The Menus and Headers can be stripped out under the Account Management section. Hit settings at the top of the page, and then Account Management. Select the Account and hit Edit. Look for this section in the picture. You should be able to change the selection in the drop down to none. This will take off the Menu tabs and…

I can't give you specifics on WHD, but for WMI yes there are a few dependencies that will need to be met on your systems. First lets talk about the Packet traffic. WMI initiates communications on TCP port 135. Once the session is set up the queries/request from WMI are processed on the Dynamic High End port range that can…

PageGate should actually integrate into SW and use the Advanced Alert manager to send pages out using the option to Send Page/SMS via Notepage that should show up once in the alert manager once integrated. The Get Ascii module of the program should dip and read the alert log off the polling directory which is where you…

I'm curious about the SIP firewall not taking ICMP request. This sounds like it's just a feature, and you should be able to turn this on. I'm not to aware of many companies if any that will modify the TCP/IP stack just to pull out ICMP support. This is most likely a firewall feature that is on by default that should be…

I will be grabbing a MIB walk from our C7000 for you guys as well. I know there are a couple on here, but not sure if the MIB is different between GEN models, so I will attach a C7000 Gen1 and Gen8 MIB.

Let me correct myself a bit. The error we get is this. "Adobe Reader Plug-In not available to view this document." Any ideas?

It's a great set up and gets the job done very well. One thing to mention since you have 2 instances of NPM and SAM already. Have you thought about just implementing the EOC console. This will give you the single management pane you are looking for. This might be a better solution for you since the money has been spent…

One NPM and 1 Additional poller. I load ballance them by Production, Test, Dev environments. Also, remember that when they redisgned the pollers to be multi-threaded (one of the greatest things SW has done!!) you can now add WAY more weight to them than perviously in the past. My polling weights are 48% and 40%…

I would give you a word of caution if your sites aren't connected through MPLS. MPLS takes out the "what if" on Network Latency and what path you will travel each time as opposed to the open INET and whichever BGP route shows to be more viable at that time. I like to think of MPLS as a protocol that rides the boundaries of…

Here ya go. This should help. http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/SolarWindsPortRequirements.pdf Also, have your firewall guys do a log command on the ACL for the DMZ and he should see your traffic being denied and what ports they are hitting this can help get them opened up faster for you.

Drill into the Interface that you are trying to change and when you get to the Interface details page you will see an Edit Properties under the Management frame which will take you to the Properties page of the interface, and from there you will see a section for bandwidth where you can edit and define custom bandwidth for…

Custom HTML Resources are your best friend here. Use that resource in NPM and then find the page you are looking to view from SVM or STM and copy the URL and paste it in the Custom HTML resource! You now have that page on a Dashboard in NPM!! I imagine that is what this blog post covers possibly.

You can display pages from VZM and STM right now. Just create a sperate dashboard and use a Custom HTML resource. You can copy the URL of a page you would like to incorporate into NPM from VZM or STM and use it on that custom resource. This will now allow you to display pages from these modules on the NPM Web Console. I…

We have this issue with Net-SNMP all the time in our AIX and Linux environments. We use SAM and the Linux Memory Monitor Perl Script that comes with SAM, or you can find on the content exchange. I don't think you can get NPM to execute scripts and report statistics, so you might have to spin up an eval of SAM and show…

If you are alerting on a Group make sure the Volumes are a part of the Group. With the way the logic works if you have a Group and you add a Node to it, but want to alert on a Volume of that node the logic breaks. The alert wants to look in the group for the Volume, but all that would be in there are Nodes. Volumes belong…

From what I have seen NPM will pick up these by default and place them there once monitored. Unless this is un-true the only thing I can think of is the MIB changed with a newer version of code possibly. Maybe someone with a bit more experience with the MDS can chime in here, but like I said in the past I have always seen…

Just use the Unscheduling Management Utility on the Orion Server. You pick the nodes and applications you want and set a period of time you want to have them go into an unmanaged state. Once you build this and save the profile you use Windows task manager on the Orion server to run the task you just created. It will run a…

Interfaces can take your polling engine load up really quickly, so you do need to be careful. It sounds like you are starting to poll a Hub/Spoke network with T1 Serial Frame Relay links. I would first make sure I am monitoring the Serial links as these could be links to other branches, or customers that the router is…

I do, but not on the accounts that would be running the reports.. I double checked just to be sure, and there aren't any restrictions or limitations on the accounts.
