Sorry, Not trying to beat a dead horse, but I posted information about importing Net Sonar data that didn't actually work, and I just wanted to set the record straight that you can't use Net Sonar data since it won't dump discovered subnet data detail. -=Dan=- 

Right. By duplicate I mean same device imported with a different IP address. I'm with you on a bad import causing havoc. I feel your pain.

Validate Login works like a champ. It's not a login problem. Is there a way to trace the connection the way CatTools would all you to do?

I'm stuck with having to do a show Configuration based on my locked authorization level. The device template was Auto Determine for all the ones working, but this failed on these problem router.

Works. Had to use the solarwinds Orion local admin name "admin" and password. AD administrator account didn't work. Any way to increase the description size as well? These also get truncated.

Absolutely. Never understood why this wasn't done. Seems so easy.

I resemble that Message Queue bug. Took a while to nail down, but was a memory leak in the poller DLL. NPM would act like it was working, but polls would not get written to the database. It uses the Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). You can see if they are backing up two ways: In server 2008 I used Server Manager,…

I understand not wanting to do DHCP and DNS management. I didn't explain my point very well. I'd still like to see a template capability that would allow you to automatically add attributes to blocks of IP addresses in a new subnet.... Block that are DHCP managed, blocks that are assigned to different VLANs, etc. I think…

Is this a boring subject?

jstephenson: I had the same issue. Turned out that the installer did not wait long enough for the NPM service to shut down or start up, and the install did not finish cleanly. I, too, had Red Xs until I reloaded and got the install to run cleanly. Appears that having alot of interfaces causes slowness in loading services…

New Resources * Use Multiple Series Charts to display multiple interfaces and Universal Device Pollers to the same chart. In reality, you can only have ONE poller, at Table poller in the Multiple Series Chart

Chris, Does the new beta do anything with advanced application definitions? If they do, I'd like to kick the tires.

There just is no way to extract the subnets found with Network Sonar. At least the version I have. What you can use is the Subnet List tool, and this exports to a CSV. This you can import into the IP Address Manager, then do the IPAM import. Very convoluted. If each tool had just a little more power, it would be simple.…

On the NPM roadmap, handling multiple IPs is listed. Not sure what that means.... However, What I do a setup all IPs in NPM. I edit the Node Name (caption) of the secondard IPs and give a dash interface name. I do network stuff, so some devices have active passive pairs with a virtual IP. I actually manage the interfaces…

I agree. I'd like to be able to click the IP address in Node Details and be taken to the IPAM entry. I'd like to click the IP address in IPAM and be taken to the NPM entry. -=Dan=-

Steve: I agree on the IP addresses. I suggested that there was a node details resource that would record all the IPs assigned to a node and the interfaces they are on. Additionally, Sonar should check the IPs in this resource or the device itself, and if any of them are already managed, list as changed rather than found.…

I've got a single view that shows the IP address and the Interface Number, then another table that shows Interface number, and name. I'd like to do a JOIN on the two tables. -=Dan=-

And be able to set a default value. Add logical checkboxes.

What I've asked for several times is a requested feature list on your thwack site, and the ability of users to vote on these items. That lets us see if our issues are popular or unpopular with the community and to know they are on your list. An example i've given before is here:…

This is a Juniper EX4200 stack, but all junos devices work the same way. I tried adding 7.1.1 but not 7. I'll give it a try.

Filtering interfaces by type is on the roadmap. We haven't done it yet, but it's certainly not for any nefarious reasons. No, not nefarious. Just a focus on new features and a lesser focus existing functionality. I used to hope existing functions would get fixed, but not knowing the roadmap (the whole public company deal,…

I forced the template to Cisco IOS, but didn't help.

OK, I'm working with an upgraded box. Automatic rediscovery seems to have found the new system name and description. The stuff in the details box looks good. But the interfaces are all screwed up. Example follows. Also I get interface disappeared errors for these. Going into "List Resources" does not clear this list. The…

Won't the city router see a BGP neighbor change if the RIG goes down. I simply monitor for a BGP neighbor change, and alert on it. With NPM 10, you can create actions based on trap details. That's how I monitor my WAN connections. Note: Syslog in NPM has a little more functionality, and KiwiSyslog even more.

Awesome. Thanks. A lot simpler without the joins. Getting Universal pollers is just plain UGLY. Sure pays to get SQL proficient if you want to fully utilize NPM. Is there a good source for learning subqueries, complex aggregation , use of temp tables, etc? Thanks for sharing. -=Dan=-

Missed twol #6 When you go to execute a CCT, the dialog for picking devices to apply it to has no way to filter or sort. I need AT LEAST the IP address listed. 7. I'm having a hard time figuring out which devices I've applied the template to and which I have not. I'd sure like to be able to sort devices by which template…

There's a resource you can add to your details page that give the device OID. The OID you show is the manufacturer OID, but not the device SysObjectOID.

So you don't need to access the database? Running local credentials with an admin account user gives an unhandled exception. 

Right JunOS: SRX, Routers, EX switches. Yes, subinterfaces 1:1 unless routing vlans on one interface (router on a stick) which is a corner case.

Thanks
