Interesting information regarding 'pari'. According to cisco https://www.cisco.com/web/partners/tools/discovery_guest.html Pari Networks Assessment Tool Pari Networks Assessment Tool (PNAT) is a light weight software application that makes your network assessment job simpler. The software provides instant reports on: * All…

FYI, per your suggestion, this report was added as a default report in the 5.1 release. It should be listed as Cisco 3750 Stack - Physical Entity. Chris, that's right you mentioned it would be added in a later version! Sadly, not having a SQL 2005 server to support NPM and NCM I didn't upgrade.

The problem may be in dealing with Cisco's implementation of SNMP MIBS. Different chassis types have similiar information stored in different MIBS or MIB locations. This is probably due in large part to vendor acquisitions and not standardizing afterwards. PSI that is why the 3750 report will not properly report a chassis…

I also am in the midst of an annual Smartnet renewal, and having a report to validate all of the hardware would make this annual pain almost bearable. I find it difficult to believe that more Cisco shops are not "requiring" this from SolarWinds. Did you happen to see the report uploaded on Tue, Oct 21 2008 10:29 AM within…

My request was for: Is there a way to remove this default graphic for everyone else so that I stop getting "is that dmmm thing fixed yet? With the codicile that I can get it manually. I do this sort of QA testing in Orion with a specialized Menu bar. You can just remove the resource from the view. Go to Personalization in…

Thanks for posting. That helps. In addition to ensuring that all fields are editable, would you like it if the report was grouped by node name? For others viewing, is this what you are looking for as well? Opinion. For ease of use it would be helpful if the first sort is either ip address or node name ( It depends…

After 6 weeks with APM SP3 installed the same "unknown" has started to come up. Both Windows Services and Orion Service Manager has Job Scheduler started. Eventually the services stop with the following in the application log. EventType clr20r3, P1 solarwinds.schedulerservice.exe, P2 1.0.0.75, P3 4785ad81, P4 mscorlib, P5…

Something odd happened yesterday after I was installing a new Brocade switch. I was adding the switch through the 9.1 web interface and noticed that managed ports included FC01 and so on.... not just lo and eth. This worked on earlier FabricOS switches also. Tomorrow I'll add in port interface descriptions and see if…

I believe the polling is working as intended, not the application! Kind of a "good news, bad news" thing.

 The other NCM graphics are updating. This is hte only one not updating. Is there a way to remove this default graphic for everyone else so that I stop getting "is that dmmm thing fixed yet? With the codicile that I can get it manually. I do this sort of QA testing in Orion with a specialized Menu bar.

I've tested that report on my lab here, but I've only got 1 3750 stack. Can you send me a screen shot of the output of the report in your environment? Also, is this report acceptable or is there something else that you'd want incorporated into the OOTB version? Chris, Please see the attached graphic this somewhat…

Future support of Brocade is a wonderful thing. However, the typical SAN solution not only includes fiber-channel switches, but HBAs (Fiber or iSCSI) and Storage Arrays. Maybe the community could provide some insight as to where the best development time could be spent for SAN solutions. Remember every enterprise…

you could add in a suppression alert for your transmit alert, when the receive utilization is < 90%. the net effect would be alert when transmit is >= 90, but not until receive is also >= 90 -or- the other way around. I believe you would want the least likely + alert test to be first.

zizi, SW should not depend on if their clients have SQL programmers on staff. I highly recommend that if there is a SW decision to implement something globally on any / all future deployments there be an admin setting to enable, modify, or disable a feature. It may also be recommended that the feature be initially disabled…

 OK. Our bad (my bad, specifically, to be completely honest). We should have made it configurable. We will do so in an upcoming patch. Would it be possible to allow the weighing of nodes differently? It's a matter of perspective but not all nodes have the same importance: routers, switches, print servers, domain…

I've tested that report on my lab here, but I've only got 1 3750 stack. Can you send me a screen shot of the output of the report in your environment? Also, is this report acceptable or is there something else that you'd want incorporated into the OOTB version? I'll do this on Wednesday, and offer this report for…

Excellent news! There are a few documented ESX View issues, that you may want to be aware of ... Regards

This is the first request for this type of functionality I've seen. If there are others, please speak up. I have logged this as a feature request. Thanks for the feedback, NinjaNerd56. Our organization tried this several versions ago. We wanted to have a vox alert if a tagged critical server or infrastructure device was…

 Is there something specific you want to do that can't be done with the universal device poller? Denny, I really don't know what can be accomplished with the Universal Device Pollers. I am required to design and implement a wide variety of systems covering: Cisco (switches, routers, vpn, and firewalls), Windows servers…

We now have 7 nightly backups completed. The web graphic still displays "Sample".

Will do - Thursday, 10/23 I'll update this thread with the case number.

Also you need to verify that your account settings node details view is set to "By Device type"

 Yes. :) I fixed the issue of Solarwinds not showing it as VMware - one of our network admins "tweaked" the snmp.conf file. However, I still don't see the VM's and I confirmed that the view is set to ESX Server Details. Did I miss a step? That's good news. Question When you view your ESX Monitored server does your page…

I believe that the most flexible option would be to run a series of commands merging results into one config file. Engineers needing device configuration results have one place and file for review. Thank you for your time

How many elements as well as nested maps are contained in the map? In my instance only 1500 elements, within three levels when this occurred. It would be really interesting to understand what causes the failure to load from the map directory. Are there any permission restrictions on this folder? In my install, default IIS…

 Chris, Any update of getting this added to the Inventory report? Thanks, Jeff Jeff, Try saving the above text in a file in the ..\Configuration Management\Reports" directory with the .ConfigMgmtReport Extension. I used the file name "3750-PhysicalEntitiesClass3.ConfigMgmtReport"

 I am not in the office currently, I ran the report this am and it didn't match the number of cisco devices on my network Inventories and downloads occur on a nightly basis, so inventory is not the issue. what do you mean that it misses data for the master node itself? The example report generates the node name, and then…

James, My responsibilities covers, for 5000 desktops, all network infrastructure (routers, switches, firewalls, network load balancers, Cisco and non-cisco wireless controllers, and IOS based access points); 145 Microsoft and non - microsoft servers (AD and all of the other Microsoft applications, and associated…

I looked at the referenced url: and was initially hopeful, followed by disappointment. This application is not managed via the NPM web interface but by via server based application. Since, for my company, only the enterprise network engineers have console access to this server this implementation will not be able to be…

 As noted the Orion MIB db doesn't include support. Please see: http://thwack.com/forums/thread/48460.aspx
