We are also having DHCP Hot-Standby mode deployed in our environment, but I am not sure whether we can have Solarwinds to manage the scope. Does anyone have experience in working with IPAM on Win2k2012? According to the DOC, IPAM is compatible with 2012. IPAM 4.0 is compatible with MS Windows 2012 R2!

I don't even see this in the Roadmap. michal.hrncirik​ Is there any official plan for this feature? We would at least like to know what are the limitations of going ahead with managing such DHCP server with IPAM. We are not even sure whether we can use IPAM for passive monitoring. The official documentation is blank on…

I will try this.

How can I access the recorded session?

Richard, Is this configured automatically? I have never observed this feature in effect.

Seems like there are many outstanding issues. I am going to watch this space keenly for updates. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/76098?sr=inbox&ru=148130

Count me in.

If HTTPS is normally not permitted just to avoid circumventing the IDS/IPS systems. It doesn't mean that Web based IT systems are not preferred. If HTTPS is blocked, go via HTTP instead.

When will FSM receive the capability of ASA/FWSM traffic log parsing?

I will still stick to my opinion that Win 7's task bar is the best I have come across in any operating system. Firstly, it over came several idiosyncrasies with older XP style task bar. The application icons are re-arrangeable, crucial space was not lost to the less-used quick launch bar, fixed cluttered up systray icons.…

RTFM = Read The Free Manual? Hmmm... I thought it meant something else..

Also I am curious to know if this table is populated by NPM polling or it makes use of the information already available in NCM? If not t seems a bit waste of resources to me, to poll vlan details every 15 minutes instead, which is more suited to be polled by an inventory engine.

I always prefer CLI over GUI, but Cisco's interface problem runs much deeper than simple CLI vs GUI choice. There is an obvious lack of consistency in the CLI language. Take for instance the difference in command between showing interface config and IP SLA config: show run interface <interface_name> show ip sla…

We do have ISE in our environment, but what would you like to monitor apart from CPU & Memory, which is already been monitored?

It will be good if each of these tools can be used as a widget. We can attach it to any custom HTML page. Real-time interface monitoring will be particularly useful as a widget, we can easily setup a quick dashboard using that tool.

Sorry, does that mean Orion additional polling engines can also serve as additional polling engine for Cirrus? Would that require separate license purchase? Right now, we have a minor annoyance that we have 2 NPM pollers but only 1 NCM, which results in certain nodes having different management IP address in NPM and NCM.

Great! I just noticed that. Will try. But when I first thought of such sort of integration, interface up/down is not what I was not the only thing in my mind. When I was setting up monitoring for environment status of our 400+ nodes, I realized it was a humongous waste of resources, in terms of polling cycles, bandwidth,…

Can the config search use regular expressions?

Funny you chose Cars for analogy. There was a joke floating around internet, what if Microsoft made cars. The punch line of that joke was "You will have to press Start to shutdown your Car". Perhaps they felt Start menu was no longer relevant to modern users, pulling up a start menu and carefully navigating your cursor…

There is a whole lot of features which are exciting to me, but I am afraid to make an upgrade in the production. How is the feedback guys? Is the new version stable or should I wait?

Very useful post! Bookmarked!

Netpath from Raspberry Pi would be great! It is so much more easier to place a tiny Pi in switch closets compared to running a Windows PC. Such decentralized monitoring would address so much of our concerns during fault identification and remediation. Now up to 70% of our troubleshooting window is consumed in impact…

Downvoted because using ICMP data alone to determine device up/down would be a step backwards. As there have been many threads in which users requested to ignore ICMP timeouts when SNMP response is still working fine. The ideal way to decide device up/down should include a combination of both SNMP & ICMP. If either of…

Something tells me hostname is not the ideal unique identifier. They should look at other reliable unique ID's such as Serial Number but which is not implemented in vendor specific MIBs.

I was also thinking along the same lines. Every monitored value on Orion DB, should have the capability to be updated by SNMP traps. Authentication for the modifying message is provided by Community string and using SNMP OID it is easy to identify which rows to update. This would make the monitoring real time. For e.g, if…

Sorry can you elaborate? Is this feature available or not?

Agree. I thought you meant to disable the existing alert by SNMP status. Ideally the node down alert should be sent if only both ICMP and SNMP probes fails.

Initially we had Stack-port monitoring from NPM. Later on we added syslog based alerts as well since it is real-time. Out of the box alerting would be great! Syslog message to monitor: %STACKMGR-4-SWITCH_REMOVED

Are these features already part of NPM 10.1? I cannot find them mentioned in the features list. To add to those features listed above: 1. UTLite is equally very helpful. Even switch port mapping can be found at using CLI commands, but finding the user names from AD is very tricky. So far I couldn't find a way for this…

Given an option between SNMP & ICMP, I would always chose ICMP for determining Node status. Because SNMP is a low priority process in most devices and even a slight spike in CPU will happily ignore SNMP Queries. And the connection isn't TCP either. But then, the two concerns raised related to this issue need to be…
