Most of your "suggested" additional alerts would be considered noise to our environments. Unless you have explicit SLA's or contractual requirements for the above suggestions then my opinion (for what it is worth) is forget them. For example. Utilisation thresholds should, to my mind, be 100% in a report. Or at least not…

I'm no S(W)QL guru but sharing what you've tried already would be a great aid to those that are.

Sorry, but that's just nuts. 99% of the auto-generated links we have/had are interfaces. If the node is down, then the interface will also be down, and as such, the map should depict that. Network Atlas behaved that way, so why would a newer product from the same company not behave the same way? No answer actually required…

I saw the opening post about it coming … and then there was this that appeared a day or so later.

Perfect. Diolch yn fawr.

I've never won a prize but I do like to try and complete the questions. For me, it's about trying to get all the right answers, and sometimes that used to mean I'd do 5 answers in one day to play catchup. If I'm off, on training, sick or some personal crisis going on (and boy do I) then knowing I'm not forced to turn up…

@mariefab / @John.Summers As someone who comes here almost daily, then I didn't see the mission announcement until today - a week late. And thus can't even attempt to complete all the questions. As others keep saying, the unlocks aren't viable for those of us that have busy work lives, and in my case an extremely busy and…

Can you share the UnDP itself? And also a screenshot of your current alert config would be helpful? If so I'll see if I can replicate it and test at my side.

@mariefab same here ..?

Additionally where can I see my total accumlitive points That would be on your profile page Jeremy. Or at least that's where I see mine. Current points are in the list and quite small, but accumulative are just below the 'About Me' section.

p.s. not overly bothered about missing out on points, but getting the unique badges then I'm all in.

Shame - I've been away and busy elsewhere so have now completely missed Monday and Tuesday so my progress looks like this: Usually I do come daily to see if there are any queries I can assist with and do the mission alongside it. Always loved the fact that I could play catchup when time suited me. This approach means I, a…

This new platform feels extremely not polished. Oh, and don't get me started on the woes of the "new" mapping setup. I've shouted long and loud about it, and a lot of my suggestions have now been implemented but sadly not all. it works for 1 way but the other way creates a 2 way link. And one of the reasons I never add…

you assign "Egress" or "Ingress", You only need to assign egress and ingress when you create a link to a node that you do not monitor. Such as a WAN link. See my screenshot where the left hand side does not have an node to link with, but in this case it is just an image of a cloud… Essentially so long as one is in and one…

Shame… I see SWI fixed part of the problem with unmanaging nodes but not all of it from the GUI. And they seem to keep doing this… announce X is being deprecated launch Y as it's replacement but not all of the functionality of X. I know we are now in a world of AI, but expecting everyone to have unlimited access to it or…

Time to raise an incident with support - they are best placed to help with upgarde issues.

However, in Intelligent Maps, there does not appear to be an option to do this. Absolutely you can do this. First, select the two nodes you want to link (N.B. shift select does not work - either Ctrl select or drag and select) and then from the toolbar at the top select this icon Having done that click the configure button…

Thanks Bala - I will need to read and re-read this a few times to make sure I fully understand it but it does sound like a solution has been found. It will be interesting to try this out "in the wild".

so NCM may misclassify it as a Wireless Controller. Out of the box IT IS a Wireless Controller. This is not an incorrect identification issue, it is purely a human issue. The fact that you, or I are not using it as a wireless controller does not stop it from being one. To fix, it is simply a matter of, as several posts…

Can you share your report setup? VLan is just another type of interface so shouldn't have an issue.

I'd not heard of AKIPS before so just spent a few minutes finding out. As to your query - via UnDPs is the answer. As @bobmarley reply points out this will save him that effort.

This deserves to be celebrated with a Haiku. Earlier, stalled rewards, now systems run, store returns, effort seen at last

As a part of creating your UnDP you get the "where to display" page. I usually tick the box for the vital stats page as I find the default Node Details page can get overloaded. Once on the relevant page, you need to add a widget that will show your data. From memory, as I'm not in front of one of my environments right now,…

First things first - can SWI see the pools? Easiest way to check that is if you go to one of your F5 node details page and then add the "List of Pools" widget if not already added. Next, in the alert builder, set your "I want to alert on" to one of these: And then your trigger status to something like:

You don't say what the SD-Wan device is nor what version of SWI you are on. But, here's the "what" page for what 2024.2 and newer should be able to see: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/npm/content/npm-aruba-sdwan.htm

apologies - duplicate post

SWI needs to have SNMP access, and the end node also needs to support the specific requests. You mention it isn't finding it via API but you didn't share your API request? FWIW - Aruba is a part of the HPE "environment" and like HPE then depending on the specific end device they don't always have everything enabled.

The couple of times I've taken the exam, then the questions have varied greatly from theory to hands on, with percentages of each being different each time. To answer your specific questions: all of the topics in the study guide - https://solarwindscore.my.site.com/SuccessCenter/s/scp-npm-exam-guide?language=en_US (you'll…

Sounds like a decent idea, but you'd likely get more response/traction if you post this over in the NPM section. Also, perhaps flesh out the idea a bit more as my take is that it sounds a bit confusing right now.

As @naveensingh43 says, you can create a report and you can also include any Custom Properties if you wish, not just default node attributes.
