I'm just setting this up for DHCP and I agree. My main poller is over worked as it is. Spreading this out to the other pollers is a must.

Anyone doing this via. EOC. I have multiple ORIONS coming to our EOC, my Remedy instance is in that subnet/domain.

We use NCM for backing up configs.(Network Devices), we have several compliance reports with remedies for some of them that can be triggered. We need to get our hands on more templates if that is available online. Automation is the word of the day here, so the more we can demonstrate getting templates, downloading them,…

I have used the Logical Maps to break down silos. Taking the Network level and putting those devices into a Server groups view for reference, then add in Application Monitors from SAM you can hear the breaking of the silo walls. I've seen what took hours and days to troubleshoot be brought down to minutes. A much smarter…

I would like to but I can't post a screen shot. Private network. We have maps that start off two portals, one for the Network Engineers, the other for the servers and application teams. When you start off each portal we demark where one team starts and stops. We also dead end the diagrams so the alerts don't cascade all…

So, where are you handling correlation? Are you creating parent/child relationships in SolarWinds, so you only send the highest level alarm? Also, what about duplicates? If you send something to Remedy that already has a ticket, I assume the Remedy side has to handle that.

Any news on the Openshift front here? I hear Openshift has plugins for Prometheus. Whatever that means. 

Has anyone deployed scripts to automatically shutdown interfaces and devices when thresholds are met using NCM or SAM? No longer just monitoring but taking action. Or at least generate a ticket to tell the SOC to dive into some part of the network to apply their methods??

My experience in the Cloud, you can create VMs with ease and provisioning is nice but you can create a very large mess fast. Hopefully you can monitor using something like NPM/SAM which we use to monitor services like SSH, RDP and POP3. By combining those monitors in one view, you can see if your VM is up along with your…

Please put this capability in or show me to an alternative. We are just getting into using Winds for DHCP, nice so far. We need more:) Is there a custom Poller? We are looking at SAM, but there are issues with accessing via SAM thru port 67 and 68 using that Customer Experience script. It runs off our main poller…

Are people using LEM here or a combination of tools. NPM, SAM, IPSLAs? Nice read.

We've been do this type of best practice for quite a while now. Our growth in using SAM went from around a 100 applications to monitoring to over 1000. We also show the logical paths into the clouds and use IPSLAs to monitor the complete path in areas we don't own. Between SAM, IPSLAs and NPM, one can get a nice view into…

I need to do this very thing as well.

Dang, this could be it. This is unchecked. So it may need to be checked. Network Discovery SettingsSkip adding nodes to NCM during discovery

Thanks for the reply. I went into NCM Settings-> Connection Profiles those are set to No for auto detect. I don't think they work on servers. I would like to split them up like you mention. Under NCM Settings -> Advanced Setting -> This is unchecked. Maybe is should be checked. Reads weird. Connection Profile SettingsUse…

What version of NPM are you using? Plus how did you find that MIB, has nothing to do with any LINUX MIB I'm searching for. I'm hitting HP LINUX. I'm not getting version 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4. I'm using 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.10

This bit of code worked great in my situation. Thanks.

I found what I needed and it is where you pointed us to. Thank you.

[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$false} [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true} I had to reset the Callback switch back to True because it was making other out of the box scripts from SolarWinds fail or it seemed to be. They were probably…

Sorry for missing this post. Our SolarWinds NPM 11.5.2 does not have the Top 10 Flapping Tunnels. We would really like to have this. How can we load this up? Jeff

I just posted some HA questions in NPM forum. If you don't see them let me know. 

Hey, I ended up writing a PowerShell Script, issuing the HTTP from there and capturing the 404. I need to check the TCP Port monitor out, now I need to account for certificate errors on the 443 port. My script doesn't do that but I see code out there.

I find the config. settings in the admin. settings web page. The file location you provided is in there, so something is happening. Checking permissions of the user running the archive job. We are definitely downloading the configs. into something. We can pull them up thru the SolarWinds interfaces.

Thank. I found these files on the pollers our last date time stamp is last fall which is when we upgraded. This is exactly what we want but now I have to find the equivalent on the new NPM. If you run across that let us know. I'm thinking it might be a SWQL query now. Nothing is leaping out at us when we do a recent date…

I don't understand your point here. Did you look into the LEM backup utilities? We back up daily from LEM to disk, (LEM offers full backup and incremental backups), then Netbackup picks up the LEM data for longer term storage SAN disks and tapes. I wrote a PowerShell to clean up. If I have to restore I pull the data for…

You may want to take the component out then add it back in. I had this happen before in a big instance of SolarWinds, it was volume in that system. I also increased the polling time intervals, this helped especially in SAM.

I'm looking at this very issue right now. Any technique for finding flapping interfaces?

It's a toss up on the proactive and reactive on issues. We saw some spikes in events/minute, found the issue then put in a change request to the application team to fix the issue. So, we pivoted to proactive. We've also noticed some usage on our file servers which the SAN lead it looking to add more space for that team…

I think this it pointing me to Network Maps. I want to add a web map. Maybe I need to toggle something to see all the maps. Network and Web Maps. I need a map to navigate to the maps. I will try when I get home.
