I'm not using a bunch of VMware appliances but I can relate to the volumes and interfaces turning to unknown but I think this is because VMware changes this around a lot... at least I've always had this problem ie. not just now after an upgrade. I often see the vNIC's all changed around and half the interfaces turn that…

@Georgiy Is there link in thwack somewhere to how to email the netflow webpage graph urls in scheduled email for netflow reports? I thought some of the netflow graphs were built on the fly so wouldn't show up... for example the ones from the traffic builder graphs.

Thanks G... really cool :}

Then you wouldn't need a very big LM license at all it would seem and get around the license limit! I'm sure this isn't what was planned but it might work pretty well.

thnx for the tip jcooler but still doesn't work in report writer... everywhere else fine. I'm going to hang on to that tip on "set nocount on" also though 'cause it may help sometime later :}

Roger that Roger... all's workin' now

I thought I was onto something but it does not match what I see on the webpage top talkers... not even close: this ran with following filter: I share ur pain Mike

I bet they will go away especially if the SQL server isn't in a VM. I know some people seem to be able to make everything work in a VM but at the same time I can't tell you how many people have had problem with it. The solarwinds guys seem to make it sound like you can run everything but the SQL in a VM without issue. From…

That's it and a great overall guide too... there's a lot going on when update especially, like I said before, if you're still on 11.x.x NPM.

Sounds to me like Debbie got to the root of the problem... I'm checking my 3750 code now as well

@Stephen- I'm running on 2k3 but it's good to hear things looks better so far with NPM 9.5.1. Keep us posted on this as I would really like to get my NPM up to 9.5.1 also. I've been having great experience with the NTA 3.6RC3. Finding out that the issues that arose during some of the post NPM 9.5SP2 Service Packs with…

Yes please do Bharath we are all interested in hearing about upgrade/update experiences... good or bad :}

@gbutler Could you share your error handler function used to log info when you get a failure?

I only have a couple custom SQL and they aren't required as much now as they used to be... one was for duplex mismatches which NPM is supposed to be doing on it's own now I think anyhow. I've really tried to keep things simple and not go too far outside a somewhat "normal" configuration anymore like with did in early 9.x…

Hi Marie- The problem is with two of Roger Wong's links in his post above: Additional tips for customizing tooltips: Customizing Web Console Tooltips Valid variables for tooltips: Tooltips Variables List <--This one doesn't work Descriptions of the variables: Basic Alert Engine Variables Advanced Alert Engine Variables…

Yes keep us in the loop! I update vicariously through you byron!

You're right sotherls... it works fine from the web now or from Management Studio... just not in report writer. Looks like scott hit the nail on the head... report writer has some kind of bug in it with some SQL. Anyway thanks for all your help sotherls! I hope this helps out txnogas since it was really his request :} I…

This I'm not sure of... just now preparing to upgrade my production environment to 12.x I only have it running in a lab right now without any Cisco devices... it's all VM's in there. I will keep you posted though. I'm curious if others have noticed these rec drops on any of their ASA interfaces?

I like the updated guide. It seems that once you start talking dependencies some kind of event correlation starts potentially becoming involved. From what I've seen over the years from HP, SMARTS, and now cisco too with products like ANA some very complex logic can be involved. You can look at how cisco is doing it here:…

I guess the only thing you could do then is alert on the BGP peer state with one of the UDP's like

If the hostname or IP is going to change make sure you get the script from the support team that updates said new hostname/IP in the database (I'm not sure if the new installer can handle this). Otherwise your update should be fairly easy using the new all in one updater. It's really much worse if you are on 11.x.x NPM.

I think the single big offline installer for all the modules is a big step in the right direction... this didn't really even begin to flesh out until 12.2 NPM so it's a recent development. At least with the single installer all the required ordering of upgrade is on the installer and SW instead of us having to figure it…

You can't beat the Sysinternals tools... it's no wonder Microsoft made u know who (Mark Russinovich) a "fellow" at Microsoft. Truth be told Microsoft employees were using Mark's tools for years internally over their own before Systernals was assimilated. :}

Not that it helps but these threads are what have kept me from upgrading my NPM 9.5 SP2 to any later Service Packs for fear that this polling engine problem might start up. Luckily I have had no issues running NTA 3.6RC3 with my NPM 9.5 on SP2.

@WHAT Here's what SQL code reportwriter generated: SELECT Events.EventTime AS Event_Time, Events.Message AS Message, Events.EventType AS Event_Type, Events_EventTypes.Name AS Event_Type_Name FROM (Events INNER JOIN EventTypes Events_EventTypes ON (Events.EventType = Events_EventTypes.EventType)) WHERE ( EventTime BETWEEN…

No problem WHAT. The only other thing I can think of if you are also trying to pull this from the Events table is that I'm still on NPM SP2. I have held off on updating for a couple reasons. For one I'm a believer in if it's not broken... don't fix it and I haven't found a need to update to SP5 on NPM. On my NTA I've had…

Are they unreachable or can they still be reached somehow? Sometimes having snmp working but icmp blocked can cause something that looks like that.

Of all my Cisco devices... it's ASA's that often drop packets... often it will be large number of receive discards on the interface on the ASA. I've seen this across many Cisco ASA interfaces on multiple ASA firewalls in my environment. It seems the busier the ASA the worse this can be. I've always kinda wondered what this…

Thanks Tim... I didn't mean to put you on the spot or anything but I follow you on git and and knew you would have or could find the low down!
