I have a few WLCs 5508 and 2504 and they provide the CDP info on the WLC itself Monitor > CDP > AP Neighbors. I think it requires a relatively newer WCL version, like 7.4 or 8.x or something. CDP neighbor info is available for all connected APs, including Thin APs. Of course it doesn't mean there is a MIB for it, but it's…

We have a need for this feature as well. We have a DMVPN network and all the VPN Tunnel interface nodes report an MTU change every 20 minutes. Just like this posting: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/54269 There are a number of related postings I found that would also benefit from this same feature to filter or disable…

FWIW I assume physical/virtual memory is under volumes, because that's where windows puts it in the snmp mibs. The memory gets index IDs in the same OIDs as disks.

There needs to be a way to track the APs upon discovery on key fields the same way the Controllers themselves do: MAC address! I'm thinking APs need to be tracked seperate from the controller. If the unit is offline or moved, NPM should re-associated the 'new' unit (even if the IP or name changed) with the existing AP…

Personally i think this would be useful for us for Cisco Unity Connection VM servers (Publisher and Subscriber). I don't know what sort of access/stats might be available, but a way to track how much space/how many minutes are left, Port Utilization (connections to call manager, for example our server allows up to 32 calls…

If they really spent significant effort in improving the handling/alerting and management of Thin APs, I wouldn't even mind them being classified as a different object type from a licensing perspective. Either a per-Controller 'detailed wireless monitoring license' or even a much better ratio; eg each thin AP counts at…

I don't understand what the request is for? Deduplication of what data exactly? Could you elaborate more? 

This doesn't help if the AP is offline for a reason besides power loss/disconnection, eg DHCP lease failed to assign addressing, issues contacting controller (not just network path, but configuration, certificate, authentication, or bugs as well). 

FYI Interface persistence is enabled by default and cannot be disabled in Cisco NX-OS Software. Some IOS XE versions use "snmp mib persist". Some IOS switches use "snmp ifmib ifindex persist".

I did something like this, and it seemed to work out OK: New-SwisObject $swis "Orion.Dependencies"…

It's not really something I can do on our production server. I don't have any demos setup right now either. I really don't think it matters though, I'm sure I'd have the same issue as you. It will not work as you expect if the evaluation frequency is larger than the trigger condition timer. Think about if you were the…

You can still use escalations to send additional emails, as i said, just not on a regular schedule without a lot of work building (infinite?) number of escalations. The only scenario I can think of where it makes sense to repeat the alert for the same item is when the original notification wasn't enough and then you need…

Thanks, but I've seen the fields in the DB. It seems that the example originally posted elsewhere in the forums was incomplete. See my other comment on that post here: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/68887?sr=inbox&ru=19856#297568 I just wasn't entirely sure that there weren't any other tables/fields that would need…

OK, I also have these other two tickets with bugfixes that are being worked on for future versions, so I'm keen to try to get fixes to all of them applied: Case #1128650: Socket/Memory leak in Solarwinds.Collector.Service.exe (I was told they're developing a buddydrop fix for this for me) Case #1186790: Unknown netflow…

I haven't turned on auto-dependency, but I'm pretty sure it will not work for us. It's based upon the NPM topology, which so far NPM is not close to getting right. It doesn't help that many of our switches are unmonitored, mostly we have branch site routers which have one or more DMVPN links between them. Even though the…

I guess i just don't see how the hash part makes a difference. If the file downloaded is the same in download 1 and download 2 (even if it changed and then changed back inside that interval on the device) then the hash would be the same. I also don't really get how setting up a notification for changes based on regex rules…

I'm not positive, but i think you might be having trouble with the use of the 'evaluate every 30 minutes' being a longer duration than the wait timer? The evaluation interval I don't think is being used correctly here. It's intent I think is more to reduce database CPU processing time, not to set a repeat interval. My…

Great! Something similar to how the Group/Container objects are created/updated would make sense to me. I admit I had assumed that the other fields would get generated from the supplied URIs, like how a filter 'Definition' supplied to the Container object is transformed into the required 'Expression' field as well. In the…

I actually just contacted support again on this last week. They confirmed it has been 'fixed' but not in any code that has been released yet. I get anywhere from 10 to 80 emails a day due to this 'bug' (depending on just how bad the China<>Internet connectivity is that day). @cobrien I might be interested in the RC, but…

Did you ever get Dependencies added via powershell? I'm running v11.5; The CRUD support seems to be in the SDK for dependencies but the created dependencies don't work (and appear to be missing attributes when looking at the new rows in the Orion.Dependencies table in the DB)...

Just wanted to note that I had to change this query a bit for two things: 1) We don't have a customproperty 'system' so i commented out that line. 2) I recently discovered that there is a collision on MemberPrimaryID in Orion.ContainerMembers, because MemberPrimaryID is only uniqe in conjunction with MemberEntityType. We…

I'm not sure i understand how a hash of the config downloaded from the device would work? If a cisco router has config with 20 lines when config is first downloaded, then someone logs in, makes changes to running config then changes them back, and i then go and ask teh device for it's running config again, i will get the…

I'm still in the process of just setting this up, but it appears that our clickable links for blades in the UCS Overview view in Solarwinds is showing the Blade's KVM IP address. I've noticed that even though we have 2 chassis with 7 blades each (one is double-wide), however only blades 1 and 7 in chassis-1 show up as…

They want a new email repeating every 30 minutes? So like if they didn't fix the disk for 12 hours, they'd have 24 emails 'reminding' them? That seems the wrong approach, it's not like an email from 35 minutes ago goes away without someone touching it... If the issue is too many total email alerts, then the process is…

FYI, I've only had to restart the Netflow Storage Service on the NTA Database Server to get it to start working again. So far, since upgrading NPM/NCM/NTA last Thursday I've had to restart the service 3 times. Interestingly the service isn't stopped, it just isn't accepting connections from the Orion Server anymore? For…

Sorry, didn't see this reply earlier. It's Case # 1018114. I still haven't gotten a fix. I believe it's a design issue, as the poller writes a '0' into the database when the snmp query times out/is lost mid-transfer. For some values this makes sense, like a traffic counter or temperature (so a graph over time show missed…

Using a tool like http://www.regexr.com/​ to check syntax of your regular expressions when building them can be tremendously helpful.

This code doesn't seem to work, was there a change before RTM? I'm running v11.5 which I think was what v12 beta turned into? I ran: New-SwisObject $swis "Orion.Dependencies" @{Name="AUBal-LAN on…

I can confirm that upgrading to the latest March 2017 releases hasn't resolved this issue yet. i think i noticed a similar root-cause issue with the Netflow CBWFQ polling today as well, but I don't have time to open a support case and go through all the motions to report it right now. Basically the CBWFQ graph shows the…
