Happy to help. I spent a lot of time trying to figure this one out. Change the following: ORDER BY Caption DESC to ORDER BY Caption ASC and it will show up alphabetically.

Interesting....Nick I think you're on to something here. The Polling was different for that specific interface When I changed it to: My graph began to look much better: So why did the change not occur to the interface at the Global level when I modified the Orion Polling Settings?

You can test how NPM and NCM collect interface inventory by running the following queries: To see how many interfaces are monitored by NPM for a device, change the X's to reflect the device name: SELECT NodesData.Caption, Interfaces.InterfaceName FROM NodesData INNER JOIN Interfaces Interfaces ON Interfaces.NodeID =…

That's correct.

wluther Thanks for the response. The polling intervals for interfaces are set to 60 sec / 1 minute in Orion. In our Cacti instance the polling is set to 1 minute and when I zoom into those graphs they show the nice graph lines. I am trying to justify to management that we can get rid of Cacti but in order to do that I need…

The one additional port is the loopback I modified Craig's query to remove the loopback and the report shows all physical interfaces. SELECT COUNT(InterfaceDescription) AS NumPorts, N.Caption FROM NCM.Interfaces I JOIN Orion.Nodes N ON (I.Node.CoreNodeID = N.NodeID) WHERE NOT ((InterfaceTypeName like '%Virtual%') OR…

Our organization purchased WPM and am very happy with the product. You can always download the trial version and see if it meets you requirements. http://www.solarwinds.com/web-performance-monitor.aspx

Thank you. I am available Monday - Friday 0600-1430 PST.

The data you want to present can be done multiple ways. The bar graphs you elude to may or may not be available using SQL or SWQL queries. Sometimes the best way of achieving a goal is to look at alternate ways to accomplish the task you are trying to do. The method I show above is one way of presenting the data, if that…

Thanks Leon. I can't wait for the GA.

We created an alert when nodes are deleted that is emailed to the S/W admins. The alert shows the IP address of the node and the individual who deleted it. The alert is as follows: The email body is as follows:

NTA does not run on SQL, it's a proprietary DB. That is why it's a standalone server.

We attempted to use Application Groups in our AD environment and it turned out to be a big mess. Therefore we use the standard AD group membership for our functional teams DBA, Server, Network, Security, Service Desk, etc. The individual AD user accounts are only provisioned to the few individuals who need the elevated…

It's not dependent on monitored interfaces, NPM functions that way but not NCM. Once a node becomes a NCM managed node all of the interfaces on the device are added to the NCM_Interfaces table.

This is a SQL report not SWQL and will not work in the SDK. Create a new web based report > select custom table > Selection method Advanced DataBase Query > Select SQL radio button > paste query there

Polling rate not polling completion.Polling rate is the weight of ur polling while polling completion how successful ur polls are. Ur right about the polling completion, anything 100% for us was bad.

Jordon, Thanks for the reply. The Orion chart I provided was the default Percent Utilization which is a line chart. I've messed with all the graph properties to try to replicate the graph you provided to no avail. The issue with change the setting to a 1 minute samping is when I zoom into a particular time frame only the…

wbrown, The questions you ask are identified in the NCM admin guide, begin with Chapter 5 and go from there.

Rob thanks for the reply however that does not solve the issue. I still have to touch each node twice once to import the items I want to monitor then go back and reselect the items I want added to the Ignore List. The intent is to select the items I want monitored on the node and have them imported then have all the other…

Is it possible to to change the Period to actual dates? I am trying to create a resource that shows data for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th calendar quarters.

Thank you very much. Based on the links you provided and some reading I was able to find the exact resource requested by my management. I just needed to modify the chart. from <img…

Do you have WPM? The type of monitoring you are looking for is WPM's bread and butter.

Thanks for the prompt response.

Below is the open ticket I'm referencing. 00274958 I made a request to the CSR that the case get escalated and they refused to do so. IMHO SCP's and / or MVP's should be provided with a different support # to call, not because we're special rather because in most cases we have more expertise than a typical tier one tech…

Thanks for the reply. Feature Request created. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/5493

The string shows in that view if that field is checked or unchecked. So what is the purpose of that checkbox?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? You can use the same resource and apply a filter so it only shows the devices you want in the particular table.

Leon, With S/W now using agents will the agent identified in SAM 6.2 Beta - Because Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut - Part 2 work with NPM to eliminate the need for a domain admin account to monitor the DC via WMI or will the agent only work with SAM and application monitors?

Thank you for the reply and I sent you a message directly. Does the NetFlow Replicator leverage an existing NTA implementation to send flows to another system?
