It may be that some of those variables don't apply to a node... try some of the node variables and see if they work just to check. Try a couple of these and see if they work: ${Location} ${Contact} ${SerialNumber} ${City} ${DNS} These are the ones I use for nodes... and these for interfaces: Last Change: ${LastChange}…

This is the exact upgrade I'm most afraid of... the move to 12.x

Good point jedski.

My main point was not to really use SIM for anything but collecting HP specific data from the arrays and then forwarding traps or syslog from SIM on to NPM. EDIT: And its free :}

I actually wasn't 48th before I don't know why I said that I was right outside the top 20 I think.

Hehe... I'm still #1 on NPM leader board though... even got aLTeReGo beat! And that's hard to do ;^}

Yes this is a DISA network that is STIG'd. It looks like emtox​ and sdawson35 are also having the exact same problem from the this thread as well Kiwi Syslog 9.5 is now Available! We could ask them if they are also hardening their Windows 2012 R2. I appreciate the response jeff.stewart​ The good thing for SolarWinds is…

Has there been any firewall changes that may have blocked snmp between them? If it's a server try restarting the snmp service on server you are trying to reach if you're sure the community string is correct.

You need to do the right click on the link to open properties on it... then you can find the interface on your router on the left side of Network Atlas window and drag it over and drop onto the inteface properties window you have open. This makes the link change to red when your internet router interface is down. You can…

Glad to hear you got it figured out. I marked aLTeReGo​ answer as correct even thought that wasn't what fixed mine since it helped you!

Try using ${Node.DNS} or ${DNS} which should perform a reverse lookup on the IP and show full name if it's resolvable. If you have a hosts file on your NPM machine it should look there first then the configured DNS servers. I would test your name resolution from the server at the command line. nslookup will test the…

I guess i always new moving alerts to the web wasn't going to be easy or trivial... that's a big change. You're probably right about priorities though.

I'm also thinking about leaning this way which is kinda a shame but maybe that's really where we are headed... EOC just isn't what is was cracked up to be any longer and now NPM has come so far that it's now THE MOM aka manager of managers. o.O

Sweet we like consistent GUI elements that make things intuitive! The X has become pretty standard these days. No reason to reinvent the wheel... Go with the flow! Dang Tim is up to level 10 on thwack now too!!!

Keep us posted guys... my upgrade decisions are seriously based on your experience with this o.O! I really appreciate all of your comments and updates. I really appreciate the info about NPM v10.7 with NTA v4.0.3 squinsey!!! I may try 11.0 NPM with NTA 4.1 and leave SAM at 6.1. For now that sounds like possibly the safest…

I use dynamic queries for a lot now... it works great! Having to maintain group membership can get hectic and often misses things.

Firefox works great and really you're always pretty safe going with the latest version of FF... and since it's cake to update it... why not.

Hello Al- In modern switched LAN's when you plug your pc into a regular switch port you will only see your conversations to / from your pc and broadcast traffic (to everyone). Do you know what kind of switches are being used for your LAN there. If they are cisco the best thing to do is find a place to plug the wireshark…

I got rid of my 2960's and have many 3850's but the real magic seems to come with 9300's. We've swapped all our IDF closet switches for 9300 stacks now. I'm working on another smaller air gapped network and my goal is to go all 9000's now. I also had FoE for years and it was total waste of money. I suppose I'll follow this…

thanks superfly99 and fatset5 I really appreciate all info that helps me decide what to do. I'm looking forward to maybe a 11.6 or something later but right now 11.5 it too much risk for me and 11.01 sounds like I can run almost the newest versions of all of my modules except for the very last SAM one which is fine for me.…

Sure from the web viewer your home view click the Customize Page icon in upper right corner area... here you can see your resources and the columns they are in... click the plus sign in the column where you want to add it and select the Top 10 Interfaces by Percent Utilization resouce and it will add it to that column. You…

Maybe we can get michalB to comment on this... he seems to be one of experts on Network Atlas???

I always put this resource (Polling Engine Status) on my homepage. It works very well to at a glance to see if the poller is healthy.

Glad to hear you got it all sorted out witip. Sounds like you did everything correctly.

tdanner's method makes the most sense and is exactly what we do. Now that NPM is AD aware using AD groups to control who has what access to Orion and to what seems to me the only way to go.

This is a great example. I'm still kinda new to this... wondering where in SQL it counts times over the five minute period? Or is this implied due to polling period? Regards, B.

I don't think you want to change the account the service runs under... I think what Casey was saying to check is: Goto the location of the psexec.exe and verify that system has right to read & execute it. Also check the event logs when you try and have the Alerting engine run the action... not sure but it might give you a…

Bulk list in discovery will discover by ICMP if it can't do snmp this way: Bulk list works in a way hostnames are resolved into IP list and IP list is then used as set of IP ranges in discovery configuration. So, hostnames are gone. When discovery does not discover hostname (i.e. ICMP node) the result of discovery is just…

Higher period of time from NPM to the devices or interface it is pinging. High response time can be due to all kinds of things... routing changes... topology changes... distance... hops the packet takes between... any link along the path could slow down pings time to return.

UR right benbree it's a little confusing sometimes with so many places where events reside.
