llinteau12 No worries, it's actually quite simple. Your SolarWinds user account needs to be able/have access, to customize views. Click on the "Customize Page" link on the top right corner of the page. (Little green and white icon) Once you are on the "Customize Views" page, you will need to click the green "+" icon next…

in How Can I See All Devices Using a Specific NCM Connection Profile Comment by wluther July 2016

rschroeder You and your fancy new versions... lol

in I would like to run a JOB in NCM(network configuration manager),how can i do that? Comment by wluther December 2016

Okay, then I'd say to pick a model, and start investigating. Make sure NCM is pulling inventory data on those devices. If all of those checks out, and still no serials, then you'll have to keep going. Perhaps manually get the serial for a few devices, then do some SNMP walks, and look to match the known serial. When the…

in Port count report Comment by wluther November 2015

bobmarley In short, no, I don't think so. You can, however, take the filter portion of a different resource, and piece together something that could work. But that would definitely require some coding experience. There are plenty of examples on Thwack, of users building these, but I do not yet posses the knowledge to do…

in Is there any way to break out a single group from the 'All Groups' resource? Comment by wluther July 2017

noobes No, the writelock command is just something my specific device (Accedian Nid) requires before being able to show the config. On the SolarWinds side of things, I think you would be looking for the "UseMultipleDownloadCommands" option. With that enabled, you should be able to capture the results of multiple commands…

in Is it possible to run multiple commands via one command in a device template Comment by wluther May 2018

Radioteacher Yeah, way down to Broadway would be a long trip, but it might just be the nice little office break I've been looking for... Let me know.

in Did you see there's a new high-score in Thwack? Congratulations to Eric for breaking 500,000 points! Comment by wluther May 2018

Unless, of course, the naming schema for all of the nodes allowed for such classifications... Then you could create a bunch of groups with dynamic queries based on the names of the nodes. Either way, he still will not be able to automatically fill in the data to custom properties unless he applies a different method.

bmallon Not that my word holds any value with you, as we do not know each other, but from my experiences with Kellie/UX/SolarWinds, they welcome the WHOLE story. Personally, I make it a point, on every call/interaction, to mention the things that don't sit well with me. Never, in any of my many interactions with Kellie,…

in What aspect of Orion/NPM do you find most annoying? Comment by wluther September 2014

wlipford I agree, there definitely needs to be a way to move it, and prevent it from hindering navigation. It would also be nice if it was not visible to all users, as it may only be needed by a few.

raje.vijay@eclinicalworks.com‌ I believe professionalusername‌ is referring to something along the lines of this example, Re: Chart listing Machine Types and IOS versions I think if you follow that, it will get you what you are asking for, like Matthew mentioned. -Will

rednarb Yeah, I think my brain was a bit crossed when I first replied. My examples will most likely not benefit you too much, at least not directly. However, I did post them just in case, and fired up the bat signal to bring help. My example was pretty much the opposite of what you are needing. I used NCM to read the…

in NCM that is Ping-Only - any good way to update Node Name based on Cisco config hostname? Comment by wluther September 2019

in NCM - Real-Time Change Detection Comment by wluther March 2016

hcy01uk Okay, I was able to build a report to graph closely to what we were needing. I do have a couple of questions, if/when you have time to answer. How would I show these graphs within NPM? (Custom HTML, I suppose?) How would I get the graphs to auto refresh? (add refresh line within custom HTML, I also suppose?) Still…

in NPM, Create a single view of similar "purposed" interfaces on different devices Comment by wluther March 2014

rob.hock hmmm... Silly question, maybe, but why would such a simple request (in my head at least), be so difficult to accomplish with such an advanced system? I keep doing all I can to sell it to our Engineers and suits, but they are just so used to seeing MRTG style layouts and think NPM is just a bunch of clutter. They…

in NPM, Create a single view of similar "purposed" interfaces on different devices Comment by wluther December 2013

They do show up under the "Unknown" tab, or pie slice. However, I have a simple table setup, using a SWQL query, to show me the "real" stats, which do not include the "unknown" devices. This is the SWQL query I use to create the table that shows me only the devices that either DO or DO NOT have conflicts, there is no…

in Any way to exclude a device from downloading startup configs? Comment by wluther April 2017

martian monster That little search box is simply going to take whatever you typed in there, and dump it out everywhere it finds %{Search_String}. So, if you are searching for "admin", it's going to fill in each of those lines like so: WHERE EventCode = 4740 AND ComputerName LIKE '%${Search_String}%' OR SourceName LIKE…

sysadminteam I am glad it helped. We are in the same boat, still waiting for SolarWinds to give us some better (more basic) graphing so we can finally ditch the old systems completely.

alvaro.culebras Again, I'm not 100% on this (I'll try to verify once I get a few moments back on my PC), but your connection profile will dictate how NCM will login, run scripts/commands, ask for configs, download/transfer configs, which ports to use, etc... When you edit your node, what does the NCM part of the node…

milstateit@mil.wa.gov‌ There are probably better ways to do it, however, I tend to keep close to the simple and ways that work for me. Another thing I do is create a Compliance/Policy report to let me know when a device shows up with something missing from the config. Then, I take that script that I would have manually…

in How to change the web browse link to HTTPS on node details, NPM 12? Comment by wluther August 2017

lmantonio I think NCM stores XX number of configs in the database, as well as files in folders, and archive locations. There is a job in NCM that will export your configs, from the database, to a location of your choosing. There is also a job that will purge all configs after XX amount of time (default might be 1x month).…
