Any chance of some more information. In particular: 1. What make/model of server 2. Exactly what do you want to know about the power supply I'm not sure Windows provides any info over SNMP on power supplies; but a manufacturer MIB may be of some use. Neil

If you go to the software NCM rather than the website and do Help > About Orion Network Configuration Manager... you should see a line that says "x devices in database" It will also show the version detail which will be along the lines of: Orion NCM v6.1 - DL200 The DLx is the licence and therefore the maximum number of…

I'm not sure what "Juniper free certification" you are referring to. The Juniper website indicates that all written exams are delivered only via PearsonVUE test centres. The only free certifications seem to be the occasonal offer of a voucher or as a way to tempt people with other qualifications (e.g. Cisco) to go for…

I'm going to work on the assumption that you want a report being emailed to you on a daily basis - your query is a little vague! Assuming you have already written the report (or you are using an existing built-in report) you first needt to open the report in your SolarWinds web interface and copy the URL from the address…

What's the OID for that? One thing to bear in mind is that the APC UPS devices don't, as far as I am aware, automatically update this field when you replace a battery - it is up to an administrator to do this. But to go back to your question, if you can get the OID returned as a date type, you would need to do a report…

As I understand it, the purpose of IP SLA is that it allows monitoring between 2 remote points. Usually SolarWinds sees thngs from the server/poller, whcih is fine in many cases. But anm your example, when someone makes a call from site 4 to site 5, you want to know what their conenctivity is like. You can't do that easily…

The Cisco MIB Browser (a very useful tool on their website) shows that OID as "deprecated", so it sounds like they've removed it from the IOS image somewhere between 12.2(37) and 12.2(52). You should now be looking at a table that's supplied by the generic MIB-2 OIDs. In particular, 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11 gives you the…

You probably want to be having a look at the TVD-MIB: http://www.oidview.com/mibs/3401/TVD-MIB.html 1.3.6.1.4.1.3401.12 Just tried it on my servers, but not getting many answers back, however. You may need to have a chat with McAfee support to see how to get answers from this. Edit: Looking a bit more closely, I think this…

I think that this is what the "Unmanage" facility/status is for. From what I understand you can do this manually or there is a scheduler if you want to do it based on time. Unfortunately, the Unmanage thing is not really well defined anywhere I can easily find in the documentation; but I have 2 unmanaged nodes which I…

Should be fairly straight-forward, but there's a couple of pre-requisites... The main thing is you need a way for SW to know that someone has logged into a router. This will probably depend on teh make and models of your devices, but there should be a way to get either a syslog message or an SNMP trap sent from the devices…

An extract from the product FAQ on the SolarWinds Website would suggest you are using a single licence as you only have one "source device", i.e. R3 (http://www.solarwinds.com/products/ip-sla-monitoring/faq.aspx): Q. How is Orion IP SLA Manager licensed? Orion IP SLA Manager is licensed by IP SLA source device. An IP SLA…

Hi Kiran, It is possible to have the syslog server discard messages that are not wanted. If you go into the Windows app and click on the yellow warning triangle icon it should bring up the "Syslog Server Settings" dialogue. It's then just a case of creating a rule that matches the events you want to discard with a "Alert…

What exactly is it you are wanting to monitor? SolarWinds have a paid product called "Storage Profiler", or a free product called "SAN Monitor". Not sure if either of these meet what you're looking for; and I've not yet used either of these products myself. Just got a new SAN at work though, so I may have a play!

Is this for any particular temperature sensor, or any? And I'm assuming that's 105 degrees Farenheit! Given the CPU tends to run pretty hot in general (my 2900 series routers seem to be at least 50degC) you may want want to narrow things down a little. Also, a lot of the older Cisco kit doesn't seem to report any…

Before SAM brought in health monitoring of servers I used to monitor our HP server health using UnDP on some of the health OIDs and then writing alerts that checked for things not being in the "OK" state. It was also possible to write reports based on the UnDP results. For now, this is probably your best way to monitor…

It's quite possible that the SNMP service is undergoing a restart when the syslog service is restarting. It's a common query as to why a device (especially Windows) gives a reboot alert when it doesn't actually reboot. The answer is that SolarWinds tends to monitor the uptime from within the RFC1213-MIB:mib-2 MIB…

Hopefully the following should work for you: Create a new "Historical - Interface Traffic" Report Select fields, including Historical Interface Traffic > Transmit+Receive Data Combined > Circuit Utilisation (Max of Recv,Xmit) and change the function to MAX Create a new simple filter on the above field and change the…

Should just need access to NPM. I have the SDK installed on my workstation (not that I'm using the SDK at present).

2 things to look at... 1. Did you run the NCM Integration program after you installed NCM? 2. Check the permissions on the c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files and c:\windows\temp folders. You may need to give full control the user the IIS server runs as and/or the user that the NCM service…

If your Information Service isn't working (as looks to be the case in your other error) it may stop other things from working. Fix IPAM Error 1 and you'll probably find this error goes away.

Normally it's just the FQDN of the server where you installed Orion followed by /Orion/ e.g. http://npm.example.net/Orion/

public is normally used as a Read Only SNMP credential. Also, using public is not wise - it is the first thing someone will try if they want to hack into your systems! If you do a 'sh run | inc snmp' on the routers, do the 'snmp-server community' lines end with 'RO' or 'RW'?

I don't use this software myself, so I'm only making an educated guess here... EventID.net throws up 3 sources for Event ID 12289. All of these are of type "Error". I see in your config that you have the "Event Type" set to "Information". Is "Error" an option on that dropdown? If so, can you try changing that setting and…

Assuming each VLAN "interface" has an IP address associated with it, and your switch supports it, this sounds like something that IP SLA would be suited to.

Is the agent the same version on both servers? It is possible that different versions of OpenView (or whatever it is called on Dell - been a while since I used their kit) may report the battery status in a differnt OID or a different way that SolarWinds doesn't handle. I've noticed similar sorts of things happenign with…

I think all the main Cisco ranges support IP SLA. Just one thing to bear in mind... What sort of tests do you want to run? Some basic tests (ICMP Echo, for instance) will work regardless of the remote device type. Some tests, however, require a Cisco device at the remote end with a certain responder agent running. There is…

Use decimal vaules; so in your case your bandwidth would be 0.768 I have this situation with a couple of VSAT links that run at 512kbps and they were automatically detected as 0.512

Joined in October 2010. I've slept many times since then; but I seem to recall we had an ancient version of Engineer's Toolset (v4 springs to mind!) and I was asked to look into updating it. Obvious place to do research was the SolarWinds website. Ended up suggesting (and the company agreeing) we switch to the Orion…

Have you added the index of the temperature probe to be... well, probed? Give 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.20.1.6.1 a try as the OID and see what happens.

Just going for the obvious first... You have assigned the poller to your printers and set a Web Display method within the UnDP software?
