Meraki has notoriously poor SNMP support, to the best of my knowledge there is no SNMP OID for CPU loads or a way to see it through their API.

Your message pattern seems like it could have some issues, but I don't have an ASA handy to verify the format their messages show up with. Does the rule actually fire when the appropriate trap comes in? You could add an action to color the event in the trap viewer to make it easy to confirm if it is matching it or not. If…

The agents over writ each other, only one can run at a time

When you click the gray icons does it take you to the correct node details page or not? Usually the gray indicator means that the object is currently unknown status, or whatever object the icon was pointing to has been removed from orion. Since your objects are green in atlas while you build the maps its a little strange.…

Because you split them on the left and right axis there are two separate scales being used. You need to put all 4 metrics on the same side so they all scale in the same way. As far as the min/max/avg, those values are always the same for detailed datapoints (new info). Once data has been in your system long enough to be…

Double check your device configs to make sure the flow timeouts are set correctly, try show ip cache flow You should have Active flows timeout in 1 minutes Inactive flows timeout in 15 seconds If you have anything else then the router will bundle up all the data for however long you have set and then send it all at once,…

If you are looking at the summary page then that is an aggregate of all data in and out of all interfaces on all routers. You would need to drill into a specific interface to compare it against your WAN bandwidth.

I have seen people do webhook POST based integrations to Teams and Slack and a few other similar tools, so I imagine something could be cooked up, but am not personally familiar with that chatbot. Microsoft Teams Integration with Orion Alerts

That's a pretty big ask to hope someone else will do all the leg work for you. I'd suggest you start out at the SolarWinds github, install the sdk in your environment and begin exploring. GitHub - solarwinds/OrionSDK: SDK for the SolarWinds Orion platform, including tools, documentation, and samples in Powe… These blog…

Latency is not measured or displayed in percentages in solarwinds. It is milliseconds, based on how long it takes that node to answer a ping. Percent loss is calculated as the number of individual ping packets that were not responded out of the last 10 attempts. That is why your packet loss will always be a multiple of 10.…

When an alert email is generated, the FQDN of the server is not part of the link, only the hostname - SolarWinds Worldwi…

I do this kind of thing pretty often with my clients when they hand me a node list in excel. My typical work flow is something like col A is the original IP list, I copy paste that into the discovery. You don't normally need to do it 100 at a time, I tend to do them about 1000 at a time, somewhere north of 1000 is where i…

You can do this by adding a custom html widget in your dashboard and setting that resource up with a javascript to query the API then parse the response into something that looks readable. I don't have any code examples of this specifically, but here's something I snagged from google that would give you a starting point *…

Check out this guide to setting up SNMPv3 from Solarwinds, http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/Implementing_SNMPv3r1.pdf In Cisco land the context would be equivalent to the snmp-server group -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and Professional Services * LinkedIN: Loop1 Systems * Facebook:…

That is a specific issue regarding conflicts with the Blackberry RIM application. You can disregard it unless you are the kind of masochist who likes to stack completely unrelated applications on the same box. For all the core Orion stuff I strongly recommend installing them to the same server, except in places where the…

If you just installed google drive to your server and mapped it to the archive folder I guess that might do what you are asking. You can see which folder has the archives with the info from here: Change the location of the NCM Config Archive - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Licenses are not version specific All your activation codes will be given via the customer portal When you activate you will just enter the key into the License Management page of the web console as long as it can reach the internet. If it can't then there is a process for doing offline activations.

Unfortunately Orion does not collect any information regarding resource pools, so you won't have any luck there.

NPM does not offer any ability to monitor custom perfmon counters, so you will be using SAM to do this. The built in SQL templates all cover the SQL counters you listed there so you assigning the default sql templates would knock these out for you. In the future if you do find you need to do custom counters that arent in a…

The devs did a beta of a global search almost exactly as you are describing but i guess priorities shifted so it never made it to general release. Global Search Technical Preview - Notes & Info

My guess is that the conversations is being reported from two interfaces, it looks like some of the lines from endpoints almost exactly double of the conversation chart, but not all of the colors that I can spot. I'd try to investigate which of those items don't double and see what is different about them in terms of which…

For a long time I have had difficulty with the alerts that are supposed to reset based on time. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, very annoying. Not specific to those out of the box ones, also affects my own alerts.

I believe this will address your issue. There is a security setting in Orion's iis that prevents this. 11.5 and iframes

If you are installing the current version of NTA then first of all the netflow data (most of it at least) is not stored in the SQL db, you set up a different server to house a separate non-sql NTA fastbit database. If you are sending 60 gb of netflow data per month and plan to retain a month of data then you can likely…

SWQL doesn't support CTE, all of the examples you posted are plain SQL.

I'm having a hard time with visualizing what you are shooting for, is it a long string like http://something.com/111.222.333.444+555.666.777.888 or is it a table with lots of links like? http://something.com/111.222.333.444​ http://something.com/555.666.777.888

Ideally I would probably design my "Node down" type alert with an or in the trigger condition, so something like interface status is down OR event such and such happens so that the down alert triggers on whichever thing it sees first, status change or a trap, and it won't re-trigger because its already active. I haven't…

If you are using Azure you can publish internal websites as a web app, its a fair bit easier than doing the per app vpn stuff on end user phones, but ultimately it basically is doing the same thing but MS does the leg work for you:…

I haven't ever experimented with it but based on some preliminary recon it doesn't look like it would work as a PaaS choice, but I am not a cloud expert so I could be missing something.
