Got my HTTPS proxy rules applied which sorted most items but not all. What still doesn't work: THWACK Some links reference www.thwack.com http://www.thwack.com - 301 redirects to thwack.solarwinds.com (about 40% of the homepage content is not hosted on a Solarwinds domain mostly amazonaws.com including a number of…

Is there a SWIS verb to disable HA globally? Currently when doing upgrades I collect a list of pools and then use the enable/disable verbs for each. I know it's only one setting in the GUI but I have a script I use for upgrades that collects a list of all enabled alerts and then disables them, disables all the pools and…

Why are so many ports required between servers when running a distributed system? My firewalls are turning into swiss cheese and managing the rules is an administrative headache.

I copied and pasted your query and got the same error. Replacing the +'s and removing City from the query made it work SELECT NodeID, NodeCaption, NodeGroup, AgentIP, Community, SysName, SysDescr, SysContact, SysLocation, SystemOID, Vendor, MachineType, LastBoot, OSImage, OSVersion, ConfigTypes, LoginStatus FROM NCM.Nodes

What are you looking to monitor? I've got a few appliances monitored via SNMP and get the usual CPU/Mem/Interfaces data, are you looking for something more specific to ISE functionality?

Nice Only thing i would say to this is be careful of alerts, If an alert has triggered against an object with the old name you will still see that pop up occassionally. I saw an article a while back https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Discussions/Alert-Issue-AlertCaption/m-p/192371#413782 which talks about it and the…

Have you got HA in use and is the secondary server ok?

If it's a linux based appliance, check the last time the SNMP process restarted. I see this when a CheckPoint firewall or F5 device restarts it's SNMPd process, it's a legacy thing from Cisco switches where if the SNMP process restarted then it must of rebooted.

i can't check my system right now but i wonder if because you have tried once and created the SWNetPerfMon.db file it doesn't then give you the option again. Might be worth finding the file and moving it out the way to see if you get it a second time round

On the first screen of the config wizard click the load details from Orion server button rather than clicking next next next... This populated all the details for me when i added some new APE's last week.

Thanks Kellie, Will drop you an email shortly.

Thanks Jason, I've seen this already but where is falls short is for example: "port 17777 is required between the main poller and the SQL database." The latest version doesn't use the fsdb application so why is this port still needed if it's just a std sql db server. I have multiple pollers separated by a number of…

Trying to find out what firewall ports need to be opened when upgrading from NTA 4.2.3 to 4.4 The success centre docs don't make it very clear and look like they relate to the older versions with the FSDB still, What i'm trying to figure out is if the NTA DB is now SQL do i need to make sure 1433 is open between the new DB…

I've been wanting something like this for ages, thank you for sharing Mark.

i went with the traditional join as i needed to leverage custom properties values and didn't fancy going with Orion.Responsetime.Node.customproperties but agree that is another way to do it.

Oops sorry forgot i have a join in there, replace the whole query with this: var swql="SELECT SUBSTRING(TOSTRING(DATETRUNC('Day',DATETIME)),0,8) AS [Day]\ ,ROUND(AVG(RT.Availability),3) AS [Average]\ ,TOSTRING(ROUND(AVG(RT.Availability),2)) AS [Label]\ ,CASE WHEN AVG(RT.Availability) <= 95 THEN 'Red' WHEN…

Update the WHERE statement on line 10, i did this for something similar but what you need it to say is: FROM Orion.ResponseTime WHERE (MONTHDIFF(DATETIME,(GETUTCDATE()))=1) AND Vendor = 'Cisco'\ Not sure about your issue as it worked fine for me.

Look at you dgsmith80 Will be giving this a try on my system tomorrow.

I didn't even spot mine was broken until i saw activity on this post, thank you for posting an update.

Excellent thank you. Gives people in a different timezones a fighting chance with alerts and reports until the product can handle it

Anyone know how to make this work for time zones that are 1.5x, if i change the zone to +5.5 for example it gives the time as 14.5:37:00??

One question on this, If you have an MPE and additional APE's which would you put the files on for it to execute?

I have seen this happen in my environment too. It's almost like the job of authenticating a user login to the console goes into a queue and the next engine that gets it makes the LDAP request, never worked out if this was true or desired behaviour but every so often it rears its head and becomes the cause of a bunch of…

Does the real-time polling run from the assigned polling engine or the main poller?

You can increase the threshold in advanced settings but I also would love an auto reset after x period. For now I have created an alert to look for a restricted state and if so send an email.

Have posted a seperate question but can we fix: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.6.16.7.0 = STRING: "Check Point 5600" Shows up as just 5600 in the Description and in the "Views By Device Type"

I feel your pain on this, we are in a similar situation and the goal is automate automate automate! Have hit the same road blocks as you although found some ways to work around them especially for things like the account limitations. Happy to share what we have it to help fill in each others gaps if you like?

Are you using Syslog and Traps? We had to offload these to a dedicated Kiwi server as the amount of data coming in was filling the DB log files quicker than the AG and backups could keep up.

Nice to hear you did it the proper way and it went well. I remember someone suggesting to just create a DNS alias for the old server pointing to the new server, that just cries out pain further down the line, upgrading your application servers will take a bit more work due to hostnames and IP's stored in the database but…

Wahoo! Will be trying to bad boy out later
