Don't know how many times I have asked myself why this isn't possible. Great idea!

I agree. The view it provides is valuable but giving management rights just to have that view has caused me problems.

I agree, we need to have some kind of user control with UDT. Users being able to shut down ports is a big one. Hey, what's this button do?

I agree with backing up the databases, critical step. If your SW server is virtualized you want to take a snapshot of that too. In the rare event something drastic goes wrong you can restore everything. Should go smoothly..

I do not do any alert supression within my alerts, all are accomplished through the dependencies. I do not have an answer as to why you received an alert, someone else may. I do know that in your senerio where you want to make everything behind the remote router a child to that router your alerts will be surpressed, I do…

The bandwidth setting are normally applied to the router interface with the 'bandwidth' statement. NPM will pull that information automatically. Another option is under the interface details there is an edit interface link where you can set a custom bandwidth.

You can tell the job to log results. Does the log tell you anything?

I believe if Server_A goes down then Server_B should go to the Unreachable mode. I am not sure how SolarWinds reacts when that child does not go down. Usually the dependency is to suppress alerts when everything behind the parent will go down at the same time. If you have a switch and it goes down SolarWinds suppresses all…

Go to manage nodes and Edit Properties of that device, there you will find the SNMP configuration. Under the configuration you will see a 'Test' button. If you devices are configured correctly and your settings here match it will come back with a "Test Successful!' If that passes you should be seeing what you are looking…

AlTeReGo, I am working on setting up AppInsight for SQL and I have a question about the script in the AppInsight for SQL Requirements and Permissions. I see that the script listed in the AppInsight for SQL Requirements and Permissions creates a db user named AppInsightUser. When I go to Set up AppInsight for SQL and it…

The alerts on child will display any alerts that are present on the child sites. If none of the child sites are down, nothing will be displayed there. 

You have a couple more components than I do, but that is pretty much the order I do mine in.

I believe I had a simular problem once. Make sure the netflow Source IP ( in your case 10.254.0.50) is the IP of the Modeled device in SolarWinds.

Thanks, was hoping for a better answer but it is what it is. I will submit a feature request. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, I added a feature request here

Thank you aLTeReGo, I am monitoring with WMI in Orion. The processes that do not appear to be operating are both component types "Process Monitor - WMI All the other monitored components are funtioning properly.

I don't see any indication that the alert engine was down at all, in fact I had been receiving other alerts of different types throughout the night.

Thanks, I really simplified it but I still get the same error: I tried changing Numeric Status to just Status and the CustomPollerAssignmentID pops in. Happens on two seperate installs, might have to open a ticket.

I had not seen the troubleshooting guide. I did however figure out that I needed to go into each device and List Resources then select the Resources and Statistics that I wanted to monitor. I appreciate the guide it will help in the next phase of monitoring my devices in the DMZ.

If you edit the custom property is the Grouping check box selected as below?

The unknown object are object that are responding to ping only and cannot be polled thru either SNMP or WMI. If they are windows boxes create a domain user wiuth rights to monitor via WMI. If they are network devices configure the devices with SNMP and select SolarWinds to monitor via SNMP.

If you create a group for all of your remote sites and make that group dependent to the interface on the router that goes down when the link goes down they will all be labeled as unreachable. I would assume WPM would know if the site is not reachable that it will suppress the alerts also, but I do not know that for sure.

If you go to manage nodes and find this server. Expand the server with the plus sign. If you see the E drive there, try deleting it from this screen.

I found the answer to the VLAN authorization error by adding the "snmp-server group GROUP v3 auth context vlan-xxx" to the snmp configuration of the devices. However there are still several other authorization errors that remain and the compatibility checker report gives different reading depending on the device I am…

You need to monitor the device with SNMP and add the interfaces you are interested in through the List Resources tab. You will then see the interfaces displayed while looking at the node details. You can click on the interface and see an assortment of graphs and details. Hope this helps.

I should have searched Thwack earlier as I found the answer in another post. I have to run Alert Manager as Administrator.

Along with the upgrade to NCM I did upgrades to NPM to 10.6 and SAM to 6.0.0. These custom properties were not there before my upgrades. Had to be one of the three I guess :-)

Did you upgrade to NCM 7.2 recently? I see these exact entries showing up in my log at the same time I was upgradeing to 7.2..

Submitted a TAC. Answer is NCM does not support SNMP v3 AES-192 or AES-256 encryption. Planned for future release.

It looks like you are trying to download your configs with the login credentials and not SNMP. It looks like youe default login is trying to use Telnet to log in. Either change it to SSH if you block telnet or change the request Configs Using to reflect SNMP. Edit the properties and under NCM properties you will see…
