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…

That's crazy!! Nothing should be released until it's working as per its design.

Yeah alerting through Solarwinds can be slow. If I really want fast responses, I use Cisco Prime. But I get a lot of false positives using Prime for AP offline alerting.

The alert remains if you have a Reset Condition configured. So once the device is up, then the alert will be reset (and disappear from the screen).

Why don't you use a tunnel interface and then monitor it?

Use the Execute Command Script of Devices and run commands such as show module or any of the other show commands. You can then get the output emailed to you and see if there are any issues with any of the linecards in your 4500's.

You need to change Type of Property to Monitor to Volume. In your example you have it set to Node.

If you use this option and then select the interface you want that account to see, then that's all it will see. Make sure this account does not belong to a Solarwinds group that has more access.

How are you creating this report? Can you please post an example?

Can you post up the configuration for netflow that you'll applied on your router. Sounds like it's not configured correctly.

Bugger. I have NCM & NPM on the same server so it all works fine. Hope you can sort it.

"None" would work if you only have 1 condition under it. As you have 2 conditions, it will still trigger the alert. Which is why you have to use "Not All" Here's the details from the help file. None Condition Group Changing the condition group to Trigger Alert when none of the following apply means that all conditions in…

I personally don't but it will be easy enough to setup. As I mentioned above, just check the syslog message that's created when the config has changed. Then use that on your RTCD rule in Syslog viewer. I don't know anything about the Junipers but I assume they'd also 'log' some sort of message when the config has changed.…
