Apparently, when I did a restart on the server, last week, some of this was fixed. Of course I did not have a way of checking it until today. if it happens again, I will submit the proof. I had been working on this issue for almost a month! Thanks anyway, Mark

GREAT add on info for this sort of thing. Thanks for the update!! Mark

I'm having a reverse issue with IPAM where I request an IP Address from a specific Sub-Net. IPAM does not confirm the request and stalls on the screen (I have admin rights so it should just come back with "OKEY-DOKEY"). I did not have an alert enabled to go through that process but, when I turned the alert on, it still did…

I would like to comment and possibly give you some helpful advice to get from Win Server2008 R2 to an upgrade path to at least 2012. FIRST, PLEASE take back ups of ALL servers that you are using for Solarwinds. That would mean the primary server with NPM, etc and the secondary server for NTA as well as the Database server.…

I still do not see how to get UDT to ACCURATELY show who is on the device at the time of the high usage. I can't ever rely on UDT to be accurate since it wants to give history. There have even been times when I use my own log in and find that I am logged in to several devices at the same time, when I am not. Please explain…

I agree with you. I only mentioned the OOB ones for simplicity's sake. I have the same issue with a lot of alerts. At one time 10 years ago, I was even instructed by SW to stop and restart the alert service! Of course that worked just fine until the next time.... I hope SW and others reply to this post. Mark

i am looking at my SWQL and get an error stating, "Entity Orion.Netflow.Source does not contain requested property DetailsUrl of navigation property i.NetFlowSource" I do not see the property in Orion.NetFlow.Source called DetailsUrl. I think that I am missing something here. I am on NPM 12.3, just for the record. Mark

Which product do you recommend upgrading first as the process goes along for each step of upgrade? I am starting work for a customer at NPM 10.6.1; NCM 7.1.1; NTA3.10.0. Also, do I have to do anything to IVIM 1.9.0 or does that just upgrade automagically with NPM? Also, is there any difference from NPM and Solarwinds…

Further, I am trying to figure out how to be able to glom something together from an NTA Usage page that would zero in on the culprit(s) and then be able to show some history from said evil culprit. Any ideas? Mark

i am working on a ticket with CS and Dev right now on this idea. It seems that it is a problem that UDT sees more than one DIRECT connection. We will see how this comes out. Mark

I had the problem last week. The problem stemmed from a hard down on the server due to a power supply failure. (No warning; no timely shut down of tasks; HARD DOWN) Support spent 4 hours trying to fix it with me!!! The results were good but here is what needed to be done: 1. Delete all Licenses on the server. I was…

Thanks for your tips. I wanted more information and I finally wrote an SQL Query in Report Writer. Please note that Your report looks very good as well. Thanks. Using SQL, one can query by date value as well, if needed. I would use a "Where" statement based on the value of the date field chosen, whether custom (most…

The reset condition is the "when condition is no longer true". I still want to log each instance. I just want the automation to have the smarts to know it has alerted in the last <time period> and need not send another message to the ticket system. Mark

At version 2020.2, the problem still exists. I would think that the alert would reset after the specified time. Is it possible to have DEV actually reply to this? Mark

I upgrades to the latest and I received this error (among a lot of others, thanks DEV for checking so badly), and have logged this as an additional problem with the upgrade path. I have not gotten a reply as well. I checked the page source code and it looks like they forgot a value setting that is proper. MHH

Please see my reply later in the thread. It might help you. M

To answer your second "Filter Question", find the mib for the server that lists the "Hardware Type" for the server(s). That means that SNMP needs to run on your servers to take advantage of polling. That will create a small amount of overhead for the servers, FYI. You can use SW "Tools" to help find the correct mib by…

The Hotfixes and the updates to the software did NOT fix the issue. UDT seems to not be able to distinguish what is a connection and what WAS a connection. I think it has to do with the way it records the Timestamp in the database. So far, the tech says "No" but, there are other anomalies that point in that direction. If…

I have seen the same behavior at times. It seems that if the Switch does not update the information to a "Null" value overtly, "UDT does not update ITS records. That is a theory so far. What I am seeing is that a device may have been there but is not. So, it is reflected on MANY switch ports throughout the network but…

What about a feature request to get this done. For example, two UNIVERSAL Device Pollers and a Undp Gauge set? Mark

I just installed UDT. I found that the same issue was present. I do NOT let NPM or any other product "auto-discover" the network. Besides, it seems that one product does not rely on another for the very same db information already present. So, what I have done and did for UDT is do the "Add ports from existing ORION…

My latest concern is when DNS and DHCP do NOT have a reservation for an IP Address but, IPAM still shows it! I have been doing maintenance on Reservations is DHCP for my client and have taken out a lot of old reservations that have been dead for a very long time. I rely on IPAM to tell me: Which IP Address has not…

They are on the Satellite NTA server (if you have one) and they are under the SWQL database structure. They are really a fort of "Flat file " of data. They exist where your production database is located. Go to that path and then expand the Netflow production database. under that, you will find the "Flows" folder and…

Agreed that you should see the upgrade instructions. It is no longer needed to have a second instance of Orion on a second server. But, don't go giving that server up just yet! NTA is now supposed to be set up on a second server, all by its lonely self! If you take down the second ORion, Assuming that you really are not…

How about using the "AS" statement and naming it right in the query? It would give the Title as you would want it to read?

If you are using Cisco Equipment in your network, use and IP SLA Operation process (see Cisco Doc for configs). To start, take the default settings plus the times you want this to be acted on, say every 5 minutes. I used this because some websites do not permit ICMP PING. Pinging the website is therefore useless!!!!! For…

You should be able to click on any chart and customize it for what you want to see. HOWEVER, this is a "one - off" sort of thing. Try creating your own chart by inserting a chart and customizing it from the NETFLOW selections for charts. You may have to go tot he Netflow series of pages to make that happen. NPM really does…

APPARENTLY, I have stumped the experts at Solarwinds!!!! Or maybe they don't look at this stuff anymore. Mark
