Hi Derik, If you have a report with that info, the "speed" section on a FastEthernet or GigabitEthernet will just report as 10Mbps if the interface is down. Instead I created a report with: Interface Name starts with FastEthernet Interface Name starts with Gig Interface Name starts with Forty Interface Name starts with Hu…

Yes, I have all of my devices and ports monitored. However, when I look up a mac address or IP address, I only get the layer3 router/layer3 switch the devices is connected to. Not the layer2 switch and port that it is connected to like I used to get with Cisco Prime.

No this wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for a report of how many types of each port we have. Since we have over 140K ports it wouldn't be ideal to run the report showing me the individual speed of each port. Here's the output of the report I finally got working right by logging directly into the server and…

I just tried this method, but it doesn't seem to work right. According to this I have maybe a total of 30 ports on my network instead of the 147K that I have.

The first example will only send an alert if the node is down which I've already figured out how to do based on group. I've got an alert setup based on group, using group member. However, I'm looking for something to trigger an email to a specific team if a device happens to trigger any alerts. At times there may be…

I would like a 95th percentile bandwidth view for multiple WAN interfaces. WAN1 interface [95th percentile graph w/ ability to select time window] WAN2 interface [95th percentile graph w/ ability to select time window] And so on...

I'm pretty sure the switches have gone down at least once this year for maintenance, but I don't think that they would have been down long enough to drop the availability of the group by an entire 1 percent over the year. It's just odd that the members report 100% available when the group they fall under does not. I'm…

I really hate how SW does reporting, it's the only thing I miss from Cisco Prime. I feel like I need to go take DBA classes in order to do simple reporting, where with Cisco Prime I just needed to check or uncheck the applicable boxes.

The odd part, is that the scan seems to go fine. It's during the import phase where it keeps crashing on me.

Does SWQL Studio have an option to query custom universal device pollers?

Does that 0 then cause your group and overall network availability to go down then?

now if I do hping3 -S -p 22 <ip address of the last item in this chain> I get around 14ms instead of the 295 shown in the picture. Sorry for scribbling and removal of device names and IP's. I've got my tin foil hat on Also that loop you see in the traffic is intentional. This traffic is passing from one VRF to another VRF…

I guess I was hoping for a more bulk approach. Doing this for over 2K devices would be a bit time consuming.

This all nice when you say that, but go right now and take a canned report, then build a report for 2 different devices types, and limit it to those device types within 2 different buildings. I already find it a pain just to find what Orion lists the device types as. I just tried doing this to build a report to show me all…

I wan to be able to run quick one time reports, I don't want to have to build a new report template every time I need a quick answer. What took me seconds to do in Cisco Works / Prime, now takes much longer in SW. "Of course a report is going to default to all elements in that entity type. How would they know what elements…

If it's not easy to use then it's bad. That's like making a bad-ass car, then reversing the steering-wheel, and switching locations of the break and gas. Yes the car is badass and has awesome power, but if it's a pain in the ass to drive then it's not a good car.

It saddens me that better reporting is not on this list. I feel like this is one of the few areas that got left behind when it came to making a polished product. The fact that I can't apply a device filter (name or type based), before running a report is ridiculous. That's a feature that even horrible Cisco Works had. The…

Sorry for not posting a fix action for this when I originally found one. The issue turned out to be a Cisco issue and not a Solarwinds issue. Cisco has a bug on 3850's where passwords over 15 characters fail. The bug only identifies local passwords, but we've found that it also affects remote. The fix action was to make a…

Well the solution to my problem may have been to restart all orion services on the additional poller. After doing so, my test config backup worked, so now I'm trying out my full backup.

Are you running multiple pollers? I just noticed that if I created a new job, one that backs up a few nodes from my primary poller on the orion server it works fine, the other job that backs up nodes that are on the additional polling server seems to hang.

Split the jobs between backup and running configs and are still hanging after several days of trying to backup.

Well it's been nearly 8 hours and my nightly backups job has only moved about 4%. I also still haven't heard back from the urgent ticket I opened this morning It almost seems like I get a faster response on tickets if I open it as low priority.

I think I just resolved my own issue.

Does anyone have a solution to this? Here's an example of the report that I've got and the information that I want to see. Now I just want an extra section below this that combines these numbers, but when I try sum it doesn't add up right.

OK, So pretty much duplicating the original sensor and dividing it into two new sensors with different alert categories seems to have given me what I was looking for. Thanks for the input.

Option 1 requires me to edit hardware sensor individually which in an environment with over 2K devices just isn't very scalable. The problem with the other options is that it seems to be lumped up in hardware sensors, so I can't seem to find where to change the gravity of an alert based off of what type of hardware sensor…

I'm not looking for a report though. My boss wants this to be her view when she logs into Solarwinds with the ability to adjust the dates for the 95th percentile. 

I'm trying to use this query, but it looks like the severity doesn't quite match up.

I've already checked all of them out. My boss wants the report to specifically show the group percentage as well as the group member percentage of up time accurately.

One other question I had, what a formatting question. Is there any way to have the report show the availability of each group and group member averaging over the year? The current report seems to break it down by each month of the year, which makes the report much longer than it really needs to be. I just want it to do the…
