Hello, this sounds like the same problem I've just discovered. We use DHCP and are in the process of moving lot's of hosts to VMWare. All our Orion Nodes are set to Dynamic IP but the IP address has not updated. This is after weeks in some cases. Can the 'IP rediscover' process be forced? We have just upgraded to NPM 10.…

We need these features too. An existing 'API' was referred to in Josh Stephen's webcast I just watched. I can't find anything on the site for this though. Help, please?

Haven't seen the newest Discovery tool yet so don't know if it does stuff like this but have you enabled scenarios for list based or bulk importing of specific hosts (with configurations defined, etc?)?

Hello, I'm working at a customer site with Solarwinds NPM and would very much like to be able to add nodes via a script or DB action. Can you update on where this functionality is on your roadmap? Has anyone else out there found a way to do this?

Hi, thx for quick reply! We're on 9.1, boss doesn't want to go to 9.5 with 10 so close. Also uncomfortable with RC, any word on golden code date for 10?

Hi, trying to understand the Universal Pollers and which engine they are managed by. I would like to add a pretty large number of them but I know our NPM process is already overwhelmed (and over the recommended number of elements). APM is also tight. Are Universal Pollers handled by another process?

Yes! This works beautifully thanks! For all the tables I searched through I somehow overlooked the ResponseTime data. Thanks! -Eric

Thanks Craig! Yeah, I was not able to find anything about this in the docs included with 10.1. So far, this looks very good. THANK YOU for finally talking direct to vCenter. Now to move all the polling to the API!!! Thanks, -Eric

Hello, do you mean V10? We are eagerly awaiting it's release, can you tell us when that will be?

Hello, I'm wondering if the Feature PM for the ESX monitoring can comment on when we can expect VSphere direct authentication to be supported? The current requirement of having an ID defined on each ESX host is cumbersome and I'm getting major pushback from our Engineering team. We have hundreds of ESX hosts; they don't…

Hi, this is a good thread and I'm surprised there isn't more conversation on Thwack about the new poller. We are so far unhappy with the throttling as it appears to be arbitrary when evaluated on our large, underutilized, server where multi-threading could potentially do great things. My specific question right now (apart…

Hi, that helps with the interfaces and volumes but what I'm looking for in particular is whether we're collecting the 'CPU and Memory Utilization' object. This is a checkbox in the 'List Resources' page and is sometimes unchecked thus no CPU or Memory stats are being pulled even if volume and interface data are. Does…

Hi thanks but that view seems to only have a single value per component per node for the most recent timestamp. I'm still not finding historic timestamps.

We are having this same problem. How do you handle this with Network Discovery? It's one thing to be able to pick and choose if you're manually adding nodes but we are using Network Discovery to add each week, anyone know how you might automate this?

Hi Craig, testing this out now. None of the documentation mentions any of these changes, where can I read about it? I've got it setup in our dev environment and do see all the nodes underneath that vCenter but they are not managed unless I add each of them and configure with their own settings. Again, where can I read the…

Hi, have you ever gotten to the bottom of this? We are testing the VMWare monitoring and unfortunately this has been happening with our test host; I don't have any systems working. Based on your post, I will try to set this up with another one, your experience sounds machine specific. Let me know if you made any headway.…
