Yeah I agree with you. I did notice that the blue triangle wasn't really represented well in the icons legend. I do like your suggestion though, you should create a Feature Request for this. Filtering out in the Syslog Manager is a good idea. I spend some time looking at what came in and what I deemed was important. I…

Instead of doing a policy report, try doing a "Execute Command Script on Devices". Fill in the details, schedule it and it will email you the results per switch.

I'm still on 11.0.1 so I can't test this but have you tried using the HTML option?

Hi Jan This is all done in Report Writer. But it's not as easy as I first thought. The Hour of Day doesn't work with the Availability Node report. Neither does the Time of Day which is what we should actually be using. So after digging around I found this page http://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-48335 which outlines the…

Sorry I thought you could just add in all the interfaces you wanted to see. You could use this one instead. sysname like 'SWITCH1%' and interfacealias not like '%Core%' or sysname like 'SWITCH1%' and interfacealias not like '%Dist%' This will show you everything else that you've added into monitoring bar the interfaces you…

Try just discovering just 1 IP address to see if that helps. And try unticking Poll for VM to see if that help also. 10.4 is an old version so you may not be able to get Solarwinds support on it anymore. It would be worth upgrading to a later version.

I did the same thing. I unticked "Alert me when any hardware component goes into a warning or critical state" in Advanced Alert Manager. That stopped the alert window filling up. As I mentioned earlier I tried to untick allt he hardware sensor from those that were erroring but more started appearing so I just disabled the…

As not all my devices were alerting, I just unticked Hardware Health Sensors on those devices that were alerting issues.

I recently had one of my jobs start failing so I ran it past support and it seemed that the job was running when the database was busy. Try re-scheduling the job for a different time to see if it work them.

Can you please post up your report details. Looks like you're monitoring the interface but the report is not looking at the correct interface.

I don't know why. But if there's a feature request for it, be sure to vote it up.

Do you not get the extra tab on the left as in the image I provided? But to check if the stack has been detected as a stack do the following Go to Settings > All Settings Under the NODE & GROUP MANAGEMENT section, click on "Manage Pollers" You can either search for "Switch Stack" in the search bar or click on "SolarWinds…

This might be an obvious answer but why don't you use the built in "Alert me when an interface goes down"? I use it in conjunction with the "Alert me when a node goes down" and I get email if an interface or node goes down. You could add in a group variable if you want to only have these alerts for certain devices. And the…

Then I'm not sure. Are you on the latest version? If not, try that first. Next would be to log a support call for the issue. Good luck!

To alert using syslogs you need to use the Syslog Viewer on the server. Open it and View and select Alert/Filter Rules. Then fill out each tab. General - Just give it a name and you can use the source address there if you wish or leave it as * DNS Hostname - leave as is Message - Use either Message Type Pattern of Syslog…

When you double click on 0_SID, does the bottom picture open up? It's certainly strange. What version of NPM are you running?

You can open the Syslog Viewer on the server and see if you've received any messages from a particular device.

So even when you do a show log on the device, you can't see any reference to a power supply going down? I've not heard of Cisco removing this functionality and I would expect show log would show a power failure error. But some "important" syslog messages (such as power) may only be logged as a syslog 4 so you'd have to set…

How is your connection profile configured? So when you press the Test button, I'm assuming it's failing for you. Once it fails, click on Show credential login details. It will show you what it was trying to do. It sounds like you just need to tweak the connection profile.

I added these in the same as other devices by just using the IP address and SNMP string.

Set the credentials in NPM. Once they are set there correctly, it will work fine in VNQM.

Thanks, yeah I'm looking for a list that will show me if they've been configured as unpluggable - not ones that are currently "unplugged". In the interface report, you can only do Full Name, Interface Type Description, Interface Type Name & Status which don't give me what I'm looking for. Thanks for the assistance!

Actually that is correct. It will trigger on new alerts it found but not on ones that have been triggered already.

No, reset condition is when the alert returns to normal. To do escalation go in to Trigger Actions and select your email trigger alert. In there you'll see the Alert Escalation tab. Fill it out as you see fit. But if you really want alerts on 95% , 96% etc you would need an alert for each threshold. But remember if you do…

Do you have NCM (Network Configuration Manager)?

Click the little arrow next to the node. Then select the greyed interface and select delete.

Did you try mesverrum​'s suggestion? If yes and you still don't see the interface you wish to delete, then I think you should delete the node and re-add it. But normally what has been suggested above is all you need to do. You should see the old interface but it will have a grey status circle. Post a screenshot of the…

No worries. I have 2 email alerts for our external site links. One for incoming, the other for outgoing. I basically monitor the link and alert if utilization is over 90% continously for 10 mins. And I reset the alert once the utilization falls below 50%. Hope you get what you're looking for.

I run TFTP server on my Solarwinds server as well but I do not get this popup. I run version 10.4.0.14 and it's setup as a service. So I do not have it in the startup group. I suspect that you do. If you want to keep it in the startup group, you could get it to start in minimized mode, that way you won't have to close the…
