thank you!

I would definitely like this feature, not only for disaster recovery but also for maintaining a farm of log servers. I would appreciate a official comment from solarwinds, peter.kruty‌, on this as I am planning to scale out my logging infrastructure over the next few years and need a log server that I can configure from…

I concur. tdanner, madhavan‌, Is what Jordan describes correct? I am looking at my discovered Nodes, Discovered volumes tables and it is unclear what is populating them as they only have a few nnodes in the former table and nothing in the latter. Like Jordan said I am also trying to automate the import of nodes, volumes,…

This is a SQL Query. We have only used the SDK in limited instances at this point but are trying to migrate to it.

Just use this template or annother like it in SAM and configure it to ping the IP addresses that you want. Powershell Proxy Ping Test.apm-template

Thanks aLTeReGo, and Jan Pelousek! BTW, the SAM Local help files link on this page doesn't work. the one on the NPM page does though. thanks -jc

This is why we do backups. If we need to build reports on old volumes you can do that using using your backup data. MAaybe not ideal, but no tool is going to understand the difference between a drive that is down vs removed.

This can be done as of NPM 12.0. you need to define what types of volumes, interfaces you want to automatically add in your discovery.

thanks darragh.delaney! This is a great example of how I was thinking DPI sensors in a network could be used for this purpose. Also its a great demo of how you could use that in conjunction with SAM and UDT. I will have to look at LAN guardian a bit further. thanks again

Thanks I actually did like you said and looked at the powershell snappin commands and they were pretty easy to use for delete operations. But thanks anyway for this example! I will likely use it as well.

Thanks squinsey‌! This is very helpful. Given the performance you are seeing I will need to try and do some testing to verify, but I think my current hardware would support the CPU and memory but the HDD and I/O would be very close. Hopefully, I can convince my boss to do some upgrades. However, it would be nice to get a…

chandler-bing‌, Can you share your UNDP? thanks

Hi @madhavan, Question about using these discovery verbs in NPM 11.5.2. Do you have to provide all of the xml information you list above even if the discovery is already present in the Discovery Profiles table? I am just trying to automate running a discovery but powershell keeps throwing an error saying "StartDiscovery…

It is a bit tedious to answer the question "this was where the traffic was sourced from, and this is where it was destined for" because of how NTA displays the data currently. 1) You can click on any of the interfaces listed in the NetFlow Sources View on the NTA Summary page and you can see where traffic is flowing from…

@RichardLetts, Thanks for the response. I think there is some miscommunication going on. The MIB table I am referring to does have a column for device name in the table, but the devices might not always be in the table in the same order, depending on when those devices respond to the device I am polling. Where do you…

aLTeReGo​, Thanks for the quick turn around on this. Question, is there plans to release a hotfix for anyone NOT on NPM 12? At a minimum at least 11.5.X users?

you rock! thanks!!!

Thanks Jiri! That's disappointing, but what I expected. Feature Request here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/4947 FYI, as a workaround these scripts are stored in NCM_SnippetArchive table in the database. You can simply copy and paste them into a text file and manually copy the needed text into new scripts in your…

@tdanner, Do you have any idea when a similar function for a Volumes Plugin would be available like the Interfaces plugin you describe in this wiki? We would love a way to programmatically discover and add volumes automatically. thank you

We upgraded from 11.0.1 to 11.5.1 with zero issues. Completely painless process. Thank you SolarWinds!

Great! thanks

So for some reason I checked this report a few day later and it is working again. Weird. As you said perhaps a field hadnt been updated yet. thanks for checking and sorry I had not written back sooner, got busy on another fire fighting mission. thanks again

We use something like this SQL Query to programmatically turn off pollers we do not want to use. We flag devices to apply this script against based on their membership in a group that uses a dynamic query. You could use this to do the opposite I think. However, if the node/pollers have not been discovered yet then you will…

No. Its like typing in a location in google maps. Type in the location and google figures out the approx. GPS coordinates and zooms you in on the location. Type in "San Diego" in a SNMP location field and SolarWinds looks up the GPS coordinates and adds them to the database. Then when you browse to the worldwide map and…

pat, not sure if you tried this but I don't think this will work since you can't monitor the hardware status of the ASA via SNMP. I think you should be able to monitor syslog messages from your ASA for this syntax.

does the interface not displaying have any qos policy on it? CBQOS is for monitoring queues defined by the policy. If the policy is not on the interface then no data will show up. Try searching the config for a command like " service-policy output" under the interface not reporting CBQOS. Another option you can try is…

Guys, FYI. The new SAM beta is promising a more granular and automated discovery process: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/community/solarwinds-community/product-blog/blog/2015/07/14/server-application-monitor-63-… Also the SDK has a few posts about using it to automate adding nodes, interfaces, etc. I am trying it out as we…

concur. Don't think this has ever worked like this but it sure would be nice if it did

How did NTM do with nodes connected via VPN? I am trying out NTM but don't have a VPN set up in my dev lab right now to test it on. Thanks

I think you could do some limited monitoring of other devices but it would be dependent on your scripting skills and other software you have installed on the computer with the agent. I use the Agent to run a proxy ping script so that I can test reachability from that devices perspective. I would imagine you could more than…
