This works great for people that have large networks with multiple regional sites, and when they only want to be Alerted for a Node that is in their region. Something that I think is important to note and should be included in the article, is that you will need to adjust the variable if the Alert is for any other object…

It appears that the last bullet "Discover and monitor network equipment requiring a command-line interface, like Cisco Nexus gear" should accomplish this. There are many networks using Nexus and it's VRF functionality. I could see this being a deal breaker for some people.

I just tested the integration of AerisWeather API and SolarWinds WW Map, and it works beautifully! I created a free trial account on AerisWeather, and updated the urls in the script with what it gave me for the radar map within My Account. You can get much more than just a weather radar overlay with this, but it is all I…

Bingo, @andrew_watson ! This is what I have been looking for as everytime I set this up for someone, it only partially loads about half the screen with big square blocks missing weather. Its so bad that I always end up deleting the custom html resource and not using any weather overlay for this map. Can you please give us…

I have worked with a handful of clients needing Cisco CUCM v11 support with VNQM.

You simply create a "Send a GET or POST request...." as a trigger condition for any of your alerts, and copy the url into the url field using HTTP Post, and then the rest of the text into the body. The only thing you should have to change is the SERVICE KEY, and you get the service key from your PagerDuty site. We had to…

Unfortunately, I can't give you the exact answer for this, but I would think this could be done via a powershell script monitor in SAM. I would think that the script could perform the following: * Run a netstat type command and record results in a .csv(or similar) file. * Read the .csv file and find particular…

You are getting that Error message because those Cisco devices did not like the commands that SolarWinds VNQM pushed out to them. Note that you are not yet able to push ip sla operations to Cisco devices running IOS 15.x in VNQM. You must manually create the operations on the source and destination devices. This is an…

You should put netflow on the hub device since all traffic will have to flow through the hub. Now, if the hub device is stressed and there is high cpu/memory utilization on it already, you may not want to overwhelm it. In that case, you could enable netflow on the spoke devices. It would not serve you any purpose to enable…

I would check the following: Make sure you are logged in as an Admin with Node Management rights via Settings>Manage Accounts The user adding the node should only need the second one, "Allow Node Management Rights", but I would have both set to Yes just to be sure. If the user you are logged in as already has these rights,…

First, if possible, I would remove the banner from one of the Adtan devices and then try to see if that works. Then we know it's the banner, and not the device template. If that fixes the issue, then I would modify the device template to work with your banner. Are you using "Auto Determine" for device template? If you are,…

You can configure your backup job(s) to only backup configurations that have changed, and skip the ones that haven't. This ensures that NCM isn't backing up the same configuration over and over, and only backs up a configuration when it is different from the last downloaded config. If you do it this way, it won't…

You should be able to accomplish that using the "DNS User Experience Monitor". Just Duplicate and edit the one that is already there in Application Templates, or you can create a new template and Add a new component monitor called "DNS User Experience Monitor". You want to create two of them and one you will choose…

The Link Utilization and Link Speed features are only supported on links that were created with the "ConnectNow" feature in Network Atlas. Orion connects devices together using the Layer2 and Layer3 topology data that it polls in NPM. I have seen it work for Cisco, Juniper, Brocade, and more. Try recreating your sub maps…

The only problem with the Errors and Discards in Orion is that you do not know what kind of Errors/Discards they are until you go onto the device and do some show commands. You can still poll individual or specific Errors/Discards using Universal Device Pollers(UnDP). Just some food for thought. - Parker

Can you please provide more information? Exactly what IOS Upgrade Config Change Template are you referring to? Are you getting any error messages at all? If it is a custom thwack template that you've imported, make sure to check the readme or instructions for the template. You can also turn on "Tracing" in NCM which is…

Greg, In order to get more information and possibly the root cause, turn debug logging on for the Application Monitors that are acting up. Do this by Editing the Application Template and check mark Debug Logging under "Advanced" Section. This will produce text files with debug information for those templates you enabled it…

At my old job, we used a proxy server for web access. I created an IP address group with only the IP of that proxy server, and whola! We only had one single DS3 connection, so I monitored that connection via where it came in on our Cisco ASA and of course enabled netflow on it. I remember our internet traffic was easy to…

Is there anyway you could get it to write to a Windows Event Log? If so, you could easily configure a Windows Event Log monitor in SAM that will trigger as down when that Event is found and then just use a component monitor Alert for it. or you may be able to accomplish it with a SAM powershell script monitor that checks…

3 Things that I would like to see fixed regarding SolarWinds views: * Adding views to Menu Bars! Depending on how many views you have to choose from in "Available Views" and where the view is on that list(near the bottom), you could be sitting there for a few minutes while you grab the view in the Available Views list and…

Go to Manage Custom Properties>choose a CP>Click Export at the Export CP screen, open the plus sign next to advanced and choose Community. Make sure all of your nodes are selected, choose Excel .xls, and click Export! Done!

Make a copy of that component alert, and edit it. Use a Complex Condition in the Trigger Condition and click on Add Section. This will bring up another Trigger Condition section and Alert on Component from the drop down menu, and create a simple condition saying Component Percent CPU is greater than Component CPU Warning…

I remember seeing this type of weird behavior in older NTA versions: Netflow service stopping randomly and when you manually bring it back up, it just goes back down given some time. It was with older NTA versions, and don't remember seeing it in the field for newer versions....4.2.3 or above. If there is no obvious reason…

Below is the information you will get about users with AppInsight for IIS:

This can definitely be done in NPM..... First, you need to add those Linux devices to Orion using SNMP or now, a Linux Agent. After you have added the device, ensure you are monitoring the disks in Manage Nodes, and if not, List Resources for them and check box the disks it sees(should find all of them) to start monitoring…

Scott, That sounds frustrating and understand where you're coming from, trust me on that. I would contact Huawei and see if they can provide you with the OIDs for the metrics you need, and then create a Custom Poller in the SW Web Console using those OIDs, or a Universal Device Poller, if necessary. But first you need to…

I would call SolarWinds customer support (866 530 8040) and get routed to the licensing department. I would think that they would be able to help you out with some sort of termination clause, especially if you were told it would support your environment. Even if you weren't, I would be persistent. 

You are wanting to Alert when that "component" goes into a warning or critical state. The built-in blanket Alerts for SAM are: Alert me when a component goes down Alert me when a component goes into a warning or critical state There are two other ones Alert me when an application goes down Alert me when an application goes…

Try this custom SQL Query to see if it returns the number of processors for the VMs your current report is missing. It is a Query that will report on ALL devices you have in SolarWinds, and it was able to return the number of cores for our Hyper-V and VMware VMs. I am not a SQL Guru, but if this works and returns what you…

Pat, I just recreated your report on my system. I added the "Processor Count" column to the out of the box "All VMs" Report. The report listed the number of CPUs for VMs hosted by VMware, but not for VMs hosted by Hyper-V. I also downloaded a custom Server Report from thwack with a Processor Count column, and it did the…
