Thanks!

Nope, only this model has the problem. Have had this for several years with this model of Cisco device. I think we're probably close to retiring it, but it's been confusing to see HP hardware showing up in an all-Cisco network. Why NPM says its Machine Type is Cisco, while reporting its vendor is HP, is the question.

Uff da! I was hoping not to have to modify something on every node. Honestly, NPM and NCM should do this sorting right out of the box. Thank you for you response, d09h​

Yeah, uh, that sounds, um . . . pretty frustrating. Thanks for thinking it through! Maybe someone from SW will read this and provide a suggestion or other guidance. serena​, maybe?

OK, it sounds fun. I do NOT have your solution, but your request brought to mind some similar items for which I've built some reports and workarounds. * Synchronizing Nodes' polling with their Netflow destinations. Not too hard. I, too, have five APE's. I have my nodes distributed to those APE's by region or by…

OK, I'm surprised. For all the sessions I attended, surveys I filled out, I thought it was going to be a lot more than 2000 points. Sorry for the confusion, brett.holzhauer​. And thank you for clarifying it for me.

Hi, Ray. Please say more about using the compliance module. Rick

Another resource (sorry, not a report) that you may find useful to customize is the Top X Interfaces by Percent Utilization. You can filter on specific interfaces, to keep things useful. But the Current Percent Utilization - Top 25 Interfaces is a report that may work for you: Given it sorts by percent utilization from…

I just discovered this same issue. It's not on all my switches, but it's present on a few of my 4510's. Doing a debug ip ssh on the cisco switch, and then attempting to ssh shows this line in the Cisco switch's log: %SSH-3-SER_NOT_DEF: ServerHostKey not defined in SSH Server Database How does one define the ServerHostKey…

I'm running NPM 12.0.1; didn't find any reports with "duplex" in their titles. I did find a Thwack thread that described how one user advised another about duplex alerting: duplex setting in NPM

Given that we're pretty burned out and wary of alert fatigue, and also given that I like your way of thinking here, I'd rather have a report showing the interfaces down for X hours than have to look at alerts. I have about 66,000 ports, and perhaps 10% - 25% might occasionally qualify for that alert. No one wants between…

That's an interesting way of looking at it. It rather turns things at a 90-degree compared to what I was tracking. Thanks--I'll give this some consideration.

I dug a bit more into this and found the default UDT "Top XX Nodes by Percent Ports Used" only uses the last 24 hours to determine whether a port is used or unused by whether it had a link or not in that time frame. Not so useful in my environment, where we can't unpatch an unused cable unless it hasn't seen link in three…

A friend of my wrote and performed and recorded a song about the people who came before us, who blazed the trails we walk, and upon whose shoulders we rest. The song describes their contributions, and imparts a feeling of appreciation and dependence on those folks who held the sky up for us, as if they were big trees. And…

I'm sorry to say I've no explanation for that part. I don't have SSO enabled for my NPM environment; perhaps that's why we're not yet experiencing this issue?

I recommend you query Solarwinds Technical Support for that specific detail. In NPM 12.2 I was able to generate a graph showing traffic, but when I selected the option to show Raw Data in Excel I received an error.

I, too, have had some varying response times over the last fourteen years. Typically my experience has been that telephone calls are handled much more quickly than cases submitted online. For a long time I've submitted questions / problems to Thwack first, and only opened support tickets via telephone after a day or so,…

Hang on to the points; you'll find something you want more than the lab coat, I'd bet. The computer backpack has been a very popular item; I have one and love it.

I've only seen that option with UnDP or other Pollers. If they aren't compatible with a device, they aren't shown. I don't know if there's a way to do that with a Resource / Widget in a View, but it certainly seems like parallel functionality. I'll leave "automatically hiding Widgets if nothing needs displaying" for others…

Now that I'm using a Table instead of a Chart (D'Oh!), I've had success with the info from ebradford​: I'll try build a second Widget using the info provided by d09h​ and see which one is best for my team. Thank you both! Rick Schroeder

ebradford This looks like it has promise, Eric. The first step shows data like I want: However, after updating the data source, there are two errors that are show stoppers: I wish I were more familiar with SQL, but I'm not, so I'll ask for your advice: Which lines need insertion or modification to deal with the two errors…

"Averse"? No. Interested? Maybe! Please say on! I'm imaging just creating a group with all the devices in the data center, and then using some SQL filtering to display port errors on only that group. Is that how you'd do it?

Whoops! DanielleH​, who's minding the store for UDT updates? If this isn't a product that's on the front burner, NAM is suddenly much less interesting to me, since I need something that will discover which switch & port is associated with every IP address & MAC address, something that includes how long ports have been…

Thank you! I'll give this a try today and report my discovery here.

Not only don't forget to park your current licenses, but remember to copy them to text files so you can copy the keys and use them to relicense your upgraded systems without having to go through Support.

The simple answers: The Configuration Archive Directory Structure is built as follows: * * First you define where the files will be stored. * Second, NCM remotely accesses the node and downloads the running or startup config * Third, NCM places the file in a Dated folder, inside a named folder, inside the directory…

We're using the integrated solution, deployed across seven pollers--not the stand-alone solution.

I trust you've already applied the UDT Patch:

Has the future come yet? Is this available in the GUI? If it's only available in the Unmanage Scheduling utility that runs on the Main Instance, I'd love a link to instructions for how to use it to unmanage multiple nodes for three hours every day of the week.

I had a similar problem. It turned out that one of my other Network Analysts had entered in all 100 of my sites' mailing addresses and then chosen one of them as the home office--and it wasn't our home office. The Cisco tool requires entering our home office, and it took weeks to get Cisco and our account rep to reveal…
