Yup, I get that. I envision someone saying "what do you do" and you relying I - then the statement, still personal, but removes all the I statements in the phrase. Ultimately it needs to be in your language and what is comfortable to you so that it doesn't come across as "canned."
-
Ahh, I bet you are right. I just get spoiled on the instant update that some items do.
-
Agreed. I worked for a church that missed that concept and that is where I developed the naming convention that I show above. By their existing naming convention you couldn't tell if a switch was in the main campus or which remote campus - you just had to know. The church I attended in Kansas City was a single campus, but…

I did some internet searching and couldn't find information about the MIBs for that device. If you have a tech contact with your vendor they should be able to send you that. However, did either tool give you enough information to at least know what would come after the 1.3.6.1.4? (that should be the manufacturer) If so you…

Use a MIB walker (engineers toolset has one - you can use the trial version if needed) and point to the device. That will show you what all of the OIDs contain for information. I'll put together something with some steps and attach that shortly.

I went to: Free, customizable clock widget for your own web site - Time.is and grabbed the widget code. For my site it is: <a href="http://time.is/Rutland" id="time_is_link" rel="nofollow" style="font-size:36px"></a> <span id="Rutland_z161" style="font-size:144px"></span> <script src="http://widget.time.is/t.js"></script>…

Yes, on your SAM server you should have a tool called universal device poller. That will allow you to create a poller for any SNMP OID that any device has. A search on Thwack for Universal Device Poller will give you lots of examples of what people are doing.
-
To my knowledge not directly.they do offer Alert Central that can handle that. You send the alerts to Alert Central and have it do the processing and actual emails and such.
-
That's exactly right. In addition there should be a OID for the current status so that you could put a red/green icon on a status screen and see at a glance when any tunnel is down.
-
I was able to download it and import it into the UnDP (you open that from the SolarWinds server console, not the webpage). Go to file and import and it comes right up. This poller doesn't give status, but rather the reasons for which the tunnel went down. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <CustomPollers version="9.0">…

With the major differences introduced in 12 I'm betting that there is enough "under the hood" with 12.0 that it has to be installed before you can build on that foundation. The difference in the UI is huge - very nice, but huge! 11.5.3 to 12 is a major release - 6.1 to 6.3 is not a major release.

The physical distance is about 30 miles, but the real distance could vary greatly depending upon the route that the traffic was taking. Keeping in mind in an area that has far less density a left turn instead of a right turn could actually add hundreds of miles to the actual route. Kind of like if you are in a major city…

Server and Applications Monitor SAM may provide what you are looking for. There are agents for Linux and Windows will run with or without an agent. There are a ton of applications that it will monitor and you can even build your own. It can be as simple as a checkbox for an existing application or as complex as looking at…

Orion is the root platform of all of the SolarWinds monitoring products. Solarwinds can monitor a plethora of things on your network and servers - and even workstation tracking is available. One of the best things to do to understand the product is to install the trial version of the software. It's easy to get up and…

I don't, but I try to apply updates as soon as they come out, so I'm pretty sure I stepped through as they were each released. It's been quite a while since I've been more than a rev behind on any component. In fact I'm often running Beta's as soon as they are supported.
-
I'm hoping to be able to configure the look and feel of the WHD, not just the log in page. (From what I'm seeing that's not really an option)
-
I think we should stop calling it a Thwack Table, that kind of sounds like something out of 50 Shades.
-
It's part of the standard product. You have to launch it from the SolarWinds Server itself.It's actually called the Universal Device Poller.
-
What I happens is that the agent says it installs and shows as installed when I look at agents. However, when I go to list resources it will bring up the dialogue that says that the agent isn't installed and will need to be installed. I let it install from there and it goes back to the information page on the server. When…

Good point - the NTA is a flat file so you would just need to back up that. Mine is located at: \\rrmonsw-file\d$\ProgramData\SolarWinds\NTA\FlowStorage As for the storage the number can vary so much depending on how many elements, the frequency, how long you are keeping each data point, etc. It's hard to say. What I have…
-
Can you walk or browse the MIB tree? It's looking like you might need to put in a ticket with Solarwinds.
-
Nope, you're not missing anything, this has been asked in the past. I agree - since Orion is the underlying platform there should be a forum just for that.
-
If the firewall is on, then it's likely that it is blocking the request from Solarwinds - You might want to start a ticket with support and they should be able to guide you (or whomever is responsible for the firewall policies) through what you need to do to add the exception. Generally speaking Solarwinds products are not…

Many network devices will not report asset inventory.

Have you found any resolution? I have the same issue. I've created 3 custom pollers for my Palo Alto devices they have worked for months. I created a new one yesterday, using the original ones as a pattern. The new one doesn't provide any data.
-
Trying another piece of software yielded the same response. I believe that this is an issue with the Dell switches not providing the correct information. I have a case open with Dell, but they want me to do all the legwork and provide them all the information. I suggested that they download a trial of NTM for their test…
-
Making great progress - between super support from Dell and Solarwinds, I believe I'm on the right track. I'll post details as sure as I can say it's resolved.
-
No problem, I just inserted the custom html object then go to the page and select edit. Pasting all of this <center><img src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/3.0/weather/maps/nxrd_nh_.gif"> does it. To obtain the map I go to www.cnn.com/weather and click on the image I want. Right click on that image and you'll…

You're very welcome. I've been working with this product for almost 4 years so if you ever have questions just post them on Thwack or ask me directly.

I did both at that time. I've never had an issue with a Solarwinds upgrade, but I would migrate first, make sure everything then upgrade one application at a time. It'll take some time, but I would make a fresh backup of the SQL prior to each upgrade, just in case.
