I'm speaking with support now...as soon as I have a ticket # and hopefully a fix I will update this thread.

* What is this type of metric/template/monitor called or where could I find documentation on writing a script to generate several new, custom metrics? It would be a brand new template. For the component it would be one of the various scripting methods we support. Powershell may be the easiest method but if you are more…

Another option would be if you have a remote site with an independent internet connection would be to force the playback traffic through the internet via a route command in the OS and then the data transfer would still take the normal route through the WAN.

Agreed I can't post the pages either but I will show them during our session next week

I have long wanted to do this but alas like said it isn't possible within the confines of SolarWinds. Sounds like a good idea for a feature request to be submitted.

One thing that always gets me is that if you do the preview...regardless of what view you are testing it will be previewed with the rights of the user logged in. What I mean is if you create a view and in that view you say that user a can't see device b and you preview that you will be looking at things through your view…

Interface bandwidth is tracked during the rediscovery interval of the node. If the interface bandwidth reported at the time is say 100Meg and then it dynamically changes your graphs will reflect the 100 meg until the device is "rediscovered" and that bandwidth statement updates. You may want to either hard code the device…

At the bottom of the available items you can add a new item. Create a new item called NOC Summary (or something like that) then add that to the menu bar. You will just need the HTML link to create it.

We are running into this right now....What we are going to try and accomplish is to create a template with all the proper queries for one of our named instances...then export that template....Edit it and do a find/replace for the instance names and then reimport. We have dozens of instance names so otherwise this would…

 Did you check to assure SNMP Trap service is running?

A trap is a send not a get. You can't do a get for a trap OID.

This is the raw SQL of the canned wireless availability report. If you remove the availability portion along with the time frames you should get close to what you are looking for. SELECT TOP 10000 Convert(DateTime,Floor(Cast((DateTime) as Float)),0) AS SummaryDate, Nodes.NodeID AS NodeID, NPM_NV_WL_APS_V.RecordID AS…

Thanks but still waiting.

The interesting thing I have found is every so often you need a SAM monitor for a router/switch/firewall type device. Just last week for example I wrote a SAM monitor to check our NTP server which is our core router. If I was in the split model like you mentioned I would be monitoring the router in NPM and the router in…

There should be a setting within your LB to retain the original source IP. In our netscalers it's per service. We had the same issue because by default we NAT that IP. After I had our engineers turn on that option all was good.

LOL...that's why I asked about the licensing. If Interface 1 is in monitoring it will be skipped....If Interface 2 is not in monitoring it will be imported...and so on.

I displaced HP OV at my previous employer and my current employer for some of these exact reasons.

Resistance is futile.......your custom properties will be assimilated. I've never seen (and hope I never do) that one...I have dozens of custom properties and that would seriously break things.

I don't know if it's how current it is but in reference to your specific question for the Interfaces. The variables listed in that doc match what is in the table so I'd say it's accurate. I use several of these today including the utilization ones.

Just got word from my networking team that there is a device in NCM that should have been removed...it was deleted from NPM. We are on 7.02 and I had upgraded to that due to this bug....I will be contacting support later today.

Daniel, Any chance no one added your new poller as an authorized SNMP host on the servers/devices you are monitoring?

One useful step to optimize a page is to detach each resource (click on the name) and time how long the detached page takes to load. Denny, any chance in a future release adding a timer so to speak to the site. Our ticketing system for instance shows at the bottom of the screen this page took .53 seconds to load. It may…

I had a couple of items on my main page that were slowing things down. I really wanted them to be accessed from the main page however and didn't want to completely remove them. As a workaround I copied the URL for the resources in particular and then used a custom HTML link. Now they are still listed on the main page but…

Response back from SolarWinds support. I don't understand this at all. It worked prior to us going to 10.4.2 and it works in toolset. I don't understand that how after a month they can not have any sort of workaround. I've discussed this with Dev, the only current workaround we can offer is to adjust the trap that is…

The problem is the custom property integer type is can't contain above 2GB when specified as bytes. I found this out the hard way initially....Luckily however all of our servers are classified as either Large or Small volumes and I have set threshold for each regardless....So if a large volume has 1 TB or 10 TB the minimum…

${VolumeSpaceAvailable} automatically states the size in a human-readable manner. Oh...guess I could have tried it first :) I assumed since it was in the DB as such that variable would output the same. Thanks I'll test that.

Ok so it truncated every rule that had more than 30 characters in the Trap Details column. This affected 10 of the rules we had (which if memory serves right was about the same as the last time)

Ahh I see. I was hoping it was more of a SolarWinds performance issue as to suggest other alternatives. If it's impacting the SQL server as a whole it sounds as if the server may be undersized (just a thought I'm by no means a SQL expert). Good luck all I can suggest is to schedule it for when it will least impact users.…

No problem glad to help.

So Solarwinds support came back today and informed me that this is indeed fixed in 10.1. I upgraded this morning and the first discovery went off and all NAT devices have been properly discovered. Apparently it was a known issue. The only thing I don't understand is why did this supposedly known issue have to go to dev to…
