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.

Pretty sure this isn't possible unless you want to go and create individual template pages for every group you have. I'd suggest you use the newer 'Intelligent Map' widget and add your own map as a backdrop. And as with Network Atlas widget you can configure the widget to select the map dynamically based on various options…

Try the tips from this page: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/ncm/content/ncm-basic-commands.htm It states:…

Here's the code [below the screenshot] for a widget that shows interfaces that are down where a node is up. The JOINs here were to pull in a specific custom properties and the widget in use looks like this: SELECT Nodes.NodeID , Nodes.Caption as NodeName , Nodes.GroupStatus , i.InterfaceID , i.Caption , i.Status AS…

Then I think you probably need to raise a support call. p.s. the widget is called Orion Map because that's what we re-labelled it to be. We still run network atlas maps as well as we have (quite literally) 1000's of them. The actual widget when you are looking to add it, is this:

Brain has unfogged - they are called 'navigation properties'. See here An Adventure Into Modern Dashboarding: Introduction to SWQL Studio for details if unfamiliar with them, and scroll down to: Leveraging Navigation Properties 

Hi ... 1. Yes you can use JOIN's but as this si SWQL you will more than likely find your JOINs can be replaced with linked entities (not the official term but my brain is fogged right now). They look like this in SWQL Studio: 2. No. But there are plenty of examples which you could "borrow". See here: Modern Dashboards

I've responded to your other identical question.

Ah yes - there's still a little bug that exists. You have to remove the map widget. Reload the page (or go to another one that uses the same widget) and then re-add the widget. Also, ensure you have the following set: And finally make sure that your map name precisely matches the group name.

Bottom of the post you will see this: Click on the name to download it and then import via manage reports.

There is no way to retain the historical configs in the DB if you delete the device. What we do is also have the configs exported as well and we can then retain the physical copied as individual text files.

Hi, First off this is the NCM group and you request would probably be better asked in NPM. That said, I have found on the whole that auto-dependencies work just fine 'on the whole'. However, when they go wrong they are usually spectacularly wrong. Pretty sure there is a report you can run that will show you your…

Not weighing anything... literally sitting on the fence here Let's put my thinking another way. I don't like the idea of flood monitoring. You end up with waaaaay too many alerts for irrelevancies. The only situation, when using SW software, that I could countenance the idea is if we/the client didn't have NCM backing up…

You, as I've seen suggested elsewhere, need to start learning how to navigate and use the tool at your hands. That said, this is simply a matter of creating a report graph and setting your query to a specific IP (or node name) and interface. e.g.: And then select the data you want to present, somethign like: Finally, you…

That said, we provide this to some of our clients as this is what they wanted... We also do a peak b/w version of the above, and then provide this for the month:

If it doesn't meet their needs then you need to ask them what they are expecting? Without knowing what they are wanting, how can you possibly start to set up a report?

Is this a new APE or existing? If new, are all relevant ports open and an appropriate route in place for the traffic? If existing, what's changed?

That sound much more like you need to use dependencies. e.g. Router at Site x goes down, and all other nodes are dependent on it so they get marked as unavailable. If this isn't your desired outcome then you'll be looking at scripting as Adam suggests.

We rarely use the compliance aspect, but the report you talk about will simply select anything branded Cisco and include it. For you to have any control, you would need to re-create your own report and include/exclude what you want. Personally, I found this short article…
