Have you been able to fix it? I'm experiencing the same issue on my end.

Per this link https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/LA/Content/LA/LA-Syslog-Trap-Parity.htm , sending an email as a trap action should be available. Which version are you running?

I'm not the same having this issue... please vote for those two feature requests: * http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/3534 * http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/2146

Hard drives status are not available via WMI integration (https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Difference-in-Hardware-Health-by-manufacturer-and-polling-method-for-servers?language=en_US). As a workaround, you could configure your iDRAC (and I believe OMSA as well...) to write OS system events in Windows…

It would be better if the check, and download from the web interface be done at the user level (client) instead of directly on the Orion server (or be given the choice). Like a lot of other Thwacksters here, all my Solarwinds servers are in private networks, isolated from Internet. Admins are accessing thru corporate…

The app_offline.htm should be a straight forward page. Unless you are changing the server URL, there is no code that should change. You just have to place it in the C:\inetpub\SolarWinds\ when needed, and take it off (or rename it) when done...

If you want a better looking Maintenance page, you can edit c:\inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\OrionMinReqs.master, remove all javascript code, rename it App_offline.htm and edit the page so it displays the message that you are looking for. This page will then have your logo and follow the CSS of your site

If you send me the file I can try to modify it. Mine is already modified and has a custom logo and everything. That would take me longer to fix it...

Will that work on CS1000 systems?

Have you tried on a 1700 with the latest (or at least recent) ios?

It worked on Cisco as this is polled directly in Solarwinds. That being said, I found here on thwack () the receipe to poll Juniper SN. You will have to create a UnDP to populate the data, and then, create a report based on that information. Since I don't have any Juniper gear anymore, I can't really do that and test it…

jhynds​, regarding your comment about LM being priced separately you mention the following: "I hope that gives you some comfort that we're committed to including syslog and trap functionality within NPM." but from what I read, is that if we are going forward with upgrades without LM, I'll be stucked with a product that…

We use Solarwinds to aggregate traps & syslogs (Mostly traps) from private production sub networks. We filter some traps (Mostly the informational traps) and forward the remaining to our National NOC. The source IP of the trap identiify the network it came from to ensure proper treatment at the NOC. Also, we use forwarding…

Without at least the trap & syslogs forwarding, we cannot install this module. We have complex forwarding rules per additional poller that are critical to our organization. That being said, as an upgrade to something already in NPM, I dont understand why it's priced separately, and how to build a business case to buy a…

Don't forget to backup your database prior playing into it

Thanks a lot c.gura​

It works for all my APE & AWS, but my primary server throws this error at me: ... and the troubleshooting steps article URL is not working...

cobrien​, now that 12.0.1 is out and making us happy, can we have this list refreshed? There's stuff that can be checked off the list

A Q-in-Q setup could be used as a cheap way to extend your LAN and is supported by all major players IEEE 802.1ad - Wikipedia

Cannot agree more. Solarwinds is not complete without proper trap & syslog management. Telcos have to rely on different systems to complement it

cobrien​: Any chance of adding in your Unmanage behavior improvements? Pretty please!

You can download a SQL express version from Microsoft website and configure it for your needs until you migrate to your full blown SQL server(s).

Can't wait to hear more about: * Faster and web based simplified product upgrades and installation of hot fixes * Integrated High Availability Engine Hopefully, for the first item, a sanity check will be in place in order that all pollers or aditional web servers are running the same binaries and same hotfixes...

What's next?

My pleasure! Glad it helped

Is there a newer version of this document? It is dated from 2008 and still talks about Cirrus... Would be great to get better examples from an updated document, using the same information that we find in NPM 10.4...

Since the upgrade to 10.7, all accents typed in are saved differently than prior the upgrade. It seems the UTF-8 Format is not respected The "é" represents an "é" that was typed in. French words and address contains a few accents that we have to preserve. Am I the only one having this issue?

Can't wait for the next "What we're working on"

For the sysadmins that do not like to code (me), here's another option: https://www.edge-cloud.net/2013/05/rancidtrac-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/

If you can provide your Sharepoint site with access to your SolarWinds SQL database, you could extract that information straight from the SolarWinds tables via a SQL query and display that in a Sharepoint webpart . (ie: Display business data on a SharePoint site)
