Change it to 0. I believe the timer is based on your session.

It sounds like the link is smaller in size that the interface. Use the bandwidth statement to set the size of the link. That will then determine the "100%" setting.

Set the time to 0 mins. The effects would be that the page does not refresh so if something goes down, you will not see that.

The interface in your example from the Solarwinds demo is not showing as being unknown. It's just not showing the status bar. If the status bar was showing unknown, you would have a grey dotted status bar (by status bar I mean the green dotted line). This is due to the "Downtime period" that it has been selected to show.…

It's not going to send you individual emails when node fails to backup unless you create an individual job for each node.

I can't see how to do this either.

I'm not sure. I think you should log a ticket for this.

I could not find the files the installer was claiming were missing so I ended up doing an online install which went fine.

What alain_p has suggested is a good way of doing it. Or the real easy way is to mute alerts on the nodes you don't want to be alerted on.

NPM does have real-time polling. There is a widget called Percent Utilization - Real Time Data that you can use when looking at an interface. You can also do this in Perfstack. You could also use a tool such as "STG Traffic Grapher" and just fine tune the polling time to achieve the view you want. The more often you poll,…

It's still there in 2020.2.6 but I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you. Try creating a new alert and see if it comes up.

I just checked one of my HSRP configured VLAN's where the VLAN's actual IP address is what we use to monitor the device and it too shows IP address as unknown. But on another HSRP VLAN on the same switch it shows the HSRP IP address. I'd never noticed this before.

Can you see the Disk Volumes when you look at the server in NPM? Is the HyperV being monitored as a HyperV? The alert works fine on all my HyperV VM's.

These options are pulled from the device via SNMP. So you'll need to configure these settings on the device (if possilbe). Then solarwinds will grab that information. What sort of device is it? Yours is shown as unknown so maybe for this particular one, it's not possible to have the extra SNMP details.

I"m not sure what F1 link is but Solarwinds is all about monitoring links and more! Just add the device which has this link connected into Solarwinds and select the interface you wish to monitor as well. Then configure alerting for interface down, and you'll get an email when an interface goes down. Hope that helps.

You select this option in the NCM job. This will show what failed and what was successful.

Why are you looking for this rescan button? I'm assume the 'cache' funtion times out after a certain time frame so then it would just do a rescan again. I just don't see where you would scan and then want to scan the device again straight away other than if you forgot to select something to monitor in which case the cache…

When I double click on the offline file and then look through the files it contains, the file it says is missing is not there. So it’s not part of the offline file. So I was hoping to find a copy of the missing file so I could add it in. 

I ran the offline install file which then allows me to click on prestage files. It then does a check before it will copy the file to server and pollers. It’s from the checks that brings up the error. 

Does it pass the SNMP test?

You could try deleting and re-adding in the the node.

There is 1 out-of-the-box alert that looks for BGP neighbour changes.

What sort of device is it? Is the actual port being shut down or did the device that's plugged in fail? It's odd for a port to go into shutdown if the interface is not actually configured as shut. Maybe it's a quirk of the device you are using.

For Cisco devices you need to use the command "logging host x.x.x.x". Once you can see syslog messages appearing in Syslogs (under Alerts & Activity menu), then they should also appear on the device view. But if they are not appearing in the device view, then use the details that I posted in this thread.…

I assume you are saying that syslogs from your devices are not getting to Orion? If so, have the devices been configured to send their syslogs to the Orion server? If yes, is there a firewall in the way that's blocking this access?

NPM is enough. SAM is for application monitoring.

Can you log onto these devices with another account? If so, configure NCM to pull the config using that account. That way you can confirm NCM can still copy config just fine. Then you'll need to check the devices config to see why this global account is not working. If using TACACS, check TACACS server to make sure device…

The status icon is taken from NPM. Maybe SNMP is no longer working on these devices.

Yes you can select Disable here Or configure not to receive notifications in Step 4 of RTCD setup
