 Thanks! Hope I didn't get anyone in trouble there - that came across a bit short, didn't mean for it to. I was setting this up for someone else - their server, their network, so not in good spot to try out v5. If its a matter of trying out a couple of dll's I could definitely go back and do that. I am also going to try…

 I submitted this problem to support on 7/21, and got a message back telling me to verify that the device template is set to catos. I replied that they were, explained the situation again, and gave the link to this thread. I have not heard back from support since and never received the DLLs to try. ?? - Kathy

I am installing this for someone else, so I may not be able to swing the beta since this isn't my network & server. But I will try to stage the same scenario on my own network. I turned this into support with session traces - the case is # 51867. I will try out the DLLs (I'm assuming support will provide them) and post the…

Any resolution or work arounds for this? I am seeing this exclusively with catos switches running ssh. The session trace shows that login succeeds, show config is executed, the switch begins to respond in the typical catos fashion (several lines of ....... as it preps the config output, which takes maybe 15-20 seconds).…

I am getting the same error on 8.5.1 sp3, so this problem either isn't fixed yet or has only been partially fixed. Here's one scenario that will produce this error (or at least its consistent in my environment): I have custom fields for location name and location code. Custom fields are added as account limitations. I…

freemen, I found the same thing. Also, I'm pretty sure that: 3 - trigger condition met, but is suppressed I would just like to hear a confirmation (or correction) from solarwinds so I don't tell someone else something I feel like is just a really good guess. - Kathy

hi Denny and Brandon - something seems a bit off about these descriptions (or just needs some clarification?) What does "Not Triggered" actually mean? Lets say I have 10 nodes and 1 is down, and I have a plain node down alert. The 9 non-down nodes do not show up as "Not Triggered" entries, nor would I expect them to. Does…

Would it be possible for you all to comment on how this value is being calculated? I have 3.0.1 esx servers reporting 10,000%+ cpu utilization, and I would like to be able to explain it and concretely point the blame at esx. There is no processor info being returned from the host resources mib. I don't see a single oid…

Ok, I figured out what this is. The 8.5.1 admin guide copy I have saved locally (downloaded in march, which was sp3, right?) says to set impersonate to true in the inetpub\solarwinds\web.config file. I am running 8.5.1 sp3, but when I checked the most recent doc copy (which is for v9, not 8.5.1) on the website, the file to…

Chris - does that mean that tftp'ing the config back from a menu interface will not work, or am I misinterpreting that? I think what most of these older baystacks that are causing so many problems have is a menu only interface with a binary config that can only be downloaded via tftp. Is that covered in v5 or is there a…

Chris - Thank you SO MUCH for the response! This absolutely clears up what this feature is and how to use it. It doesn't work for our use case, but for now we will just manually collect configs for those devices and add the files on to the devices in Cirrus. In case there are plans to expand this feature in the future (or…

I'm sure someone has already asked for this, but I don't see it anywhere... The ability to check multiple instances of a match. For example, "transport input ssh" exists on all vty stanzas. Or a description is set for every interface that is not shutdown. Thanks!

Is this feature working? I have users created with an account limitation which correctly works to limit the nodes list, top 10 lists, etc. I chose this option on the map they see. It has no effect - toggling the option produces the exact same effect (all nodes appear on the map, when you drill in you get an access denied…

Being able to add fields to policy reports would be very useful as well. Oh yeah, and also be able to choose the sort order of fields (at last the identifier fields - hostname, etc.) Thanks! Kathy

I confess to not knowing exactly what the regex wizard in ipmonitor looks like, but what would be REALLY REALLY REALLY helpful is, added to the rules definition box, a text field where you can paste in a blob of text or a whole config, click a "validate" button, and it will (1) tell you if there's a match, and (2) if there…

I'll answer my own question... In the customer portal, I see v5 sp2 is the latest NCM, but when I contacted support about this issue, they gave me the link to download 5.1. Not sure why 5.1 isn't shown on the customer portal...? I upgraded to 5.1 and the problem is now resolved. woohoo!

Thanks! I'm submitting the ticket now.

Worked like a charm. Thanks!!!

8.5.1 sp3. It was not a new install at sp3 - I have patched it up to sp3 (not sure if that has anything to do with anything, but thought I would throw it out there...) thanks!

I ran into the same thing. You may be out of luck on the 450s, but on the 470s (and many of the other baystacks) there is a (usually) non-default option to first go to CLI mode. All the OOTB cirrus device templates expect the baystacks to be in CLI-first mode. If you don't have that option on your 470s, newer code will…

Sorry to keep bumping this topic, but can someone from Solarwinds respond? I submitted a support case with the above information and got back a quote from the admin guide (one line verbage on allow/disallow which I had already noted), they said that was the only information they had, and the case was closed. In order for…

This did it for me: Volumes.Caption not like '%Memory'

For Request #2: Request 2: Having an alert action that will update a custom property. I could have sworn this used to be in Orion, but maybe I saw it in a dream once and thought it was real. You can do this in a Basic Alert, but not in an Advanced Alert. Can this also be added as an action for an Advanced Alert? This would…

Jeremiah - there may be something else in your scenario that would not make this option feasible, but one possibility is to create a single alert with multiple alert actions. Each alert action can use a different time frame setting (in an advanced alert.) So you would define the trigger once, but have several email…

If what's returned is a 0, there is a value returned. The "no value returned" you are seeing is most likely because dsx1AlmCnfGrpEntry is a reference to a table of values, rather than an individual value. If you use the getNext option, you should get the next actual value returned. That's probably not really what you want…

Is there anything new on this? I've got v5 sp2 now, and am still getting the same error on catos switches. 

I found that alert suppression based on more than 1 device does not work in advanced alerts and why - what this is doing on the backend is creating a count sql query (select count ....) If you put in critieria such as node name = server1 and then node name = server2, regardless of how you format this with condition groups,…

Can someone comment on how this works? The only reference I can find is enabling/disabling it, but no pointers on how to actually configure it to work. I went through the admin guide and I don't see any documentation beyond enabling it. I would assume that you would need to know the ip of the intermediary device, login…

If your NCM database is on the same SQL server and your NPM database user has read access to the NCM database, you can use Report Writer against the NCM database now. You will need to specify the full name (like ncm.dbo.tablename) for each of the tables, as the connection string is still pointed at the NPM database. I…
