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.

True... upgrade to 10.6 as it has really nice features esp. the integration with other modules if you have them including virtualization manager and SAM. It's nice for bmhanson that you were willing to invest your time to help him out.

Wow that's pretty cool actually.

I guess it depends on how NPM uses the MIB's. I thought that's why we post updates to the Tell us your "Unknown" devices! thread so the updated manufacturer MIB's are added to SolarWinds master MIB database and can be identified when added.

You can always back up your database before doing an upgrade... it's always a good idea. The netflow noSQL database can be backed up by NTA as well. Now I've never tried to reload the data back into NTA after blowing it away but I think there's a way (otherwise why would we be back it up as well?). The SQLServer database…

I was just curious! Some companies have weird acronyms that don't really make sense so I wasn't sure! You can definitely learn a lot on thwack... also really get fast solutions to problems. I think you've even helped me solve some of my problems on occasion!

What's the source of the udp 161 traffic? It should be the IP of the machine using the wrong comm string.

To get Larry's report to work load it into Report Writer and you'll need to change HName in the select statement... I changed it to this and now the report is working for me: Select Nodes.Caption, unmanagefrom, UnmanageUntil From Nodes Where Unmanaged=1 order by UnManageUntil ASC I think HName is a hospital name or…

No I think you can go into Manage Nodes from the webpage. Select the nodes you want from the list with the checkbox then go to pull down called more actions and select rediscover. You can do one node first as a test but from my experience doing this rediscover doesn't screw up any of your already configured interfaces…

The good news is it sound like name resolution is working. When you create alert for email from the Advanced Alert Manager have you tried in the trigger actions section putting variables in your alert action under send Email/Page. Here's a good thread with links to the variables you can you and pacetti had some good links…

Nice another AZ thwacker in the house!

Hi Jan- You hit the nail on the head on both counts. I've been able to pretty much get what I need for now and NTA3.6 has been an improvement. We all appreciate your dedication to documenting and doing the bug fixes. Also your attention and participation here on thwack is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the tip on getting…

So you didn't apply the hotfix or you did? Or did some upgrade or something get it like this and just clearing the alerthistory fixed it?

I've been using that link for years now! It's a good one!

Couldn't you just use the copy button in manage views and make a copy of node details and work on it instead of your actual node detail view so it doesn't effect your customers? You're right though Chris debugging the .net container shouldn't be something we should have to be concerned with.

Thanks Marie... and cute doggie :}

Maybe Brandon could answer that question. I would think SW's would do whatever they could to support licensed users of their products.

I just tested this myself and it works in event reports... in report writer: create new event report then and filter the results This worked according what lorenzo suggested.

The thing that ended up fixing it for me was update to NPM. The previous version I was on never let me view message center. Now I'm on: Orion Core 2012.2.1, SAM 5.5.0, NPM 10.4.1, NTA 3.10.0, IVIM 1.5.0

Sorry a couple I gave you were my custom properties... I wasn't thinking... serialnumber and city I created. But since ${DNS} works you know hover over vars are working in mapmaker. Any of the Node Variables should work under node tooltips and any Interface variables should work under the Interface part of tooltip config.…
