It could be because it's only a peak for a short time above 90% and the report is showing those interfaces that peak above 90%... sometimes I run a report and include columns for avg. and max and show it summarized by the hour over the course of a day... but ur right if it really looks like it's not matching up you could…

Actually the way you are interpreting the list may not be correct... some variables only apply to certain things. Node variables for nodes, interface variables for interfaces, volume variables for volumes. You won't be able to use a variable in an area that doesn't fit it's context.

In the resource seems to make the most sense I think. The query is really just about the raw data I suppose. And oooooooh custom query defined popups! Wow that sounds like a neat feature wluther! And props to tdanner​ for the git repository. It's really helping me get a feel for what goes on underneath everything. I see…

So in your list of traps in Trap Viewer under current traps under IP address you see the IP but also under Hostname you still see the IP? The trap viewer is supposed to a reverse dns lookup then to write to the db. Maybe try unchecking remove domain name from reverse dns lookups under Trap Server settings under the Trap…

u2 FOC what's the group alert variable problem? I just asked byron the same thing above. I have alerts based on groups too. I will say I'm glad to see that rob has info on a real release with lot of the issues resolved! I'm more gun shy than some of you I guess???

Can't you just put a loopback address on the router and add the device to NPM to be monitored from the looback ip. You then want to export netflow data from the loopback address also. You need to have config with some lines like these: ip flow-export source Loopback0 ip flow-export version 9 ip flow-export destination <put…

I know it kinda a bummer but you're right!

Yeah not using AD would just be a nightmare to try and manage. Looking forward to AD aware discovery in SAM coming soon too! Thanks aLTeReGo​

My is the default that was loaded when NPM was installed. Is this what you mean?

Our vmware guy said it sounds like an open ssl library being used on vman 7 may be running a vulnerable version of the ssl library. The link I listed above is totally different but similar as it's another open ssl vulnerability. It sounds like Solarwinds needs to check the v7 open ssl library. This is a newer vulnerability…

Glad to hear things worked out I pay close attention to the 11 to 12 upgrades and any issues with the change. I'm also interested in SQL Server and windows server upgrades.

@Arun maybe refresh your browser or something because 10.6 has been in there for a while now and you should see it if you're under support.

Congrats on finding the offender!!! I'm not a SCOM expert but first if they say they changed the comm string already I would try restarting snmp, trap daemon, or even rebooting the server if its Windows. Also...…

I used to keep trying until I got it to stick but when that fails it's really easier to just run queries like this: SELECT TOP 1000 * FROM [dbo].[EventTypes] UPDATE eventtypes SET Record=0 where Name='Volume Remapped' UPDATE eventtypes SET Mute=0 where Name='Volume Remapped' This helped the flood all day long of every…

You can get pretty close with the variables that are available... don't think you can get the vendor icons though just text...

I often use NODE aggregate chart.

Here's a really good article on SAN vs. DAS esp. with SQL databases: http://www.sqlteam.com/article/which-is-faster-san-or-directly-attached-storage It goes in detail on how to test ur own setup w/SQL or how to use IOMeter to do it in a way that simulates SQL server transactions.

We use splunk... it's not a much roll your own as it used to be if you buy all the extra stuff with it. I do then forward the data to Orion from splunk so important stuff can be alerted on though.

Glad to hear you got it worked out :}

Do you remember the old system where you started with the little stick man and more you leveled up he got more filled in until you had this little stickman icon that had grown until it was glowing wide and also looked like it had a little light saber of something in it's hand. Quite a few of us still here had the full…

Also really try for SQL Server 2016. It's SQL Server 2016 that support the new functions that NTA really needs to perform better. I think it's called column store technology.

Thanks Marie I think everyone would like to see the IP's and subnet mask associated with each interface on their routers under node details. I wouldn't think this would be too complicated to add under node details and as you can see from the thread some people have done this themselves (njoylif) with custom properties.…

Works like a charm! I have custom properties for nodes and interfaces. I have been able to use my custom properties in the hover over tooltips on the maps. For Nodes I have ${SerialNumber} and ${City} for Interfaces I have ${Lab} and ${LabOwner}. It's also interesting Mark Wiggins expanded list of variables here:…

Now if they just had a NAM option with SAM I'd be in good shape! I don't understand why SAM would be left out of the NAM bundle since it seems to be pretty big help with automation?

This is why even though I don't like being last to upgrade it often keeps me clear of some "issues with upgrades."

Yeah I did upgrades from much older version but once I got up to 12.0 the newer installers had the hotfixes included in the latest version.

I feel the same way about the upgrading... it's getting better but really isn't there yet.

I'd be curious to know what you've done like this mesverrum​ sounds interesting... have you tried to make one from scratch before or figured out the syntax pretty well now? Bill

I have a feeling that having access to the trap variable pairs will add a new dimension to what you can do with Orion depending on the crafting we do with the traps sent to Orion in the first place.

I concur with jswan... best practice is to always use a loopback adapter as the source for mgmt. data from a network device.
