  • 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:
  • A little more information may help: What kind of devices are these? Ie. Cisco routers, switches, etc. Are they showing as unknown under manage nodes or just in alert message? When you added the devices could you successfully add with snmp as the polling method? Have you tried to go to manage nodes... select the unknown…
  • Have you setup filters in the "Interfaces with High Percent Utilization" resource? This could be one reason they're not showing up. Also if it's the All Interfaces Currently Above 80% Utilization This will only show them if it's currently above 80% Do you see them on Top XX Interfaces by Percent Utilization resource?
  • There are some other threads with people trying to accomplish something similar: Much can be accomplished by configuring the logging of BGP peer changes on your router & sending them to Orion;s Syslog. Then you an report on syslog events... it appears there is more than one way to attack the problem depending on what you…
  • Brian- Sounds to me like you already know about packet capture with various things like tcpdump, snoop, wireshark etc. I think the big question is what kinds of software can make sense of all the data in a capture. Like you mentioned ACE. Also Network General always had their expert analyzer. I would be interested in…
  • I've always thought it was 10-12k elements per APE. That's how I run them.
  • All SHA-1 certificates are going away... welcome to SHA-256. I even have to my email identity and crypto certs recreated all over again because our certificate authority won't upgrade SHA-1 certs! o.O I have to start all over again now!
  • I cannot believe all of the MVP's missed the new SW resource for customers on support ie. The Success Center! Success Center - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support It's here to pull all the info together in one place to make it easier to find... It's basically an intuitive site of info similar to Eric's lists but a…
  • Nice SQL tricks LV :^}
  • I verified that it looks the same way for me also if that makes you feel a little better :}
  • My biggest problem is the current kiwi won't work with Windows 2012R2 Server. Many of us have ran into this: Kiwi Syslog 9.5 is now Available!
  • I had a smooth upgrade to NTA3.6 but am still running NPM 3.5 SP2 because it has been stable and some issues people have had kept me from makeing the jump. I assume I can upgrade directly to NPM 9.5.1 from 9.5SP2 is this correct? Is doing this after NTA3.6 going to cause a problem? Maybe I should just try it NPM 9.5.1 and…
  • They are the same thing... a Service is a process so there's no differentiation. Use the process name for your service in Alert or whatever it is you are trying to do. See SAM Alert Variables:…
  • This really was a big change... I'm actually not surprised there are some issues... moving and rewriting the entire alert system isn't a trivial change. I'm not sorry I waited to upgrade. I want a couple of the new features but SAM 6.1.0, NPM 10.7, NTA 3.11.0, IVIM 1.9.0 is running rock solid for me right now. I've been…
  • Also you are going to need to find a place where you plug the wireshark machine in where you can see all the traffic on your network. Possibly a span port. jswan is right though if you get plugged in where you can see all the traffic wireshark will show all the conversations going on and you'll get layer 2 information…
  • You don't have to have internet access on your NPM to get your key working again. You will have to log into the customer portal from another machine that does have internet access and there you can download the latest version of NPM (if you want) and also your license keys are in there. From the portal you can generate a…
  • have you tried it with the full path to executable ie. c:\insertyoursysinternalsbin\psexec.exe \\1xx.2x.2x.1x -d -u "username" -p password c:\calc
  • You can create a new view and add custom html resouces for the gauges etc. that you want on the page. First find the gauge or graph you want and click on it's title to get it by itsself in a window. Copy that links URL. For me an example of the URL for an interfaces gauges is:…
