If you have NCM and backup all your switches with it then you can do it via that module. We do that, but what we haven't tried is to incorporate average or any utilisation in the same report ** ** though thinking about it, it would be easy enough to "Add a Section" and do utilisation through that.

I don't have an answer for your issue, but can I ask what OID's you used in the UnDPs?

There are plenty of bandwidth reports already sat in the Content Exchange area: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/search?q=bandwidth&group=150&category= (this link is a direct search there using bandwidth as the search term). You could grab one of them and see if it provides what you need and then adjust to suit. The only…

We have a similar challenge with our multi-context Cisco ASA's and I suspect the route we will need to take is using Universal Device Pollers (UnDPs). If you've not done this before then welcome to a new world of confusion...…

Here's the approach I take: * ensure the devices are accurately reporting their status for memory and CPU. * then determine the threshold at which I (or various teams) want to be alerted. * then, if different to default [which are typically warn at 80% and trigger at 90%] set the new level in 'Node Thresholds' under the…

So yes, you need the account you log in to the DB app with to have high enough privileges to view the DB. What permissions would very much come down to how your company manages security, but as a starter for 10, have you seen this: https://solarwindscore.my.site.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/SQL-permission?language=en_US 

Have you configured the Aruba with SNMP details yet? You will also need to ensure UDP port 161 is open from Solarwinds to the end node so that SNMP GETs can be actioned. Once both above are in place, then just replicate your SNMP details into this section (and test): As for the alert, then duplicate appropriate Out of the…

We finally upgraded one of our environments to allow me to try this import and I have to say "kudos for getting something out there", but it just doesn't work. Here's one we recently imported: The Node names just appear at random locations and frequently they are beneath the node icon. The names are not connected to the…

The other huge downer for bendy links is being unable to assign interfaces to it.

Typically you would segregate out the end nodes using a Custom Property. This CP is defined by you and can be based on a team name, clients, vendors, or literally anything you can think of. In your code, you'd then use a WHERE clause and target the CP.

I'm not seeing that, and I routinely have >10 tabs open. With the newer Orion Maps, some views don't allow right-click but an extra click with those usually gets you to a point where you can. 

My experience of Message Centre is that the GUI is not very good at displaying much more than about 2k events. This becomes an issue when it gets filled by 1000's of messages like: This happens because engineers configure their devices to send traps, etc but as they aren't in SW it doesn't recognise them. Instead, we…

If you only have NPM then you can only report on interfaces selected in List Resources. If you have NCM, and it has access to all relevant nodes then you can create a report, or a job, to extract information that way.

Ah yes. 'Client' is a custom property of ours. You will either need to remove, rem out or reword to suit a CP of yours. To keep a line but not have it be included, just preface it with --

Right. In which case see the report I linked for an approach. I'm not saying that's the only one, but that works for us with 5 x UnDPs for reporting on Thin APs.

We are on 2024.4.0 and it works for us. Is it for any specific Vendor and Machine Type? Perhaps we have the same and I can check? I also know that in the past I've had issues with listing interfaces and it was due to clock drift on the APE/polling engine they are managed via.

This is a perennial issue and there is no straightforward answer. However, @monitoringlife [THWACK won't let me tag them] configured an alert and shows the details here: Detect a hung server, nonresponding state - he also created a dashboard to show this and that post is a couple above the one I linked. 

Is the report you mention an OOB one as we don't have that? If so, it might be worthwhile sharing that report [in a reply] so that we can see what you are starting with. That said, the other immediate question I have is you say you have set up custom pollers. Here I presume you mean a node custom poller configured via the…

Based on your post [thwack.solarwinds.com/.../326264] in another thread it sounds like you need to update your version of Solarwinds.

Honestly I don't know. Somebody better versed in UnDPs may know but I don't.

Can you share your current query.? It may just need a simple tweak rather than starting from scratch again.

Ahh yes - apologies. That one was written in SQL but glad you got it working.

Looking at UnDPs in our environment earlier today, I tend to forget that there's a 'keep historical data' option listed. Is it as simple as un-setting that option, polling and then re-setting it?

So, you can do this but it is a two step process. You need to create a UnDP (and assign it) to extract the serial numbers from the WLC. The second step is you need to then create a custom SWQL report to list the details out. For Cisco WLC's the OID we've been using is: 1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.2.1.1.17 - so go and create your…

Yes.2024.2.1 [as mentioned in my post above] is a confirmed fix for this. I can also confirm in 2024.4 that it still works.

There is the "Availability & Response Time" widget, or you could use the "Availability Statistics" widget, or you could use teh "Percent Availability" widget. It greatly depends on how you want to see the data represented. The final option is to use the "Custom Query" widget and write your own query.

I think you need to first step back and take a huge breath! Then you need to assess and document the alerts you do have - sadly there is no one report that will tell you what each alert will trigger on/for. What we have done is to create a report for when each alert last triggered and if you do the same you may find you a…

Am I missing the obvious here? All you need to do is open the "export project" CSV and then do a 'save as' to an XLXS format. In terms of any graph, you would need to create that by selecting and graphing the data.

It sounds like you might be running a slightly older version of Solarwinds and the node you are connecting to is running a newer IOS resulting in a cipher mismatch. Backstory: Vendors tend to update their ciphers far quicker than SW whom have been behind the times. But if running v2024.2.1 or higher, then I believe that…

I can't really help, but in our setup the syslog table in the DB is empty. To me that says you'll need to find where the information you want has moved to, and JOIN that instead.
