Do you have the correct statement in your config? i.e "logging server x.x.x.x"

Packet loss is only measured at a node level.

You could add the node in multiple times with different IP addresses. I've got the same issue as DirtySouth and the only way I've figured out to get an alert is to use syslog alerting. When the link stops routing (but the interface stays up) it logs a message in syslog. I then log an email alert against that message.

Sounds like it could be a bug so you should log a case for this. Does everything appear fine once the devices is added into NPM? I too use the node.caption variable (I think it's the Orion default?) and mine all work ok but I've not received alerts for devices that are not in NPM (all my devices are in NPM). I think DNS is…

NCM uses a default credential set but if the switch uses a different credentials to the default one, then you'll need to enter those credentials for each device that does not use the default credentials.

Sorry I don't know. Sandeep was asking about NCM and CLI commands. Maybe open up a new discussion and outline what you are hoping to achieve.

Sorry I can't remember what the defaults are. Are you running it out of hours, where is the slowness occuring? And how many hops have you got it checking?

You should not use Basic Alert Manager anymore. Only use Advanced Alert Manager. Why do you want to use Basic Alert Manager? I'm still running the same versions as you.

I just configured up some SNMP pollers for my UPS's and I found this resource really handy. UPS-MIB SNMP MIB But obviously Solarwinds needs SNMP access to the UPS.

Thanks Rach, it works beaut now!

Since the original post dated 2018, Orion was updated to include this function.

Sounds cool! Except I can't see the video as I'm not in the "right" region it says.

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.
