Depends, there is a poller for cpu/mem and it runs on the node statistics interval, separately you CAN monitor RAM as a volume, but I don't generally do so. That one is on a 15 min interval

So you said you wanted all interfaces that were up at any time during the day, so i figured I would use the maximum availability, if it was ever not 0 that means it was up at least one polling interval. Initially using just a max availability would give me a max for all of time, so i needed to split it into days, to do…

For reading requests the API just takes whatever SWQL queries you are sending and translates them into SQL then queries the db for the info. May as well skip the step if you familiarize yourself with the contents of the db and want to pull lots of data from the system. On the other hand, if you are looking to make changes…

Ah gotcha, I was thinking the other way around. Have you ever attempted to create a subnet in the api that would conflict with another? Pretty certain that the application rejects those requests, so you could just write the script such that it has some kind of try catch logic and if the subnet appears to be available but…

If I recall correctly the thresholds normally live in the db table called APM_componenttemplatesettings, or APM_componentsettings, but there are a LOT of parameters on that table, every box you see in the GUI when you set up a component basically ends up there.

You can configure tenable to skip specific ports on a given host.

Good to know

chad.every​ already covered how to adjust the account permissions for that. I've never personally tried to use it with a non-admin account but I would expect it to work if you change the setting.

Not sure if this applies in your case, but it always makes me nervous when fully Linux shops start trying to use Orion. Yes it can be done, but there's the whole learning curve of Windows OS stuff that ends up making it harder than it has to be, and I always end up dealing with some department who just ignores it and spins…

Is that on the node details page?

APE is more cost effective, and simplifies centralized administration so I use it in all cases except as I mentioned above, where the different regions don't want to be centrally managed, they have existing installs that they don't want to lose, or if their WAN links cannot support the traffic/latency requirements. -Marc…

I've migrated a few people off Nagios, and once you guy used to the lingo and ways things are done in Nagios versus Orion it is pretty painless to transition over. The SAM nagios component monitor makes things pretty streamlined to check all the same things as what you already have in place.

I'm fairly certain that you can get initial install support during an eval, never seen that error. Looking at the error messages it seems like there is a permissions problem or communications between this APE and the orion server. The list of things going back and forth between the two of them is pretty long so it would be…

I should have been more specific, you have to check the actual sql database, for some reason the discovery config doesn't show up in swql.

This is where I started: SQL Tutorial Took what i saw in examples on thwack and elsewhere, looked up syntax references there and just general googling, and after a few years here you are.

I haven't come across any systems showing up the way you describe in any of my client's sites before, but to be honest during a consulting engagement I rarely go in and spot check drive sizes to validate that what orion tells me is the same as what I'd see in the server, I always just took it at face value.

The web based report writer doesn't like when you code in the linkfor and iconfor type stuff, along with a stack of other things it gets cranky about like having an order by in the query. You can either strip out all the stuff that is in there for formatting and presentation or when you add content to the report instead of…

Not sure why the manage pollers thing in the GUI is buggy for you, I'd open a ticket but if you have the SDK installed you can try this posh script if you like to turn them all on <#------------- CONNECT TO SWIS -------------#> # load the snappin if it's not already loaded (step 1) if (!(Get-PSSnapin | Where-Object {…

You only need one NPM license but each APE does require an APE license, and they are definitely not the cheapest thing in the world. Definitely rubbed me the wrong way when I first ran into it, but such is life. Software vendors be charging for software.

My mistake, that specific query is regular SQL, surprised nobody called me out on it until now. Ill update the post.

This thread was last updated 8 years ago, Aruba WLC have been natively supported for a long time and standalone AP's support snmp themselves.

Not sure what to say, your switch cannot handle having that many SNMP requests thrown at it. You might double check if there are any known Cisco firmware issues as some IOS versions have had SNMP glitches in them before, but ultimately your hardware can only do what it can do. I can assure you I have seen occasional cases…

Lasse, Looking at the query in my lab i see that i did the math wrong. try changing the where line from where (d.Down/t.Total)*100>50 to where (d.Down*100/t.Total)>50 Since I didn't specify the numbers to be floats SQL was rounding things to the nearest whole number and then multiplying that, which gave unexpected results. 

So to be sure to know about all the port mappings wouldn't they need to poll 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4 via <mycommunity>@1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4 via <mycommunity>@10 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4 via <mycommunity>@100 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4 via <mycommunity>@101 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4 via…

If I'm understanding this bit of the tables correctly the route age is determined at the time the network inventory job was last run, so in most environments that NCM job is scheduled to run once a day. You could schedule that to run more often if you wanted better visibility into these changes, and you might end up…

Can you screenshot the exact error you get when you try to join those tables? I tested that query in my lab when I posted it and use variations of it all the time so I suspect there may be a typo in the mix somewhere. If you were trying to do the entire query i gave you from within the SWQL studio it would generate an…

You would go to the node details for the UPS, its inside the management widget

Assuming you are already joined to the response time history table just filter where datetime > @starttime and datetime < @endtime or however the syntax is in power bi for calling that user variables.

Yeah thats me, and the feature was also added to SAM and the other modules in the versions that came out around the same time, i want to say it was 6.3 -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and Professional Services * LinkedIN: Loop1 Systems * Facebook: Loop1 Systems * Twitter: @Loop1Systems

Snmp is an industry standard protocol, not some custom solarwinds specific thing. if the 2100 reports weird data in those fields it is really up to Cisco to get in line with the protocol, as they do on their own devices for other model lines. SW isn't typically building custom data integration for every oddball system…
