Check your device template out--does it look like the one I've pasted below? If not, give this template a try--it works fine for my WLC's. <!--SolarWinds Network Management Tools--> <!--Copyright 2005 SolarWinds.Net All rights reserved--> <Configuration-Management Device="Cisco WLC Updated" SystemOID="…

I can imagine a couple of ways you can do this. * Go to the device(s) sending the alarm and configure them to not sent that particular alarm to Kiwi. * Go to the device(s) sending the alarm and configure them to use a different syslog Facility number for that message. Then filter it out by Facility in Kiwi. * If the above…

You've exposed me to a brand new word! But I'm not sure it means what you think it means: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. - YouTube All in fun, with respect and no intent to demean or criticize. Thanks for showing me a new word!

I've done what you're trying--two HA servers, different data centers. I implemented Cisco's NX-OS and leveraged their Overlay Transport Virtualization--OTV. It enables you to extend a Layer 2 VLAN / Subnet between two different sites, while retaining the ability to block broadcast storms between the two data centers. We…

* A company must budget for each employee to receive adequate training for their responsibilities. Relying on employees training themselves on their own, at their own expense, is a path to either losing employees, or having staff that cannot support the products for which they are responsible. * Plan on budgeting $6000 (in…

Do you have the option to tell NPM and NTA that the Nexus 9K switches' IP address is a different one that you originally managed them with? Is it that simple--just change the IP address that NPM uses to manage them, to match the address they're using to send NetFlow data to NPM and NTA?

Understanding what resources UDT requires and uses is an interesting challenge. Check out these two links for information about how many UDT devices can be monitored by a single UDT poller. https://support.solarwinds.com/@api/deki/files/9924/ScalabilityEngineGuidelines.pdf The first document linked shows the Primary Poller…

While the (default) View Type can provide this information, and while I cannot (yet) get the (default) info added into my Node Summary view, there are a few other canned views from which to choose. "Node Details for ASA - Site-to-Site VPN" fills the need. But I'd prefer to be able to have ALL nodes use the Node Summary…

There are options. For example, start with the page you'd like to modify. * Customize (Edit) page * Add Widgets * Custom Query > Drag to the position on the page you want * Done Adding Widgets * Done Editing * Edit Custom Query * Past in SWQL query from SDK * Click “Enable Search” if you wish * Set number of rows per page…

1. Sometimes 2. First with e-mail and screen shots using Snip-it. Then with cell phone records or landline phone records for timeline records and notification, a spreadsheet and any text editor--preferably Word for it's auto numbering and bullets. LANDesk Service Desk for Help Desk ticketing to keep the documents public…

I found the majority of my original Top 10 Errors & Discards was the result of operator error when configuring trunked ports between two switches or routers. If you connect two Cisco switches via a trunked port, every VLAN added to the interface on one switch must also be added to the interface on the other switch. If one…

It sounds like it's time to make a telephone call to Solarwinds Support.

Try this, Omair: * Open NCM and go to File / Settings / Device Inventory, and ensure you have all the Cisco items checked. * Confirm you have done a current inventory on your chasses * Run the Report at Reports / View Report / Inventory / Physical Entities (Serial Number). Note you may have to scroll to the far right of…

Some ideas: * Always use Multi-Factor Authentication. Unauthorized people must NEVER be able to access your SolarWinds environment. * Create a Remote Access environment that allows authorized people to go to a web site that uses something like the Citrix Secure Gateway's Virtual Desktop and an F5 Portal.* The CSG provides…

This is always appreciated. Thanks.

For what it's worth, my SW NCM 9.1 SP5 connects via SSH perfectly to Bay 470's, Business Policy Switch 2000's, Passport 8100's, ERS 8300's, and ERS 8600's. Now if I could just get the right template to handle the Passport 2430's and the Nortel Secure Router series, I'd be set.

I built an NCM Job that does this and only this. I run it every day to ensure no one has a config that isn't saved, which will be lost during a power outage. Of course, before you do ANYTHING, submit your planned change as a Change Request to the appropriate Change Administration Board so your work is logged and expected,…

Show that Solarwinds is not a cost or a liability, but is directly correlated with improving income and profit. It's not so bad as proving a negative, since you can show how costs go up and profits go down when systems are not monitored and customers are affected. It's a very short step to go from there to displaying how…

I experienced similar issues; the best things I did to resolve the issue: * Change the Settings/Configs/Config Transfers to 6 Simultaneous Downloads/Uploads * Adjust the Device Inventory to only Inventory up to 10 devices concurrently * Disable Real-Time Config Change Notifications * Uncheck the Device Inventory settings…

jlim13 has the right idea. If you can't discover the problem by using his initial steps, packet capture is your friend that will tell you what's being sent, where it's going, and whether it's getting there. If you're not familiar with Wireshark or setting up a port monitor or span session to a sniffer, start in on them and…

Which version of NCM are you using? And what TACACS solutions are you running--ACS? Or something entirely different? I've had many problems with ACS logging/reporting capabilities and reliability, and am anxiously awaiting for our ISE to replace it. But the earlier advice is appropriate: One job for backing up startup…

I'm probably that old Grampa that wluther talked about. I came to this organization in 2003 and, although it had 14,000 employees, it had no network management monitoring tool, no network discovery solution, no network configuration management, etc. I'd just come from a public school system where I'd set up 33 sites with…

It seems you're limited to providing different pollers for every overlapped subnet, or NAT-ing everything so you can poll them from one poller. Lots of folks have run into your challenge; you may find some enlightenment from their experiences: Overlapping IP Address Re: Overlapping IP Space --this is an old post, and it…

You, Sir, have found the flaw in my NCM deployment. Thank you for your first step--adding NCM - Licensed to Node Management and sorting on it. Most of my many "No" entries are Cisco ACI devices that don't play at all with NCM config backup, so I'm resigned to them not being in NCM. But your solution revealed there ARE a…

As the Merovingian said to Neo: "OK, you have some skills." To the Nth degree! Yes, please, I'm interested in the next steps! It's a thing of beauty, one I wasn't worried about because I generate a daily report about any devices that fail to back up overnight. Which may NOT be a valid report if someone forgot to add them…

NTA might already have the report you want, built in. You can search for NetFlow in Reports and see what's available, then copy & edit an existing report to meet your needs. I took the Netflow Applications Summary and adjusted it to show the Top 15 Applications, inbound and outbound, over the last 1 day. Would that work…

From your original comments, and from analysis by folks like Jfrazier, it seems apparent the Orion VM does not have sufficient resources allocated to accomplish its tasks. Assign it more memory and CPU and see if the problem decreases.
-
Is there a chance you might be missing applying your Netflow reporting configuration on all of the L3 interfaces? For example, if you have it monitoring a WAN port, is it also monitoring all the L3 routing interfaces (or sub-interfaces)? That may give you the increased granularity you need to see what's consuming the WAN…

It seems the correct solution is to not ask NCM to compensate for old operating systems and old equipment. Instead, upgrade the systems so you can use the "service password-encryption" command (Cisco-ese) and be done with the problem. Simultaneously you will also enjoy multiple bug fixes and many feature enhancements, as…
