  • The top screenshot is device pollers - I'm talking about UnDPs.
  • I know I can either add a node via the UnDP 'tool' (very painful process) or I can 'Assign pollers' from the manage nodes / entities but this is about looking down the line after the UnDP has been created and initially assigned, to a new node of same vendor/etc gets added, but also gets missed for adding the UnDP to. And…
  • If I understand, you want a report to show all the interfaces (ports) in your network. This should be straightforward enough BUT it will only show the interfaces you have discovered [aka that are monitored]. To put it another way, if you have 48 port switch and you only monitor 5 interfaces, then you will only get those 5.…
  • But fix what issue... You haven't provided any information for folks to advise on. Show us the query? Tell us what you've tried? (step by step)
  • Almost certainly due to weak / old ssh ciphers in your version of Solarwinds and your end devices are running newer versions. The answers are: * Update to 2024.2.1 to get latest ciphers built in. * Downgrade end node ciphers to weaker ones. Or you can read this: SSH - Connection Refused Cipher Updates - An F.Y.I. where I…
  • It looks to me as if you are running a SQL query? The advice from Solarwinds has always been (where feasible) to use a SWQL query instead using the API. Their reasoning being is that the DB Schema can and does change, but the API (ie using SWQL) will just reference the new or renamed tables. At least, that's my…
  • It sounds like you are talking about creating a device poller so that when you go to the node details page it shows OS versions, etc... I don't have an answer for you, but this sub-forum is dedicated to NCM and your query would sit better in the [mention:5ead648511384d829046fcc7d3f86b50:23b05a61c3e5445190d9bfa00453bce4]…
  • I'd suggest a feature request posted here: Network Configuration Manager (NCM) Feature Requests would be the best way forward with this. 
  • I've just posted about this here: SSH - Connection Refused Cipher Updates - An F.Y.I. This is absolutely one o a combination of three issues: * You aren't on the latest Solarwinds or have the buddy drop installed * Your FortiOS is v7 and higher * If 1 is not true (i.e. you are on 2024.2.1) then are you are using an edited…
  • What tweak(s)? It would be useful if you can tell us what you are looking to achieve, or what your template looks like now, or even if you are even successfully backing them up at all? We have various models newer and older than yours that we are backing up, so I might be able to help.
  • There have been some issues with the device pollers in recent versions of Solarwinds as they were broken in one of the recent upgrades. If you are on (IIRC) anything from late 2023 to 2024.2 then at least one or more of those versions was affected. It might be as simple as you need to update to 2024.2.1 which I can confirm…
  • TLDR: The answer is to either use the default template or add the two lines above to your device template.
  • Presumably you are using a Custom Query widget ... What's the query inside that?
  • Interesting. I upgraded two different environments last week (both are HA setups) but didn't see this and neither can I find that entry in the file. Wonder what's different about your environment to get this - hmmm?
  • Hey Cheryl ... I take your point but no other vendor does that and if you look at one of the market leaders [at least originally] in certs i.e. Cisco, then their product frequently changes beyond all recognition, at least in what they are testing, Their exams have always stacked and one has always renewed all. The CCNA…
  • Interesting. I've never considered this approach before so will have to find some time to read up and see what's what. OOI, what does the output look like when run this way?
  • Yes. It will either be one file or one eMail [or both] with all the switches listed one after the other. As I say, I tend import the text file into Excel and use that to parse the data initially. I did have a colleague that wrote a clever script to parse text output to what he needed.
  • Hi Michal - you should be able to do this. The issue I have with NCM Compliance is that you can't get it to send results to a mailbox or run a report. Secondly, it only gives you a broad yes/no type approach rather than saying SW1 is OK but SW2 isn't. In this case, it is way less elegant, but I would run an NCM job. These…
  • My understanding is that PA's don't have a startup config per se. I also wouldn't call the candidate config a startup as it is [again AIUI] a direct copy of the running with any potential edits that haven't been committed yet. In strict terms of startup when in a Cisco world, then it is the config that gets loaded after a…
  • Still there for me - here's a screen grab of it:
  • Add this: WHERE AE.AuditEventMessage LIKE '%logged%' to the bottom to just return the login attempts.
  • Our report is this: SELECT AE.AuditEventID ,AE.AuditingActionType.ActionTypeDisplayName AS [Audit Action] ,AE.AccountID ,AE.AuditEventMessage AS [Audit Event] ,AE.TimeLoggedUtc FROM Orion.AuditingEvents AS AE And then we just use the reports capability to set today, last 24hrs, last week, etc N.B. This does NOT restrict to…
  • Yup 100% this is what we do, and IMO works far better than trying to configure an alert for it.
  • The base principle here is: "If the data is in the DB then you should be able to extract it". We use a fairly simple query that runs in a report to show the last x days of audit events. This is not because we are being all 'big brother' about it, but the audit logs stores a lot more info than just logins or outs.. However,…
  • This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing Marcin.
  • Not 100% sue I follow your query... and apologies if this is teaching you to suck eggs.. For SNMP you need to configure the end node for SNMP and then enable snmp monitoring of the node under 'edit properties' of the node(s). SNMP will then do its poll cycle (based on your poll cycle settings) and if a fault / issue is…
  • Hey Adam. We already have a custom property that uniquely identifies each client. All I've done is create a bunch of modern dashboards showing Top X for CPU or Interfaces etc and narrowed it down to only search for nodes where the CP = That specific client. An example from top 10 percent of memory used is: SELECT TOP 10…
  • We don't use the combination you seek, but take a look at this example Overall Node Status Dashboard provided by Ben Keen. That definitely uses status and vendor icons in an MD setting. OK - so he hasn't used a traditional column called status, but the node name itself is showing the status. It would be trivial to add a…
  • I have taken an SCP - mostly because I got a free one as a perk of being an MVP. But let me share my thoughts around SCPs and a little bit about me and exams in general.... * it isn't a recognised qualification in the UK. * within my International based company it gains no recognition nor reward for passing it. * If I'd…
  • How are you looking to do/present this? Presenting icons won't work in a SWQL query directly within SWQL studio, but it should work when in a report or a modern dashboard for example.
