I was literally just thinking the same thing 5 minutes ago when I created a new Applications tab for servers that have applications monitored in SAM. I just used the Asset Inventory options since only servers have the asset inventory...close enough.

Similar to the solarwinds patch manager type integration where Solarwinds displays a summary/reports dashboard of SCAP.

Also Wireless monitoring support for Fortigate 310B. It would be nice if it could pull the same metrics as a Cisco WLC.

Support for other vendors such as Dell, Brocade, etc. It would be really nice if all devices that support hardware health, also support stack/chassis monitoring.

Every client who uses WPM asks for this capability. They are always bummed when I tell them no. SolarWinds, please enable me to be able to say YES! when this question is asked! 

I have worked with atleast 3 clients that are not able to view the MOS, Jitter, Latency, and Packet Loss for call data because they are Cisco SIPs

Try doing the opposite: Resolve the IP address to name. I have never seen that error message before, but it looks like a common error that you may be able to research via Google. Usually, for that DNS user experience monitor, I configure it to resolve a website. If it still fails after trying resolving the IP, you can turn…

Good call on creating a SW tech support ticket. They really do have some of the best technicians, and if there is a possible fix, they will find it. Just a tip: if you call their tech support number and enter your ticket number, you should get a technician on the line with a brief hold. They will then remote in and fix the…

Try changing them to Agent, and see if that fixes it. If Agent polling isn't available it will automatically revert to Agentless, so it can't hurt. Good call, squinsey.

aLTeReGo​ , Service: Remote Desktop Licensing component monitor is only for Windows Server 2003. Our client is using Windows Server 2012, and they want to be able to retrieve this metric, but lsreport.exe isn't on Windows 2012. Is there a way to monitor this metric in Windows Server 2012?

You may consider creating a "wr mem" job that runs on your Cisco devices on a regular basis.

Excellent. I didn't know that is how that feature operated. I always thought it was only used in Node Discovery. I've always steered clear of providing NCM connection profiles to any Node Discovery, and managed Nodes with NCM manually because of the bug that doesn't allow you to remove connection profiles from discoveries.…

The vmxnet 3 - Ethernet Adapter - Prodnet and the vmxnet3 - Ethernet Adapter #2 - Backnet look like the actual NICs and would be the only ones I would keep.

Try logging in with the local SW Admin account (if you have the password - default pw for this account is a blank pw), and then modifying the job. 

The show and copy the running config would be easy. Just put the commands you use in the cli as variables. Now, the "ctrl y" is a good question and not sure off the top of my head. Hopefully someone can jump in about the possibility of that. In the interim, i'll ask around and find an answer. - Parker

You may be on an older version of UDT. The SolarWinds reports were integrated with the web console awhile back. I was referring to creating a new report in the web, and not the legacy Report Writer program. Upgrade to the latest version of UDT(and other modules you may own) at your earliest convenience. If you don't have…

Thank you, Rick for the detailed and very useful information! One thing that came to my mind when reading about packet sniffing and wireshark was SolarWinds Quality of Experience monitoring. It is a add-on dashboard included in Orion that uses packet analysis sensors(unlimited and free) which perform deep packet inspection…

I am experiencing the same exact issue. What exactly was the problem with the licenses, or what did you do to fix it? Thanks, Parker

The is an NCM Report, and he only has NPM and that is why he isn't seeing it. Unfortunately, it only returns the community strings for nodes that have been added to NCM.

parafordo, As you will see, there is more than one way to do something in Solarwinds. Your answer that you marked as correct will work, but is it the best way? That will trigger for that one single component, but what about other components? You don't want to have to create a new custom SWQL alert for every component you…

Just to piggy back on what Steffen posted......if those thwack checkpoint templates don't work, you can modify the templates once you import them. You might need to slightly modify some of the show running/startup type commands to match the cli syntax of your specific checkpoint model. Regards, Parker Robinson Loop1

I have to agree with Network_Guru here. I am working with somebody that is monitoring all vlans(routed and unrouted) and I have been researching the difference between the two. The unrouted vlans will have a similar amount of traffic but always just a little more than its cooresponding routed vlan. I am auditing their NPM…

Note: If its a 64bit platform run the following to rebuild the perf counter db: C:\Windows\system32>cd .. C:\Windows>cd syswow64 C:\Windows\SysWOW64>lodctr /R

You can do this by running Wireshark on your Orion server where you're expecting Netflow data to appear. The Netflow packets appear as cflow. There is a really good Solarwinds Netflow troubleshooting technical reference out there: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/ref/NetFlowTroubleshooting.pdf

I can second this suggestion to set the device template from auto to the WLC device template. This is also the case for Cisco ASA's. This is probably your issue unless credentials are wrong.

Ok, I didn't know you were looking to pull the actual keys. Like Steven said, if this is possible, it would have to be done via a custom powershell script. I found a powershell script that you can run locally to pull the key for SQL(see below), but I am not 100% sure you can run it remotely from your SAM Server. Steven K.…

Atta boy, Andy! The client I am working with was getting the error on the Group Details view, and I thought Account limitations but none was applied to the account. The problem was a limitation was applied to Group Details view Thanks, Parker

Now, to get this report to display on your UDT summary page with a Node Name(switch name) search box, do the following: Add a "Custom Query" resource to your UDT summary page. Paste that custom report SWQL query into the box, and select "Enable Search". You are then going to paste the same query into the second box, but…

What exactly did you enter in the location field? The following are supported formats: Format Example city (AA5), state (AA3)Lancaster, PAcity, state, postalCodeLancaster, PA, 17601postalCode17601street, city, state300 Granite Run Dr, Lancaster, PAstreet, city, state, postalCode300 Granite Run Dr, Lancaster, PA,…

I don't have a chance to check it out for myself right now, but you can find it by clicking on the "Insert Variable" button in the Emaill Trigger Action Message section for that interface alert. Search for that Email custom property that you created. Then copy and paste that variable into the Email To: field. If you can't…
