Can you get to a Command Line prompt and run it by name? OrionNetPerfMon.exe Are your Solarwinds services which are set to AUTOMATIC showing as STATUS 'started'?

i was hoping for something a little more 'instant' or 'quicker'. those could stay hanging in Alerts longer than i want. say if i build a Trigger for every 60 minutes to get a snapshot of any of these, if the the Trigger condition is still true then it won't reset after 60 min.

* * can someone with Solarwinds respond to this? (i think you should be able to reproduce this error yourself, since i am able to.) thanks * *

We (IT Dept.) were told just this morning that we will be purchasing Avaya's largest phone switch (we're talking lots of money here...). I haven't gotten any details yet (last to know :O ) What's the latest on Solarwinds and it's monitoring support for Avaya equipment? Thanks.

I was recently doing research about Packet Loss/Packet Discards for myself and came across the fact that HUGE BUFFER MISSES is probably the most important of those buffers to indicate a serious problem. One suggestion I came across was using this command in the IOS configuration. You might check it for further review to…

is the SOLARWINDS TRAP SERVICE service set Automatic and Started? and is the SNMP TRAP SERVICE service set to Manual and could/could not be Started ... just depends on trap activity.

You might consider creating an Advanced Alert to monitor the interface by 50% xmit util >= 1 hour and then when it triggers write an event into the System Events Log (even using your own wording) and then you might use Report Writer to report on those Events which could include node info/interface info plus date/time as…

is this with any Account? on the Account you are using, if you turn off Allow Browser Integration then click SUBMIT and immediately turn it back on then click SUBMIT, does that fix it? what Service Pack are you at with 9.1?

i experienced this same problem long before even using Solarwinds. my issues came about with Cisco IOS re-indexing the interfaces if the device was power cycled. and discovered if you want it globally & always indexed then use the statement "snmp-server ifindex persistence" on the router. here's something i found on Cisco:…

my own IOS counts are accurate. i wonder if yours are not accurate because you are using a trial copy of Solarwinds? just a guess... cheers.

i am told by support that this will be fixed in the next release of the ORION WIRELESS module. i'm using version 8.5/Wireless with Orion 9.0

i went from 8.5 to 9.0 - it went without any problems and the differences were very noticeable – that is – very much improved. i’m like you though – my hesitation is going to SP2…I’m waiting for the dust to settle down on that service pack. i’ve been reading a lot about issues with it and it makes me concerned. when's…

very good idea. it seems it might be Cisco model dependent. for instance this switch offers that MIB http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseMIB.do?local=en&step=2&mibName=ESSWITCH-MIB and here's the Cisco MIB to the VLAN…

go to NEW report and select SYSLOG then add the Field for MESSAGE and make a filter on Messages 'contains' (whatever is in the body of that syslog message) maybe - 'vlan mismatch' ..etc. or else make a filter on Messages for 'starts with' something like 'vlan mismatch'.

Just curious but have you done any customizing in your EDIT MAP TOOLTIPS for APM Components to get more details?

i opened a case on this very same issue earlier today. the last request from tech support was asking me to use Wireshark for some captures...not sure where that's going yet.

you probably already know this but SNMP strings can be case sensitive...this has bitten me a few times in the past. like trying 'public' and it should be 'PUBLIC'. have you tried using the same SNMP string coming in from the TRAP you're getting? does Riverbed's SNMP config include a field like Windows, that is, like…

One more thing. If you can place a sniffer there to catch the traffic. Someone or something could be pounding that IP address with malformed frame sizes to make it get discarded. Good luck!

Found this on Cisco, it might get you started... "A discard can occur because a packet was sent to a TCP/UDP port for which there was no listener. For example, if someone tried to make a telnet connection to the IP address on the VLAN interface, but telnet was disabled."

the above link to this APM template - FILE TEST MONITORING does work for this. i installed it, set it up and tested it. just two things to watch out for 1) make sure your keyword is not inside the file when you start [ that is, your maintenance.log file shouldn't contain it - if you're looking for the word ERROR ] and then…

found this i am about to test it for my own similar needs.

Must be a lot of this going on these days...I had the same problem. Solarwinds support spent two days on my server rebuilding indexes and purging old records to fix it. I guess you're looking to catch a line in the .LOG file - my file is named swdebugMaintenance.log , and it has an error line in it with something like:…

do you even have a Cisco OID to start with? something like 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.?.? once you have that then you could go here and navigate to the MIB in the device tree for those items. http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en especially to find the MIB/OID for 'Active Connections' or 'Dropped'.

We are getting 100% CPU with our evaluation install and we just made a big purchase of Profiler this week. I need to get a handle on this fast before I convert it into production.

Yes, I've experienced this also.

I hope I understand your dilemma correctly. I’m not a novice but I’m not an expert either. I can conceive creating a CUSTOM PROPERTY on Interfaces and maybe naming it NOTIFY and using something like YES and NO and then checking for this with an Advanced Alert and just send the state change variable when the port changes. I…

I hope SW chimes in on this and says something differently, but I don't think it exists. This is a old issue with me too!

Do you have an account with Cisco forums? You might get your best answer from their Network Management forum. If you don't then I can try to ask for you. Does Cisco PIX's inside interface support CDP where you could use UnDP to monitor for this condition? Just a thought...

Are all your Solarwinds SERVICES which are set to Automatic showing Started ? In Orion Service Manager does everything there show Running ? Did your HOSTNAME change ?

My two cents: The one time I did see this was when I migrated to a newer SQL server using the config wizard and tried using the same NPM account/password but would error about the password. I ended up creating a totally new SQL account/password to get through it. I can't explain why it did it, but the newer…
