It's an example of how much this is on my mind.

David, your logic did the trick for me. It was simpler to use it in the existing Down Nodes report than to try to build a new one. The logic I have in the Filter follows your format: (Status = 0 OR Status = 2) AND Caption not like 'NWCC*' AND (Caption like '*SW*' OR Caption like '*Nike*' OR Caption like '*FW*' OR Caption…

NICE! That's the kind of SQL help I was looking for. I'll give that a shot & respond tomorrow with the results.

Go to your Main Polling Engine and create a diagnostics file to share with Solarwinds support. Do this also for any Additional Polling Engines which are affected. Create screen shots of errors and describe your entire Solarwinds environment, include platforms and operating systems, and all Solarwinds modules. Then open a…

Only DES56? I haven't looked into that detail, but typically we require higher DES than that on all other DES-compatible systems. Isn't Meraki capable of higher DES than just 56? Or is it some other limitation that forces you to use nothing greater than DES56?

NPM occasionally discovers new devices here, and occasionally misrepresents or misinterprets them as wireless controllers. I simply go into the node in NPM and select the appropriate Summary View to display the device, and ensure the appropriate template is used to manage it. I say "simply", but this doesn't scale well to…

If I were a bettin' man, I'd bet their management and monitoring is proprietary and not snmp-based. That makes it easier for them to exclude Solarwinds while drawing network managers into having to purchase/contract/license Meraki's suite and access. It's a new revenue stream for Meraki that's "standards-based". They might…

Yesterday we were working with Meraki Support to better secure and manage our new Meraki networks via their cloud-based managed solution. The Meraki Engineer recommended a specific security step, we implemented it, and lost all access to all our Meraki MX gear. His security solution had inadvertently shut off all remote…

After all the hotfixes were applied, most all my complaints were resolved. Except this one. I've created a new Discussion for the topic here: How does one modify NCM's Firmware Upgrade Operation so it recognizes there is enough free space to proceed?

I applied hot fixes to all my SW modules and APE's six days ago. I haven't tested to see if that fixed this particular issue, but I DO note many other things that were problematic have been repaired. Fingers are crossed that this is no longer an issue after the HF's, too.

With help from others, I was able to build a useful View this way: The Custom Query is: SELECT N.NODEID, N.CAPTION AS 'DEVICE', N.LOCATION AS 'LOCATION', CPS.STATUS AS 'CURRENT STATUS', CPS.DATETIME AS 'LAST POLLED' FROM NODES N JOIN CUSTOMPOLLERASSIGNMENT CPA ON N.NODEID = CPA.NODEID JOIN CUSTOMPOLLERSTATUS CPS ON…

I like what you've done here, but my NPM version 12.0.1 doesn't have a "RUN TIME REMAINING" option to select for the second column, therefore I can't complete the table properly. What version of NPM are you using?

I can think of only two options: * Do a MIB walk or SNMP discovery of one of your devices using NPM or the Toolset, then analyze the results and see what was discovered that can intuitively offer you the data you need. Then create a custom report that leverage a UnDP that targets the MIBs you want displayed. * Check out…

Thanks, I just got the same info from SW Tech Support. The work around follows: Update for Case #86511 Reference to your concern, this is a known issue on NPM 11.5.2 at the moment and as of now, the fix for it is still on the process and be available on the next release. The work-around for now is to delete the chart >>…

Agreed, the Edit option is missing. However, the user and group permissions used to create and to view this chart have full permissions. It IS very much like a permissions issue, I'll give you that. Still looking at it, not finding the issue so far, but not giving up yet.

We've been rolling out 802.1x through ISE bigtime this past six months, along with ACI in the data centers. But chasing & securing MACs & flows & port security isn't my primary goal here. I'm interested in UDT primarily to keep our CMDB up to date, and to help me find every port connected to a specific type of device. For…

Are you saying one can't browse to them or search for them anymore? I realize the new Web UI allows you to open them through it, and edit their contents. But I'd like to look at them, see the list, open ones I'm not yet using so I can see their differences, etc. And like you, I'd like to be able to move formerly modified…

It should be fine to turn on the machine's personal firewall, if required. All that is required is for you to adjust its policy to allow ICMP and snmp from your NPM poller.

I'm running this on the actual NPM server.

cnorborg​, I'm trying to use your process (above) to get the license information from some Cisco 4510's, and I'm missing something basic, it's not working. Can you show me in ridiculous baby-steps-detail how to get the data? Maybe you can see what I'm missing. I want to report on the output of the "show license in-use"…

I'm using SQL 2014 for the previous version of NPM (12.2), and have no issues with it. However, I would not install anything on SQL 2014 going forward because Solarwinds is leveraging the new features and functionality in SQL 2016, and 2016 will be mandatory in the future. It's already required for new installations of…

Many thanks, Jiri, for the fast response!

@Zack_Mutchler, I'd like to learn where your process is accomplished. What you've pasted in looks like something from Notepad++, and I'm not sure where in NPM this data is created. Can you help me out by going through the beginning steps? E.g.: 1) Login to NPM, or RDP to the Main Poller and start Report Writer, or Go into…

Sorry, I never got a fix for this. However, I'm on NAM RC2 right now, and haven't tested the Firmware Upgrade tool yet. Maybe they got to it . . .?

A couple of options for Vendor & Machine Type that show up in the Inventory panel for this node in NPM:

You did a super job answering Question #1, mesverrum . I found my second various of the report shows up time in a method that is friendlier than seconds, so we can consider that one answered. Go for answering question 3 and you'll have provided the majority of answers and earned the green Correct Answer award: 3. I'd like…

Thank you mesverrum​. I'd forgotten (if I ever knew)that the SNMP OID has this limitation. No wonder my data didn't make sense in the first iteration of the report.

Wow. That's FAR more intensive sleuthing and action than ought to be required. ding​ Does this sound reasonable? Or is there a hotfix or version upgrade to deal with this problem?

Sorry, no, I haven't done that. It's slipped to the back burner.

When I checked into that, I confirmed I only have one Discovery task set up. When I selected it and clicked Edit to see what credentials are in it, it generated an error: I tried a second time for verification--same resulting error. Hmmm . . .
