With exceptions to Cisco, F5, Juniper, and a few others, NPM uses the RFC1213 standard. The checker tool will show you what is pulled specifically for the vendor when you click the + for each poller.

There is nothing documented. The checker tool will just allow you to see the MIBs that are used if there are some customer specific.

Slight correction, the tool I was thinking about was the poller checker tool.

You can actually see the lists of OIDs used by NPM in the snmpwalk.exe. Open this tool (in C:\Program files(x86)\SolarWinds\Orion) and if you expand each of the statistics options, if there are vendor specific MIBs they will be listed. If not, then NPM only uses a RFC standard and you'd need to find the OID from the vendor…

Mike, Thanks for sharing this script.

trying this query as a resource and getting There was an error processing the request. I had an earlier query, but it was still showing nodes that were no longer muted but would show -3 days from when they were unmuted. When I try the query in SWQL Studio I get this error: Order BY items must appear in the select list if…

Can't wait to see when there is a next version of this in beta. Hoping to see the cluster improvements in a next release when available.

Oddly it came back on a couple of actions that weren't email or SMS. Not sure why. Found though, if you just need email, then adding the Where to both the test and update will ensure that's the only thing that gets changed. Also found this works just as good to replace the SMTP server without affecting the other fields.

Awesome script. I found you may want add Where ActionType = 'Email' As the test shows it pulling non-email actions.

Is your server running both NPM and SAM, just SAM, or just NPM? You've must have SAM installed to see these options.

I just did the Q2 and rather than getting the code it's giving me a message that I already completed the survey. Help.

Interestingly enough going through Q1 I couldn't find anything helpful when I clicked on the Click here for a hint link. I actually had to navigate to the root best practices, then click on the first link for security pros to find information regarding that question. 

Try this instead and see what the results are: WHERE ( (E.NETOBJECTID = N.NODEID) AND (E.EVENTTYPE = 1) AND (N.STATUS = '2')) AND (N.CAPTION LIKE '%-ehrk%') GROUP BY N.NODEID, N.CAPTION, N.OBJECTSUBTYPE

Should be possible as long as you put it into the Where clause. 

Would love to see poller load balancing to allow IPAM to scan from different polling engines. Vote up here: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/3562

Between the pollers are TCP ports 17777 and 17778 for the pollers to talk to each other. The remote poller would, as well need to communicate to SQL on ports 1433 and 1434 in order to send data it has collected to the database.

No, the design of EOC initially was designed, there is no actual login page. The login is setup to expect either domain credentials or local server credentials being passed through the browser, or a browser initiated login screen. There definitely needs to be more work done to integrate it with some of the other programs.…

If you are an administrator on the website you can customize the page and remove or add any resources you want. This should allow you to setup a resource to show a node list that should include status. Just note, this change will go into affect for all users that use that home page.

The credentials would be what are configured within SolarWinds to talk to the VCenter. If you don't have the VCenter added into SolarWinds, then you can go into Settings > Virtualization Settings, find the host, place a check next to it and under Poll Through, change the setting to poll the ESX host directly at which point…

If the Firewall supports the Topology MIBs and can get topology information in NPM it might be possible. You'd have to manually add the firewall to the map though, same as you do a router or switch. You may also want to look at Network Topology Mapper. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop 1 Systems

It's possible. However, most of what I've found in terms of reporting I've done with direct SQL queries turned into custom reports. 

Most of this would need to be done via Manage Views. You'd need to log in, create the view and add the resources for the maps. There are some good getting started videos you may want to check out. There are also several companies, like Loop1 Systems that offers comprehensive training, and professional services to allow you…

If these are network devices, are you running with SNMPv2 or v3? If they are v3, you have to ensure the trap is setup to use the same SNMPv3 user that SolarWinds is using to monitor. Also, make sure if the Windows Firewall is enabled that UDP port 162 is allowed in to the server. 

What method are you using to gather the information? SNMP? WMI? Does the value change if you try poll now? 

no, I don't think you're being weird. I think there's a time and a place for is not equal such as you want to exclude 1 or 2 nodes out of thousands from an alert. For the most part though for pinpointing to a specific criterion or small handful, I think is equal to leads to less conditions being needed. Just my two cents.…

In addition to what shawn_b wrote, know that adding MIBs does not mean that Orion will start polling them. You can use the snmpwalk.exe tool in the Orion install directory to get a list of all supported OIDs from the device or the MIB Walk tool in the Engineer's Toolset and create Universal Device Pollers to poll the…

Are you monitoring the actual guests that are powered off, or are they italicized so that NPM is just aware they exist but not doing actual monitoring? There's no way to tell the software that something down is a good thing, it goes against the code. You may want to unmanage those guests, if they are being managed until…

There's not going to be a variable that's going to give you that. Your best option would be to send the Node details URL variable that should send you to the details page for that host and should show that information. You could also build a report that has that information for hosts that are down, then send a link to that…

That's the inherent method for SolarWinds. Just Unmanage the link and all alerting AND data collection will stop during the duration of the unmanaged time you'll set up.
