  • Did you ever get this sorted? We use IP SLA for this. For BGP issues you will see Zero latency (would be nice if there was such a thing) and that is what we use as the trigger.

    in Edit Resource: All Nodes - Filtering Question Comment by saw10 March 2020
  • Not sure if this would - We use this type of thing for network devices, We create a "script" that is run at the command prompt of the device. The output is then save to a file. Then we create a job to be run against the selected nodes and schedule as needed. We do this via NCM not sure about other modules. I would think…

    in I want my Orion Web page to load Fast Comment by saw10 October 2015
  • The issue that I have found with the additional Web Server is that when an alert is sent the link within to view the "issue" always point to the primary poller and the users then start using the primary poller and NOT the additional Web server. I am still trying to find a way to provide the link to the WebServer and not…

    in CDP_Neighbor_Resource_v2.SWQL Comment by saw10 October 2017
  • Sorry - I what I was asking is how other does Orion/NPM/NCM collects the information. Is there a way to force a collection?
    in CDP_Neighbor_Resource_v2.SWQL Comment by saw10 October 2017
  • Would you know what would "force" a CDP pull from a device? Or would you know how often the CDP is pulled? I have a pair of devices, one the CDP report works and the other there are no results. Both are the same type of device. Any information would be of help.

  • Craig - You seem to be the CDP guy, I am hoping you can help. First of - I use your CDP Neighbor "widget" it works Great (Thank You by the way) and I do filter out the phones. So here is my problem, I need a report of CDP neighbors that are NOT managed by Orion. We have both NPC(12.01) and NCM(7.5.1). Global Network and…

  • I use a map of the office that I want to see. Create a map for an office. Add the map to you "US Map". You can select the graphic for that object. This works well for my environment but there is an issue with the bubble up of interface issues. If this way works for you I can share the work around for the issue. I hope this…

    in HPE Aruba - Product Support Comment by saw10 August 2019
  • Just a quick question - What type of devices are you looking to inventory? IOS and IOS-X there are out-of-the-box reports. Running inventory job should populate the information. Nexus devices are not currently supported for inventory. There is a "work around" using UnDP. If you check on THWACK you will find a discussion.…

  • This works great for monitoring circuits that are "burstable". With many of our circuits, we have "purchased" a set amount of bandwidth but which are able "burst" over that set amount. To that end we monitor for the purchased amount but configure for the bust amount. Example - Circuit 10/100, The purchased amount is 10 meg…

  • I would like to thank everyone for their help and suggestions.

Following a naming convention I then created an alert rule for the status of those groups. NOTE - The Alert…
