I just stumbled across this and had the same problem a few years ago but this with SNMPv2. I did notice that SNMPv3 offers you a SNMPv3 Context so it maybe doing the same idea. Each VRF has to be monitored individually. I’m not sure whether this is simply a Cisco limitation, a security requirement, or something else, but…

We got both FirePower and Palo Altos. Just got NPM the other day. Tomorrow we will be replacing our ASAs with FirePower 4110s so I will be loosing all the nice ASA features I just got!

Any progress on this or breakthrough ideas for version 2023? 

Netpath and Linux is a must. Using surplus small factor PCs with low horsepower or even cheap Raspberry Pis will be great to drop off in network closets far away for probing and tracing out the network. 

SolarWinds is going to have a hard time integration into the FirePower system. Even if they where able to, more than likely they are fearful to release a product that the next Cisco update is going to break. The FirePower is a very clunky system. Also there are many different version and setups depending on what series you…

Thank you! I was able to setup some of these settings before being beaten up by a Hurricane and then our Demo running out. Sorry for not responding sooner with an update since my attention was elsewhere and in many other places, ha!

Thank you so much! That was my problem, I was created it in the Global, not the SysLog it self. 

Good news! I have finally got a minute, well an hour to work with the SysOps team who manages the DC HVACs and it works! Thank you very much! I do have one question, "Datetime>Addminute(-10,GETUTCDATE())" is the history when it maintains the previous value? In this case it remembers the previous value for 10 minutes being…

Once again, thank you for the shove in the right direction. I will report back soon once a get a minute to process more and test out what you sent me. 

That is it! Cnorborg solved it! Numerical NodeID in the URL is N:1720 Instead of "[b].NodeID = '${NodeID}'", use "[b].NodeID = '1720'" Here is the final product if someone wants to R&D anything (Rip-off and Duplicate) Alert - DC UPS Output Source ${SQL:SELECT [c].Status FROM [dbo].[CustomPollers] AS…

Thank you StuartD! I am breaking this down in my head and maybe over thinking this since I am not much of a SQL Guru and but really good at reserve engineering. Over thinking seems to keep me in perpetual trouble, ha! In the Alert, since a Node is not set as a condition, this will alert on any Node this CustomPollername is…

Thank you Mesverrum for the fast reply. SQL was what people where pointing to on the other replies on similar questions. 

Thank you for the reply. I am trying to get some more details from support to get a better understanding on what is the cause and what they are looking for. I agree after reading the other replies and what I experienced is that it is a common polling stability. 

How is your stability since adding jobExecutionCount to the SWJobEngineSvc2.exe.config? Our deployment has been stable a week after making the change. So far it was random when the SNMP polling would stop. 

This is what support also recommended we do to the SWJobEngineSvc2.exe.config file. I made this yesterday. Now it is just a waiting and see. 

Done! I let support know. 

We are having similar problems. I got a support case open. So far we made it past the basic questions and now waiting on a response. Reading the case notes for SolarWinds Platform 2023.2.1, there is mention of a fix called "Alerting issues that occurred after the upgrade to 2023.2 were addressed." This is vague since if…

Oh wow, I figured it out right after posting this question. I turned on Basic Authentication on the Server and used an AD service account, and now TLS Encryption is working. I have no explanation why it works now, but at this point it is one of those set and forget settings. Well THWACK was work. Either a person will…

I opened a support case about this. It is going to have to be a feature request. The tech submitted the request for me. Work around will be to make sure the Widget is labeled and if the user finds something interesting to look at, they can open it through Prefstack and find interface details, etc.

Was this issue ever addressed and fixed? We are currently on Orion 2020.2.6 HF3, NPM HF3 with the same issue. I checked the release notes for the newer HF and no mention of fixing this. 

Yaquaholic, I never messed with Ansible but I been hearing more and more about it on the network automation part. It may be time to start looking into that direction. I will start looking in that direction. Currently I just have a job that runs and sends the results out every hour so we just glace at the email. BTW, the…

Hi Yaquaholic! Thank for the idea of just polling each CPU. I did some Google Foo and Cisco seems only to give total CPU usage rather than individual CPUs. Source: https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/How-Orion-counts-multiple-CPUs-from-a-node-and-how-it-collects-CPU-load-data?language=en_US I did an SNMP…

It’s been over a year since I posted this and wanted to do a follow up of what I found out. It did not solve my problem 100%, but it will help others banging their head on this issue if they are using a mix of vendors and getting an understanding of how SolarWinds NetPath gets its data for the devices in the Path. I also…

We use a local free bee Linux SMTP server to work as a local relay for our dumb devices like copiers, printers, cameras, etc. that does not support the advance authentication. We had to modify our external DNS SPF records to reflect that mail relay so it will not get hung up or blocked in the spam filter for gmail and…

Sorry guys for not getting back with you sooner. Been a crazy month so now I can loop back to the alerts and more. You do have a point about a lot of the items above. Is there a way to group the alerts into a summery? Say if a bunch of devices went off line, then wait 2 minutes to group the them into a single e-mail.

OK. Figured it out. I got a private messages from a member who suggested these two ideas (I would give credit but since it was a PM, I am assuming he wants to remain anonymous): SubString or Regex would seem to be options:…

So here is my work around for our Cisco 2960x Stacks. We do not use the Firmware Upgrade through Orion due to the lack of Stack Support. I created a script and just ran that during the day, to stage for the upgrade to run as a job at night/early morning. This only spikes the CPU by less than 10% so it is not service…

Thanks guys for the input. The problem is that we have 220 HP switches on campus and most are running the original out of box OSes. Mainly from 2007-ish to 2012-ish range. (I kind of inherited this problem) I also discovered that both Cisco and HP does not have the feature of encrypt their SNMP Community Strings. I could…
