Maybe I'm missing something... has the SCP exam always cost money before? It looks like it's 200$ a year now with the new system?

Possibly use a cloud icon from Visio in the background image... then drag a Led into the cloud... draw a line between your internet edge device to the led in the cloud. Then open up your internet edge router on the left hand side. right click and get properties on the link to the cloud... then drag over the interface on…

Like this makes no sense...

I know the points and rank is wrong now. Thanks for your help :^} I figured it was just some fluke!

Sounds like Cara must work in some banking industry also. With Cara's method you could monitor processes on wintel boxes... If there's a MIB for the ATM/POS devices and they support snmp you could in addition to getting server information... get information with an Advanced Poller and work from there.

I wish I would know one way or another jonchill and stuartwhyte... I was contacted by people at SW working on the new EOC and interface that explained the complete recoding it based on NPM... I wonder if that got stuck somewhere???

I'm looking forward to the new EOC based upon the NPM codebase instead of in its current state! Why they weren't similar was a historical thing but I think with time basing them on same base underlying code is going to make it much easier to also upgrade EOC along with NPM. Right now I have two large NPM's reporting up to…

I have also noticed this now that I have EOC and a larger SW implementation. As more and more people try and scale Orion out to larger size internets I think EOC's importance is growing and also more light is shining showing how it hasn't been developed and advanced at all like NPM and SAM have. If Orion is going to really…

Also if it's popular enough on Tell us your unknown devices thread: Then it will be added to NPM giant mib database so it's supported out of the box.

I have also ran into a similar issue at times from the web under manage nodes sometimes when I select a node and unmanage it with unamanage until a year in the future. When I hit ok it often doesn't take for some reason. After doing it over and over a few times it finally takes and the node goes unmanaged. I assumed maybe…

In the customer portal when you goto my downloads you can use pulldown to select which product you want to download... after that right next to the product is another pulldown where you can select any of the versions if you are under maintenance. https://customerportal.solarwinds.com/Downloads

What do you know I just figured it out! To get it to work for short periods of time I had to: Bring up the report in Report Writer on the General Tab there is checkbox for Group Historical Data by Days. Uncheck this box and save the report. Now the shorter than a day reports run fine from the web.

kevin- You can use the variable ${MAC} which is the mac address for an interface. You can you this in reports and map custom tooltips.

I'm getting these same events on an account that I know isn't being locked out... what gives? Anyone figured this out? I know the password can't be wrong because the account would lock if it tried this many times... so what gives? Is it possible the account doesn't have some rights for something it's trying to do? I've got…

I'd try restarting IIS and see if that fixes it... this is just a first guess at what I'd try.

I think you are right that only monitored interfaces are in the database. It would seem the only way I can think of you to do you've already firgured out in theory. You'll have to MIB walk the Interfaces MIB to find all the present interfaces. All of these interaces have an index which can be confusing because, from my…

Will there be a new SDK now that NPM10.6 and SAM6.0 are being released?

In the current NTA you click on the module then on left by default under netflow sources click Manage Sources and you can select which device interfaces etc. you want to get netflow from. I'm assume the nodes are already in NPM.

Please add ability monitor nodes by SNMP ONLY and have them report as up and green in NPM! It seems like it would be easy to implement. Give the option when you add node of snmp only instead of just icmp and icmp + snmp. We have many areas we monitor with snmp across firewalls where icmp will NEVER be allowed due to tools…

After reading your post I went and tested this myself. I have the same exact problem. My report writer is stuck querying the database just like yours. I tried networkers SQL in above post and got this error:

On the cisco site you can find mib info on both of them here which might be a good place to start: http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml It's under WAN Switches Walk the MIB on the devices and see what's in there.

You can use HP's own System Insight Manager to get stats from EVA's: Enclosed as an accessory with all StorageWorks arrays is HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM). HP SIM is the foundation for HP's unified server-storage strategy -- it is packaged as a no-cost, customer installable management application and is derived from…

Cisco suggests it is calculated this way: ProblemIt is sometimes necessary to calculate bandwidth use with SNMP. Solution Use this solution to solve this problem. How you calculate use depends on how data is presented for what you want to measure. Interface use is the primary measure used for network use. Use this…

Here's what ur looking for:

If you already have a fairly recent version of NPM or if you're on maintenance you could upgrade to 9.5.1 and test everything you need to before dropping Argent. I think you'll find it easy getting help here when you run into problems.

Try one of these actual Alert Variables: Alert Specific Variable Description ${AlertName} Name of the Alert ${Property} Property that this Alert is monitoring ${TriggerTime} Date and time of the last event for this Alert. (Windows control panel defined “Short Date” and “Short Time”) ${LastResetTime} Date and time of the…

I don't believe the Fast Polling interval is 120 seconds... Found this from Denny L: Orion will send a ping each interval. If that ping does not respond, it then quickly sends out 10 more pings. If those pings miss, then the device is marked warning, and if it misses the next time around, the device is marked down. This…

Mine fixed itsself with version upgrade and restarting everything.

Here's a link to integrating the two together: http://www.notepage.net/solar-winds/integrationfaq.htm

From what I have seen you can use any SMS gateway. Orion sends an email to the SMS gateway which forwards the contents as a SMS is one way. Check out this thread:
