This isnt even brain surgery. It is called good IT. Passwords Bad.

PLEASE PLEASE PELASE PLEASE. WE have turned off all password auth - which means no NCM functionality. do it. Do THIS! Be smart. Be trendy. Show everyone you're future driven! Passwords are sooo 2005.

"Status change to open for voting? " Listen. Seriously. All y'all. If your current idea is to continue to use password you are beggin' and I mean beggin' for something evil to com forth. Key and cert based auth are 2015. Passwords are 1995. and here it is 2020. And solarwinds is still 1995 and asking you, the very smart…

yes yes yes. The support for non-Cisco, well, even modern cisco, is getting weak. Atlas has always had great potential but always seemed like a skunkworks project at SW central.

nudge nudge. Your UpVote would be greatly appreciated.

Nudge nudge. Dont fear change. Embrace it. I fell that if you dont want this feature, you havent poked at it. Scalability is the name of the game.

go on. im listening.

My 2.5 cents on Stack monitoring. (sense you are working on it for next release of NPM) 1. Stack member - i.e. stack member 2 has left the stack alerts 2. individual stack member asset info on NPM's "Node Details" Including model, MAC, Serial Number, Stack priority, master etc 3. Throw in power supply status (on dual…

Really honestly, with Solarwinds' neglect of the changes in the networking industry (not unlike Cisco at this point) their ability to do the job is going to decline. App and cloud and the likes will probably survive but they can't even monitor modern switches very well anymore (heaven forbid try to monitor optic levels on…

BUMP

is it me. Or is googling thwack and then finding links all broken.. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/community/network-management/high-availability/content

done. Though Solarwinds has drifted away from network and into server and app stuff - no real innovation in years

"Passwordless keys (for SSH) is the way to go." THAT is so true. Too bad we cant get Solarwinds developers to make NCM connections for configs and inventories password-less! Please nag the NCM Product Manager. (he's a good guy and can take it and is well aware of my nagging about this.)

SOOO true

nudge nudge nudge

QSFP28+ optical power levels and Solarwinds inability to monitor them. Oh and Juniper ex stacks much like Cisco 37 stacks. That would be nice

I assign every done a custom property field I call "PriorityClass" indicating its role in my network, core, distribution, useredge, border etc etc. Then as alerts are processed this field's value is used to determine what should happen during an event. The higher the priorityclass the more things that happen (paging,…

still need feedback?

BTW, folks, if you are reading this and NOT upvoting it you are missing some pretty big security holes in your world. Please upvote. The Product manager said he'd talk to me about this, but hasnt yet. that was three months ago.

without reading every thing and every comment.... I found out the migration was occuring while looking for a "Thwack Community Poiller" . which is now empty. @"danielleh" , @"yumdarling" et al

what it doesn't say is how to see if there are ramifications from Solarwinds' failure. SW needs to come up with "you need to look at this, and this, and this, and this" to see if there were exploits. This (not me specifically) national security level and SW is wayyyy too quiet. (publically. at corporate I'm sure there a…

SO. What does HF1 do? Just replace the bussineslayer.dll? There is pretty much no way my team is going to allow SolarWinds back on the network without some REALLY detailed explanation.

Oh, the fricken irony. Sure, AV may not have detected anything. But maybe it may have (on this or some other.) I'm pretty sure if I were to say, "I'm not going to scan these Solarwinds directories," I'd be shown the door.

it scares me that this isnt resonating.

Ive gotten most of this complete. Your going to have to tighten up "snmpwalks" a bit. Those are (particularly on the QFX) absolutely massive.

Well overnight is longer than 120 minutes and the results are unchanged. Interested in other ideas? I'm going to delete and re-add a node to see if it changes. But this is a bad bad bad bad idea in an environment with thousands of switches. You don’t want to hear the nicknames the team has come to call Solarwinds by....

I shall give it all of 30 minutes as I am calling it a day. (

HF2 installed (May I add using the web deploy is really very fantastic. Tell that PM), and the news is - It still doesn’t work. TO summarize: 1- two network nodes conntected to each other physically 2 - both interfaces are being polled in "List resources" successfully. 3 - both have layer 2 and layer 3 (AND I tried even…

all cisco! Lucky you. You should try having a CIsco and Juniper environment. SolarWinds has given very little work into the juniper products. I am actively installing HF2. Ill report back good/bad/ugly.
