  • I've seen this happen a few times, and quickly worked around it by either restarting the agent service or initiating a manual poll of the node. I only have a handful of agents however, all agent initiated. It does seem like it was related to reboots, reconfigurations etc., just a hunch though like you said . I'll keep an…

  • Hey aLTeReGo​! Is it possible to update this existing SysObjectID in the database? We have a couple Brocade MLXe-16 chassis' that show up as Brocade FCX648's. 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.3.55.1.2 = Brocade NetIron MLXe-16 Thoughts on getting this, and DC-1603 implemented in the next release of NPM / Orion Core? Thanks!

  • These are not necessarily unknown, but the Machine Type shows as 'Dell Computer Corporation' for all these, vendor shows the same (which is correct.) So if they could be updated appropriately that'd be superb! 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.1.3.19 = Dell EMC S5000 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.1.3.30 = Dell EMC S4048T-ON 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.1.3.22 =…

  • I love the idea but it's not for everyone. Not exactly hidden either -- you did find it after all... It depends on your monitoring needs and network/security setup. I have many firewalls in my environment and not all networks route to one another. That said... the IPAM doesn't support multiple APEs at this time which was a…

  • Hi Rick, A couple ways. Depending on NPM version might decide which one works best for you. First a custom table to do it, certainly the easiest. Add the data source... Then add your columns ('Current Numeric Value' of the UnDP) and Node Name from the Node. Then voila! If that for some reason doesn't work, here's a SWQL…

  • You could add a custom property to the groups, and have it be a list of emails to notify.

Inside the custom property editor, you can actually sort…

  • You can customize the page and add a view limitation for 'Group of Groups' and you should be able to select the groups that you want this dashboard to be limited to, e.g. the dashboard will only show info for x, y, and z groups. That should do it. Do note that this would limit all resources on that specific dashboard to…

  • I'm not so sure SolarWinds reporting could do the color formatting.. but here's a way you could achieve the same separation of your data which might work for you. Set this up quick so you could probably put some TLC into it and make it look better but here you go. Since you have a volume report already you could easily…

  • Interestingly enough … I'm seeing this exact same issue in my environment on the latest NAM 2018.4 HF3, with an Arista DCS-7508. Will see if I can figure out where the issue lies. You didn't happen to figure this out by any chance did you?

  • Best way to determine that quickly would be to monitor that specific OID with something else. A properly created while loop with snmpget could easily help figure this out if you have a Linux system handy. Its even in cygwin too. That's at least how I'd go about it.. something like: while true; do echo "$(date) ...…

  • Even if SolarWinds NPM knew the L2 devices SNMP community string -- it still has no way of knowing that it is in the path unless it operates at L3 at some point in the path, and cooperates with NetPaths traffic.

  • Here's a way that could do it on the 'All Nodes' resource I believe. The benefit of doing it with the method below is it won't ONLY show down nodes. It would sort all by status whatever that may be, up, down, etc. What version of NPM are you running? Also maybe something of a customized (this one's default but you get the…

  • What's the question here?... Dell iDracs support SNMP just like many other devices. As simple as enabling it. Is there something specific you need to monitor that's not in the SolarWinds MIB database or showing up in list resources?
