thanks for following up!

try putting an asterisks on each side. if that does not work, try using caption or interfaces.<column name> not like '*blah*'

no, that part is not a problem. The additional "screen" just shows up as "monitor" There are several HDMI over ethernet options out there for distance displays. Sounds like you'd want a matrix style switch that can give you the flexibility it sounds like you need.

I've gotten my rear handed to me on this...make sure your clock and the server time you are connecting to are within 5 minutes (I think) of eachother. error handling SUCKS on this one.

copy the alerts view, rename new accordingly. edit the filters to include only cisco gear. this would allow the page to automatically be refreshed and you could replace existing alert page in menu bar or create new entry on bar.

go to manage nodes -> search for your node -> expand by clicking "+" on left and check the interfaces/objects to be deleted.

I believe you can only do that from the viewer when you RDP into the box. I am talking about being able to do that from the web. might have missed something, but I don't think the web gives that flexibility right now...that is the request. thanks much!

try adding to bottom of SQL query: where n.department = 'MyDept' and n.vendor='Windows' I filtered all my unknown device types (mostly PING test points) and power units... where n.machinetype not in ('unknown','American Power Conversion Corp.')

correct, that will add the link for the app above the menu.

see if, from your orion machine, you can telnet (may have to add to server - windows feature - telnet client)... telnet <db server ip/name> 1433 did you install SQL with mixed mode authentication? I always use mixed mode for Orion and use a SQL user to connect Orion to the DB instance. you probably want to do this anyway,…

I've done this several times - for various reasons. The easiest and safest thing I've come up with is to shut NPM down, copy the DB to a different name (or same name if different machine), then bring it up on the new server. I've found I must do it with nothing connected to the NetPerfMon DB while attempting. This allows…

Also, since it can be a pain to wait for testing here is a way to inject a log into event log via powershell...just change logname/source... most common logname is "application" for the "windows"=>"application" logs in event viewer. Injecting windows events into eventlog #EventLog work:get-eventlog…

yep, great...thx

for NCM, just the one AT THIS LINK, download RH_NCM_connection_status.zip - otherwise check content page. I have some cool stuff to get the IP/Mask into NPM so displays on web maps, etc...

with the basic alerts, I set a bandwidth threshhold of 50% util. and wanted to get emailed on it. I did not want to monitor all interfaces, just the "customer" WAN interfaces. I was saying it would be nice to be able to use a regular expression or some method to select those in groups rather than having to check/uncheck. I…

Yes I am. The links I use are directly to the maps. I noticed if I make the maps into views and reference the views, I had much better luck for some reason. I did this for refresh issues, but it might help until support gets back with you.

Nice, thanks for tidbit!

Gotcha...I don't know the answer to that. hopefully someone else has done this successfully and can post.

ok. so that did it for the help files, but polling is still an issue. I have set the poller intervals to the recommended settings on each engine. thoughts?

strange. another interim option would be to put it into a report and put the report "resource" on the page; see if it works that way. I do that for nodes that are unmanaged with to/from dates. The error indicates there might be a problem with the information service. make sure all variations of those are running. I'd open…

:) if cisco, the easiest way would be: sh run | exclude <snmp string> to exclude lines that have the string in it. there might be a service command that does that??

Submitted Feature Request for "NOT CONTAINS" if interested: FR - NPM GROUP DYNAMIC QUERY - CREATE OR ALLOW "NOT CONTAINS"

is there a way to set up to auto add new Virtual Servers when it discovers them?

ah, yes..this is in lab env, but I see your point

daggum, didn't look at NCM web interface...sorry

seconded. I need to export/import rules/policies from one implementation to another.

very cool! I'm going to light this up...we have complaints about slow web response times.

pretty much sums it up. Also, the ',' is valid if you have to skip numbers..i.e. 10.10.[1,3][2-5].* would give you the supernet 10.10.12-15.x or 10.10.12.0/22 AND 10.10.32-35.x (10.10.32.0/22). Nice job finding it out!

it requires you to edit DB (websites) table. for main engine, change <servername> to <FQDN>. I believe there is a KB on this.

it will really depend on the size of your implementation as to whether you'd want to run SQL separately. it is recommended, but if small implementation, don't have to. the SQL Express allows up to 10G DB. Again, if your implementation is small, this will probably not be an issue for you and you can continue to run the free…
