I need this too.

How often does SNMP agent collect data? I mean, it's an agent, right? It polls data and stores it, so that it'll be available the next time the NMS asks, right?

Bump for the day crew....

And some Democrat liberal from CA ripped Solarwinds a new one...but I'll bet she didn't have a word to say about Hillary's email server. 

Exactly - it's been going on for months, they've had an eternity to gather data. This is just beginning. 

I think I'd be willing to forgive, if they would only change the hold music...

Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor Administration Guide, page 87: "Dependencies are parent-child relationships between network objects that allow you to account for constraints on the network. The constraints can be the result of the design of a specific device, such as interfaces on a switch or a router, or the result…

 Must have been a test. 

Now I've got a real puzzler. I created the UDnP and added it to my Atlas map...but didn't get the results I anticipated. First, the UDnP...the value continuously polled every 5 minutes is "2" - which means, the Operational Status "is or will become inactive." - Operationally down. The Universal Device Poller Status…

Can "Critical" ever be equated to "Down"? I've been looking at the group workaround you suggested, adding both device, polled UDNP status and polled component status, but Group status never turns "Down", it only goes to "Critical"...and "Critical" can't be used to change the color of a line. I can't change Atlas to see…

It is an Application alert. I took a clue and tried this: ${N=SwisEntity;M=ApplicationAlert.ComponentMessage} ${N=SwisEntity;M=ApplicationAlert.StatisticData} But...again, it just put those words in the text of the message.

Here's the MIB. Enjoy. Thanks for the poller.

I haven't installed anything yet - well, I haven't finished installing. I began the install on a clean box, licensed it, and when I started configuration, I hit a snag. It wants its own database. A database different than my main Orion install uses. Ideally, I would like to install SRM which integrates with Orion, so I can…

I can't really use a UNC with an actual UNC "\\server\\share\", because it is not a local drive...it's a mapped share. And WMI doesn't manage mapped shares. That's why I'm trying to do this with a mapped drive, and using a CMD session and DIR on a mapped drive. That's why I'm trying to run a remote script on the box.

@"cnorborg" wrote:First off, values put into both SNMP and WMI counters are generated somehow via algorithm's that tell the SNMP or WMI agent how to report the values back. They could vary quite a bit. SNMP could be averaged over a period of time, while WMI could be "now" values. That was the thinking here, too. The…

Leon - created new post about WMI vs SNMP. Found another Con... https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/SAM-Discussions/WMI-vs-SNMP/m-p/605153#M42840

How would you do it if you were sitting in front of your Redhat box? If you can issue a command from your CLI, you should be able to run a script, parse the output and feed it to a monitor in SAM. They have a remote script template in SAM...

I could use a copy of this report for muted and unmuted. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the input, mfu. I did try this, but instead of providing the desired output, it just put... ${N=SwisEntity;M=ComponentAlert.ComponentMessage} ${N=SwisEntity;M=ComponentAlert.StatisticData} Something I'm doing wrong?

So IBM's Unix Host for SNMP won't cut it? We were using SystemEDGE SNMP for AIX, and it did allow via Spectrum.

Bump.

I think I figured it out. In my script in the interpreter, I included "-ComputerName SRV-CTXCS01". When I removed it, it worked. Also, there were a few errors which were fundamental to the Windows PowerShell script within Orion. For instance, it says right in the template, "A maximum of 10 output pairs can be monitored per…

I don't know if it can be done from a Linux/Unix/AIX. However, the box I need to run it from...the box which uploads these files, that I intend the run the template from...is a Windows box. Besides, the command is not the problem. I can acomplish what I'm after with a single DOS command: dir z: /b/a-d | find /v /c "::"…

Just throwing this out - expired certs? 

Sorry, better than a year later, but have you tried grouping by "[No Grouping]", then going to the very last tab to look? That's where I found mine. 

I downloaded it again, and after removing the security flag on downloaded files, I was able to set it up within APM. I needed it for AIX, which meant that I had to alter it, slightly. Ping output in AIX differs from Linux in two notable ways: Linux: "rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 23/25/33/12 ms" AIX: "round-trip min/avg/max =…

Could I get you to post the script for this, or perhaps a screenshot of the template? I've downloaded this, and for some reason, I can't get the template to add to my SAM 6.2.

Tony, I found your post along with this one (How to monitor check point firewall using NPM ) while looking for a template to monitor my Checkpoints. I notice that this one was posted after that one. That other one has a .poller file, which I haven't been able to figure out how to import yet. Any advice on how to use your…

Nothing? No where? No answer? I've looked, answer seems to be use the SDK but I want to use direct queries. What I've noticed is that the queries don't always match up.

I'd like a report to look like this: Alerts by Department, by Alert Type, by Node, by Action Department - MAINFRAME Alert Type: AVAILABILITY ALERTS - NODE DOWN Node name: AIXBOX1 Action: EMAIL To: MAINFRAME DEPARTMENT Action: EMAIL To: Helpdesk Action: SYSLOG Node name: AIXBOX2 Action: EMAIL To: MAINFRAME DEPARTMENT…
