IPAM correlates info from a variety of sources so it can be a bit of a hunt to figure out where you would find discrepencies. For one, it ping sweeps the subnets, but only if you haven't disabled it for that subnet (cannot tell you how many clients i have worked with where someone disabled scanning a subnet and nobody else…

The point that I always make with Solarwinds is that when customer service tells you "it can't be done" they mean "we don't have a button to do that for you in the GUI" I have almost never run into a legitimate "cannot be done" when it comes to bending Orion to your will. -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds…

Unfortunately I don't have any disk errors in any environments I'm in right now so it will be tricky. I'll see what I can put together tonight with some educated guesswork.

Nodes, interfaces, applications, volumes, almost anything else in Orion, i think possible netpath statuses aren't in there but i havent checked in a bit.

That'll be bad news for the hundreds of clients I set up html enhanced alert messages for over the years...

From a typical user perspective they usually just bookmark their team pages and use that as a starting point. This is a pretty typical example of a team centric dashboard, these are all automatically created based on custom properties we use, every time a new value gets added to that list of teams a new view is cloned from…

Assuming you already have a good backup of your db before you started the upgrade

Maybe whoever told you that meant that you can't use the same templates, if you had an snmp service monitor you would need to replace it with a wmi service monitor.

To clarify, you would add it after the order by, SELECT NodeID, DownloadTime, Config FROM NCM.ConfigArchive Order By DownloadTime WITH ROWS 1001 to 2000

Also file count monitor maybe https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/SAM/Content/SAM-File-Count-sw4735.htm

At 2700% you actually might want to buy 30 polling engines. Or slow your intervals

I think this problem was called out when perfstack first came out. Since bps is actually counted as total bytes divided by time this widget is getting messed up by displaying total bytes at each poll without doing the time rate division

Can't seem to find an official doc on what oid's network sonar discovery uses, but I did find the list that IPAM uses, i would hope they are similar.…

The trick is using ISNULL(), I can dig up a full code example later but you got the bulk of what is needed there.

yes if you do not have licenses for all the hosts then you just set up the service account in vmware to exclude the hosts you dont have licenses for.

The website I use to test my times is regexr.com, just paste my config in there and then use the guidance on the left to figure out my expression and it highlights matches as we go.

Ah i see what you are asking, you want different metrics than what are included out of the box. I've seen some pretty decent linux monitoring scripts at client sites but don't have any handy. You might take a look at the AIX templates on the content exchange to see some fairly good examples of how to process commands like…

Cbqos doesn't directly exist in juniper, but they do have a technology called a policer and those could be polled with custom UNDP's in NPM. It wouldn't show up inside NTA but it could still be charted out in a roughly similar way as a custom poller chart.

Just as a point of reference, in my environment right now there are nearly 200 custom properties. It's pretty overkill and I'm trying to consolidate and clean it up some but even with that many our CP's are not causing any page load problems.

This custom SWQL query sums up the durations of the recorded outages over the last 31 days, you are free to get more fancy with the time range logic if you like. I should also mention this query times out in larger environments so I'd probably take a different approach if I needed this data for someone with 10,000 servers,…

ah yeah theres that too, some stats only show up in SNMP, others in WMI

Have you tried updating to their latest RC firmware? I know that its fixed there for the models I run. It's just been a slow March toward getting everything upgraded past the bug

^ agreed, sounds like NCM compliance reports. Rather than turning that feature off you are probably best served by learning how it is set up and changing it so that it is enforcing the syslog server you want instead of fighting it. Unless of course your team is using some other kind of configuration management tools, in…

We do a little of both right now, every day I scrape the CMDB for a subset of the CI's that were created in the last 24 hours to build a discovery job and get them added in. On the decom side they run a script with the calls to to Solarwinds API to unmanage decommed CI's and we have a cleanup script on our side to delete…

This is potentially a good scenario for opening a ticket, but I always just start out in cases like this with restarting the services on the ape, maybe a reboot, ultimately run a configuration wizard. That progression fixes maybe 90% of ape problems for me.

This document explains the idea of it, instead of a VM you'd be removing access to hosts. https://www.virten.net/2015/10/how-to-hide-a-virtual-machine/

Those oids are tables, so you should get the info you need by polling 1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.2.3.10.1.2 1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.2.3.10.1.3 1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.2.3.10.1.4 With get-table. Each oid will probably get you 3 rows of responses. Orion doesn't do less than 1 min snmp polling intervals for undp.

If you want to chart out the current connections over time you would do a pretty similar process with the Custom Chart widget, Set a data source with the specific pool you want it to track, select the metrics you want it to chart, and then set the group by/legend shows options to both be the pool name.

Another point to throw in, tableau is totally capable of forming a direct link with the SQL database and using the data there directly for reporting and visualization. Have the business analyst just take want they want right from the source so you don't have to fuss around with spreadsheets and intermediate reports.

No official document but I can tell you that there is no built in relationship between ipam and npm nodes, I have been making custom swql queries to connect the two for years.
