That was helpful, mesverrum; thank you. I didn't pay attention to that particular option when adding nodes to NPM, and there it is: I assumed it would be simple to select all nodes participating in UDT and check the box above. Then I second thought it; I'll have to test. It looks like the box indicates checking it means…

I agree with Craig's response, and I'll add that occasionally I've been burned by copying passwords from documents and pasting them into NCM and NPM. Sometimes the copy catches an invisible trailing space after the password or snmp credential, resulting in NPM using credentials that won't work. My best results have come…

Please elaborate on this, James. What examples of interface filters can you provide that will help me understand this?

Thank you, prawij I've been in there, configured the task, scheduled it, and then cannot find it in the list of existing tasks. Quite the frustrating experience. I recreated it, built it for the dates/times/durations I need, applied it, and promptly lost it. I'm going to wait until the time when it should be running to…

Josh, I've reviewed my e-mail history and discovered I was mistaken about IPAM and SQL version. It's the new NTA beta that requires MSSQL 2016, not IPAM. I think you should be good to go with the SQL versions listed in the IPAM installer guide: IP Address Manager 4.6 system requirements - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help…

Perfect. That's what I'd already found, and I'm testing it now. Thanks for confirming.

What? I have to RTFM? Impossible! ;^) Or, as my wife says: "If it isn't intuitive, the application isn't well-written." Ha!

Ah, I remember reading about that long ago. Good memory!

I had similar experiences once I reached 10,000 elements per poller with NPM two versions back. Ended up having to poll less frequently, which helped performance, but degraded statistics. In one version back I started seeing NPM auto-adjusting polling to complete 100% each cycle on its own--a handy feature, but unexpected.…

I like that idea, Tony. Should that query work when pasted into SDK? I tried it and came up with an error:
-
You're right---it comes with newer versions. Update to the current version and you'll have it (assuming you have administrative rights to see and access and use it).

Nicely done. And VERY quickly, too! Thank you, jrouviere!

uniswtc, I don't know which version introduced the Maintenance Mode feature, which includes scheduling options, but I'm running NPM 12.5 and it's possible to unmanage devices from there. Instead of using NPM to manage our 3000+ AP's, I use Cisco Wireless Controllers (WLC's) and Prime. NPM knows the status of our WLAN by…

I've also noticed that the configuration files of nodes which have been renamed end up lasting much longer in the archives--perhaps indefinitely.

Wow--what fast service, CourtesyIT! I hadn't expected my need to be resolved by a STIG item, but it makes perfect sense that it would be. I recognize the pattern lines where I'd edit the information to include my switch port configuration criteria--that seems no problem. A remediation script is not desired, since we wish…
-
It's all I've found. Agreed, I miss the original Print To PDF button. Maybe open a new service ticket, or submit yet another feature request for that old functionality to be returned. Or maybe just identify the shortcoming you mentioned and ask for a work around?
-
If you need more frequent information than the polling/reporting above offers, consider some one-off polling that might use something different, like the Engineer's Toolset's Bandwidth Gauge solution, which you could point at a few high-importance routers and set for something like polling them every eight seconds. For…

I must've zoomed right past that scanning check box when I changed scanning from 4 hours to 4 days. Some days . . . Thanks!

Remember to allow the outbound ICMP through your firewall. Check is QoE is an option, or if a Web or App Manager solution might also be useful?

Is ITIL still "a thing?" My organization went down that path years ago, but I haven't heard anything recent internally about ITIL in our business. Nothing in at least the last two years. I figured it was another passing fad that management would spend money on, people would spend hours learning, and then something new…

My respects to you for your solutions. Do you find them practical? My impressions of Pi implementations are of hobbiest-level projects that, if they were required and not simply cute-but-not-particularly-functional, they'd run on commercial-grade platforms. Don't get me wrong--I'm not belittling Pi's & their aficionados;…

THIS! ^

You've correctly identified my problem and provided the right answer. I was incorrectly trying to create a New Service pointing at a destination IP address and port that existed in another Service. I should have done it your way by using the "Assign a probe" option on an existing Service to add a different NetPath polling…

I haven't tried Patch Manager yet, but from your comments it appears to have a chronic / extended issue. Is it something you can solve with NCM and remediation through compliance reports, or with scheduled scripting?
-
Thanks for your input!

30 miles shouldn't have produced appreciable latency, IMHO. I'd expect <5 ms delay for that distance, based on my sites that are that far away. It makes me wonder what the latency restrictions for the vendor's application or hardware might be, and what latency you were experiencing across that distance. But I'm using…

It sounds like you've probably covered the easy bases. But you should verify the items below and ensure they're accessible and/or validated: * snmp strings are correct on your polling/discovery solution for every device that needs to be discovered/polled/added to NPM * IP addresses/ranges are correctly set for your…

If you have NCM, there are several inventory reports to be found within it; I suspect everything you hope for is present in one or more of them.
