A quick google search confirms that's all you need. https://inmon.com/pdf/AN-S7_InMon-traffic-sentinel-monitor-final-081808b.pdf

I know this is late but in case it turns up in someone's search, you can delete the files in this folder. See here for more details. _LeftOvers folder large - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Why do you need to monitor these ports in UDT? I found the same as you did but I just deleted all the "irrelevant" interfaces as I don't need any UDT information on them. However, I do still have some of these monitored within NPM, like uplinks etc.

This is what I do. I add all my devices (the ones where I want to backup the config) to NCM. Then I've created a job that backs up the startup config. Then 1 hour alert I run another job that backs up the running config and as part of that job I compare the running config to the startup config (so that I can see where…

In your case you can use the same .bin file. I recently upgraded the IOS on numerous 3560's and 3750's and I used the 3560 specific bin file and 3750 specific bin file for all of them. I've noticed that the 'X' models (e.g. 3750x) use a different bin file in my case as it uses different security for the license. If the…

Do you have the following lines in your config? ip flow-export source xxxxxxx ip flow-export version 5 ip flow-export destination x.x.x.x 2055

Go into Alerts & Activity and select Traps. Select Configure Rules. Select Traps (on left hand side) and My Custom Rules. Click on Create New Rule configure the rule to look for trap ID or whatever Fill out rule actions as follows Save it. Then go to the Alert you've just created and fill in the Trigger Actions to send an…

It sounds like your during the week alert is running for 7 days.

Have you refreshed the page? If a node is added to NCM, it will show in the list. Have you confirmed that it is indeed configured correctly for NCM? Can you post some pics of your issue?

I don't contact the support very often but when I do, I get very good support. My only downside is that if I log the call late in the afternoon, it gets assigned to someone who works in timezone where they have just started. So when I come in the next morning, I won't hear anything again until late that afternoon. So I try…

You can write your own script or use a template that someone else has created. Personally I would use FTP rather than TFTP but you know your own environment, so just pick what suits. And as always test your script on a lab device or one that you can get to easily to fix it This thread has all the info Cisco image upgrade

Hey mate, you're in luck as Solarwinds is one of the easiest platform to dive into! As adatole​ has mentioned, use the demo website. Especially if you can't run up a lab. Whereabouts in Australia are you? I'm in Brisbane. Good luck!

Only netflow-lite is supported on the 4948. This should help https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12-2/15-02SG/configuration/guide/config/nswich_l.pdf

This is obviously obvious but are the credentials still valid? Do the SNMP credentials work when you click on the Test button (in the SNMP section on Edit Properties for a node).

I'm not sure why you need a custom SQL alert. In Syslog Viewer you can create an alert that will look for what ever you want. Only thing to remember is that you may select "stop processing all rules" after your Send An Email trigger. That way the syslog doesn't go through the rest of the alerts that you may have…

In a previous role we just used custom properties for this information. We had details like link ID, provider and phone number, site hours and contact details etc Then in the email we just laid it out nicely and added in the custom properties. So the outage email had all the information you needed without having to look…

Can you please post up the alert reset trigger? It will look like this if the the recommended setting doesn't work, then use the bottom option and create an alert that is 1) node status is equal to up or 2) node status is not equal to down.

As mentioned, RDP to your server and open Syslog Viewer. Click on View and select Alerts/Filter Rules. The first rule will be "NCM Rule: Cisco IOS Realtime Change Notifications" Copy this rule and you could name it "NCM Rule: Cisco IOS Realtime Change Notifications - SG300" Then go to the Message tab and change the Syslog…

That doesn't sound right. The port should have been in a down state already. Can you get it to trigger again if you plug the cable in and out?

How do you currently see if the temp is over 75 degrees? Does it log a syslog? Either you can alert on particular syslogs or SNMP traps. Or you could write a UnDP to do what you want and then alert on it.

I'm using syslog alerting. I send an email when an OSPF syslog comes in. Easy setup and it is instant notification when the problem occurs.

I agree, it really depends on the role you are going for. If it has a high dependency on SAM knowledge, then yes you'll stand out in the crowd. But if the job requires high network skills, then no it won't make much difference. I have found though that if I go for a network engineer role and they have Solarwinds, then my…

Can you manually backup the files to Solarwinds?

Just set it with a custom bandwidth. To do this go into Manage Nodes, find the interface in question and select it. Then click on Edit Properties. Then click on Custom Bandwidth and fill out the details. Or if your IOS accepts it, you could put a bandwidth statement on the interface. Hope that helps.

You could try to unmanage and then remanage the Node. You could also delete the node and add it in again.

I used to use Secure-CRT and now use ZOC. Both are as good as the other. And both need you to plug in all the information. Once it's all set up, it's easy to keep up to date. But the initial configuration is a pain. One thing I've also done is set Solarwinds up so that when I'm on a device I can click on the Telnet link in…

I think the NCM installation guide covers it all pretty well. http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/orionNCM/docs/orionNCMAdministratorGuide.pdf from Chapter 3 onwards it explains how to get the whole thing up and running. I too did not install NCM but I did configure it all up. I thought NCM is very easy to use and I…

There doesn't seem to be one for this year. This year you only need to register for the camp, and not individual sessions.

I don't know the Cisco Chassis power supply but does it create syslogs? If yes, then it should generate a syslog if a power supply fails. You can then alert on this syslog by using Syslog Viewer.
