Excellent, can you please mark this question as answered? Thanks.

I have my basic Telnet settings configured as the default profile. So any new device added will use this profile unless I change it. Every other profile I need is configured separately. These include profiles for downloading Nexus configs, SSH configs etc.

Make sure you download the startup config first and then the running config. Then do the compare. If you get told the 2 are different, you should be able to see what the difference is by highlighting both configs (in the GUI version) and rightclick and select Compare Configs. Differences will show up when using crypto. But…

Can you post up some screen shots?

Where are these Solarwinds jobs located? In Australia, I can't see any demand for Solarwinds jobs. It's mentioned every now and then in a job description, but it's just part of a job, not "the" job. Thanks

Let me know how you go with a more generic rule. One more thing you could try is rightclicking on the Trap Details section of the alert you're interested in and select Add Rule. This option adds in all the options for that alert and you should only need to add in the Alert Actions. So this should then send an email once…

How old are your configs that you wish to compare? I keep 6 months worth of configs in NCM before they are deleted. I only copy them once a week and I use RTCD for instant downloads on changes. Let me know how you're using the tool to see if there's a better way.

Yup that's correct. I think a firewall can collect this information but the external netflow programs don't seem to. Doing a search in google doesn't show any options for netflow programs.

I guess I have to disagree with you as well. UDT doesn't fail in the area it was designed for. Like all Solarwinds products, they are customizable for your environment. As mentioned in the blog I linked earlier, you can customize it to report what ports you are interested in. Be default, UDT assumes you want to know about…

Steven Carlson wrote: In your latter scenario, if a device goes down at 4 AM the alert will fire and be active but he won't get any email at all (even when 6 AM rolls around). At 6 AM, the alert is already active for the node so it shouldn't send the email. That is not correct. I tested both method and what I've written is…

For the interface name, couldn't you just use the description on the port itself to something more meaningful? Orion imports the description label so it will show up like "GigabitEthernet3/30 - Link to Wireless AP" for example.

This is another option. I've switched to it. Report on Muted and Unmanaged Entities

Use this command once on the WLC show traplog In there you should see the output like I've shown in my previous post. Once you configure syslog or snmp traps, then you should be able to find the reported output and create an alert for it.

Thanks. It looks like the functionality just no longer works. I tried their suggestion but it's still just creating an account limitation using a group instead of picking the nodes etc. One thing I have noticed, is that if I pick Group of Groups as the limitation, the Active Alerts now only apply to those groups. Before…

Does the cellular backup not use IP? Sorry I don't know how the cellular backups work.

I did test it as well before my previous reply but I don't have a separate polling engine so I was unable to add it in. Learn something new each day.

When looking at the IP range, make sure you don't have the Filter set to DHCP Managed. Change it to All, you will then see all the IP addresses in the range including the exclusions. Hope that helps.

No worries. Log onto your server and open up Solarwinds Network Configuration Manager. Then click on Configs and select Search Configs as per image below. Then at the bottom of the page that opens on the right had side of your screen, fill out the info you're looking for. Either click on Add Devices and add in the devices…

Can you post up a screen shot of the Select Fields tab. Seems to me that you haven't put MIN, MAX or AVERAGE for the function. In the example for bps below, without the AVERAGE or MAX functions, both values will be the same.

I'm confused. Is it you that configures Solarwinds or is it the network engineers? Who ever is configuring it, should be deciding what needs to be monitored and what doesn't. And in this case what interfaces need to be monitored where there's no care for the status of it. I'm not sure what is so hard. If you are the one…

I will have to test it to see if the alert disappears (but I don't believe it does). I will test it and let you know. But instead of your customized trigger, have you used the Recommended (Reset this alert when trigger condition is no longer true) trigger? That's all I'm using.

Can you show us how you've configured it? Is anything logged in syslog when the neighbour drops off? You can always do email alerting of that.

Try running the config wizard again.

You will need to work on getting WMI operational. Until that's working correctly, Solarwinds will be unable to connect via WMI.

For me this program has always worked and was easy to setup. And it obviously works for you as well except for this one device. So that concludes that your TFTP setup must be ok. That only leaves the device you are trying to TFTP with. What is different about this device? ACL's? How is it connected to the network? Tried a…

I replied to this in Does the default config backup job do write command on cisco devices after uploaded its config?

You could add in the following trigger Caption is not equal to S:\swap But post up your whole trigger so that I can see if the above would work on your trigger.

The trigger in your first example is the one to use "Volume Percent Used". The 2 Disk Utils you see are custom properties that someone has created on your system. They could be used for a trigger where you write a generic trigger for all volumes but you only wish to be alerting on some. So on those volumes you change the…
