Ok, thanks. that is good to know! Sorry to freak out, but I just went to add 1 device today and went from being comfortably in my license (966/2000) to 3300something interfaces. So, it wasn't just 1200 licenses - more like 2400. When I went to do a printout of interfaces so I could do a manual count and just saw page after…

Ok, is there a way to flip it back? I didn't realize that EVERY SSID of EVERY access point would count as an interface for the purposes of licensing. So, having 250 APs with 5 SSIDs per has put me way out of license compliance. I want to monitor that the controllers are up and do universal device pollers to get the info I…

Ok, it's building the list, but it's still a little weird. It seems that instead of the AP name, I get the controller name over and over. And the channel column is very weird, showing some of the APs having as many as 5 channels despite them only having 2 radios. So, it's cool and let me know if there's anything you need…

That appears to have done the trick. It's still building the list, but I see stuff now.

9.5 SP1 and they've been monitored by NPM long long time. Do I just need to re-add them?

Very nice. Looking forward to it.

Should this be working with v9.5 or is it still incoming? I have 4 Alcatel-Lucent OAW6000's (essentially rebranded Arubas) and I would love the info to show in my Orion page. I know my NPM doesn't show them in the wireless section but was curious if that's because it's not yet supported or becuase I need to set something…

Ok, thanks. I had not discovered that. But of course, now comes the rub... By eliminating those addresses, they are still valid on my network. Something could be there and I'll not know it. I guess I like the idea of something scanning these big empty swathes of addresses and telling me that they're as empty as I think…

I never knew about the other resource! That would have been awesome to have. I worked around this issue by replacing the events resource on my main page with a report from report writer. You can't acknowledge events from it, but it does the filtering and made the events list usable once again. I started with the "Last 250…

In SQL 2005, if you have the Management Studio, you should just right-click on NetPerfMon database and select "New Query"... Theoretically, the # at the beginning of the create tables should put them in the TempDB, so I'd think you'd have write access there. But like I said my SQL isn't all that great either. I just saw…

I'm confused how to do so... I'm limited in defining segments to a power of 2... So if a network has 50 hosts, the least I can define it as is 64. If the hosts are not positioned nicely, 128 or 256. I've got 1200ish of my hosts detected on the eval and it's showing my license usage at 5888. Maybe I can clean it up a bit,…

I admit to being an idiot on this one. Apparently if the SQL is valid but returns no values, the macro doesn't replace. I just got mine working in 9.1SP4 after doublechecking the results in SQL studio. Mail: FLOSLL4510 has changed supervisor status. New values are: Active Supervisor Module = 1 Standby Supervisor Module = 2…

Ok, the batch file won't have access to your NPM variables... What you'd want to do is put in your actual command to execute command \path\to\bath\file.bat "${Status}" etc. Then the batch would be apclient --map-data Orion dhardy "%1" etc. Or better yet, just skip the batch file and call the command directly from the…

I've noticed that when I mistype the query, I get a macro error in my alert mail (i.e. invalid column name')... but when I have what looks like a valid syntax, it simply doesn't put the value in the alert, returning the whole macro text instead. Not sure what that means as far as what's going wrong. But it does definitely…

I was pretty sure that was the case. Since NCM is vendor agnostic and the commands that do not generate intermediate prompts would vary from vendor to vendor and even platform to platform, I thought maybe just a way to indicate in the script manually via comments that a section should be sent without waiting for prompts…

I tried pasting this into Report Designer and it seems to have absolutely killed it... but it runs ok in SQL Query Analyser... and to me sounds like what you're looking for: Create Table #Yesterday (InterfaceID int, AvgBPS real )Insert Into #Yesterday (InterfaceID, AvgBPS )(Select InterfaceID, Avg(AverageBPS) as AvgBPS…

Now you see what I'm saying... because of our dumb IP scheme, I'd be forced to the IPX which is $10/node on my network. My boss'd laugh at me.

After doing the "manage energywise" task - or after configuring by hand, do a rediscover task from the other actions menu. That's how I get my switches to move from "Capable" to "Enabled". Then: NPM must be monitoring the ports with energywise and PoE for it to report on their power consumption. Just having Orion monitor…

That's the command in the execute external program? Or that's the batch file?

[View:/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.02.92.62/10.1.1.76_2D00_trace.txt] Attached trace file.

They're Cisco 3020 switches (the back half of an HP blade center). The ports act a little weird when there's no blade in the slot, but I thought unpluggable would be the ultimate solution for those... I suppose I can just delete the interfaces for the empty slots - it's what I would have done in the past. Just need to…

The only two I remember off the top of my head were IP4k (4096 addresses) = ~$4000 IPX (Unlimited) = ~15k...

10.200.27.0/24 and over 47 minutes now.

Not doing anythnig special. Just an advanced alert, execute external program, with the command line listed above. I'd think it'd work with basic alerts also, but haven't tested. V9.5 SP1, but also worked with V9.1

Total elapsed time ~19 minutes (which, yes, is better than the 45ish minutes from before. But it's still a long time to wait)

Seems no dice. I selected the 4 switches in question, did a rediscover, refreshed main page, waited 2 minutes after it completed, did a poll now, refreshed main page. Went back, selected all the interfaces individually, did a rediscover... checked, still flashing... did a poll now, still flashing... On one switch, selected…

Ok, score me some idiot points for today, I managed to not see that button over and over again, dozens of times, instead looking for it all over the admin pages for my account. I was indeed linked to the WebViewer account.

I finally ended up just deleting the whole segment and re-creating it. Works fine now.

Ok, there's a cancel button on the two subnets I added after the error. I clicked cancel on them and resubmitted a manual scan which one of which finished in minutes... The stalled scans had been running for two hours. And the second is currently over 10 minutes for 254 addresses. No error message... Yes, we currently use…
