Go into NCM on the Orion server. Then all you need to do is create a job for it. Click on Schedule and select Create New Job. Select "Execute Command Scrip on Devices" and click Next. Then just follow the prompts. You'll then get the following window. Click on the Command Script tab and add in your script. Fill out the…

Was there anything in the logs of the switch? Did syslog send out any kind of message? If it did, maybe turn on alerting for that type of syslog message.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about an excluded range in DHCP? And are you only using the DHCP ranges within IPAM? If so, you could just manually add in the 'excluded' range to IPAM itself. It will then scan it.

I haven't seen a way of doing it either. I usually just duplicate all the resources in the original tab, then I move all those duplicates to the new tab. This would be a good feature idea. Here's a similar idea

So when you try List Resources, it doesn't show the new interfaces? If so, then try clicking on Rediscover and then try List Resources again. On Cisco devices the new interfaces just appear when you go into List Resources but I don't know about the Junipers.

I did the same thing recently except I first moved the Solarwinds from physical to virtual. Made sure everything was ok. I then upgraded the products to the latest version. I moved from NPM 11.0.1 to 12.1. I also have NTA, NCM, IPAM, UDT and VQNM. So there were lots of upgrades to step through.

In NPM, real time speed is limited to how often you poll the interface in question. By default it is done every 120 seconds. You can go as low as 10 seconds. I use the STG grapher tool when I want to see real time statistics. I find setting it to about 3 seconds polling gives a good display of what's going on on the link.

Check that the interface is being monitored in NPM Check that the interface is definitely sending netflows. And check that the view hasn't been changed to a custom date range where there is no valid data for anymore. Otherwise post up some screen shots. A visual my help trigger an answer.

You need to add the device into Solarwinds first before NCM can access it. Once NCM can access it, you can script changes.

I just tested this. Say the syslog I'm looking for is MYCOMPUTERNAME info logger blah blah. When I search on MYCOMPUTERNAME I get nothing back When I search on MYCOMPUTERNAME* I get back the syslog I'm looking for. When I search on info I get nothing back When I seach on *info* I get back the syslog I'm looking for. To me…

Where is the any key?

You are correct, you can't put in a username for the enable section. This article should help Success Center

I don't know of a way to make RTCD only alert if someone forgets to write of the config. But to see where people haven't written off the config, I do it through my weekly config backups. First I download all the startup configs, then 1 hour later I download all the running configs and compare it to startup config. If they…

Yes if you have NPM, you can use the syslog viewer it comes with. Just point all your devices to send the logging to the NPM server. To answer your questions 1) yes 2) yes you can create rules to delete syslogs you're not interested in or you can configure all your devices to only send the syslogs you're interested in. In…

Welcome! This post would have been better in the Network Performance Monitor part but I'll answer your question. You do not need to enable every single alert, it's entirely up to what alerts you wish to receive. But on the alerts you do use, you should have them enter an event for it. The reason is that the events stay in…

Do you have NCM? You could do a report which checks all the configs to see what the community string is?

If you're on NCM 7.3.1 or above, here is the setting to see what's managed by NCM or not. Group nodes by NCM - Licensed.

If it's a WLC that's locally located to the Solarwinds poller, it will show as 0ms. All of my local to the Solarwinds server WLC's, show as 0ms avg response time.But all my remote WLC's are showing higher values.

Decide how you want to display all your data prior and then then up everything accordingly. This may include creating custom properties such as location, state etc, standardizing device names, SNMP standards etc. In regards to interface descriptions, label 'like' interfaces them the same so that you can find these…

Try asking DanielleH​

Does the alert actually trigger? The other things to test is run your script manually from within NCM to see if it actually works.

I've added my VDC in as a separate node. That way they all get backed up separately and I use no special scrips.

Maybe an easier option is to have the destination as part of the Interface description. Then use the following alert which will email you the description of the interface as well. Interface ${IfName} on Node ${Node.Caption} was reported as ${Status} at ${DateTime} The interface description is: "${Caption}"

Another option you can use is in NCM. Go into Node Management and then Group by NCM - Licensed. It will then show No and Yes groups. All in the No group are not currently in NCM.

If the secondary port normally only runs around 2-3KB/sec, you could just write an alert that alerts you when utilisation goes over say 1MB/sec. If you add something unique to the "secondary" interfaces like the word paired and then write your alert to look for interfaces with the word paired including in the description.…

Try doing the same graph but using today's date. If it shows more informationm, then as mentioned you need to check your data retention settings.

Your problem is that the lines with IP address need to be indented so that they are under "Trigger when ANY of the following apply". Currently all your conditions are under "Trigger when ALL of the following apply". Delete the lines with IP address on them and also delete the last line in your example. Then highlight the…

I still use IE for the applications that don't work with Chrome. Such as Cisco ACS.

What are you looking to do with either the rule or the policy? If there's a rule or policy available for what you are wanting, then yes it will help you. All the old rules and policies will still work but again it depends on what you are wanting to do and on what type of device. Otherwise you can always write your own.

Are you just talking about the enable password? How do you access your devices? Do you use TACACS? You can create a NCM job that just runs the appropriate commands for the device you are changing. Only thing is if you are changing the credentials on a device and solarwinds uses those credentials to log onto the devices,…
