I created a new service and added our solarwinds (also our flow export destination) server as the Listener node and the Splunk server as the Destination node and set the Sampling rate to 1:1000. There are no Incoming packets on the Listener node and not Outgoing packets on the Destination node.

Are issues with the NetFlow Replicator covered with a valid NAM license? I am having issues with the NetFlow Replicator sending flow data to our Splunk server.

count me in.

Are you still using Anue in your SolarWinds environment? If so, in what capacity is Anue used? I am standing up a new NAM environment and want to leverage Anue for its deduplication engine of flow data. If you have any experience with that I'd like to hear about your experience setting it up. SolarWinds please look into…

Thank you!

Are there any updates on this? I am about to stand-up a new NAM environment and am interested to know when we can expect a RC on 4.4. I do not want to stand-up a new NTA environment with Fastbit just to migrate to SQL a few months later. Any input is valued.

SQL query for report 1 and 2: Uncomment the VlanID and / or Caption SELECT NodeVlans.VlanID, NCM_IPAddresses.IPAddress, NodesData.Caption, NodesData.Vendor, NCM_IPAddresses.InterfaceIndex FROM NodeVlans INNER JOIN NodesData NodesData ON NodesData.NodeID = NodeVlans.NodeID INNER JOIN NCM_NodeProperties NCM_NodeProperties ON…

The only reason I visit S/W.com is for KB's and like mharvey I typically use google to find the S/W KB's. I use the customer portal on an as needed basis, typically to determine the status of a ticket or product upgrades. I joined the Thwack community prior to purchasing any S/W software. Part of my organization's decision…

I work for a state government and am unable to get past question 1. Is / was this survey intended for Federal workers only and not all public sector employees?

You need three. One for the application which will also host your web services, a SQL DB server and a dedicated NTA server.

I'm not sure if it's technically needed. I keep it running as a backdoor to the app just in case something happens to the web server and it has saved my bacon a few times.

We've gotten around this with a combination of AD groups and AD individual user accounts. We apply account limitations to the AD group and the AD individual user account. In our environment each user has a standard account and an administrator account in AD Therefore we apply account limitations on the AD Group account as…

That depends on the modules you own, NTA 4.0 uses a propietary DB. NCM uses its own SQL instance while NPM, SAM, etc share another SQL instance.

NPM out of the box can't provide what you are looking for. Since we do not have UDT, I had to get creative and leverage data from NCM and NPM. Here is a SQL report I use to determine the total number of interfaces on a device, # of used interfaces, # of available interfaces, and percent available. You can run schedule the…

Sillz, Change the source from the LAN interface (eth 0/1) to the MFR interface or Loopback address (if applicable). Below is a netflow config with a MLFR from a Cisco 2821. <route>#sh run | i flow ip route-cache flow ip flow-export source Loopback0 ip flow-export version 5 ip flow-export destination <IP> 2055 TV

I ran into a similar issue at my organization when WAN links and/or switch uplink ports went down. Our solution was to re-engineer our interface naming standards where in Ethernet2/3/7 has an ifAlias of "interface to switch x interface y". Then change your script around to include ${ifAlias}. I know it's not the most…

We had a similar issue where we were monitoring the VM's but when you looked at the ESX host is was italicized (as not being monitored). Ultimately the issue was with the mapping of the VM to the ESX host. What I discovered was a NULL value in the HostID column in the VIM_VirtualMachines table. Once I populated the HostID…

try using this query but first change the bolded to what you believe the column name may be. The output will be the tables and columns of the search string. SELECT t.name AS table_name, SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name, c.name AS column_name FROM sys.tables AS t INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID…

Joshua, We had a production outage yesterday and some of the S/W services would not start / restart . We got an error that the MSMQ service was already running, followed the instructions above and got everything back up and running. Thanks for posting this because, you my friend "Saved our Bacon".

Comment out the ChildStatus clauses and it should work.

Peter, That depends on the modules you have installed. UDT provides that out of the box as a canned report. In my environment we did not have UDT but did have NPM and NCM. If you have both of those you can still get the data. Check the following post: Re: port count

I feel your pain. The environment I stood up had a lot of the same modules you have. I ended up having my SE put me in contact with one of their Technical Engineers and they were very helpful. As far as the 12K elements rule that is just the S/W best practice #. What does 2 licenses per server mean, is that 1 license for…

We showed a cluster for all pollers, knowing there is a primary poller in the mix. Due to our naming schema it's easy to determine which one is the primary poller.

Congrats Dez!

Check to see if your blocking icmp on your firewall. The node can still show as "Up" if you are monitoring via SNMP not ICMP. BTW, you forgot to scrub one of the IP addresses in your screen shots.

Here is a SQL query to identify total, used and available physical ports. You can modify the WHERE (InterfaceTypeDescription like '%ethernet%') statement to include whatever interface type you need to report on. SELECT NodeID, Caption, COUNT (*) AS "Total Ports", SUM (IsUp) AS "Used Ports", SUM (IsDown) AS "Available…

My biggest issue are with the interface utilization graphs. There is a current issue with our network with packet loss and unfortunately the graphs provided by S/W does not show enough granularity. Below are screen shots of the same interface one from SolarWinds and another from Cacti. The S/W graphs are not showing the…
