Thank you. As it happens, between asking that question and seeing your reply I have now been on an 'intro to SOLW' course and alerting / reporting logic was one key query I was looking to get answered, I didn't share the query due to confidentiality reasons but you managed to work out what I was after so, thank you. Then…

Thank you kindly - more stuiff for me to read from your good self Love that template idea and will definitely look to incorporate that.
-
So, eventually by continuing to prod at this beast I found the answer myself. The variabel I needed was as simple as this: ${N=SwisEntity;M=Name}
-
Ah ha - that looks like what is needed. Thank you so much.

Hi and thank you - I should have been clearer in my use of the term mapping, and to be honest, wasn't even considering heatmaps. It would probably be better described as "laying out" the network as there is no (at least none that I have been advised of) requirment to heatmap these devices. I also don't think there's any…
-
Apologies - should have been a bit clearer I guess. SW is already installed, deployed, configured. I'm the grunt who's main role will be to populate the content into it. SE? Senior Engineer?
-
OK - so, that makes sense. I guess the proces would be - scan the controller - then scan the site and when creating the maps drag in the necessary devices. It's just those words in the guide were confusing

With regards to my last two points ... An add in image remains editable for size and sits behind nodes until it is linked to another node. At which point it loses ability to edit size and to sit "behind" nodes.

Ugh - pivot just makes me think of Excel and I don't understand it there either I really need to find time to start digging in to and learning SWQL / SQL
-
However - if someone knows how to extract just the info I want then I'm open to ideas / advice / etc ...

Google is friend = true FOR so long as you know what to search on Thank you kindly.

Hi Rick and thanks for the response... Yes, I (and the others) are aware of those icons but as you point out they are on the node page. I guess I missed out the key driver in my initial post in that we would like to be able to do this from any page and not drill down to the node page. I've hit upon a compromise for myself…
-
Thank you Adam - most helpful and insightful.
-
Thank you for this and the tip about group creation order. As with my other post, I know I need to dig into this but all I need is time
-
Thanks for the reply and yes, indeed you can and, perhaps I should have been clearer with my post....! I was looking specifically to be able to schedule regular up / down (or on / off) of monitoring which is something maintenance mode doesn't do. It will do a 'one off' but not repeat it daily / weekly / etc...

Hi and thanks for the response - both pages provide great information and even expand on my understanding. What neither page does is provide an answer to our issue. I need to understand how to get Solarwinds to see and report on the free (aka available) memory rather than 'used & available' memory. So from my screenshot…
-
Thank you and I appreciate the reply. One of the "hoped for" drivers from using Solarwinds was the removal of reliance on multiple spreadsheets.... in some areas it has defibnitely improved our management and workflow but in other areas complicated it. This is one such As to making changes to use static IPs, etc then I'm…
-
Thank you JaroslawLadyga - It's unlikley to be the template, I think, as we have over 2,000 of these devices scanned in; it appeared to be just the 'larger stacks' of them that were having an issue. And in the end my suspicion that it was purely for stacks of 4 or more was incorrect and in fact, it was just this one stack…

Just asking since u mentioned it takes time to complete on the setup... did u verify if complete access is given on switch to your solarwinds server for snmp poll... Latency is good as is SNMP access. There are over 2000 devices deployed all…

Hi Adam and thanks for the replies. I should have said that we are using the right APE and initially I thought that was my issue.... however, it seems to be an issue with mass additions as I tried to edit 5 of them to go from ICMP to SNMP and it also failed. However, take any one of those 5 IPs and change it individually…

Most useful - thank you jrouviere
-
Ah right, understood - thanks for the speedy reply
-
Thank you. I thought I'd clicked on Data Source but clearly not. Now I have a way forward.
-
Thank you.
-
Thanks David ... it's that bit about 'setting an alert' that I'm either not understanding or trying to over-complicate. If I drag one of the LAP's on to a group map does that automatically monitor up / down? If so, then I'll go get my coat
-
OK thanks for this ... I suspected there wouldn't be a direct solution... so to speak.
-
That's the bunny I need - thank you very much. Not sure why I couldn't find it before.
-
I'm not sure how to answer your point other than to restate that: ...when we use ConnectNow in Atlas to map the links it discovers and adds them. To prove this we hover over them it shows the links - in this example Gig 1/0/50 to Gig 1/0/49. But those same interfaces do not show up within NPM when we hover over the same…

>> Other (comment below) Absolutely our biggest headache was understanding certain facts: * Solarwinds isn't as easy to start using as it is made out to be.* certainly true if you expect it to do everything you've been used to from another tool * You absolutely need someone(s) that understand and can use:* Powershell * SQL…
