  • Is there a general rule of thumb, regarding how much data Kiwi Syslog can gather/filter in a day? I'd like to push more stuff to that server, but I feel like I might be pressing my luck if I send too much more traffic/data to it.

  • In my current workplace, we have a MICROFICHE scanner/machine in a storage area, along with boxes of old microfiche. I've been here 4 years, and no one has asked to fire up that bad boy yet, but 2020 is a new decade, and anything can happen! I'm not making this up...

  • Solarwinds: Thank you for supporting the monitoring of Meraki wireless APs. I just added our API key to the Orion console this week, and we now have some insight into the WLC and APs. It was mentioned in the initial post that you'd be looking into adding more meaningful metrics and data to the API. Is that still the plan?…
    in NPM 12.1 Sneak Peek – Meraki Wireless Monitoring Comment by thwackerinva April 2018
  • One other comment on the 12.2 upgrade. We use a Network Atlas map on our main landing page for Orion. Before the update, I'm 99% sure that we were showing link utilization/stats on the router connections. After the 12.2 upgrade, I have a number of "red dotted lines" on the map, which are saying "no connection between…

  • I'm not the main firewall guy, but to my knowledge, no this is not a service module. I will open a support ticket and reference the problem/case IDs that you mention above. Thanks.

  • cobrien, Is there any update on the "triplicate" Remote Access VPNs? All of my connected users are showing up 3 times. I believe that I've already installed the latest available hotfix...

  • Serena, I already have filed a support ticket (#1283404). However, that case is considered "resolved", with the solution being that I had to edit our Network Map to "Don't show additional information." This map edit/customization was not required for version 12.1. So again, it seems like we've taken a step back in this…

  • Really like new ASA feature set. 2 comments/suggestions: 1. On my ASA, the Remote Access VPN Tunnels are showing up 2 or 3 times. The amount of uploaded and downloaded data for the end user is identical, so I'm quite sure it really is 1 session that's showing up multiple times. 2. For a feature request, it would be great…

  • Well, a customer doesn't generally have to pay Microsoft for extended support unless they're running some kind of custom software or if they have special requirements. Windows 2008 R2 has been in extended support for 3.5 years, and security patches are still released for it to "regular" customers every month. We still have…
    in Solarwinds is now horribly unstable. Comment by thwackerinva June 2018
  • Extended Microsoft support of Windows 2012 lasts until 10/10/2023 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search?alpha=windows%20server%202012​). I would estimate that nearly every single corporate environment will have a high percentage of Windows 2012 servers for quite a while. While I appreciate that SolarWinds…

  • If you ping the domain controllers after the login completes, is there any more packet loss? Or is it just a problem during login times? I've seen some strange/bad performance on ESXi 6.5 hosts, where the initial login is painful, similar to what you're describing. Once things are fully loaded, everything is OK. I had an…

  • We do not have an NCM license. Only NPM and NTA. I guess what you're saying is that we won't get "Configs" and "Access Lists" without the NCM module/license? Thanks, Chris

  • Thank you very much for the advice, deverts.

  • No. I haven't fully deployed the NTA piece, so for the time being, I just completely removed that chart from the main webpage. If someone else knows the answer, I'd still be interested. Because I may start using the chart in the future.
    in Top 5 Conversations chart - how to resize the tab? Comment by thwackerinva June 2018
  • Same here. Installed NPM and NTA a few months ago, and the server was already joined to the domain.
    in Adding Solarwinds Server to a Domain Comment by thwackerinva December 2017
  • I was able to get the information to populate, after applying "Hotfix 1". However, every remote VPN connection now shows up in triplicate (I guess 3 times the information is better than none.) Admittedly I'm behind on my build/hotfix level now. So there's likely a newer release that may fix my triplicate issue. I've just…
    in ASA not showing any data for Remote VPN Connections Comment by thwackerinva May 2019
  • t0ta11ed75, I have one of these devices in my server room too. I'm monitoring (the basics) via SNMP, but how did you create a chart to display the temperature? I'm somewhat new to SolarWinds and NPM, and haven't done too many customizations. Feel free to link me to documentation or a technical article if it's too hard to…
