Thank you both! Makes sense.

How are you polling these servers? Net-snmp should give you cpu, ram, etc. without a problem. Have you installed those packages? Once you have them configured, you'll get the vitals without a problem. 23.6. Monitoring Performance with Net-SNMP As far as services and alerts, start here: Re: Monitoring "Services" in Red Hat…

I have a question about your desired alert. So say you have a group of X number of interfaces in this group. What is the trigger for this desired alert? Are all of the interfaces in the group at some percentage or higher, or is some number of the interfaces above some number, or what?

Would this be a daily report, or are you aiming for different timeframes?

Read this: Physical Computer Memory and Virtual Memory - Data, Ram, Hard, and Page - JRank Articles It'll explain why the numbers are different.

I've never had that happen - strange. Out of curiosity, can you comment on the approximate latency these problem sites have to the download source?

Any possibility of name or IP conflict here that could be causing confusion? Multiple network adapters/IPs or the like? If you remove the problem server node, re-add/rediscover the ESX host, does the machine in question show up on a VMware-native poll/discovery?

Is the alert enabled in Advanced Alert Manager? Is 'smtp' the hostname of your mailserver? In the 'Time of Day' tab on 'Edit Email/Page Action' (see your image 'alert manager 5.bmp'), are there any limitations on that one? Are you privy to the logs on your mail server? Is there some difference in the list of recipients on…

* Other than troubleshooting, how do you make use of your flow data? Echoing WAN link utilization/identification strategies. I also use it for specific reporting like amount of videoconf traffic, SQL-specific stuff (like being able to show differences in instances, etc.) * How often do you look at flow data summaries, and…

If the node is ICMP only, then no credential. If you want to capture identifying information about the PC via WMI, you're going to need some credentials. Even if the PC isn't on a domain, you can use COMPUTERNAME\username (where 'username' is a valid defined user on the PC) as your credential and should have success as…

I'm interested in the Pingdom acquisition, and hope that perhaps data or other reporting from the service will be importable or visible to NPM, if for no other reason than easy dashboarding. Echoing other statements here - the ability to easily monitor the user experience from the Internet to our customer-facing apps is…

Already worked around this one, but have a new request where differing limitations on tabs would really be awesome right now....anyone?

If this happens for anyone else, check your SQL compatibility level! 110 or greater solves it.

Echoing mharvey here - setting up a separate server for NTA is a simple process. There's no complex configuration or other work to do regarding the FSDB....just install the appropriate module on the new server, configure NTA 4.0 on your main box to point at the server running the FSDB, and you're good to go. Our upgrade…

Perhaps you could enable SNMP on these standalone servers and set up communities, etc.

Not sure on this one, but do your working interfaces have 'ip route-cache flow' command on them?

Bump......?

It's not exactly the same, but it would be good to verify all necessary processes are running. See this KB: SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: When trying to add a site to a VoIP Monitor Additional Poller, the following error occurs: …

Has anyone figured a method for being able to do something like this? Can we somehow convert what we pull to a consumable numerical value?

Thank you - that is indeed the type of data we're looking for. It's too bad we can't get this - we're looking for a simple green/red indicator on a process state.

I am seeing something a bit unusual. On some Netflow charts, I'm seeing dummy titles in the chart view - placeholders like 'chart title'. Anyone else seen this?

Upgraded a couple of days ago, and so far nothing bad to report. I like seeing multiple IP addresses finally reported for multi-interface nodes, too!

Yep, we do it to several provider routers with read-only access. Pretty basic, actually - if you're polling from your HQ or main site, allow SNMP outgoing from your poller (with the appropriate NAT mapping if you're using private IPs inside) and you should be good to go. You may need to give your providers the public IP of…

It's like deja vu all over again.....and still - STILL - LEM GUI is unchanged. Lame. Adobe Security Advisory

Working well in Chrome.

IE10, Win764. a:a. I get demouser and populated password. I click login and churn commences. Apropos of nothing, I know it's 'demo-user'. But when I first scanned the username, I really thought you had built this demo environment with 'de-mouser' as the username. My initial reaction was "yeah, makes sense.....people who…

Are there additional interfaces on these boxes (eth1, perhaps)? Is it possible that different interfaces are used on different boxes? Are these virtual or physical servers?

Perhaps you could build a custom view/graph that filters OUT your servers?

Does anyone in this conversation know of a specific five-nines offering their business currently pays for? I don't really see it that much out in the wild.

Part of a server team here, and we make no such guarantees. We do provide very good uptime, but not 99.999. I seem to recall that the origin of the '5 9s' - or at least the first time I heard it - was around carriers and circuit delivery. The tier-1 carriers, with robust infrastructure and redundancy of their own, can…
