Cool Has your question been answered now?

Yup that's correct but as soon as you enable it, it will send alerts. You could try this but you'll need to test it first. Set up the alert and have all the emails going to yourself. You could then edit the alert and add in the extra email addresses. Hopefully the emails won't get send out again.

Guess all you can do is to keep drumming up support for your feature request. Hope you get what you need.

Like I said check out the demo, you'll find all your answers in there. But to answer your questions, yes it will keep multiple configs - as many as you like. You can set it to something like keep 20 copies of the config or keep the last 6 months worth of configs (which is what I used). NCM is a top product. It will also do…

Check under the Trigger Actions tab on the Advance Alert. Double click on the Action and then look into the Alert Escalation tab. See if anything is selected in there.

You can see the node is currently 'yellow' which means it is not down as yet. Check what the IP address is that you are monitoring. During the outage, are you still able to ping it? I also found this, not sure if it's applicable to your situation

After doing some testing, I found the same results as you have. Then after some digging, I've found the answer for you. Looks like these counters don't reset until you reboot the device. So as I mentioned above, it's best to have an alert that alerts on an hourly basis if the errors go over a certain threshold. I posted…

Sweet! I still have to test mine to see if the alert stays. There's probably a feature request already requesting the integration of syslog with Advance Alert Manager. If there is, vote it up

When I launch the old application I get the following message But once I click Ok the application will launch. I'm running 2019.4.

Before you fill in the S:Label:Swap bit on the trigger, you can click on the down arrow. What options for Label:Swap do you get on the down arrow? It looks like the name does not match what Solarwinds sees. Might be easier if you remove the new trigger and add in a condition group like this.

This would be correct except in my case the adjecent router is owned by the Carrier so I can't get syslogs from it.

It definitely sounds like a switch issue for sure. Hope you get it sorted.

Well no matter what I try, HF2 won't uninstall. I tried the above command and I tried doing it through control panel. Both fail. Any other suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply and all the anticipation. I'm in a different timezone Anyways my poller is the one that I copied here of Thwack so I assumed it was the same as the one you are using. My OID is the same as yours. When I do the test on the OID, not all my Riverbeds work. Some say "The OID is not supported" &…

^^ What he said

Actually I think I found what's happening. I just did another test and I've noticed that devices where the last downloaded config was by RTCD, will download another copy but devices that have not been updated at all since the last NCM job download, don't download another copy. Can you test this out and see what you find?…

I just did a job test of this option on 3 of my devices. When I ran it, 2 of my devices reported "Downloaded and discarded Running Config - no change" and the other one "Downloaded and saved Running Config". So it seems the feature works "just fine" But as I use RTCD, all of them should not have copied. So I compared the…

Then I'm not sure why it's not populating. Log a support call to see what they say.

That's correct. If you have a bandwidth statement, it will pick that up but otherwise it just retains what it had. So lets say you've got a 1Gb connection and you change the custom bandwidth to 100mb, the node will now show a connection of 100mb. Then if you disable custom bandwidth (by unticking the box), it stays at…

Aha! I picked the wrong columns! Now I can see the historical icon. Thanks very much mesverrum​ for picking that up! At least that sorts one of my problems out But still the data is different between the 2 for Average. I'd love to get to the bottom of which one is "correct" out of the 2 reports.

Totally agree!

Yup if you go into conf t, it will log a syslog with 'Configured from console'. I use syslog for my RTCD and I only get an email if something has actually changed. I ignore the "! Last configuration change" so that I don't get any empty email alerts. Works beaut.

Syslog will give an error on interfaces that aren't monitored in Solarwinds, So if the 2 devices can see each other, won't syslog report the duplicate IP address?

What sort of switch is it? What version of NPM? When you do a List Resources on the node, do you see the resources for both switches? e.g. interfaces gi1/0/1-24 & gi2/0/1-24

It looks like we don't have LA but yet in the bottom bar it shows LA2.1 and it shows up in licenses as per my 2 images above. I've logged a ticket for it. It's a shame to have to pay for something that so far seems inferior to the old server application. I understand why it was upgraded and it can now do things the old one…

Go to manage nodes. Put a tick next to the node in question. Then click on Edit Properties. In Polling Method you'll see the SNMP credentials section. Then scroll down. If you have the device managed by NCM, then you'll see the CLI details. But having said all that, in your image above, if you tick next to the device and…

You were correct. I configured report as follows.

No it's still the same, you need access to the PE. I use this method to display utilization (got this from another Thwack member). Works good.

Solarwinds only reports on packet loss at a node level. It is measured between the node and the solarwinds server.
