Been away on holidays and I'm just catching up to all the questions. Cool prizes! Hopefully one day I'll be eligible to win one

Nice video!! Love it.

Nicely written, totally agree with what you've said.

That was a good read and a good outcome.

This looks like an upgrade well worth doing! Thanks for the hard work!

@"sturdyerde" let us know what happens

I haven't had any issues with the spamming software. I mustn't write any controversial I'll have to start

No you don't need to remove the old ones. They get automatically removed when you add in the HCO license.

I use this to display it in days, hours and minutes Node was down for ${SQL:Select '${N=Alerting;M=Downtime}'/1440} Days ${SQL: Select '${N=Alerting;M=Downtime}'%1440/60} Hours ${SQL: Select '${N=Alerting;M=Downtime}'%1440%60;} Minutes

Compliance report will do what you are looking for. It's all configured in the Rules section.

Sounds like a bug. There's a new version out so you could try that or log a support ticket.

Unfortunately I don't know. I only know of restoring the whole thing onto a test bed and grab the map you need.

I've just added this widget to my UPS view and I can see all the values. Try updating the IOS version on the UPS network card

Unfortunately it is gone and only recoverable from a backup. They would've got a warning that they are about to delete a map and that it will be removed from any widgets displaying it.

I'm happy to be involved. I've only just switched to self-hosted and was just using the free Log Viewer up until now.

What compliance report are you talking about? What information did this compliance report give you?

Are you meaning a new vendor name in the Vendor list? If so, create a new poller in Manage Pollers. In there set the Vendor name and then poll the devices in question using the new poller. They will them appear under the new Vendor name.

It appears that you can't do that. You can only see the results appear on the alarm bell

Yes you can https://www.itmanageworks.com/Network-Configuration-Manager.asp#:~:text=SolarWinds%20NCM%20can%20be%20used,health%20indicators%20alongside%20performance%20statistics.

I don't know of one and I don't have CUCM to test. It seems these are normally managed by Solarwinds VNQM documentation.solarwinds.com/.../vnqm-adding-cisco-callmanager-devices-to-voip-and-network-quality-manager-sw17.htm But you should be able to write a custom device template if you have details on how to save the config…

I don't have a best practice for this. I use syslog alerting to give me the details I need.

Post up the conditions you are using in your alert.

That variable is for the email alert. https://solarwindscore.my.site.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/OLV-syslog-or-trap-messages-are-not-in-alert-messages?language=en_US Can you please share some screenshots on what you are trying to achieve?

I agree. NCM compliance report is your best bet.

You can't do it with the build in options. You could create a custom property and fill out the hardware details in it. You can then group on that custom property.

Have you tried to ping the device from the solarwinds poller that this node is on?

You could just add a description to the switch port that the AP is plugged into such as "Access Point". Then write an interface down alert that looks for the "Access Point" description. In your alert just show which node is alerting.

You could use the NCM compliance option to push out changes to only ports that don't have "switchport mode trunk" configured on them.

We too use SHA1 and AES128 to monitor PA's via SNMP 3. I use these setting in the GUI I'm monitoring PA-850's and PA-1410's
