I have seen something similar happen with other models. I have had to reset the Views by Device Type in the admin settings. If the model is set for (default) you get the default node view. You could see if it is set to this and change it to the ASA summary if it isn't. This is under the Settings menu. Settings > Views >…

Our team doesn't manage the F5's, but we talked to the team that does and referenced this article, specifically where @"aLTeReGo" mentions the recommended F5 config. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/network-performance-monitor-npm/f/forum/53510/load-balancer-with-multiple-awes/185163#185163 As for monitoring,…

We currently have several web servers load balanced through an F5.

We have had a few nodes that were not part of a domain. The local accounts were handled like this: .\Service Account No domain or local computer name. That is a period\Service Account

CheckPoint.

Tell me what you think Routing Neighbors state of "is deleted" is really supposed to do? I found in my environment, if I changed this from Yes, to No, I no longer sent alerts on admin down routes.

I have this same issue as well. I can see unmanaged interfaces, but not muted interfaces.

Ticket submitted for the migration question. Thanks for the info on the other part.

I just applied NPM 9.5, SP4 and that has resolved some of the issues I was seeing with the wireless tab and the Show Clients erroring out. I think that tab is working right for me now. With the old wireless module, we were able to see more client history in the node view. When looking at an access point node, under the…

I almost forgot, it might be worth commenting that occasionally some sensors are rogue. Cisco has a known bug in some of the SNMP MIBs for 3800 switches, and SFP GBICs tend to fire off power and current warnings when cables are unplugged. We were not interested in those, so we filtered a lot of that noise out also. These…

I was thinking it would be in the ARP tables in NCM as well, so it looks like you are going down the same rabbit hole I would have. At least that is where I recalled seeing MAC addresses and a way to "search" which ports they were on. You may need all of a manufacturers addresses. In the past, I had just searched one or…

We are not quite and 100k yet, but have been having some stability issues lately. SolarWinds support hasn't pinned that down yet, but something is happening where it occasionally locks up. Recovery is often just restarting services or once in a while running config wiz. We have sometimes seen locks on the SQL DB, but last…

Actually, out of the box Cisco. This responds just like any other Cisco switch as far as the command line and backups go. Enable Level = 'no enable login' for our VG devices, but everything else is the same as our production switches.

Was there a resolution to the original question posted in this thread? We are having the same kinds of problems. We were able to get a lot more information from the old wireless module than the new integrated version. We also used to be able to click on a client in the history and get all kinds of data about the client…

I will try that and see what I get. Right now, our test alert is pretty basic. The stuff between the yellow and green is just a couple of custom properties to limit the scope to a department field. The alert does seem to trigger correctly. We were just having trouble with the links in the alert email.

Hmm, I don't seem to have this when I search for the variable. Pasting in the macro isn't working for me either. Could this be one of those things I didn't get because I have been upgrading rather than rebuilding over the years?

We copied it and adjusted it to suit our needs. Limiting the scope to our Cisco gear, and then specifying hardware sensors.

I know I got this from a Thwack article some time ago, but I don't have the link to it. It uses a query you can put in a resource. SELECT I.InterfaceName, N.Caption, N.DetailsURL AS [_LinkFor_Caption] FROM Orion.NPM.Interfaces I INNER JOIN Orion.Nodes N ON (N.NodeID = I.NodeID) WHERE I.Status = 0 I also built a custom…

I am pretty sure I will have that same gotcha. Especially as the Enterprise network group pulls in more of the other remote group's gear and (so far) hasn't updated all the node and interface captions for the keywords they wanted me to watch for on their original gear. I have been working to create a view, essentially noc…

Seconded. I could use that skill and/or training.

I have opened support case #900222 for my error.

That would be good for knowing the active/standby state, but would it also tell if both fans were off for some reason? He has the pollers for the fans for that part, I think I would create the complex alert for that and add another resource to know active/standby status. I know we did have that problem at my last job when…

We do this with our state-wide backbone routers, but not other routers or switches on the networks. I still have to manually add dependencies for remote sites (i.e. sites not at the main core data centers) as there is layer 2 to everywhere else.

That works too. You can see the results. I used that to figure out that Interface.Caption was the same as Interface.decription + interface.alias. I have been using that for other alerts to learn what possible data and references to add to a ticket to help the technicians.

Case number 121060 has been submitted.

You have to do that Report Permission in Settings > Manage Accounts. You can edit the account here and add the Report Management permission.

Enabling EnergyWise at global switch level was one command. I added a second to add keywords, bjuildings names in our case. We never actually did schedules other than in the lab to experiment with. We were mainly after the power consumption reports from the SolarWinds EnergyWise reports. It might not hurt to look at…

It is part of the regular routing polling. Polling settings for routing is in the Orion settings. I think it pulls from the SNMP OIDs I mentioned elsewhere. At the very least, I can find this information in that OID. This is part of the polling settings:

Well, we did also have our router admins clear out obsolete routes so those wouldn't fire anymore. That helped as well. But the 30 day cycle is still there, IF the route is still in the routing tables, or more precisely the SNMP OID that I think SolarWinds polls for the routing table still has the route in it. bgpPeerState…

I don't disagree with anything you are saying about interfaces. The network group here is very specific about what interfaces it wants monitored. Most of it is up/down, and most of those interfaces are trunk links or links like critical sub-interfaces or VLANs routed across the state. We don't have UDT. Server group on the…
