I don't know the firewall in question, but if you can SSH to it and can run a CLI command that lists out the config, then you should be able to build a template. This is a great page to start with if you haven't seen it:…

Ahh sorry - didn't see that bit about separate months. Then I can only suggest adding data blocks (in a report) for each month you want and adjust your script to grab the month 6, then 5, etc.

You would need to add an external trap server... from memory you would go: Design > Network Settings > Telemetry. Double checking by logging in to our CatCentre shows me:

Pretty sure there isn't a way to do this at the sensor level. You'd, as I understand it, need to mute the aspect it is attached to. So, for example, an interface.

<span class="hljs-keyword">Have you tried:</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">WHERE</span> TIMESTAMP <span class="hljs-operator">>=</span> DATEADD(<span class="hljs-keyword">MONTH</span>, <span class="hljs-number">-6</span>, GETDATE()) <span class="hljs-keyword"></span>

I don't have an answer for you, but in this post: SolarWinds NCM Connector for Cisco Smart Advisor - URL wsgx.cisco.com not working @"girish.matti" says that functionality is due to be deprecated in the near future.

It would be useful to know what the error is... but when I get odd NCM issues my first step is always to enables a 'trace'. https://solarwindscore.my.site.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Generate-session-trace-logs?language=en_US 

Sorry, not a clue, but dig around inside SWQL Studio to see where they might be stored. With N PM, you could alternatively fire up UnDP Editor and create a UnDP that points at the OID that stores that. If you've never done that before then check this as a…

I suggest you install a copy of SWQL Studio, copy/paste the above and then play around to see what you get. For example, in our primary environment if I run the above 'as is' then I get 610 results. If I remove the filters (the WHERE and AND's) and the TOP 1000 then I get 208K results. It really depends on what you are…

Hi, I haven't got an answer to your query, but firstly this is better asked in the more general NPM section: [mention:5ead648511384d829046fcc7d3f86b50:23b05a61c3e5445190d9bfa00453bce4] rather than in the backup module section. Also, do consider that this is a forum that whilst it encourages all sorts of questions, it is…

Just in case anybody else only has access to NCM then you could extract the stack serial numbers using this approach: SWQL Code: SELECT TOP 1000 ep.node.NodeCaption, ep.EntityName, ep.EntityDescription, ep.Serial, ep.Manufacturer, ep.Model, ep.EntPhysicalIndex FROM NCM.EntityPhysical AS ep WHERE (ep.EntPhysicalIndex =…

Op did say they don't have access to NPM. Doesn't this report use that?

We use a custom SQL alert for just this. The beauty is that you can adjust the parameters to suit your environments or requirements. But see this thread for details: How to create an alert for Network Device Flapping

I can confirm that we have (about 10 mostly PA-3xxx series) Palo Alto Firewalls that we monitor via one of our SW instances, and all use SNMP v3. We did create our own device template for NCM, but from a SW side of things that was pretty much it. I am not able to talk about the PA side as that isn't my area of expertise,…

We have loads of Fortinet devices - all their models are correctly identified. e.g. or The trick is that you have to create a Device Poller (All Settings ? Node & Group Mgmt > Manage Pollers). The problem with creating your own is that you have to go and find approx 7 or 8 different OIDs for various aspects from SysName to…

Yes. Just use the discovery wizard, enter the range or IPs and when you get to the 'Monitoring Settings' tab select yes.

If you can access the devices CLI using SSH, then NCM should be able to support them. What you will likely need to do is create your own 'device template'. I note that there are already shared a few Huawei ones [https://thwack.solarwinds.com/search?q=Huawei&group=126] - try them and adapt as necessary. I couldn't see any…

I would open a support ticket, or at the very least engage a DBA if you have one.

I've long used the Paessler SNMP Tester tool for testing. It even comes in a portable format so you don't have to install it.

Neither am I a coder. Most of what I have done has been cobbled together and by asking around. What I can tell you is that the above code works (in SQL) in our environment. Things you might need to adjust at your end are: removing the references to NPM.Client or adjusting to suit your setup. Also, any Custom Poller name…

Hey apologies for no reply but I didn't get a notification. That said, your use of CASE is beyond my skill set for SQL or SWQL so all I can do is leave it and hope its right :) Looking at our InterfaceTable in DB Manager shows that there is no entry called InterfaceName but that entry does exist in the Interfaces table. I…

I can't answer the how the calculation is done as I didn't write the software. For that you will need to approach your Customer Service Manager or open a support ticket and ask that way..

Hmm, elegant. No, I don't think so but then I guess that comes down to what you define as elegant. But I digress. It sounds to me like you already have your solution, you just need to implement it in some manner. One thing I didn't say about our Priority CP is that we have separate alerts for P2, P3 and P4 [as an aside, we…

I haven't, but it will be the same process as creating any other custom poller. * Pick you technology (Node details / CPU / etc * Select a node to test against * Name, etc the poller The tough bit will be this: * Find OIDs for the following: For that last, then other than the manufacturer or an SNMP Walk, I like and…

So we have a report that does this for Thin APs. It's pretty basic but if you can code (I can't) then you should be able to reverse engineer this to do what you need. Code is: /* Query to get AP Information from the Controllers through the use of UnDPs, because APs are not nodes in Solarwinds but an extra to the…

Do you use priority or alert levels at all? We have a node Custom Property call ed Priority. It has 5 levels from Priority_1 to 5. 5 effectively means ignore. Anyway, we then assign a specific P level to each and every node. We also went a step further for some clients and have P levels on interfaces. We then output as…

To add to @"mark.gover" comment, for v7 and up you may also need to do a number of other things. First and foremost, your version of SW must be at least 2024.2.1. Anything prior to this required a buddy drop but that is likely no longer available and you'd just be advised to update. Secondly, you will need to make some…

My gut feeling, and this coming from a non-coder that hacks stuff together, is that you will need to do this in two reports. You can JOIN NCM tables to Node tables but I think getting all the data you want in to one report might be a tad messy, when a couple would be the better approach. We do exactly this. We have one…

Status - as in did it backup or not? Then try this report: which can also be used in a modern dashboard: NCM Backup Job Config Status Alternatively, we have a report I created that shows only failures: NCM Backup Failures and Reason (- All Clients) for this one you would probably need to edit out the custom properties.…

We run the modular variant of Solarwinds (I am so confused by naming conventions these days!!!) and that option is very much there for us in 2024.4.0 As a workaround, you could try using this and insert your server name/IP as appropriate (also save as a bookmark): YOUR_SERVER_HERE/.../DeviceTemplatesManagement.aspx Longer…
