Did you create the 10 Objects? Without all 10 objects in place, it doesn't work the icon. But once you add in graphics into the folder and delete them or even delete the whole User Graphics folder and then restart Atlas, the folder re-appears. Orion stores a copy of the User Graphics folder to (even if Atlas is not…

Try changing "Conditions tab: BGP4-MIB:bgpTraps.0.1 contains *established*" to "Conditions tab: BGP4-MIB:bgpTraps.0.1 is equal to *", that way you should get an email for all the BGP traps that come in. See if that works. Also check if you have you SMTP Server details filled in in the Edit E-Mail/Page Action section.…

If your DNS is configured correctly, when adding a node via IP address, it will change it to the FQDN automatically before adding the node.

Is the device part of a parent-child dependency relationship? If the node was down, you should have received an alert (and by looking at the lack of availability, you should have received an email). But if it's part of a dependency, then the parent device would have triggered the node down alert, but not the child device.

Sorry I'm not into Starwars, so I may have mis-understood your question. But if you're just looking to create a new Grouping, then all you do is just manually type in the new name for the Grouping group you wish to use in the Grouping box. I've pointed to it in your image copy below. Delete what's there and type in your…

I've always used genuine Cisco SFP's. Other have bought generic brands. Only time I've seen issues, it's been with the generic brands. I would recommend genuine but if cost is an issue, then you'll just have to run the generic brand. Most will be fine I'd say.

The issue will be due to the actual data being rolled up. Check how long you keep the data for before rolling it up. Go to Settings and find NTA Setting (right hand side of page in Settings section). Then scroll down to Database settings. As NTA data can take up a lot of room, it gets rolled up pretty quickly. I only keep…

Just create your script like this clear counters gigabitEthernet 0/0 y

You are loading a lot of data! You'd be better looking at a smaller time frame and if you really need to know who downloaded what 7 days ago, maybe just open up a NTA page just for that 24 hour period. Rollups will make the data load faster as will a faster server where the database is located.

Yup all you need to do is go into Configs and select Configuration Management. Select the device and click on Compare node configs. Select Compare node configs. This will open up a new window where you can select the 2 configs you wish to compare.

Could you not just delete those IP addresses out of your range? Select the IP addresses and press delete.

Check out this page http://www.solarwinds.com/network-performance-monitor/resources.aspx and scroll down to Product FAQ. It states what I've listed below so in your example yes you would be using 50 elements but you are actually monitoring 25 servers, 50 interfaces and 50 volumes. Q: How is SolarWinds Network Performance…

I haven't used Cisco WAAS for a long time. If you can backup the configurations in NCM and the WAAS device sends out a syslog when the configuration has changed, then RTCD should work for you.

When you go into the problem node's 'List Resources', are the layer 2 and layer 3 options ticked?

What sort of device is it?

Sorry I don't really follow what you are trying to ask. Alerts are different from events. Even though you may see events, you may not have any alerts triggered. Can you please explain it a bit further, maybe some screenshots?

Just thought I'd close this topic. I ended up removing the groups in NCM so now all the nodes were in alphabetical order and easy to find.

Can anyone help? Or is there no way to sort the list?

No, it can't be done via the backup job. You'd need to create a new job that issues a "copy running-config startup-config" to all devices.

I use this on my maps (someone else created it and posted this a while ago, can't remember who though). The stats update as the maps refresh. I'm not sure what you are asking in your second question.

Please provide some more info. Are you saying the backup of the NCM database stops or the job backing up all the configs stops.

Was just doing today's mission question when I noticed this in the demo (https://oriondemo.solarwinds.com/Orion/SummaryView.aspx?netobject=&ViewID=491) Someone needs to tell whoever set the page up that there's a wonderful new feature called Orion Maps!

Just open the config up in NCM. Once you see the config on your screen, copy it all and paste it into notepad. Make sense? If you want to get a copy of the config on your own machine, you'll need to run a TFTP server on your computer (Solarwinds have a free TFTP server) and then download the config from the device to your…

When you are in NPM, have you confirmed that you are logging in with your domain account? It shows you current logged in user in the top right hand corner. It should show as domain\useraccount. And just double check your account in Manage Accounts that it is configured as an Account Type of Windows.

This is what I found a few years ago. And I'm still using the syslog solution as there's nothing as quick as it available. BGP Neighbour alerts. And I just look for BGP-5-ADJCHANGE messages and forward them to the network team. Everything else in the Alert/Filter Rules section in Syslog Viewer is set to default (other than…

I've just checked a number of my trunk links on my Cisco switches and all show the information you are requesting. So it should just work by default. What version of NPM are you using? And how is your trunk link configured.

You can do this with NCM. Download the running configs you want to compare. Then just select the ones you want to compare and right click and select "Compare Selected Configs"

You are running this file on the actual server right? Might be easier just to run "Solarwinds NCM Diagnostics" on your NPM/NCM server by going to Start, All Programs, Solarwinds Network Configuration Manager, and then selecting Solarwinds NCM Diagnostics.
