Great blog, cheers!

Thanks for outlining the pollers above. I have created them, exported them and uploaded them to the content exchange here.

Great, thanks! Would you mind posting the config you used to get it working correctly please?

CBQoS data is polled separately in NTA via SNMP and is not contained within the exported flows from your source device. For convenience and to give you an overall picture of bandwidth usage and prioritization, CBQoS data and Netflow data are combined into the same views under NTA If CBQoS data is not present, then you will…

Hi Colin, I'm afraid I wouldn't know for sure which level of logging you need to configure in order to get the ssh logins into the syslogs From reading this guide.. http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=424447&seqNum=2 ...I don't think debug level will be necessary and would likely cause you to receive a lot of…

Excellent! That OID is of type Integer32 so you should be able to alert on it. OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2 Access: Read-Only Type: Integer32 I'm not sure what way you have your alert configured - it should be on a custom node poller and chose the custom node poller -> status field within your trigger condition.

Parsing Trap variables for use in email alerts is now possible with NPM version 10.1 see release notes herehttp://www.solarwinds.com/support/Orion/docs/ReleaseNotes/releaseNotes.htm Syslog and TrapsThe following Syslog and Traps features have been included in this version of Orion NPM:· Using the standard Orion ${vbName1}…

Hi Patriot - see here. http://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-172458 Your idea of using a directory size monitor and perf counters is exactly what I've added to that template. Note, this should be assigned to your FSDB server (not the Primary Orion server)

If you do need to create a Universal Device Poller (UnDP) for additional stats not covered by the native Hardware Health monitoring, try watching these two videos to get you started. * Video (2mins): Universal Device Poller - MIBs and OIDs * Video (4mins): Working with Universal Device Pollers You will still need to…

Hi, I'm not familiar with the traps.dat file, however if it's a list of traps from NetApps MIBs then you won't be able to poll these using the UnDP. Trap objects in MIBs are not 'pollable', they define messages that are sent to a trap receiver. What are you trying to monitor on your netApps? Some existing pollers have been…

Hi Wally, If you take a wireshark capture on the Orion server and filter for sflow traffic from this device this may help understand it a bit better. Take a look at the InputInt and OutputInt values - these are the ingress/egress interface indexes. Both interfaces will be shown under netflow sources, regardless of whether…

There is no way of hiding specific information within this screen, you can either have full or no access to this page. The most common approach would be to remove access to this page altogether by setting your customers account permissions to not have node management rights.

Hi, Clicking on the header of any web page resource including the custom object resource will launch that resource in a new page of it's own. Clicking on something like a gauge would be the same as clicking on that gauge from within the node details page, ie it loads the historical chart so that won't bring you to the…

In the GUI, the closest you can get to this is to use the 'Views by Device Type' under Settings Here, you will be able to assign your WAN Node details view to devices based on their machine type (SysOID) only, not based on your custom property. Hopefully your WAN devices are of the same type.

The NTA 4 FAQ discusses some recommendations - looks like you've read this? http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/5071/NTA+4.0+Installation%3A+Frequently+Asked+Questions The optimal setup would be 3 separate servers as per the reqs outlined above. Based on the info you've given, it looks like you are going to be…

You warning and critical threshold are greater than's, they cannot be altered to be less than. What you can do however is to create a windows script monitor which executes the WMI query, analyses the result and outputs the relevant exit code from the list below.

There are a few options you could look at. * Investigate what’s possible via SNMP polling. If there are OIDs available from Cisco to give you this data, you could setup a Universal Device Poller to poll for this info.* On the thwack content exchange I can see there are some pollers available for download that will tell you…

Hi, I expect you need to change it to an SNMP Get instead of an SNMP GetTable under the advanced options and then add a dot and then the index number of the CPU. In my example below, to get the second value only you would need to poll 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.3

This resource cannot be used for Hardware Health Sensor info. You can try a Custom Chart instead - see here. Multiple Node Temperature Chart

Hi, I don't have one of these devices to test, you could try doing a MIB walk (latest NPM will have the MIB Walk tool in the program files dir) to get a list of all supported OIDs under the Private tree. Also, here is the HP OID tree which includes switch chassis OIDs ipMonitor :: HP-ICF-OID: Hewlett Packard Integrated…

Hi Waloux, The trial version of NPM is a fully functioning unlimited license. You should be able to export data, either via the DB manager (or another DB tool such as MS SQL Management Studio) or also via the Orion Report Writer which allows you to export to CSV/PDF.

You could try using a report instead, since it's not possible to sort by packets within the charts.. If you open the report writer on the Orion server itself (Start > Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Alerting, Reporting & Mapping) On the left under ‘historical netflow reports’, open the ‘Top 50 endpoints – last 24 hours’…

As you're already using the report writer you could just create a new inventory report and add the nodeID and other required fields to it and use it to create your filters in the other report.
