I am now having this same issue for the same sensors, but so far with only a single device and a much lower frequency. Did you ever find a solution?

We do not have a poller for the 2100 series. After trying to use a few of these we ended up sending back all but 2 that are in production. And those are coming out as soon as we have a pair of 4100s to put in place. The problems we ran into is specific to devices that are registered to an FMC. Alot of the local management…

Yes. I should be getting my 9300s racked in a few weeks. 2100s are onsite but not installed. If you have a device online and configured then you can probably take the reported sysobjectid being displayed for the node and modify my existing poller to provide the output you like. The only really tricky part is parsing the…

Richard - Sorry, for whatever reason I never noticed your post until today. At this time the poller as currently written only supports the Firepower 4100 series. I'll probably create a more generic poller after I get a couple 2100's out of the box as I should finally have my 9300's online at about the same time. ETA is…

As rschroeder mentions, you need to look at the connectivity from your Orion server to thwack.solarwinds.com. The error message you are receiving indicates that either your can't resolve the FQDN or you have a connectivity/proxy/URL filter issue.

I've got a couple on pallets at the moment but I don't have any ETA on installation. I'll be posting updates when I get those online. My guess on timeline is probably Spring '18. At the minimum I'll be creating a node details poller at that time since the chassis sysObjectId strings will be different. I'll be curious to…

Until you asked I haven't bothered to compare the CLI output versus NPM's reading of CPU or memory. Looking at one of my FTDs right now, the CLI reports memory usage at 36%, while Orion is reporting 50%. My guess is that this is another instance of Cisco CLI commands reporting different values than the SNMP agent. A…

I don't know about Server-App, but you should be able to import this through the GUI without issue. Settings > Manage Pollers > Thwack Community Pollers > select the poller and click "Import Device Poller".

This poller only affects the Node Details info, so any other pollers assigned, which are relevant to an ASA, should not be affected. Which particular vital stats are you using? My Vital Stats page is customized - the only info I have on there is current active connections (cufwConnGlobalNumActive) and 5 minute connection…

Once the poller has been assigned to the node the displayed machine type should get updated after the next discovery poll.

Moving the polling or adding the additional web console? I've got 5 additional pollers with anywhere from 5000 to 7000 elements on each. I try to keep no more than 1500 elements on the primary server. This made the difference between a usable and an unusable system.

Another option to help speed everything up is to deploy an additional polling engine and move all polling off of the primary application server. I've been told that deploying the additional web console also helps but I have not tried that.

Ah, I didn't notice that before as I don't often look at that tab. Good to know. Thanks.

Jiri - I have a use case for this. I would like the ability to select a number of nodes in bulk and start a config backup of all those nodes. For now I have the ability to do so in the Win32 client. This is acceptable provided all the nodes I want to backup are on the same polling engine. Having to start a backup from…

Working great with my v10 sp1. Makes the "Last xx events" section usable. As terrys1026 mentions, use "customize page" to add the new functionality to the desired page. Thank you Gob for developing this.

From what I've observed, if I assign a UnDP to a single node/machine type using the UnDP tool, then all the other nodes it was assigned to become unassigned. My suggestion would be to use the UnDP tool to assign the UnDP to a particular node and do this for all pollers you wish to remove. Then go to that node and remove…

I'm monitoring some devices through an FWSM, and haven't observed the symptoms you're experiencing. As for allowing high-numbered requests, I have never heard of doing such (or even the need to do so) in my years of working with PIX (since 5.2) or ASA or FWSM. You mentioned that these are connected via site-to-site VPN.…

I've noticed something similar: running NoScript and I need to trust localhost:17779. I'd really like to know what the browser is trying to retrieve from the local host.

Which product are you using for config management? CatTools? NCM? The way I do this is via policy reports in NCM. 1: Create rules that will implement the SNMPv3 configuration for a given HW/SW platform. Repeat this step for each different config syntax. 2: Create policy reports for each of your platforms. 3: Add the…

We've seen a similar issue on one of our pollers as well. NPM 10.2.2, core 2011.2.2 We rebuilt the box thinking the OS was corrupted but the issue did not disappear with the rebuild. A consistent symptom is that we can try to stop all services but the Job Engine v2 never finishes stopping. Reboot of the server is required.…

That should be the case. Meantime, if you want to completely disable topology discovery in 10.1.x, run the below query on your NPM database. This will remove the topology discovery from any currently defined discovery jobs. If you define any new discovery jobs, then you'll need to re-run the query. I was having the same…

I would also be running a couple icmpEcho operations on that router as well. One of which would be icmpEcho to your provider edge and the other would be icmpEcho to the external site you're using as a test (I use the Dilbert page). This will give you a true measurement of the response time from your provider and across…

Last time I looked into the MIBs, there was not support for monitoring power supply or fan status. When you find an OID that might give you your data, you can query the Nexus device to see if the OID is supported. The first command to run is "show snmp internal oids supported create". This creates a table of what OIDs are…

A coworkers cube that we often refer to as "the warehouse".

Have you looked into netstat? This would be run on the server itself rather than from a remote host. You could run a script that would look into the output to see if a particular string (i.e. the port number when using the "-n" netstat option) and return a code depending on if found or not found.

Something else that would help you is to make sure dependencies are defined such that you can unmanage a single node, such as the node the ISP does maintenance on. When the ISP-managed node becomes unreachable the downstream nodes should go into an Unknown state rather than Down. 

I solve this in my environment by having separate node groups for the active and standby units. Part of the conditions for the policy is whether the node is in the node group for the active boxes rather than the standby boxes. This can probably also be done through custom properties (i.e. a field to designate active or…

I'm having a similar issue but it has nothing to do with Cisco switches. We're monitoring some clinical devices that are attached via wireless. Whenever the device negotiates a speed change I am receiving 3 event messages: "Configured interface speed changed from x to y", "User defined Transmit bandwidth changed from x to…

My first guess would be to verify that the reports are in the same directory as the user has specified for their reports folder (Account settings, right under 'Default Menu Bars and Views').

To do this you would have to add custom properties to the object type (node, volume, or interface) that you want to have custom values for. You then create an alert that checks the value of the added property. Custom properties are added through the Custom Property Editor application on the server.
