Finally got it. Now have all 5 right for this week. Send me the Jambox!!

The same happened to me. I select the correct answers, but it told me incorrect and stated that I selected an option that I did not click on.

One that we get all too often in our NOC after hours is for VPN issues. We have no helpdesk on the weekends or after hours so these calls roll over to our NOC. Time and again we get users stating that the VPN is down and that we need to call the on-call network engineer to investigate. In about 98% of all calls, the user…

My company is also deploying some new linux servers where IPMI will be used to gather hardware health since there is no SNMP and no OpenManage to pull from. Seeing this added into SolarWinds would be very nice.

I got the message stating I got the answer right and should be awarded 150 points, but I never did receive them. Can someone check on that please?

Were you able to find anything on this? My company has just moved over to AVI and we need to add monitoring on it and having issues.

We did end up getting it to work on the global zone, but don't ask how! I can't remember and I can't go back and look since I was consulting for that company at the time, so no access to go back and look.

Here is how we have it now. I uncheck all of the downlink ports, otherwise the list was huge.

I am trying to get this setup as well. I have added the OIDs as UnDPs but am having a hard time getting my tabular display to look like yours. Any suggestions?

If you remember to, can you post back in here once Dev has gotten back to you to let me know what they said or how to fix?

Thanks again. Both of your answers helped me get the report built that I needed!

Thanks. That probably is what happened. I will just need to educate the users adding nodes to make sure they do not choose yes for adding to NCM when they are adding a server into NPM.

Sure,so it was 2 things that caused this to not work. We needed to download the Json addins in Perl on the poller. The 2nd thing was someone else was trying to figure this out and modified the perl script. They modified an arguement from ARG to ARRG. Once both of these were corrected, our script ran with no issues.

I do have ours set that way. I might have to look into the suggestion of using IBM Director Agent on the servers. It is just weird that listing resources shows Hardware Health as an option, but yet nothing shows for it after selecting it.

Never seen this tool, thanks for the suggestion. I do not see hardware listed though. I select the UCS node. Should I see hardware as an option in the next column?

You might want to see if you can install a newer version of Dell OM. I would say at least version 6.5. If you can do this, see if that helps.

Glad I could help!

mharvey, How were you able to move back to the GUI based Alert Manager?

Yep, you will get that. That is a feature you can purchase for use, so initially you get like 30 days for an eval to try it out I believe. 

Yep, every account I have tried has the permissions set like it is in your screen shot.

I do the same as you. I only perform an upgrade to 1 module in a week/night. This way I have time to work with support if the upgrade fails or blows up the environment. I have noticed that 9 times out of 10 when an upgrade fails it is due to either table corruption in the db or one of our custom indexes couldn't be dropped…

We just installed it last week, so still playing around with it. If all works well, then we are going to deploy in our PCI environment so that we get alerted anytime a new MAC address comes on network. Trying to get the alerting piece figured out. So far it detects the new MAC with no issues, but I am running out of…

Thanks for the help again aLTeReGo!!

Hi Serena, Yes, when we performed an upgrade to all the modules a few months ago, the new Orion installed most definitely simplified the upgrade process.

I will have to double check then. One of our people ran a discovery and every server that was added from the discovery also ended up in NCM.

Thanks aLTeReGo. This has gotten me going in the right direction. One last question. I now want to filter these for only physical servers running Windows. I do see under the Node Details section of a node where it will say Hardware and then Physical next to it, but trying to find that in the report as well.

Thanks for the suggestion Lada. I am however going to wait to see what SolarWinds Dev comes up with on this. I already have so many custom properties that I don't want to add one more for this. Especially since it was working and stopped after the upgrade.

Thanks for the laugh!! I do wonder what yahoo in the company decided on including that in an email address.

Here is the query I use to remove Hardware Health monitoring from a node. UPDATE APM_HardwareInfo SET IsDisabled = 1 WHERE NodeID = 'InsertNodeIdHere'

First thing I checked and it is setup correctly and tests successfully.
