good guess, Questionario - that's the point ;) wrote my posting at midnight, think I was not in best condition either. I'll try to improve this request with additional information... I found custom SQL code, doing nearly what I am searching for: looks like this: What's not optimal in this report compared with that from…

Aah, now I found it- it's there in the Rules under "Advanced config search" to check against config blocks like interfaces.

Maybe you look for something like that? Check it out: SELECT n.[Caption] Node , l.[Label] FanModuleLabel , s.[Status] Status FROM [CustomPollerStatus] s JOIN [CustomPollerAssignment] a ON a.[CustomPollerAssignmentID] = s.[CustomPollerAssignmentID] AND (SELECT [CustomPollerID] FROM dbo.[CustomPollers] WHERE OID =…

that sounds promising, thanks for sharing your test results- I also opened a case to verify that our approach is the right one... regarding your reporting request, do you mean a PS state view area on the GUI node view like this? Or maybe a summary report for PS status of all devices in one reporting view? Cheers

mmelton, it was just too good to be true... unfortunately your report does a wrong join between interfaces and STP forwarding states. This happens, because the StpPortState table uses a unique port identifier which is not the IfIndex of nodes interfaces. (like you can see in my initial post starting this thread). So I have…

mmelton, thanks for your valueable input! That's quire close to our requirements... One issue I have with it is that although I choosed a current report template its results show the STP state X times per interface instead of only one entry. Another drawback as you already noted- status of every switch is shown and SQL…

yes, that seems to go in the direction... here is some additional information I gathered from my DB. At the moment there is no third poller gathering the IfIndex - IfDescription Table, but maybe this is enough data for writing queries? The poller tables: The 2 existing pollers: The assignement table mapping pollerID with…

thanks for your quick reply. The concerns are basically that we want to avoid any possible management/monitoring traffic over the WAN connections. I actually have no idea how much netflow export traffic can be, but it will be more than SNMP for sure.... and so I think it is good design to keep the flow export data local to…

right, I opened an idea with above content: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/3634

done and thanks for feedback

Is there a recommended minimum "role" for the NPM UCS user? Currently I have a user with the read-only role and I dont see the same type of chassis and blade information as Herwig You have to add every blade (via its mgmt ip) as a node to NPM at the moment to see RT, PL and status. It seems NPM is currently not reading any…

After you get it working, would you mind adding a virtual ethernet interface to your monitoring? I'm seeing 1000's of percent utilization on those and I want to see if it's an issue for everyone. I added a screenshot to your initial posting, don't recognise your issue in my system: ">

Yes I added the Primary Fabric Interconnect VIP and the physical nodes via IP to Orion without problems. The issue I have with adding the blades is, I am not able to find a configuration option for SNMP settings in the UCSM for each server/blade - and the credentials I used for the Interconnects do not work for the…

Are you sure that altering the Nodes table is sufficient for assigning nodes to different polling engines? Looks like it could break some references with other tables in Orion DB....? Below a list of all Columns called EngineID occuring in Orion DB: SELECT * FROM information_schema.columns WHERE COLUMN_NAME = 'EngineID'…

I also vote with urge for useful discovery filters, at the moment discovery is producing more work than benefit! when I add a node manually, I select my 2-3 interfaces and fine --> 1 minute when I use discovery e.g. for our routers with voice modules (PVDMs) I have >300 interfaces to ignore for every node --> click to…

Thanks Vin appreciate your help. I agree that standalone poller upgrades are more straight forward because you just have to match the primary poller (NPM, SAM or whatever) version and then choose the right additional poller version. Using the bundle, the necessary information: which module pollers have been updated in the…

Thanks Mateusz! That's what I was searching for...

Hi what's the status for this feature request? Same situation for the requirement to check multiple occurrence in interfaces: interface a/b no ip proxy-arp interface c/d no ip proxy-arp interface e/f (proxy-arp is present here) Is it possible now to create rules/policies for multiple occurrence of a command in…

Hi, is there a kind of support matrix for this topic? I have a customer with HP Switches getting the error on trying tftp: "The device is not a Cisco device" thanks Herwig

I want to recycle this question from 2012 for an actual 10.6 multiple polling engine deployment... There is now this feature "stackable" additional polling engines - supporting multiple (up to 3) pollers to be installed on the same single NPM server (I think since 10.4) Now with this feature, do I also have to multiply the…

thanks for this infos, helped to go some steps further... i've gone through the CBQoS troubleshooting guide and stuck at steps 9 to 12. so my device(s) seems not be marked as CBQoS capable in the database, although i did the module discovery reset. but the mib browser delivers values on the cbQosConfigIndex mib... next…

Thanks Mav, So as I now understand CDP, LLDP is automatically used where possible to gather optimum topology data from router/switches and this information is then used e.g. in topology functions like the NPM topology view resource in GUI or Network Atlas Connect Now feature. I've expected some additional configuration…

Hi Michal, unfortunately the CISCO-ENVMON-MIB is not supported on ASA firewalls, I've tried it and it's also missing on the ASA MIB Support List I've posted above. Anyway, I still can't believe it's not possible to monitor such ciritical device parameters on ASA's.... thanks anyway

Hi I think you are right, compared with another NPM only installation I do not have this option in adding nodes Thanks for your hint! Herwig

thanks vc for your valuable input! If it works with a custom SQL alerting declaration but not via "Wizzard" Alerting, the question which is still open: Is this kind of Group/Node combinations not supported by Solarwinds? Maybe I have to ask this via Solarwinds Support Ticket...

we have a customer where this feature is a go / no go criteria for buying orion. they also want to raise a cell phone call via http server to I/O converter when there is an advanced alert. is there any workaround to get this alert method for advanced alerts? if not, is it possible to install an older version with this…

info regarding an additional test i made - tried the 802.11 mib against controller and AP the WLC tells me OID not supported - i thought cisco controllers are no problem? the AP replies to the GET.... however- no AP in wireless view.

I created an idea/feature request for this topic and hope it covers most of the needs also covered in this post to be implemented directly into NPM? A lot of people seem to want this and also most competitive products support propper Trap handling: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/3580 Please vote!

this should be possible, create an advanced alert and select "group member" property in trigger section. as trigger you define something like: this would trigger you an alert for any defined group member, but not for group BLA - test it, I never did the kind of reverse alert you described... but as rob.hock suggested, I'd…

yes this goes in the direction, I still have issues with the filter because the "where" clause seems not to work: select db_name(dbid) as DBname,str(convert(dec(15),sum(size))* 8192/ 1048576,10,2)+ N' MB' as Size from sys.sysaltfiles where DBname = 'SolarwindsNPM' group by dbid order by 2 desc GO Msg 207, Level 16, State…
