Yes, you need Read/Write access in order to get the configs through SNMP.

I include a similar link but with this syntax. http://<Orion-server>/Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=N:${NodeID} For alerts that pertain to a specific interface, I use the link below which will go directly to the interface details view.…

Have you been able to determine from the traps received which device is causing your server to generate these traps?

I usually use something like this for these types of alerts *208*sqlserveragent*

The problem you are having may be related to the fact that there are multiple tables in the database with a field named status. That means you need to specify which table you are referring to in your filter. Try something like this: InterfaceTypeDescription NOT Like '*Ethernet*' and interfaces.status <> 0

Do you have anything configured on the Trigger Threshold tab for the alert?

It would be interesting to see what the min/max/avg graph looks like for this interface. Can you post that?

Does NPM show the correct speed for the interface? If not then you can set a custom bandwidth amount on the interface properties. Another possibility is counter rollover. If you are using 32bit counters and the interface is pushing a fair amount of traffic the counters can roll over between polls and cause strange numbers…

In the WHERE clause above, Location is the name of the field in the nodes table that contains the information "Data Center SEV1". For example, if the name of this field in your nodes table is called Site then the where clause would look like: WHERE Site = 'Data Center SEV1' 

It might be interesting to use the Orion Service Manager to stop the syslog service and then verify that nothing is listening on udp/514 with netstat. That might help you determine if you have more than one service trying to use udp/514. Another thought would be to check the Syslog Viewer app and verify that there are no…

The difference is in the SQL that is created by the two different configurations. The "broken" one creates logic that reads like this: (paging is equal to standard 5x9 AND Node Status is equal to Up AND Volume Percent Used is greater than or equal to 90 AND Volume Type is equal to Fixed Disk AND ContactName is equal to OSS…

I think your criteria would need to look like this. * Trigger alert when any of the following apply * Trigger alert when all of the following apply * System is equal to someapp * Volume Percent Used is greater than 89 * Trigger alert when none of the following apply * Caption contains Paging * Trigger alert when all of the…

I'm not sure Richard. It sure sounds like a bug though. I think your best course of action would be to open a ticket with Solarwinds for this issue.

Gotcha. I don't believe this is currently possible. This sort of event correlation ability is something a lot of us would like to see in the product. 

 Take a look at this report that I uploaded to the content sharing zone and see if it is close to what you are looking for.

You might try running the query below against the database to see if the changes made by the upgrade were captured as events in the events table. If they were then you might have a record of what the original value was before the change. select * from events where Message like '%speed changed%' order by eventtime desc

Yes, you should be able to do this based on the status of two sepcific nodes. I would recommend using an alert suppression to do this. So if you want an alert only when node1 is down and node2 is up, you would set up a trigger based on node1 being down and then configure an alert suppression based upon node2 status not…

Sam, The key is in creating the different levels of the criteria. Unfortunately, the interface is not particularly intuitive for doing this but once you understand how it works it's not so bad. For instance, when creating the complex conditions that read "Select records where all of the following apply" you need to start…

I would use two separate queries to do this. To update the fields in the nodes table use a query like this: update nodes set nodes.pollinterval = ###, nodes.statcollection = ### where nodes.site_type = 'HQ' and nodes.commonname like '%WAN%' To update the interfaces table, use a query like this one: update interfaces set…

I was referring to commands that are applied on the router to restrict which OID's the device responds to. It appears that NPM averages all of the values returned in the CPU utilization table which can cause a large difference between what the router reports from the command line and what you see in NPM. I found that the…

Yes, I believe it does.

Correct. Don't enter anything in for the criteria.

This will allow you to discard any messages coming into the syslog server that contain the word printer. Is that what you mean by 'filter'?

I agree, this is something that would be very useful. I have had some success working around this by setting the custom poller MIB Value Type to Raw Value and then selecting Enumeration for the Type. You can then Map the raw values to the values you want. The down side is this can be cumbersome if you have a large range of…

I took the approach of adding a new table to the database which contains log message entries for each node. I also had to create a custom asp page which displays all of the log entries for the node along with a form for entering a new log message. Techs can click a link on either the node details or node alarms page to…

If the Exchange server is accepting authenticated connections over port 25 then that should be all you need open. If the server is configured to only accept authenticated connections on another port such as 587 then you will have to open that port on your firewall and configure NPM to send using 587 instead of 25.

Looks like events written to the Windows Application log show the passwords but the same events written to the Solarwinds.Net log have the passwords blanked out with asterisks.

I've ran into this same issue. Unfortunately, the time of day settings for advanced alerts are not very flexible as they only allow you to configure a single time range that applies to all selected days. It would be helpful if you could set the time range for each day within one alert. One way to work around this would be…

Perhaps this is related to the sample interval you are using when viewing the chart? Do you see the same results if you set the sample interval to Every Hour?

I would like to see the ability to exclude a device from discovery based solely on the hostname. This would be helpful in cases were I want to exclude a router from discovery that has hundreds of interfaces.
