I echo everything Mike has said. Our Solarwinds servers are in the GMT timezone but we monitor devices all over the world. We have account groups for each specific country with account limitations so those users can only see what they're interested in. For example a member of the Russia support team logs in and sees…

Is this still being worked on? This is a real flaw that you can't influence a node's "status" from alerts. As an example, we have a custom UnDP to check the HSRP state of Cisco routers. We fire off an alert if the state changes and it emails us and appears in the Active Alerts list BUT the node status is still green.Now…

I'd really like to see this feature. For example at the moment I want to copy a group and change one setting but I have to create a new group, note down the settings of the existing group and then add the settings to the new group. It takes a long time and is prone to making mistakes.

This would be a cool feature. As noted it needs to be an option. For us we're not too worried about where the polling is happening from so the ability to turn on "automatically distribute between pollers" would be great. Almost like VMware's DRS "Hey, this node has loads of volumes and interfaces and the current polling…

+1 for this feature. Everything we do with NPM is based on custom properties (location, sub-location, node type). We've found they're a lot more flexible than using groups. But like many others sometimes people forget to fill in the properties when adding a node because we can't enforce it. The ability to now select…

For now something like Active Alerts View for NPM 11.5 could be used until this feature is implemented.

For what it's worth I get similar. I download the latest EXE from the customer portal and when I run it I get the auto-update page and it just sits there and does nothing. When I Skip it was then telling me there was nothing to install (which was a lie). In the end I used 7-Zip to open the offline installer EXE and copy…

Hello all, Thank you for the replies. I wrote some VBScript to do what I wanted. The following takes two arguments. The first is the process name (e.g. notepad.exe) and the second is the user who should be running the process in the format domain\username. If the process is running it returns 1 and the message contains the…

Hey jmiddleton‌. I got a workaround from Solarwinds support: Please use the following workaround until the final fix will be released. * 1. Edit the alert with CPU thresholds * 2. Add the following condition with AND (Add Single Value Comparison) o Node Threshold Name (CPU Load Threshold) is equal to Nodes.Stats.CpuLoad…

Since installing HF3 my job scans list in the web interface is now completely empty and it tells me "No subnets are configured for reoccurring scans". Despite subnets being configured for automatic scanning.

Thanks for sharing. I've done the same and now the 3850 stacks are reporting hardware health correctly.

Just to add that we've upgraded stacks to 3.3.3 and NPM is still showing these warnings. For now we've had to turn off hardware health monitoring for the stacks.

Yes, same issue. In the end I ran all the MSP files manually. Afterwards I ran the offline installer which now tells me that it needs to upgrade IPAM 4.6 HF3 to IPAM 4.6 HF3. Go figure!

FYI, I think I've narrowed this down to any alert that uses a threshold as a trigger condition. e.g. percent packet loss warning/critical threshold, CPU load warning/critical threshold, memory used warning/critical threshold. These were working beautifully in NPM 11.5.1 and 11.5 but are totally broken in 11.5.2. Seems to…

Thanks. And great to see that Solarwinds have released an MSP! No more having to manually replace files.

I was trying to do the same thing today. I wanted my Service Desk to login and automatically have NOC View enabled, without them having to find links and click on stuff to activate it. In the end I created a new Summary View (called "Redirect to Service Desk NOC View") and added a "Custom HTML" resource. In this resource I…

This worked here too. Using AD authentication is painfully slow. Creating a local Solarwinds account makes Network Atlas usable. This thread is coming up for nearly a year old. Is this on the Solarwinds radar to investigate and fix in the future...? rob.hock‌

Did you get any further after opening a case? I admitted defeat and didn't have time to continue with the case, playing about with various settings. I was told it was a database performance issue although I fail to see this personally. We maintain the database well. The server hardly breaks a sweat. Using Orion on a daily…

maria.bungau‌, the ticket number was 775735. Hope this helps.

Thought I'd add this in case anyone else stumbles over this... To get accurate % utlization, edit the switch interface in NPM and set the "custom bandwidth" to the MPLS bandwidth. Otherwise it'll report % utilization based on the speed between the switch port and the LAN port on the router which is likely to be 1Gbps and…

No idea what's going on. This offline installer seems broken as well for me. I had no idea that NPM and NCM HF3 was out - according to the installer HF2 is the latest and doesn't offer me the HF3 installs (see screenshot above!). If I extract the contents of the EXE using 7-Zip, I see HF3 is in there. Honestly, it's…

Since NPM 11.5 I get this too. Sometimes Atlas crashes and when it does it creates duplicate maps.

Thank you! I've changed the default NTA settings to display the default unit type from data transferred per time interval to rate. Now the detailed charts make much more sense.

I foolishly upgraded to 11.5.2 today as it's out of RC but alerting has totally gone wonky for me. "Scope of alert" seems to be horribly broken. We've got 50+ alerts on nodes that don't have a problem. For example the alert triggered because the node had -2% packet loss?! Clearing the alert just triggers it again…

Thank you very much!

Thank you Maria. That is exactly the issue. I have voted for this feature.

btw, this is the UnDP that works for Cisco HSRP in case this helps you with your Palo Alto HA:

So yeah, false alarm. Sorry! Everything is working as expected.

It's interesting to see all the different ways people approach this. We have had such an alert for a while now and it has been really useful to catch servers that have their SNMP string changed etc. We do the following: SELECT Nodes.NodeID AS NetObjectID, Nodes.Caption AS Name From Nodes WHERE ( (LastSystemUpTimePollUtc <…
