Well... you can use all three related commands which Tesler invented... The puzzle answer looks for the short and sweet answer though.

Implemented: thwack.solarwinds.com/.../npm-2020-2-deep-dive-mibs-database-management

Probably what is@twlakes.coop is looking for is a way to do that from the web interface? if that is the idea behind the feature request, (s)he has my vote!

I feel you! Untill SolarWinds comes up with a more elegant solution, I built a script to distribute and install MIB database on all my Orion servers: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/forum/92835/mib-database-distributor-and-checker

This is a real issue for us... Our corporate PCs have a different Domain than the production network we maintain... Just cannot use the AD integration without logging in another machine first...

I hope they will fix their SNMPv3 Trap processing as well!

Going to the node details page and clicking on "rediscover" , then "poll now" , wait up to a minute and the new data should be filled in...

One of the main reason for the Growl choice is that it is available on PC & Macs, and many mobile device platform...

NPM could gather the information received by the switches. The AP itself, via CLI knows where it's connected, if you configured SSH access. (An SSH go-to icon on the NPM Thin Client detail page would be a great plus also, as the one present on the page refer to the controller, not the AP itself.) Now... I understand that…

This is a must for a MSP. Paessler's PRTG in gaining a lot of market in big IT firms needing to monitor multiple smaller external sites that are not directly in their main network...

It would be nice to have those custom properties be set in the Network Discovery job setup. I have a job per remote site, and would like to have the Engineering number of that site added to the node. Currently, I have to go and edit each and every node once discovered.

We're also excited for what the store has for us ;)

I would like something in between. I like to see what others are requesting, but also would appreciate feedback and confirmation from SW people.

Don't forget to update the map if you add or change a device at a location! 

Ideally, scale should be adjustable, a bit like gauges are. (minimum value, maximum value). Also, it would be nice to have warning and error thresholds, where that zone of the chart would have a specific color (like yellow and red) background.

I totally agree with you JustinY, this would be awesome. I would add battery lifetime management. Some ups will provide the last time the battery was changed so we can plan batteries replacement. I would also make sure this nice feature would be adapted for PDUs.

Pretty please, give some love to the Network Discovery!!!

It would be a plus to have the option to preload or load on collapse, especially for graphs/charts. I have a page with about 45 custom charts, and it takes 30-40 seconds to load. We use that only for special events or investigating, and no more than 3 graphs at a time... a collapse option would be more than welcome!

In the meantime, this could be a use case for the alert engine. Let's say you have a custom property in each node with the group name or id. You could create an alert that would act upon node membership. Not ideal, but doable!

Nope. As you mentioned, the client currently needs an internet connection to visualize the maps. This is exactly why we have issues with that as most of our stations are in a closed network

Got it wrong too... I was using the long version (all 3 functions), not the usual term...

SWUGs bookings should based on who's in town ;) What about a just before Labour day weekend in George, WA? I'd pay from my own pocket to go. ;)

Here's a workaround: MOD/HACK - NPM 12 Notification on Paused Alert Actions

This should also be available in Service Manager. Pausing alerts as an option before shutting down services to prevent thousands of triggered alerts..

So many things needed... at least we're on the good track

Cant wait for this to happen!

Love it! The efficiency-and-save-our-ass bounty will be part of my next discussion with management

In the subnet selection, If I enter an IP with a 255.255.255.255 subnet mask, it will return an error during discovery (but will not be stated when I click next on that page). When I contacted support, I was told I could not do that, as it is not a subnet, which is kinda wrong. Because of that we have to make 2 discovery…

DanielleH​ : Could you change this FR status as "implemented"?
