We have a lot of DMVPN tunnels coming back to out two hubs. These are all backup links to primary MPLS. With that number of tunnels, and most of them being over consumer internet connections, we get a few drops a day. We like getting the alert for the end sites rather than on the hub router, as we then know immediately…

The "WAN Router" line is a custom property I made for our environment. We build different alerts for different equipment roles, I probably shouldn't have put that in the screen shot. To get OSPF alerts only over tunnels.... Why not just do the alerting from the spoke routers? Alerting for the same thing on the hub router…

I would build an alert like this:

Somewhere in troubleshooting, we stopped getting display of any Netflow data in Solarwinds NTA. We did a complete restart of the main Orion server and the Netflow DB server. After that, we started seeing the flows from the 4000 series routers. Rebooting shouldn't be the fix, but if we hadn't stopped seeing other flows, we…

I would say the easiest way to accomplish that would be to deploy the NetPath agent to different servers that use the different proxies, then build a NetPath to the same target IP from each of the agents.

Credit to Neomatrix1217 for supplying the answer when I asked a similar question: How to change the URL variable in alerts to publish a different name?

That's exactly the information I was looking for. I made the change, and it looks like it did exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Thanks for the response - I was able to go into Settings as you suggested and identify nodes that had Routing monitoring un-checked. Doesn't look like I need to try the database query after all!

You can set alerts for the tunnel interfaces, as well as the tunnel-source interface. You should be able to monitor the status of OSPF over those tunnels the same as BGP or other routing protocols.

OK - I'm building this alert and setting up the NCM action. I have the scripts in NCM Script Mgmt (one for each datacenter). Now I'm at the place where I configure the NCM action to execute - it doesn't look like it's having me pull from existing scripts, but wants me to put the actual script in the text box - is that…

We're predominantly using 2702. I'll check into that bug report. Thanks for the info! Edit: It looks like that bug only affects the 3800s, at least as listed. We may try installing the newer code on our backup controller and rolling some APs over to it and see if the problem replicates or goes away.

We had to run the NTA installer on our Additional Web Server to get NTA data to be displayed. We actually had a weird sequence of events when updating to NPM 12.1, and latest versions of NCM and NTA where we ran the NPM installer, then it would hit a point in the config wizard where it would fail saying the NTA server…

We were able to fix this by using the following Trigger and Reset conditions: That may not fix everything you're looking for, but for us it got rid of the BGP Down alerts hanging around hours after the neighbor relations had been re-established. Obviously - ignore the node and IP exclusions that were specific to our…

As someone who also had to deal with Whats Up Gold in the past I congratulate you on moving to a reliable and stable monitoring platform :-) SolarWinds NPM does not monitor the APs as individual nodes - it monitors the controller, and discovers the APs from the controller's database. The way we handle the alerting is to…

It appears RabbitMQ is needed for NetPath. I just got done with a support call for NetPath, and one of the problems was a corrupt file stopping RabbitMQ from running. Once we fixed that, some of the NetPaths could write to the database again.

If I'm reading your question right, then this should give you the information you need: Configure website URL for Alerts and Reports - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

I have this config on a couple ISR4451 and ISR4431 - In Solarwinds NTA all fields just show the "Data Not Available" message. We have the same data going to Scrutinizer, and it displays just fine. So far I have not been able to find what's causing the missing data display in NTA.

Similar to what others have said, I've had success using hashed passwords in a script when we've needed to push out password changes.

We decomm'd our 5Ks and FEX's. How about some 9Ks and APICs? :-)

We run BGP over our DMVPN tunnels, and monitor that. I would think you could monitor EIGRP status the same as BGP?

There are two built-in alerts, "High Inbound Percent Utilization with Top Talkers" and "High Transmit Percent Utilization with Top Talkers" that you can adjust the thresholds to the levels you want. We currently have our set to alert at 75% utilization for more than 10 minutes.

For anyone interested - it appears there were a couple things going on to stop NetPath. First - a corrupt .dets file kept shutting down the RABBITMQ service. Once the corrupt file was removed and the service restarted, it kept running and some of our NetPaths started showing data. The other cause appears to be a corrupt or…

Well it's now been 8 days since I opened a support case, without a single response from SolarWinds. 

I recently opened a support case for this same scenario. I was told that the current version of NPM has no way to roll polling of nodes over to a another Poller when a Remote Poller goes down. We recently lost connectivity on primary and secondary WAN links to a location where one of our Remote Pollers is located. We got…

It's hard to say without more information on the node you're monitoring. We had a similar issue recently which turned out to be a problem with two OIDs on a Cisco 4507 chassis. Have you tried a warm restart of the SNMP-Server on the node? You could also try adding a different RO string to the node, and test from SolarWinds…
