So for min and avg you'll need to re-add the receive and transmit percents and set the function to average, then add them again and set them to min. To get hte summarization, then the summarization that ">superfly99 listed in his reply is what I also would recommend.

That is due to the SQL server no longer being local. The dependencies are only added when SQL is local on the server. I'd recommend doing a repair on NCM from Programs and Features, and if that doesn't resolve, I'd recommend opening a case with SolarWinds. There may be something with that version that's expecting an Orion…

so it seems like it's not hitting the AD prompt at all. On one of the users, I'd go into their browser settings and change the windows authentication settings to prompt for username and password, or pass for intranet zone (then of course add the Orion site to their intranet zone sites).

Hesh, Something else that may be a benefit to you is using the SNMP walk utility that is part of the Orion NPM installation as of the 10.2 release. This tool is found in the install directory as snmpwalk.exe. Running this will produce a text file of all OIDs supported by the device. You can use this to find the OID you are…

You'd need to add this as a Where statement Where DiscoveredNodes.NodeID NOT IN (Select Nodes.NodeID from Nodes) This should only show those nodes that are not in there.

Adding the name of the poller is easy. Select DiscoveryProfiles.Name as Discovery_Name, DiscoveredNodes.Hostname as Node_Name, DiscoveryProfiles.EngineID as Poller, Engines.ServerName as PollerName, Nodes.IP_Address as IPAddress, DiscoveryProfiles.LastRun as LastRun From DiscoveredNodes Join DiscoveryProfiles on…

Is the poller coming back reporting with the % in it? If so, I'm not sure there's going to be a way to convert it or get SolarWinds to understand it's numeric because of that symbol.

Unfortunately it seems that after 6 days, the issue with the performance counters has returned this morning. This is the first time I've seen it spike this high since I did the reinstall.

What do you have setup under Device Connectivity Method?

There might be in the SolarWinds Admin Guide. Otherwise just go to Manage Nodes, add node and add the IP you want to monitor, just make sure the polling option is set to ICMP only. You can also try a Network Discovery with the list of IPs you want to add.

Not a problem. I'm a bit curious on how they said you can use SSL with SQL. How did they say you could enable SSL for SQL? Are they saying to use port 443 as the SQL connection rather than 1433?

You can't filter by device role, but you there is a way. You can create a Network Sonar Discovery and in the option of devices, you can choose to list the specific IPs of the nodes to discovery. Here you can put in the specific IPs of your nodes and the discovery will only look at those devices.

You don't want to use the SolarWinds-Orion cert. It's designed to pass the credentials between NPM server and the database server. I would recommend either creating a self-signed cert, or acquiring a third party cert for the server. With a self-signed, you'll still get the errors you're seeing unless you turn off the…

I worked with the tool a bit while I worked at SolarWinds so I was able to get very familiar with it.

Interesting so it still thinks something is hitting it. You don't have a Toolset installed on that thing that may have an open tool? IPAM perhaps?

you don't need to use the custom SQL alert. You can use the standard alerting logic with just two simple conditions. Node Name is under node details while the Metrics_Uptime would be under custom properties.

Odd that it's not getting anything. As a test, do you have other credentials that you could try such as root, but only as a test.

The Cisco IOS is going to force to use Show Run and Show Startup depending on the config. I'm assuming these are the same commands you are using manually? What happens on the device details in the NCM Gui if you right-click anywhere and validate login?

Groups can still be useful for dependencies, and I don't think that is the issue you are dealing with. Looking back at this again, I think I figured out the issue. if 10.0.1.51 goes down, then it's children go unreachable. However, when a parent goes unreachable, in this case 10.0.1.30 I don't believe the dependencies are…

Can you monitor the physical links as well? That might help.

Correction, it needs to be: Select Count(*) AS Now_Value, (Select COUNT(*) As Monthly_Addition from Nodes Join AuditingEvents on Nodes.NodeID = AuditingEvents.NetworkNode Where AuditingEvents.NetworkNode IN (Select COUNT(*) from AuditingEvents where ActionTypeID = 24 AND TimeloggedUtc between '12/1/2012' AND '12/31/2012')…

If NPM isn't polling, but a ping on the box is, then I would have to figure there would be a potential polling issue, even though other devices are polling without problem. Regards, Matthew Harvey

They'll stop being monitored and will effectively go into an unknown state. What you'd have to do to readily identify which applications are using that credential is run a couple of queries. First you'd need to run: Select * from Credential to idenfity the ID of the credential in question. then you'd need to run the…

The data is accurate based on the ports and protocols you are monitoring and what is sent in from the device. However, there are nuances in the device config that can cause issues such as what I mentioned previously. On your ASA, what commands do you have? IP route cache flow? IP flow ingress?

I think you'd have to change your alert to the text value rather than the numeric.

Can you put in screenshots of how your alert is configured? That would be about the only way to figure out why this is happening.

I don't think the SDK would be of use trying to connect to an EOC server. Fortunately with EOC, you can create a view that only you see, or use the customize page option and add the custom query to your view rather than the whole view for all users to see.

Along with what ">jschlotzhauersaid below, you'll also want to look into the SNMP service properties on those servers. Under security, if the SNMP service is set to only receive from specific devices, make sure the NPM server IP is listed.

Are you monitoring the server in Orion with SNMP, ICMP, or WMI?

We do have full SNMP access to it and Hardware Health shows up on a list resource, so there something the device is responding to.
