  • I too... got foolishly hit by this. 1st support case found that the administration service disappeared on the primary HA engine (causing a failover) -- no RCA. We manually reinstalled and got it back up and running. 2nd support case after 3 months went by, no changes to my environment, saw the exact same thing...…
  • I'd open up a support case on this one to start.
  • In the newer versions of NPM / Orion, they added the ability to change the default node status calculation. It's called Enhanced Node Status. Once it's enabled it allows you to customize what child objects affect the parent nodes' status under Settings --> Node Status Contributors. I can't say for certain if that includes…
  • Well welcome! Ping latency as you're referring, uses a special networking protocol called ICMP. Latency, is a general term that references round trip time -- or RTT. It measures the time it takes to get from point-A (your laptop or game system) to point-B and back, usually via an ICMP packet when in the networking world…
  • I see two different IP addresses, so something to consider is possible differences between the nodes (firmware, configuration etc.). Looking in the description of each, it does look as though that may be the case. Often devices don't support certain OIDs or publish the correct OIDs so Orion can correctly identify the…
  • I'd suggest creating a ticket on this.. however some quick triage in the 'C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion\OrionWebPdf.log' may shed light on the issue you're having.
  • Very nice!
  • Uhhhhhmm. Wow. Just fantastic! Thank you!!
  • Clearly the dev teams have been hard at work... can’t wait to start seeing some of these improvements. Nice work and thank you!
  • Is the router configured to send severity 5 (notice) syslog messages to Orion, and are you seeing other syslog messages from this router in Orion?
  • I used to have issues with some of my agents some years ago. Turned out I was hitting some bugs but that may not be your case and I’ve not had issues since. Not a heavy agent user though so just throwing my 2 cents out there. Are there any notable differences between the communication of the agent for this trouble group of…
  • Unfortunately there’s no migration path much like upgrading to the newer versions of NTA. Worth asking support as this may have changed you never know but here’s the feature comparison of the legacy syslog/trap to the new LA/OLV. It still notes that filtering by message type isn’t supported. If you go to create a rule does…
  • Hi @"LS2728" , Is it PaloAlto, Cisco, etc. etc.? I think that'd depend on the VPN solution you're trying to monitor. Also if the solution publishes that data into SNMP, or an API that it has. Some of the latest versions of NPM I believe do have native integration with VPN data. I don't monitor any VPN's myself but thought…
  • If I'm reading this correctly... the services that you're monitoring are a Windows and Linux system? Assuming the engine or server agent doing the actual netpath polling of the services is windows (as mentioned above, Linux agents don't support netpath currently)... This could be an issue with the winpcap / npcap…
  • Do the timezones of the polling engine and the SQL server match?
  • I don't believe there's a way to mute alerts / unmanage routing neighbors. You can mute and unmanage the interface but I doubt that would stop the routing neighbors down alert from firing. My bet is as you said, you'll need to build this into the scope, or trigger of the alert by creating a copy of the alert (if it's the…
  • Wanted to follow up on this, as that was something I initially wanted to do when I set this DR / HA environment up. Unfortunately for political reasons that are no longer a problem I had to utilize other means (at the time) to update the record. Today, I did finally update to using TSIG and it makes my world so much…
  • Hi Jim, Have you configured the snmp-server on the srx345 itself? Configuring SNMP traps and syslog on the srx345 to be sent to the Orion server, or for that matter forwarded to the Orion server is not the same as configuring an snmp-server on it. This is something that gets commonly misunderstood about the SNMP protocol…
  • Adding this link for reference: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/NPM/Content/NPM-Monitor-Load-Balancers.htm It might be worth trying an snmpwalk against the F5 to see what comes of it, and verify that SNMP is functioning and/or providing the right OIDs. It does look as though there is a requirement to…
  • Updated this comment 9.19.2020 to include improvements on the queries. This is all some very nice work. Just wanted to add some clarity here as there's two outstanding issues I've seen. Both of which have actually been addressed here and there through the thread. 1- Query from report returns some errors 2- Query returning…
  • That would be something at the SMTP server you're using. If your SMTP server/relay is internal to your company they may have a bunch of restrictions around how you can send email through it, typically for security reasons. Really depends on how whomever set it up, configured it to allow incoming mail etc. etc.. Wishing the…
  • Status and response time - Status: Is the node up/down (can Orion ping it w/icmp or poll via SNMP) - Response time: The average RTT (round-trip-time) of icmp/ping to this node EnergyWise - The community can keep me honest but I *think* this is either power consumption data, or energy saving data on a Cisco switch.. not…
  • Yup the variables will certainly change (as I'm sure we all have our own use case.) Much of it depends on your reference point (your alert) and what type of entity you're alerting on (group, node, application, volume etc..) Some examples.. Custom property applied to group, alerting on group:…
  • This is pretty cool... However, how would one update this if the file doesn't exist at all in C:\inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\Controls\, on an existing installation of NPM 12.0.1?
  • Note - I cannot vouch for this functioning in versions lower than NPM v12.1. Try this... ${N=SwisEntity;M=CustomProperties.GroupContactEmail} My custom property that is applied to the groups is named g_contacts, so my variable I put in the 'To:' section is ${N=SwisEntity;M=CustomProperties.g_contacts} I've been using this…
  • While I can't speak for older versions -- as I'm utilizing NPM v12.1 now, this does indeed work for Groups currently. Works well I might add. For the lesser cared about environments I apply a custom property to the group and simply alert on the status of the group. FYI GoldTipu​.
  • Just wow. Thanks KMSigma, I was just thinking how in the world am I going to remember which nodes I muted... just muted some today. Certainly going to put this report to use tomorrow. Great work.
  • How I have not seen this thread yet is crazy. Fantastic work wluther and all folks who contributed. Definitely will be using this, execs or going to love it.
  • Nice! That is indeed a trial though with AerisWeather, correct?
