I don't know of a GUI that will create a SNMP configuration file, but here is a link that can help you get SNMPv3 working using net-snmp running on Linux (Ubuntu) http://wmunguiam.blogspot.com/2009/07/howto-use-snmpv3-ubuntu.html What you need to remember is that SNMPv3 doesn't have a community name, it uses specific users…

I'm thinking that you will likely want to run the Configuration Wizard again to reinstall it, but give a call to Technical Support to make sure that there isn't an easier fix.

It's in the events table. select * from events where message like '%stopped responding%'

Byrona is correct, I've had customers request similar views in the past. It's a pain to get configured, but once you get one down it's pretty easy after that. You'll just need to add a custom HTML resource for each interface you want to pull the graphs from. Then go to the NPM view for the interface and open the page…

I know you should not have NTA on the same server that your database is running on. I've run NTA on the same server that NPM runs on all the time, I guess it really boils down to how much traffic you have going to the NPM server. By installing the NTA module on other polling engines, it would install the NTA listener where…

Have you tried these steps? For Windows 2003 - 1. open Orion Service Manager (Start -> All Programs -> SolarWinds Orion Advanced Features) 2. click on Shutdown Everything to stop all SolarWinds Orion Services 3. go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\JobEngine\Data * In Windows 2008 go to:…

Hungctt, Do you by chance have the 'Edit Custom Node Property' resource added to the default Node Details view for this node type? Otherwise it sounds like the database schema hasn't been updated and you'll need to rerun the Configuration Wizard. What version of NPM are you running?

Couple possibilities that I can think of off the top of my head. Most likely it's the mail server that it's connecting to. Either it doesn't allow mail to leave it's own domain or the mail server's DNS resolver doesn't forward queries to other DNS zones that it isn't authority for. Either way, I don't think the…

Did you change the name of the server or IP address when you virtualized the server? Do you have more than one polling engine? Are all the Orion services running? Have you tried to restart them using the service manager?

kkennah, What you are describing is the net-SNMP extend functionality. Since you're getting responses from the UCD-SNMP-MIB::extResult.1 (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.1) OID, that tells me the Barracuda isn't running the latest version of net-SNMP as the exec & sh commands have been depreciated and replaced using the extend…

First suggestion I can think of would be to clear out your browsing cache. See if that makes a difference.

Are the alerts still showing up in the web interface? If you rebuilt your mail server, check the email trigger action for the name of the mail server you've configured. If your new mail server has a different hostname, you can create a entry on your DNS server to match the old one or use the windows hosts file to create…

You will need to create a view, then add as many custom html resources to accomplish what you're attempting to do. Then open another browser, browse to the node interface (if you wanted interface statistics lets say) and then drill in to the interface you want for statistics. Open the page source and dive in till you find…

When you select "Windows Authentication" it will use the account that you're currently logged in with on the client desktop. So if you have RDP'd to the server using windows credentials XYZ on the domain, that is what it's passing. If that user doesn't have permissions on the database server then you'll get this error. If…

When you add a node to the VNQM module (Previously IPSLA) you should be able to add a CLI credential or the SNMP Read/Write credential. SolarWinds will automatically update the IPSLA configuration in the node's configuration via either CLI or SNMP.

You can create a UnDP using that OID to poll against the switch you want this information from, but expand the "Show Advanced Options" and make sure that "Get Table" radio button is marked. You can map the values by selecting the Format: down drop and then enumerate the 0 and 1 to up and down. At the end of the wizard it…

I would think that really depends on your network infrastructure and what your organization would consider to be a Critical, Major, or Minor event / alert. It's really versatile in allowing the administrators to define what they need in alerting. As an example, you could consider a network latency of greater than 30ms a…

Dal, While some of the error message I don't understand the language, I can pick out some important bits. It appears that you're attempting to add the nodes through Mozilla, have you tried using Internet Explorer to do the same tasks? Are you getting this error when you attempt to add a single node or does it happen when…

Are your customers logging in to the Solarwinds web portal to see these statistics? If they are you can create a custom interface property and then apply an account limitation based on that custom property. If I recall correctly, you can have a node limitation, a interface limitation and then a volume limitation applied to…

I found an article on the msdn forum that sounds like it might be a place to check: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sqlce/thread/6bcc797e-fa59-49e0-8bf8-4ef276822162 The key is where the error is telling you that it can't find the file specified. There is a post here on thwack that describes rebuilding/repairing…

I would suggest that you contact Technical Support on this, they would know the reasons behind the 'why' I would think.

If I recall correctly, NTA licenses the flows not devices or interfaces. If you have NTA collecting 20 flows from the same router / switch than that would take 20 licenses. NPM and NTA licensing have to match. If you have NPM 2000, you have to buy NTA 2000. You can change the settings in NTA to collect flows from any…

It looks like it's not in the current release but is coming up, check out this post on upcoming features:

When you can't get to a machine that has snmp enabled and properly configured using the correct (case sensitive) community string, it's either a routing issue (usually ACL's), a firewall problem in the middle or the firewall is enabled on the monitored server. Wireshark rocks to see if packets are actually getting to the…

You can see if any of these OID's will help you: RTTMON-MIB Otherwise there is a post on thwack from another user with a similar question: UnDP IPSLA Poller

Sounds like the value that is being returned by SNMP is a 64 bit counter. Edit the node property and place a check mark next to the "Allow 64 bit counters" option. What type of a Node is this?

You will want to set up a custom property and alert suppression. Take a look at this PDF that explains Advanced Alerts: Understanding Advanced Alerts

Thanks for the screenshots! In the UnDP, under the Show Advanced Options, what are you using to get the data? Have you plugged in a sniffer to see what's getting sent and replied?

I'm not entirely certain why you don't write a script on the local server and then use windows task scheduler to call the script to restart the service. What are the actions you associated with this alert?

Not sure if this will work, but what about setting a Suppression condition that will suppress the alert if the node is in a 'Down' state? I will have to test this to see if it works, but as far as I know doesn't the check against the trigger condition still run even if the alert is tripped?
