Unfortunately the Unmanage button is only available when the device is currently unmanaged. Mine won't be until Saturday night as which time I can then remanage them. But as per Rob's message below, looks like the option I need is currently not available.

Problem is that the interface is still up as it's attached to a NTU usually but the link is down as BGP is down. You could deploy UDLD to bring the interface down.

I had this same issue. First I tried the Permission checked but that didn't work. I then stopped SFTP/SCP and TFTP services, and that didn't fix it either. I then stopped the services that were still running which were Solarwinds Agent, Net TCP Port Sharing Service & Message Queuing and that fixed it for me.

Actually seems that the feature is already in 7.3.2. I just came across it and have tested it and it works! I ticked on the box in the image below and now it shows who's made the change. No need to upgrade for this feature

As mentioned above you need to untick the option "Show Network Atlas Download Link". To do this click on the Edit button on your map display in Orion. At the bottom you'll see the following.

I too still have Basic Alert Manager but I no longer use it (haven't for a few years now). I recall that a message flashed up stating that Basic Alerts Manager should no longer be used so I stopped using it. But it's still there on my system.

You should be able to do what you want with the default reports. But you have to make sure you have your database retention times set so that it will retain the granularity that you require. This is done by clicking on Settings and then Polling Settings. Scroll down to Database Settings and configure the details as you…

Solarwinds has templates in the 'Shared Templates' section on Thwack. Just search for UCS. NCM can run any script you like so for synching the phone numbers on the Cube, you could just write a NCM job for it and then just run it as needed.

In the Connection Profile section, have you got "Enable Level" set to <No Enable Login>?

It works ok for me. It takes me to https://onlinexperiences.com/scripts/Server.nxp?LASCmd=AI:4;F:QS!10100&ShowUUID=67CE08C9-AD2E-4E53-831E-098B7117300A&AffiliateData=THW-TAD-SWI-2009_Sep_THWMSN-X-X-X

You could select the volume in Manage Node and then change the name. Then set your alert to ignore volumes with the name you configured.

Easiest thing to do is to create a NCM user in TACACS and then assign that to all the nodes for config downloads etc.

According to https://www.solarwinds.com/topics/servicenow-integration you can "Program existing tickets to be reopened or updated based on alert conditions in SolarWinds" But generally speaking each alert creates a new ticket.

I don't think there are build in pollers for the ABB so you can use what I've written above.

I agree with this. I only monitor ports on switches. I ignore vlan's, uplinks etc.

Are you monitoring the ilo IP address via SNMP?

You could just write a report that lists all the nodes that contain xxxx in the node name. And export that report into excel.

I have these 2 reports available. You could modify them to suit your needs You could also create a page with one of the Errors & Discards widgets. As for alerting, I agree with the above suggestion.

I assume you've seen these posts? If not, they may help? https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NCM-Documents/Accedian-EtherNID-Template/ta-p/535071 https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NCM-Discussions/Is-it-possible-to-run-multiple-commands-via-one-command-in-a/m-p/202759

From your Solarwinds server, can you telnet/SSH to the device in question? For NCM you can just use what ever credentials you would normally use to connect to the switch (Radius, tacacs etc). But it sounds like the Solarwinds server can't connect onto the switch. Seeing it can SNMP to it, maybe there's a firewall blocking…

Are you saying when you manually start a NCM job it works perfectly but when its a scheduled start it fails? What fails? The job starting or the actually content of whatever the job is? What is the NCM job for?

I just saw your other post and in there it's mentioned of managed versus unmanaged. That requires a different response to the one I did above. I responded in your other post.

A managed node is one that is being monitored. An unmanaged node is one that is not being monitored. You would use this if your node is permanently down but you don't want to delete it as yet. Or you are doing scheduled maintenance and you don't wish for it to be monitored during this period (I prefer to use Muted but…

This is a little tricky as it depend on what your definition of "managed" is. When I node is in NPM, I assume it's managed as now you can be alerted as to it's up or down status. And if down, someone can do something about it. Installing an agent or using SNMP basically enhances what you see about the node. Now potentially…

I agree with @"mesverrum" Check also that traffic is not being blocked by firewall or something else. And post up your netflow config from the ASR.

Add this ${N=OLM.AlertingMacros;M=OLMAlertMessage.EventMessage}

What is the issue? How have you got it configured on the interface in question?

There's an out-of-the-box alert called Thin AP down. It works a treat for when an AP goes down. But if it stays down for a long time, you don't get an up alert when it comes back online.
