Personally, I'd push back at support. We have 100's of "Intelligent Maps" maps using mostly manual links BUT have never witnessed any automatic links disappearing? Sounds like a cop-out to me. @"jvb" and/or @"chad.every" - have you heard anything about this?

I would suggest stepping back and extracting the SWQL code from your trigger condition. To do that, click the downward arrow (top right) and display the SWQL. Then copy/paste this into SWQL Studio and run. You might need to adjust the WHERE, but if you get the output you expect then you are starting in the right place.

Not sure what you mean by DNA Info, but if it's just a show ver you need, then you can do this with a "job" [My Dashboard > Network Config > Jobs]. Also, just to point out, that an NCM backup is literally the output of a show ver. That said: go to the above jobs link and create a new job. On the first screen make sure to…

There are some pre-reqs you need such as ensuring relevant ports are open, etc but there are two basic approaches. You can either add via the API e.g. The alternative approach is to configure SNMP on the devices and allow "pass through" and then just add them as nodes direct to Solarwinds.

Hey Adam, For point 1 (and I'm presuming you mean Intelligent Maps [ugh]) the only answer I can see is to untick the auto-connects and do them all manually. I've long asked for an option to be able to have auto-connects that I can delete rather than an all or nothing approach. The other approach I take is, and this…

Nice - happy to have helped you in the right direction.

From a fellow MVP, I am aware that a CSM has advised that there are "known issues with 2025.1" and that they are working on a hotfix [2025.1.1]. As such, it might be worth opening a support ticket to get that confirmed.

Yeah, this is what I was meaning by scripting it.

I've thought some more, and the only other option I can think of is to do it via scripting.

Is there any commonality between the failing nodes? e.g. are they all one make & model or the same level of OS or recently upgraded? That might be an avenue to investigate. However, the fact that a stop/start of services appears to briefly work suggests either an underlying SW issue or you need to split out your job. We…

I had to change your custom property to match one of ours. Then as a test I rem'd out the WHERE i.interfaceName LIKE 'Vlan48' and got a lot of results. So, at least we know the base script works. Now, I am no S(W)QL expert by any stretch, but I wonder if the use of LIKE and no %'s is somehow confusing the logic. You could…

 @"dsallago" why the down vote? I asked a clarifying question and provided a means for you to gather more information on what is (or isn't ) happening. Both practical and useful - but no worries, I won't bother trying to help you ever again. 

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.
