  • However, You maybe able to get more information with a report I cludged together a while ago <Report Version="2.0" ReportType="" Schema="D:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Configuration\Schemas\Node_Details.Schema" Category="Inventory" Title="Physical Entities with Class 3 only - REC modification" SubTitle=""…
  • Just adding in another user interested in a centeralized solution for vpn monitoring. And a bump for interest sake
  • I don't have an answer for your issue. When version 9.1 was released with ESX monitoring I complained that the adminstrators need to be able to define which ESX servers were to be monitored. I documented that not all configured devices should be monitored. ESX admins commonly have many templates, workstations, development,…
  • Will NCM be able to support user groups? This question was previously asked and we were told "this is on our roadmap for our next major version release" I still can not deploy NCM to local "field" engineers because there is no capability to limit device views to specific groups of AD authenticated users. Thanks
  • With Specific Maps you may be able to provide the granularity desired. To deliver the specific view you wish to deliver to your end-user, configure the account settings Even deliver custom menus, tabs, report, etc. One point to remember with new updates may come new tabs (Example: Wireless and Virtualization). These are…
  • This may not be what you are interested in since I have not found a direct method. Potential Solution: Copy and rename (I used "Cisco SN Query") the existing physical entities report. Then, add in appropriate filters for "vendor" or "machine type" parsing down the information you need to review. This will provide you an…
  • I looked through the forum for other users requesting this. Almost exacty 3 years ago we were to "get that in on one of the upcoming releases"
  • Look to see if there are any recursive routes utilizing a trace route. Also, see if any VLans or routers are utilizing a HSPR, GLBP, or VRRP process. What may be happening is that may be diverse routes; some faster, some slower from your downstream locations.
  •  Ok, could you open a ticket. We'll need to try to reproduce and get this fixed. As promised, decided to do this while watching the World Series. Case 64812 SolarWinds Diagnostic File uploaded to leapfile.
  • As above confirm SNMP. Also confirm that the SNMP service [Security] is configured with the anticipated SNMP string and that the hosts are set to all or the specific addresses for your servers. Check Windows or AV Firewall. Aside Notes: * Some of the SNMP settings (community strings) can be set via GPO. * If you change…
  • My Orion environment is not on vm; however after upgrading from version 8.5.0 to 8.5.1 SP3, "everything" seems to be taxed. Did you upgrade with the P2V?
  • The fix was to reload all of the Cisco LWAP controllers. This is the first time we needed to reload a controller device because of a NMS. Not happy with this solution SW.
  • Don't know if the following will help. Each device in NCM is assigned a template file with controls the commands sent to your device. These are located in \Program Files\SolarWinds\Configuration\DeviceTypes The last HP Switch template file I see on my server is for a "HP Procurve 420" So I would check to make certain the…
  • While in map maker you may elect to drag your interfaces onto your map and represent your: switch to server, switch to switch, and switch to router, connections. The interfaces typically default to diamonds, this is editable. The interface icon will turn the correct color when a issue is found. You may elect to connect…
  • The server and web versions of ncm support different functionality. This is the web front end which allows one grouping. As in my orgainzations case we use an additional field we added called Property, which is not included in the base product. It is not as much as I would have liked to implement but sufficient for our…
  • If I may add a portion to the wishlist. * Add the ability to add a search for client connections (ip address would be nice) * for Controller discovery of rogue connections, display the name of the AP receiving the rouge broadcast. If you have 50 - 100 AP(s) on a controller having the AP name helps in determining where the…
  • May I ask which UPS family you are using? It would be helpful is SolarWinds would have a handy-dandy monitoring thwack forum for the more popular device types. Server hardware (Dell, HP, IBM); UPS (Liebert, APC...); Switches (Cisco, DELL, Extreme, Juniper, ...) and so on so that we can document how to set montoring up…
  • Some of my organizations cisco devices do not support a real temperature to be monitored, some do. So I've have developed OID group based for specific Cisco implementations (Example: Cisco4500Chassis, Cisco3750Stack, Cisco3750XStack, Cisco3650Chassis) Are you certain that the device that is responding in this fashion will…
  • It may not be available yet... It's been in the pipeline for awhile.
  • Several times across version 8.1.x and 8.5.x I've seen the MAP section of the web (main page) display 1 instead of the actual map. Has anyone else run into this? When it happens, I've tried bouncing the web service, all of the Orion services to no avail. I have to reboot the box and that fixes it. Any thoughts/comments?…
  • I was able to find the following status OIDs: DiskArrayState 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.130.4.1.4 GlobalSystemStatus 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.110.13 controllerRolUpStatus 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.130.1.1.37 Has anyone found how to report a status on * Fan Arrays: * Memory Arrays * Power Supplies * Processor Arrays *…
  • This request has been around for awhile. Hope you have good luck
  • With those differences we have several devices of each family that are used for standby or for pre-deployment. Some are managed; some not. Having the option for defining what devices are considered for analyis and reporting would depict a more accurate picture of our network.
  • bump is everyone happy with the workflow?
  •  This may be a help
  • I having trouble keeing track of installed verisions of solarwinds products. NCM does not display verion information on the Help About or the web inteface. The only information supplied is version 8.03.0127. This situation was fixed with NMP. Orion's website reports the installed version; however, the integrated APM does…
  • I commonly have this issue with replacements and upgrades. What I found is that I need to delete the name and run an snmp request. The SNMP get will update the name. There may be another method for automation with 1000 devices. Good Luck with the upgrade
  • If what you have are only 4 drives, you are in a pickle. Current recommeded best practices are a RAID 1, 5, 6, or 10 for OS and Programs. You need to protect your OS partition as well as your data partitions. No OS, no access to your data. MS SQL recommended versus best practices. MS Recommendation. Separate RAID drives…
  • We also had the same problem last week requiring a Truncate Table. If table TrapVarBinds is a constant issue for the database, would it be reasonable that a optional process to clear the table be offered within database maintenance. Regards
