From a product standpoint, then, does Solarwinds differentiate between hardware monitoring for routers, switches, etc. and server chassis? It sounds that way, but I'd like to hear it from your side.

Cardinal Fang! Fetch the COMFY CHAIR!

That's a possibility. If you perform nslookup for the new node's name on the NPM server, does it report the correct IP? How about if you do an nslookup for the IP?

While it is functional at retrieving metrics, the current results are not exactly aesthetically pleasing. If you're able to do what you need to do from the PS side on the poller, you're almost there. If any of my (or anyone else's) answers proved helpful to you, the common courtesy of this community is to mark replies as…

Why?

You're most welcome.

Well, outside of opening a case with support, it's straw-grasping time. 1. Location Are these servers in a location where other servers are successfully polled via agent? If not, what is the security policy of this location with regard to external firewall/ACLs? 2. Software Is there anything different about these servers?…

Okay. Have you uninstalled the agent from one of the problem servers and attempted to re-push installation from the poller or alternatively installed locally and configured from the client side? What have you done to troubleshoot beyond opening FW ports and changing the run-as?

I'll do that when I can. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ever noticed how many people in our field literally cannot say 'I don't know'? It's amazing.

For me, too - the Global Maps were most usable and attractive to non-core IT personnel/managers. My take has been that this functionality and expansion of same is not a priority for SW at this time. It's a shame, as Network Atlas in my mind is clunky, a separate tool to manipulate/administer, and just not up to par with…

Okay. Navigate to your Orion server's desktop. Open Advanced Alerts Manager. Click on 'Configure Alerts'. Choose the 'notify me if a node goes down' default alert. In the 'trigger actions' tab, is 'NetPerfMon Event Log - Node ${NodeName} is ${Status}' one of the configured actions? If not, add it. If it is, go back the…

Did you ever have any luck on this one?

Have you tried *.*.*.255? That will give you a breakdown of all subnet-specific broadcast addresses. Works for me, anyway.

Not a problem! We got to find out how it worked together, my friend....always a good time!

There are no supported workarounds for RDP into Windows 10 Home that I know of. It has little to do with your problem of WMI polling, though. Find out what's permitted between your poller and the device and take it from there.

Sorry - did mean eth0. As far as how you can troubleshoot this: I'd check the following: look at your firewall config again and compare with a known-good. what are your routes on the problem box? Any differences between known-good? Just a short start, but it's a weird problem.

Okay, that simplifies your life. Here's what I do when building SAM templates. 1. Make sure the node is imported into NPM already via WMI. That gets a plethora of basic network/compute/disk stuff, as I'm sure you know. 2. Isolate the application-specific metrics you want to monitor and measure. 3. If you want to just…

That's not the normal behavior. If we were getting alerted every time a vMotion happened with a VM reboot message, we would not enjoy that. I have to say at this point that the right call is to open a case with support. You can guess, and dig around, and try to find out why this is happening - or get support involved, look…

Attached is a quick scrape I did...data's being collected, etc.Looks normal. I've also figured out why the gauge and line graphs don't agree (and why the 3rd and 4th processors never seem to be used). This VM has only two vCPUs assigned to it. I'm not sure why it's reporting 4 vCPUs on the node summary page. My initial…

Since you're describing an error I've never seen, it's difficult to assist. I understand security restrictions, however. Good luck.

I can indeed list the process running via the wizard. I have also verified that the credentials I'm using have administrative rights on the nodes in question. The only piece that times out/fails is the RTPE. Weird!

Sorry - what I mean is this. We have multiple SQL instances. The instance name is indeed part of the command line switch for all of our instances. When I use RTPE I don't have an available column for command-line switches , but here's one from the box itself.

Actually, I see that I'll need to light up AppInsight for these nodes to invoke the app pool restart. Thanks again!

In the node page under the Management tab, can you run the 'Service Control Manager'? Should look like this: If so, does your service show up in the resultant list? If it does, you should see the option on the right to 'start monitoring this service'. Like this: That's how I set up quick service monitors on some oddball…

My mistake.

Excellent! Good luck.

you have to install net-snmp onto your computer and issue those commands from the computer to the switch. The switch will accept 'setmib' commands via the console if configured to allow SNMP changes via the console, but the document describes putting the settings in place from a PC.

I've noticed this still happens on Procurve firmware update scripts. Same symptoms, same outcome. I have a firmware upgrade script that succeeds, but the job always shows as failed in the NCM events. Is this simply some limitation of not being able to put new files (even temporarily) on Procurve flash filesystems?

Thank you - I should have searched first!
