Right now my Thwackpack is used as a Diaper bag. So size 5 diapers, baby wipes, desitin, a changing pad, and extra set of clothes for both boys, a small first aid kit, some ponchos, and a few snacks.

I love this, I am looking to embed a few images in the email to match our internal email format. Right now I have to do it via powershell so that I can add an attachment for the embedded logo, can you think of a way to do that without powershell? Code I use in PowerShell to attach image: $msg = new-object…

This powershell is completely untested, I don't have a good place to try it at the moment. I am stuck in meetings. the code below is "borrowed" from many Thwack posts, and the SWQL is a modified verions of a custom query on my homepage, but it should point you in the right direction. I don't think you need to set a custom…

Are you talking about the SNMP discovery of IPAM (since that is where we are in the forums)? Or more broadly about Orion? If its a node in NPM or somewhere else you may want to add device specific monitors, but generally speaking the "deafults" are things found on all network equipment, and you can add waht you prefer to…

Sorry gregthompson​ missed this post and this forum isn't as busy as some of the others. First, I get that your imported DHCP scope names don't have location meaning, but there are two parts to IPAM, the subnets that get discovered and the scopes. When they align, it automatically match up. Can't you Just rename the listed…

We have a few A10's supported by a 3rd party, but it turns out I have the correct SNMP string. When I walked it, It looks like that data is there so you can add a custom poller to gather the data. (watch the video in the link) First SNMP walk your device. My A10's had over 7500 values, Scan/search through the text file and…

I think you want this link: Home · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub SQWL queries will show you anything you want.

How is the smtpd.conf file configured? below are lines that we have in ours, first to set the name and scopes, local to query from teh server, the network to limit it to particular subnets. Set it to what makes sense. Then we grant rights, you may want to confirm what rights make sense for your servers. com2sec local…

The MIBs didn't correct anything, we did find a QoS setting that needed to be corrected, but nothing made the errors go away. It does need updates, and we plan to do that, but it may take a bit to get it scheduled. I am going to mark the code issue on the router as correct, by eliminating the other options, its all we have…

It happens to us more than we would like. I built a SQL Server User Experience Monitor in SAM to pull data on how old our scans are. The SQL is below, since our scans run every 4 hours, we shouldn't have any over 5 hours. If that component fails we send an alert and like mentioned in the link above, replace JobEngine35.sdf…

Yup, make your groups, then make sure you are in them when you select import. If you import it the wrong place, just click and drag from the left hand column to move to the correct group.

Try this SWQL and see how it does. SELECT N.Caption, N.NodeID FROM Orion.Nodes N Full Join Orion.Volumes V on V.NodeID = N.NodeID Where V.Caption is Null

I took a bit to think about this before I replied. I may not be the target audience for this cert. * I am not looking for a job, and don't expect to * My job does not involve selling my services, and I am lucky that they already trust I will do what I say I will * Certs don't impact my employment any, no salary increase,…

We started separate, we put Orion and IPAM on the same instance not long afterward. I see no reason to keep them separate. IPAM delegation is completely separate to other modules. If you have additional polling engines on NPM.other Orion stuff your IPAM install gets to leverage that.

The backpack, if that's not your thing, the polo is nice too.

I think I getting what you are asking, but we will see. I started by going to "Manage Subnets and IP Addresses", and from the "Network View" tab selected a network and hit edit. When there is no associated scope it looks like you can set it to the polling engine that you want. When you edit a subnet in IPAM that has a DHCP…

Does the connection (or any part of the connection) to the remote server happen over TCP not UDP? If so, I'd use the agent installed on the Windows 7 client to test to create the NetPath. I do this for some connections from my primary and secondary sites, with an agent in both locations. You should be able to alert on it…

I think that you want to use Atlas, link to the guide below. https://www.solarwinds.com/-/media/solarwinds/swdcv2/licensed-products/network-performance-monitor/resources/product-gui… You can right click it and select a graphic Let me know if that helps

You should be able to do it without SQL or SWQL, I think everything is available from the new report wizard. Use the dynamic Query builder, and make sure you select DHCP Scope as the thing you need to report on. Then just add the columns to the table you need, it should have everything you need. If not tell me what you…

I just click and drag them to the groups I want them in from the left hand column, does that work for you?

If you have ICMP traffic permitted from the Orion server you can get the used/free/etc., and if you want SNMP details you need to open that port also (port 161). If the VRF won't let that through, then you can not scan it.

Try: THWACKcamp 2017 End of Day 1 Survey

If its broke, I'd open a ticket. But in the spirit of giving you something to try, I'd install the agent on another device and try the path from it. It may be the agent on your server.

I have had a handful of switches like this over the last year, only fix I know of is a restart f the entire device. If there is a better way I'd love to learn it '

Also, if that is something you want to have go up vote the feature request:

For nodes in maintenance mode this should help SELECT n.Caption as NODE FROM Orion.Nodes n Where n.Unmanaged = 1 For Muted nodes SELECT n.Caption as NODE FROM Orion.Nodes n Inner Join Orion.AlertSuppression MUTE ON N.URI = MUTE.EntityUri Where MUTE.SuppressFrom is not Null

Do you mean something like these? Server Clock Drift (Powershell) Server Clock Drift (Perl)

So typically there aren't a ton of DHCP servers in an environment, we have 2 pair. After I add them into NPM/Sam I then set up the IPAM integration manually, which in my case requires the use of a specific service account with the DHCP rights delegated to it.

I bought HA this morning, I will let you know how it goes. Basically it boiled down to IS not wanting to lose visibility into its systems in the event of failures. We run much of the stack, NPM, NCM, NTA, SAM, SRM, IPAM, DPA, and VMAN. Losing all of them at once was not OK. We had a small fire in our primary data center…

You can do it as little or as much as you like. We have both SNMP and SSH script pulling data. We have even mapped our PowerVM stats to show what runs where. If you can think of it, you can likely do it.
