UDT is for capacity management, not monitoring whether ports are up or down. This blog has some more info on it but it is a little bit old UDT Tips and Tricks

In the GUI version on the Solarwinds server you get to see the coloured lines. So you can easily flick down to a "changed" section.

Fair enough. I was just wondering if after you do a node sync, if the issue goes away permanently. I had the same problem but since having done a node sync, it's now no longer a problem.

Just click on the Thwack Community logo on the top right hand corner. Then scroll down and you'll see a section called Recent Content. Scroll down and just above Activity Feed section, you'll see the "more" button. The content is auto generated and the same for everyone.

I get the same thing as Webbster. The back button will work ok if you haven't clicked the More button first. But as soon as you've used the More button, then the back button just returns you to the start meaning you have to scroll down and click on the More button to get back to where you were. I'm using IE9 but I had the…

Does the time show correctly in Regional Option as per my image above? If it does, then there must be a setting within Chrome and Firefox that you'll need to change.

Hmmm I'm not convinced of RFC2324. It's dated 1st April 1998

Thanks silverbacksays​! I use the view limitation for some of our remote sites where there is a local level 2 onsite. I've created a page for them to show just their local stuff. So I use a view limitation so only the devices local to them show up. So for this example I've created a new user and limited the view to a…

I've checked my WLC and it does log an entry for when you log onto the CLI. To see the log use 'show traplog'. So you will need to create SNMP traps to be sent from the WLC to Solarwinds and then report on however your authentication log shows up. Hope that helps.

When you use NCM to send the IOS file, are you using the same FTP or TFTP server as to when you do it manually? NCM should not make the IOS copying slow.

You are absolutely correct. I just tried it and like you found, the last value sticks. I tried rediscovery, unmanage/remanage, poll now etc but nothing changed the value. You should log a case for it.

So you didn't see any problems on the Solarwinds screen? Solarwinds thought everything was ok? If that's the case, check the object that should have gone down in the outage and see what it is polling. Maybe it has an incorrect IP address associated with it.

What IP address are you using to monitor the node? Is it 172.29.7.21? If yes, how does the cellular backup work? Can you still telnet to the router whilst it's running on the cellular backup?

I'm on 11.0.1 as well but I only see these resources when I search for Errors.

This will show you what events were added due to an alert. The rest of the options in the Event Type dropdown list will add an event on their own.

You can create a widget for it. Success Center There's also some other threads on Thwack that are more fancy than the above option.

As mentioned, all you need to do is add it to the ignore list in the discovery window. It won't be discovered again.

Sorry for the late reply (holidays ) but I'm not using Alert Central. Basically the developers have given me Email Codes that I need to fill in in the email which will then generate the ServiceNow ticket. And I send the email to a particular email address. So for example some of the fields they've given me are…

Is there a particular reason you monitor all ports? If you don't care about them going down, you could just only monitor important links. That way you don't have to set any to "unplugged".

If it's not a monitored IP address in Orion, you can just add an entry for it in DNS. That way it will still resolve to a name.

So which version of IPAM do you have? But as mentioned by Jan, you can fully manage a DHCP server from IPAM which includes exclusions.

You can do a report that should show you this info. Advanced Alert Manager is for alerting, not really doing statistics. You use it to get an alert if a certain condition happens. e.g. I get an alert if a link is sending or receiving over 90% continiously for 10 mins. But I would use a report to see how busy the link was…

Do a traceroute to the device to see where it gets blocked.

You could add in all the devices by name into the filter but that will obviously require maintenance. Hopefully someone with SQL experience will respond if you can filter with a query looking at a custom property. Goodluck!

True but it's so much easier with UDT

To me it's exactly the behaviour I'm expecting. Sure some searches don't require wildcards (as they're just assumed) but even the SQL queries require wildcards so I don't see the issue here. You could raise a feature request that syslog searches have assumed wildcards at the start and end of your search item. And then hope…

Make sure you've added all the interfaces into UDT. Then add the Port Details view in NPM. You then can see the following. Shows the port number, FQDN, IP Address, Vendor, MAC address and VLAN address.

I agree. All my configs are pretty much downloaded instantly after a change has been made.

There is no reason you couldn't create an alert for when an interface comes up. In the alert trigger, just configure it to trigger when interface is up.

No you will get multiple emails. You will get email from the 6509 interface as well as the 3750's behind it. The reason being is that the 6509 is still up and is the parent of the 3750's. If you made the 6509 interface the parent of the 3750's, then you should only get an email from the interface when the 3750's behind it…
