If you select Interfaces in managed nodes, you could use the select all button. And limit the number displayed as you see fit. Some will still need to be done individually though.

When you say it remains green, you just mean you can keep seeing it in the list of connected AP's? Do you use the down AP email alert?

Yeah what Craig said. In the past I've just used Cisco Prime purely for the wireless and used Solarwinds for everything else. Polling is normally a low overhead but until you try it, you won't know. I personally don't see any issues with it.

Thanks for your assistance. That's exactly what I did. So now the historical is set to the Average view But as you can see, now my MAX values are no longer correct as they don't have the historical icon anymore. And now when I re-run my report, you can see the MAX values are changing. They are different to the ones I…

You are allowed to mark it as correct or a Thwack administrator. Remember you can decide if someone has answered your question correctly, cause their answer either solves your problem or in this case 'seems' like the right answer.

I've only done it in the GUI version.

That doesn't mean duplicate IP address, that means duplicate node. NPM doesn't detect duplicate IP addresses. You can tell by the fact you can't write a rule in Alert Manager for this.

I hadn't seen that before, thanks! But I need it just for 1 circuit and to have the report emailed out each day so using Flow Navigator doesn't look like I can achieve that. Or have I missed something? Thanks!

Yup Realtime Change Notifications is really easy to set up. Just follow the instructions and you should be right. With the latest version they've made it easier to setup than previously. Just make sure all your devices send their syslogs to the Orion box. If you have any hassles, give us a shout.

I did a test and found the same as you. A down interface does not show on an upper map so it looks like it is by design. You could put in a feature request to ask for this functionality but there may be a good reason for not showing down interfaces on upper maps.

I agree with this, it looks like something was changed on the 5th. Good luck!

The option in my example just only copies configs if there's a change to the previous version NCM has. So in other words it won't copy the config to NCM unless the config happens to be different. Which if you're using RTCD, then the last saved running config will always be up to date. So then the backup job will not…

Did you get this all working ok? If yes, can you please mark this question as answered? Thanks.

I'm not sure if % is documented anywhere but I believe it's just the same as using an asterisk. Someone else here had made up a few Filters here and they'd used the % instead of *. Not sure why. I'm not a SQL expert.

Then there's something still blocking its path. Do a traceroute to the device and see where it's going and check for access lists and firewalls.

The view "List of all VLAN's" need to be added to say the Home or Network tab. I'm not sure how you added the view in IPAM.

You can't modify the 'out-of-the-box' alerts. So you'll have to copy them. But they are good to give you an idea on what alerts you can configure but a simple one like node down, if you use the out-of-the-box alert, you'll get an email with little info. I would custom write your email alerts.

I agree. Loopback address should never change whereas an interface potentially could.

Where can I see this feature request? Or is it an internal Solarwinds thing?

Only downside with this alerting is that you won't detect flapping links. I'm still using syslog alerts. That way they are instant rather than waiting for the alert to be polled.

Haha, owned!! At least I have an excuse. I'm in bed when the Labs are on. I need my beauty sleep.

Sorry, I meant just leave it the way it is working now.

I get the same and have noticed this on mine but I haven't found a fix as yet

We are licensed. But that's a real oversight if you can't use the Syslog Viewer on the server anymore but then remove all of the functionality on the product that replaces it unless you pay for it?! I need to provide some syslogs for a TAC case and currently I'm unable to do so. So far, I'm not seeing any value in Log…

Yup, under the Configs Tab, you'll find "Compliance". It's easy to use.

That's correct. On the main node page I see this The node in question is monitored by polled for VMware. But my second example above is polled by SNMP. Report shows all drives are critical by actual node status shows they're ok. Weird.
