I agree that there is space and a need for both. aluciani, I think you pointed out the most important reason for having a solution that is external to your business if the web app is critical to external users and customers. Testing from within will never give you accurate results. That said, I think you also need…

I'm not privy to how long they keep logs but I do know that it seems that the idea has shifted. It used to be that more information was better, until lawyers jumped in an started suing for those records and then companies started trimming what they kept. At least, thats the story I was told. Jim

Option 3

We were having this issue as well. In face, on locations where I use WMI I have more issues with monitoring due to DCOM errors, higher bandwidth to monitor, and just general unknown status' I'm currently trying to weed most of those devices OFF WMI monitoring and just use it where I need to. It was a poor decision on my…

Oh.. those BROWNIES.. =) 

They CAN all be identified by interface ie all the primaries are s0/0/0 and all the redundant are fa0/1 but I agree with you, I would prefer to use custom properties. However, that bring up another bug that plagues me. At times, I find that when I add a custom property it doesnt show up in the node or interface details so…

Ditto! LOL Sad I missed the focus group.

Thanks Peter. I am sure they would want to see the IPs associated to that MAC too but I think that gets them started. I really appreciate the quick response. Jim

I agree with Leon Adato and never use suppression. Also keep in mind that using Custom Properties can help you to trigger on the nodes you want, without getting ones you dont. We have a lax way of naming our nodes here and I use custom properties to make things more standard and easier to filter. Jim

michal.hrncirik - Thanks so much.. Perfect. I was close. I was looking at VOIP reports and not VOIP Call Details reports. Jim

I dont see an "endpoint" resource in customize views. edited: Actually you were correct! When I searched for "endpoint" I didnt type it all the way out. Once I did, I saw them.. Thanks! Jim

I dont think I got my Spread the Word either. If all the requirements are not met, do you indicate that so it can be corrected? Thanks for answering these questions... I was wondering what the OP asked as well. And I REALLY need my backpack.. LOL Jim

Just returned from Loop1 201 training recently. It was a great experience. I learned a lot of things I am now trying to implement. My boss was very impressed with the amount of items I came back with that would improve our experience with the Solarwinds platform. Jim

Thank you maria.bungau. Points me in a great direction.

Tim Thanks. Yea, that didnt seem to work either and I am thinking I have to be over thinking this. So here is a copy of a small part of the config that I grabbed of a router and made sure that the NCM config I was comparing it to was the same. I added the \n as you suggested and tested against the config. It came back as…

Thanks Zack You're on the right track. I have approximately 300 stores with routers that have a primary circuit and a backup circuit. What we are trying to determine is on a monthly basis, how often is the store on its primary circuit and how often is it on a back up. The primary is typically on a serial interface and the…

Thanks Peter. So then, no good way currently to tell my desktop team how many Apple devices are on the network? Much appreciated. Jim

Call accounting reports?

We are in that situation.. We need support for IOS-XE and NX-OS

I have the same issue. We own six different modules and every time I upgrade something breaks. I try to use the installation guide but its very complex and in many cases not updated. What I've decided to do, and I hope it helps, is to begin a process of only updating one module at a time. This coming week I am upgrading…

I had ended up turning it in as a case. I should have wrote back. I had to actually format it like N.CustomProperties.Department = 'CampusSW' Once I did that, worked great.

I wouldnt suggest that I have the best way, but what I did (large network too) is to divide up the network into smaller segments and scan each (on a schedule) on each of the 7 days of the week. Then I ignore devices that I dont care about so that when it rescans, i dont see them anymore. If something is added, or changes…

I am having the exact same issues. So, I feel like I have all this data that I have been collecting but getting a simple report like "How many ports are currently connected to something" and being able to group that by my three main centers (Data center, Campus/User network switches/Store switches) seems to be very…

Currently, the interface for Sonar Network Discovery. Not enough filters, not enough options, not enough consistency with the other GUIs that are fantastic in NPM

Awesome.. Had to tweet that one.
