That's really interesting. I tested it and you are absolutely correct. Without having the RW community listed, it will not download the configs. As soon as I add it in, it works fine. That's a bit strange but I'm glad you got it sorted!

This will be an internal enhancement request number. You can do a feature request and post a link back in here so that people can vote on it.

Do you see these hops in traceroute?

I used the upgrade tool on the Solarwinds website to show me which upgrades to do when. Have you checked it out? I can share my upgrade path but if you have different products to myself it may not help much.

Yes that what d09h​ is referring too.

I'm a network engineer and I don't deem all interfaces important. i believe the only important interfaces are uplinks, portchannels, interfaces for portchannels and links to servers. Anything on the access layer is not important. As mentioned you can use the unplugged version but really you should only have things show as…

That's correct. Monitoring a node with ICMP will not show the interfaces.

Craig has alluded to this but you could monitor on an hourly basis. So say if CRC's hit over 100 in an hour, then you can be alerted. That way it is counting on a per hour basis. So you'd need to decided what the high number is (go by previous experience) and then if the error count goes over that within an hour, you will…

What is the alert for and what does it look like? Maybe if you can, have a look at the headers of the message to see if it is actually coming from Solarwinds and not a another piece of software.

Sounds like something is blocking the traffic in that case.

If you configure netflow on your device and point it to the Solarwinds server, the device will automatically appear in the Netflow Sources list.

As per john.ta's message, is it a NPM node down alert, or just an alert of an event that occurred that you are receiving? Sounds to me, it's NOT a NPM node down alert, but rather a custom alert that alerts you to the fact that something happened.

If Parent A goes down, then Child A would become unreachable. And Child B will also become unreachable as Parent B has become unreachable due to Parent A going down. If Parent A goes down, then all the interfaces on Child A and Child B will also become unreachable. This dependency is automatic. Hope that helps.

You need to fill this bit out in user admin. Then pick an option that best meets your needs.

I could be wrong though, they might have fixed it and I just haven't seen it yet. I don't think so though. cvachovecj, has this been fixed yet? HTH!! Rather than excluding them,…

Well since I changed my polling to SNMP I've not had a single down alert. I used to get one each day but I haven't had any since the change. Thanks!

It's basically the same view, you are running a different version than I am. You just need to fill out the details. Change Request Configs Using to Telnet, set the telnet port and you're done.

NCM doesn't work without logon credentials. And yes you can update a Cisco config by just using SNMP (as long as you have the RW community name) but just not with NCM. You want this tool "Config Uploader" which is found in the Engineers Toolset. Why it's not part of NCM, I don't know. I think it should be. This has been…

Most devices are catered for especially cisco devices. What devices do you have?

Check out this post of mine from a few years ago. There is a buildin alert in SW for BGP alerting. BGP Neighbour alerts.

I think if you know the Orion platform, then you should be able to figure out any environment that you come across. The particular environment where I'm currently working is fairly simple so there were no things that tripped me up. I wasn't hired though for my Solarwinds skills but it was a bonus for them so now I can work…

Can you send or receive files from this TFTP server to other network devices?

Thanks for the information. I didn't realise that Group By option existed. Once the Add to NCM button appears, all will be perfect.

Can you please paste in your trigger alert that works for you and mark this question as answered? That way anyone that comes across this thread will know what you did to get it going. Thanks.

Maybe, won't know until he tries it. I just hope he has nothing in the Alert Surpression section.

You can drag and drop the subnets from Discovered Subnets into any of the folders.

There's a tick box that you can select as part of the config download job so check the downloaded config to the last config that was downloaded. It then sends me an email which shows which configs don't match. I first download all the startup configs. 1 hour later I download all the running configs and as part of that job…

Ok so the issue is with WMI. Have you tried logging onto the server in question with the credentials you are using in Solarwinds?

Not sure if these help? Success Center Success Center

I just manually deleted the files at the time when I had the issue. If I was you, I would log a case for this as they should be self cleaning.
