Solarwinds has a convoluted mechanism for accepting MIBs from customers. We've been told to send to developer@solarwinds.com, which bounces. Their own website FAQ states (as of 4/10/2010) to email them to support@solarwinds.com, which auto-responds telling you to use the support web form, with a handy link to it. The web…

We battled this (on a bunch of services). Basically, we found that if it is a WMI based poller, you need to have WMI running, RPC running, AND RPC Locator running. Otherwise, you'll end up with unknown statuses.

Richard, I'm assuming a "get" because this is just in the "Browse MIBs" area when building a poller, and then clicking "Test" (see picture in original post). There is no where to specify a get vs. a getnext at this stage. That said, I further explored just not testing at this stage and building the UnD poller, and it tests…

We have the same problem with the Performance Counters not functioning properly. I've tracked it down to the fact that the performance coutners these component monitors are looking at, don't exist. In fact, we don't see any Windows Performance Counters on our Blackberry Enterprise Server, running the latest version. No…

@nalbi You will also have to add a resource to your Node Details View (or whatever view you have assigned to your APC devices). Click the "Customize View" button in the top-right when viewing an APC device, then click the Plus sign to add a Resource to whichever column you want. To get started, just add a "Universal Device…

Zip file appears corrupted, would not unpack for me.

From reading this, the scheduling feature in Splunk isn't relied upon. He's running these scripts on a Unix host and using cron to do the scheduling. If you were going to run them on Windows you can probably schedule the task. However, you can also still download older versions of Splunk on this page:…

We too just signed a contract with ServiceNow and this is on our short list. I know that some companies have done Orchestrations in order to link Configuration Items (CIs) between Orion and ServiceNow. If the CIs themselves exist in both platforms, then you can build Alerts off of the traps in Orion, emailed into…

I believe an Alert Trigger, is an Alert Trigger. If it is Triggered, it will not Trigger another Alert of the same type. So if you set an Alert to Trigger immediately, it will Trigger and perform the Trigger action (sending an email). UNLESS you set that Action to repeat, that will be the only notification you get get on…

We just setup our 2 Avamar Control Nodes via SNMP. We did this through the GUI management application under Windows and have successfully gotten SNMP Traps (and Syslog messages) to post to the NPM. The EMC Avamar OID appears to be: enterprises.15597.1.1.X I'm currently playing around in the UnDP to see what interesting…
