I wrestled this bear at a previous employer when we deployed Meraki. They have very basic SNMP support, and hold a lot of the info you want close, so you are basically going to be fighting an uphill battle. At the end of the day there is already a pretty decent heat mapping utility built into the Meraki cloud, rather than…

It is also worth noting that under the advanced NCM settings you can enable an option for it to automatically test different credentials when the current profile fails. As long as you have already built an SSH and Telnet version of the profile and checked the box in each profile to allow them to be automatically assigned…

And did you go to list resources and change the status and response time to SNMP?

You could also run a discovery against the nodes with all your possible snmp credentials. The working communities show up in the discovered nodes tables in the database and you can take a report of that and know which credentials work against which nodes. Might have to set up the same discovery from each polling engine if…
-
Piggybacking off this comment, I would also say when you are getting into traps vs polling you have to consider the purpose of the information you are hoping to collect. A significant amount of the polling most people do with NPM is for the purposes are gauging utilization rates for baselines and historical documentation,…
-
If you wanted to run more jobs at once I would not even bother with trying to split the work into separate jobs, just increase the limit in the NCM settings. I am sure there is a limit, but that default limit has been there for years through many product changes so maybe you could squeeze in a lot more concurrent jobs, or…

It rolls through them with 10 active sessions at a time, but as soon as it finishes one of those 10 it moves on to connecting to the next device and running the script there. I've had jobs running across several thousand devices but it tends to take a few hours to finish.
-
Also the alert actions will be running under a local machine account unless you specify a user, typically machine accounts don't have access to other servers.
-
If it isn't adding them (normally it does so I'm a bit surprised) then you can go to settings > manage pollers > search for cpu & memory, check the box and hit assign. Then I'd just select all the nodes and enable it.
-
I'd be curious if the nimble is doing some kind of data dedupe and VMWare has multiple ways of displaying free space, possible some with dedupe in effect and others that don't count it?
-
One of the fun quirks about that report/account thing is that it doesn't actually save the credential you enter, it just validates it right then and then it is good to go forever. When i finish working in client environments i run sql scripts to switch all the reports and alerts that were associated to my name to their…

For any case where you are trying to include sql in the alert message it does not support displaying a table of values, you have to set up the SQL in such a way as to get the entire output in a single cell. A workaround for cases like this where you have an array you want to display is to write your query in SQL and…

The additional pollers do connect directly to the sql db as well. The ports for every scenario are listed here, Port requirements for all SolarWinds products - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Yeah nothing you can really do about the formatting when using that Out of the box method, there are other more elaborate schemes to poll for process utilization that you can find in the content exchange area, there a really good one using powershell to list them that I prefer for several reasons, not least of which is…

Adding on to this comment, once you know what your flow rates look like it may be relevant to know that a single poller with proper hardware can support up to 50,000 flows per second, and netflow overall caps out around 300,000 flows if you have 6 or more pollers to spread that load over. To be honest, I would be surprised…

To the best of my knowledge nobody has demonstrated a method of doing a two way integration between Orion and Cherwell so far, not that it couldn't be done, just nobody has put in the time and then put it out to the public. The easiest way is just to do a one way ticket by sending an email from orion to a mailbox that…
-
Close, but not quite. The logic you have above would look for a single app monitor with all 3 of the listed names, which is obviously impossible as each app in the db only has one name. You have to go to the bottom and expand the advanced options and check the box to enable complex conditions. Then make sure there is a…

DPA has an API, but it is relatively new and is relatively limited compared to what people are used to from Orion Learn about and experiment with the DPA API

vinay.by I'm pretty sure he is referring to the out of the box Node Rebooted alert. That alert cannot be adjusted to do as he is asking because it is simply checking for a change in the timestamp of the server boot time, it is intended to catch fast reboots that happen in between polling intervals but I often disable this…
-
The topic of those threads still doesn't address the base issue here in terms of licenses, it's hard coded into the application to count each instance of the appinsight as 30/50 licenses even if you disabled all the bits in it. Some of the components that are in the templates can be reproduced with things like basic…
-
tony.johnson Can we just get confirmation of what the expected behavior is right now? I've spoken to several people now and their problems lead me to believe that the integration is not exactly bi-directional. If Orion makes a change it gets a status code and it records that, but it seems that if any changes are made in…
-
Good to know, I hadn't seen them in so long I couldn't remember which naming convention applied to which backup file.
-
Like chad.every said, thats a custom script monitor for sure. Basically anything that you can't boil down to one of the built in components can be addressed with a custom script monitor as long as you have the powershell chops to make it happen.
-
The only way I can imagine moving the scheduled task being able to work is if your new instance is still using the same database as the old one was. The task itself would be referencing scheduleid's and reportid's that would not match up on a new database. Assuming you are using the same old DB you should try it and let us…

You might throw that feedback toward your sales rep. Right now they address the universal API poller in SAM, but to be honest I haven't seen anything where it would HAVE to be a SAM specific feature. If there was a big enough crowd of NPM use cases they could just include the same feature in NPM.
-
Do you have SAM? They have a custom API polling option built into that now OOTB. If not your plan sounds doable, i've done similar by setting up placeholder values and then over writing them in a script.
-
They kind of hide this from you inside the UI but those values are coming from two completely different sources. Netflow protocol does not carry any information about bandwidth of the interfaces or percent utilization, so NPM grabs it from SNMP to put on the page. Depending on how you have things set up those two value may…

I think the answer is as described in the thread, the built in Orion function only works for admin users apparently. If you don't want them to be admins they will have to launch ssh the old school way. In the past I have done the windows registry trick where you set up a protocol handler to launch ssh:// links in putty or…
