may not be related, but I just opened a post on some strange-ness after an upgrade. http://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/54267 D

Satish and Larry (or anyone else), Any assistance with this request would be greatly appreciated. This is just the beginning, I have another report request/requirement for server and application availability just like Satish. So, help with that one is appreciated too. I'm in no way a SQL person..."Can you ping it, then my…

Did anyone find an answer to this? I'm seeing the same error. D

ppuchals​, The config files are pulled in from the device to the NCM DB via SCP. A copy of that config is also dropped in the archive folder, IF that option is configured. Access to the archive folder is then up to you, it's Windows and all the Windows options are available to you. I set mine up with AD Group access…

sdawson35‌, As a baseline, did you use the NPM Admin Guide (pg 835) to configure your UCS monitoring? D

NICE QUESTION! I had no idea. My SAs will love this option. D

Yes, you can...IF you are referring to alerts.

Glenn, Probably the simplest way to do this is to use the "Multiple Object Chart" resource. Then you can pick and choose the interfaces you want displayed. D

To add to marnell​, I would add "software clean" as the very first step of the entire process, BEFORE doing a copy. This will remove any old "not in use" code from the switches and clean up flash. If you just copy new code and then later upgrade again without running the clean process, you will sooner or later run out of…

Only using what you mentioned, you aren't going to get the desired results. If I understand, you have IPAM and UDT, and are looking to add NPM. If you place your entire monitoring solution at AWS or Azure, you could achieve the results you are looking for, BUT the resource costs might be a deal breaker (running on the…

Here's the CloudWatch doc to monitor the Transit Gateway: CloudWatch Metrics for Your Transit Gateways - Amazon Virtual Private Cloud I'm currently trying to figure out how to get this info into the Orion dashboard. Not sure if it's going to be a custom HTML iFrame, or if I can get the metrics via an API call.
