I reckon I just do not understand why it would do that in the first place. If user-a adds 10 nodes, each node separately, then the logs show user-a has added 10 nodes. if user-b adds 10 nodes, all at the same time using network sonar, then the logs show user-b has added 0 nodes, while system has added 10. I do not…

fryman​, glad to hear you got things running smoothly!

njoylif​ I completely agree with you there. While we do use the active alerts view in some instances, we tend to use more custom resources, utilizing our CP, than anything else. It will be nice when everything within the SolarWinds system can fully utilize all aspects/features of the products. Just takes time, I suppose.…

rob.hock‌ any plans on implementing ${N=Alerting;M=Downtime;F=DateTime}, or some other formatting condition to easily allow for a "Days Hours:Minutes:Seconds" output? Perhaps something to show output in the same way/format the "Alert Active Time" column shows on the active alerts page...

cahunt‌ Texas knows this truth, for sure...

rharland2012 Thank you very much for the information. I will keep this in mind for future issues. -Will

Deltona​ Are you seeing all of the other metrics showing up, only missing the interface stats? I am having a similar issue, but only on my APE, and that environment is still on 12.2. Primary server appears to poll and show everything from all elements. APE appears to randomly stop polling interface statistics only. The APE…

rob.hock Ewwwwww.... no bueno!

njiquezon​ No worries, happy to help, and glad you found a solution. Thank you, -Will

cjfranca​ Not sure what is going on with the screenshots, but they are not showing for me. Also, when I click them, they take me to a "440 Login Timeout" page, with a URL pointing to outlook.office.com. Please attach those screenshots again, so we can see what is going on.

I agree with JaroslawLadyga​. We use custom property thresholds for various volume alerts, completely bypassing the use of default/override thresholds. We do, however, adjust thresholds for various nodes for some alerts. Both ways work well for us. Then your alert scope can be limited to only those nodes with a value…

I also run one on my interfaces, as I have been seeing various nodes lose polling to interfaces only, while still pulling in node stats.

malcolmsalmons​ I believe I may have misunderstood you, when referencing groups. NCM actually has it own grouping, as far as I know, which is the "Node Group" option I mentioned above. After I re-read your post, I am pretty sure you are referring to the main "Groups" option in NPM. While definitely not the ideal way to do…

All of the interfaces having this issue are 1Gbps interfaces with a 1Gbps Interface Bandwidth & Configured Interface Speed. It appears the extremely high utilization % error has not shown up in the events since unchecking the 64 bit counter option, however, the MAC address is still showing an incorrect string of…

The issue is occurring on 1Gbps interfaces, all of which are correctly and manually set within NPM. We did "uncheck" the 64-bit counter option on a few of the 1Gbps interfaces/devices today, and have not seen them come back in error. We will continue to monitor it over the next week or so just in case.

I have manually set the bandwidth to 1Gbps, to match the interface speed. I originally thought this would fix the issue, but it had continued. I am not sure where to go within the DB, nor am I sure what exactly I would be looking for. But, I can look and tell you, if you can provide me the instructions telling me where I…

nickzourdos Did you run the configuration wizard, selecting the option for "website", after you copied the files? If not, you might want to try that. If you have already done that, and it is still not working, then, unfortunately, I do not know what else to tell you. Hope it helps...

orionfan​ I believe you would need to point the policy towards your new config type, then re-run the compliance report after downloading the new config type from the devices. I hope I am not too far off track here. Hopefully a more experienced Thwacker will stop by shortly and make any necessary corrections. Thank you,…

mebway Thank you for the information. Hopefully it will not take too long to get this functionality working, as these DDoS attacks are only increasing in number, and we need a better way to mitigate them... I will keep a lookout for the product updates. Thanks, -Will

cahunt Were you meaning that the audit trail data, for the time, is actually missing? Or, were you looking in the wrong location (Events V.S. Audit)? newkidd2 I was under the impression cahunt looked through the logs and could not find any reference to those events. However, now that I saw your post, and re-read his, I am…

cahunt garrethcoleman We are having the same issue(s). We have an open case: Case # 585417 - Audit events lacks information We first noticed ours when we unmanaged some interfaces. I checked the message center to make sure they were unmanaged, yet the only thing that showed up for the day was user logins. (option was set…

adam.beedell​ Ah, yes, that is a wonderful idea. I, too, would like better records when it comes to elements being added/removed/changed. I would really like to know who added the node, when it was added, and any time(s) it has changed since, also with user account stamps. I have experienced countless times where we needed…

I'm glad to hear your issue has been resolved.

trilobite rex​ Glad to hear you got it working. If you have time, please mark one of the responses as correct so we can help the next person that has the same question. Thank you, -Will

amrutpat​ If I had to bet, I would bet a nickel that NPM 12.2 is expected to be released when it's ready... But I'm not 100% on that one...

scotc It is there, but for NPM 10.7, not 10.6. Also, if you were to disable the topology pollers through that manage poller option, it seems it would actually qualify all of your devices through that sql query. I reckon they decided to put those fields on every device in the db, and simply go by enabled=0 or enabled=1.…

cooper.cash​ Ah, here you go. Try what I mention in the following post:Script to remove characters out of host name I know that post is asking to remove chars, and you are wanting to add chars, but the solution is the same. Create custom property to hold new name. Create NCM job to run command on device(s). Use new custom…
