  • Syslog and SNMP Traps can only utilize the rules within their respective viewers, and all rules are configured on the Solarwinds Server in the viewers to send Email, take an NCM action, generate Syslog or Trap, flag or modify the message. Syslog and Traps cannot used in conjunction with Alerting system in the web console.
  • Errors and Discards are polled using the following MIBS: ifInDiscard, ifOutDiscard, ifInErrors, ifOutErrors. Since the Error count is not incrementing up, Brocade may not be updating the information in the ifInErrors and ifOutErrors MIBs. You may want to contact Brocade to see if they use a different MIB to store the Error…
  • To expand upon kb1lxm's answer, what you are seeing is due to the interface index value changing in the router/switch. One thing that can cause this is a reload of the device. Orion monitor interfaces by this value and if it changes, and will no longer receive SNMP information about the interface resulting in an unknown…
  • Chart Gaps usually occur when there is a SQL Performance issue. Starting with Orion 10.1, the Node and Volume Statistics will Queue up and wait for time to write into the Database. If you are on Orion 10.1 and above, there is a simple method to see if there is a SQL Performance issue. Server 2008: 1. Open up Server Manager…
  • The issue is on ${NetObjectName} the interface in this case "ghs-mdf-fw01-Adaptive Security Appliance 'inside' interface - inside" the Single Quote is the issue on this Alert, once the ' ' has been removed the Custom SQL will work correctly.
  • In the Alert under the Trigger Actions Tab> NetPerfMon Event Log, what is the Message that is configured. The Error looks like it is a Custom SQL Query that is giving the error.
  • The device EngineID from the SNMP polling of the device is not stored. This is a snippit from my SNMPv3 Configuration Document Setup SNMPv3 via CLI for Cisco Devices SNMPv3 Traps (Orion Core 2011.2 and higher ) Note: This assumes that you have setup and configured SNMPv3 on the device already. * Add the following while in…
  • Yes you can. Please go into Settings> NTA Settings> Edit IP Address Groups Check groups to enable monitoring. Checked groups will appear in the Top XX IP Address Group resource. IP Address groups can also be used to define application in Manage Applications and Service Ports.Below is from the Admin Guide:IP Address…
  • You can leverage IP Address Groups to group an entire IP Address range. This can be setup under NTA Settings> Manage IP Address Groups. When you have multiple groups setup, such as workstations and servers, it can help to display the overall traffic for the entire group.
  • You will need to contact your Device’s Vendor to understand what the Errors or Discards are, since Vendors represent Discarded Packets differently. Here is a paper from Cisco about their Discards: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps167/products_tech_note09186a008012fb87.shtml If you are seeing a lot of…
  • The current Alert Manager will re-trigger alerts every 10 days. This function has existed since Advanced Alert Manager was introduced in NPM v8.1.
  • It sounds like that you may have put the SNMPv2 settings into the Read/Write view as well. Just add the community string in the Read portion and it should test successfully. I would also check to make sure that you have the IP Address added in the ASA Configuration to return the data. The command is: SNMP-Server Host…
  • I have tried on Orion 10 with ${SQL:select count(*) from nodes} under Node, Interface, ToolTip, and a Separate Label, it did not display anything
  • From the chart, it appears the Active Directory is reporting a spike every hour, with a significant spike of 146.99 seconds just after midnight. You will want to click on the Active Directory to take a look at just this one protocol in detail. In the detail view I would take a look at the Transaction resource (Connections…
