Can you telnet to your WLC? Make sure your settings are correct in NPM and click on the Test button to make sure it connects as per the image below.

Drag your devices onto a map and click on the ConnectNow button and select an option.

Use the Solarwinds online demo to see the product in action. https://oriondemo.solarwinds.com/ Then click on My Dashboards and select Configs

You're probably best to open your own discussion. It sounds like you can't see any utilization on any of your links. Whereas OP only had issues on a couple of their links. Are you monitoring both end interfaces in NPM?

Select option highlighted in yellow below. It includes who made the change. (please note this is from an older version of NCM, I assume it's available somewhere in the newer version)

Could you borrow one of your backup sups from another 4507? And just run it up in the new 4507 as a single sup?

With my custom rules, I'm finding that not all syslogs are looked at. So for example I have a rule that will forward me syslog 0, 1 & 2's. But if a device sends 4 in a minute, I will only receive one of them. I have a ticket raised for this. The old legacy syslog viewer would forward every single email. I didn't miss a…

Redo your Trigger alert. For some reason the word "field" appears before "Node Name". It should be there. Let me know how it goes.

Excellent! Can you please mark this question as answered?

Please correct me if I'm wrong but the above solution is the same as your first post? So how did it not work when you first implemented it? Or is the above solution not what you're currently using?

Run the following report and get it emailed to you. It can't be done as an Excel spreadsheet but you can cut and paste the text from the email you receive and put that into Excel and sort to your liking. This will give you the info provided the device has had an inventory done on it.

Ah ok, so every device was working and now they are not. And you've confirmed that the community string is still correct as you can do a List Interfaces. I had this problem a while ago as well and Solarwinds had me do the following. Log onto your Orion Server as the account you used when you installed the software. Re-run…

Great! I had the same issue once that's why I asked the question Can you please mark this discussion as answered? Thanks.

Could be a bug. Have you checked all the hot fixes for it? Otherwise I suggest you log a call for this, hopefully they'll still support 10.7.

How many nodes get added each day?

I've offered 2 solutions in this post. Is anything being logged in syslog when the neighbour drops? If yes, then you can alert on it.

First make sure that something is being created in the log for when you loose a link. Take a note of the message and then go to your Orion server and open Syslog viewer. Then click on View and select Alerts/Filters Rules. Click on Add New Rule. Fill out each TAB as necessary (otherwise just leave it as default). In the…

Any update?

I've seen a lot of instances were the link stay up but the routing neighbor is down and everything looks good from Orion's point of view. You're right, syslog is not super reliable but can you…

Basic Alert Manager shouldn't be used anymore. Open it up and remove any rules that you still have in there. And then test it again. If Server B goes down at the same time as Server A, then the alert for Server B would be supressed. But if Server B stays up and Solarwinds can still get to it, then it may report on it…

That shouldn't matter in regards to the node going red on the screen. It the node is down, it must go red on the Solarwinds page. Start with getting it to show red. Once it's red, then alerts should work.

That is correct but that wasn't the case when this thread was first created back in June 2018.

Legend! That fixed the problem. Thanks mate!

Here's a closeup of what Mike is talking about.

I use what Rob Hock has suggested "Sure- if you open Syslog Viewer on your NPM server, go to View->Alerts/Filter Rules" and it works great. I've got an open rule to be alerted for all 0, 1 & 2 alerts and then some defined ones for BGP and power. I do however only use it to generate email alerts.

If you are still on IPAM 4.5 then I would delay the upgrade unless there's something you really need to upgrade. Unfortunately with the new installer you can no longer be selective with what you do or don't install.
