  • ganeshkagde​ I believe VIM is the super basic, standard virtual info, while VMAN is the full blown virtual manager product. Other than cost, VIM is going to provide a severe limitation on what data is collected/displayed, as well as losing the "management" aspect of the product. VMAN, on the other hand, will integrate deep…
  • smiffy85​ I am pretty sure this is not currently possible in NPM. There have been numerous requests, over the years, for permissions to become more granular. And, while SolarWinds is improving, they are not quite there yet.
  • gowen.a@outlook.com‌ This SQL query should provide a list of all nodes that are servers, showing the name & IP address. (Though, it does not distinguish between physical/vm. Also, in my environment, at least, I have tons of physical desktops that show IsServer to have value of 0, so I am thinking you would be best to use…
  • gowen.a@outlook.com‌ While you are looking for an acceptable resolution/answer, you can try the SWQL query. It does provide a list of results, similar to your request, however, the query is SWQL, not SQL, and it specifically looks through the VIM/VM table. Custom SWQL VM Manager While it will not assist you with the list…
  • gowen.a@outlook.com‌ So, you just want a list of nodes that have 1 or more "Licensed Components/Application Templates" currently applied? Or, do you just want to know, out of all of the nodes being monitored, which ones are servers, and then of those servers, which are VM, and which are Physical? And, either way, you want…
  • millenium7​ While I'm not 100% on why/how your config is adding chars to the saved config, I know you can easily omit what you want from the comparison. You simply need to go to the NCM settings page, and click on the "Comparison Criteria" link: The Comparison Criteria page is where you will be able to disable various…
  • alexferg​ When seeing the list of duplicated nodes on the manage screen, do each of the duplicates have a different nodeid, or are they all the same? (Hover over each node and you will see the nodeid in the url) Also, what happens if you move just one of those duplicate nodes over to a different poller? Do they all move,…
  • christian.goulard@dpcdsb.org​ I would make as few templates as possible, that worked for as many commands as possible. If you can issue the same set of commands for all of those devices, I think you should just use a single template, removing the last couple of digits from the template OID. Thank you, -Will
  • mastranios‌ I think it would be best to have as little running on your primary poller/web server as possible. If you have the resources to run your syslog server on its own server, then I think that would be the best option. However, I suppose it really comes down to your environment (size/elements/modules/etc...), and the…
  • fnfn‌ Does vispetto‌'s response answer your question, and provide you with the results you are looking for? Re: port count If so, please mark his response as the correct answer. This will assist others with the same/similar question. Thank you, -Will
  • norearview​ I think the idea here is to create and use a specific account for your SolarWinds/NCM deployment. Then, along with using the change control/request system, you would authorize/approve changes per user. The audit trail (only in Orion/NCM) should then indicate who did what. Again, I think this is how they…
  • briancartledge I actually use an advanced alert to run an NCM command to backup the running config anytime a node reports coming back up/online, after being down. If you already use the alert to monitor the device, you can just add that action to the reset action of the alert. This way I get a fresh config of the device…
  • briancartledge I think you can create a job, running sometime after the initial job, to backup devices based on the status of the previous backup. I think you would use the "Last Login Results" as the "Group by:" on the "Choose Nodes" tab of the job. (might need to use the "Dynamic Selection" instead, and then use "Last…
  • bclower1963​ On the manage nodes page... (1) Select the nodes you want to move. (2) Click the "More Actions" drop down box. (3) Choose the "Change Polling Engine" option. (4) Choose the Polling Engine you want to move your nodes to. (5) Click the "Change Polling Engine" button towards the bottom of the pop up. That should…
  • Anyone out there have any experience using NCM to push SNMP updates/changes out to Arris MG5225G (Media Gateway) devices... or any other Arris devices...?? Still looking for any advice or experience that can be shared. We are still in need of a solution to read and write SNMP queries to manage Arris devices. Any help is…
  • donc1972‌ Here is a nice little report, from alexslv‌, Resource to display unmanaged information on the node page including user info. If you remove the "n.NodeID = '${NodeID}' AND" filter towards the end, you can use it on a main/summary page to display all unmanaged devices, with some other useful information as well.…
  • Mike Lucci‌ Can you setup a script to, just as an example, curl the page, parse the results to a file, and have SAM read the contents of that file, possibly saving contents as script variable?
  • None of you know Stu like I do. Not you! Not you! Not you! Not you! Not nobody knows Stu like I do. No one!
  • gegriggs@gmail.com​ There is actually a default job for this already created. You simply need to go to the "Jobs" link, under the main "Configs" tab. From there, you can either create a new job to perform the device backups, or you can select the existing backup job, duplicate it, and modify it to fit your needs. This is…
  • This is a very nice tool to be added to the Orion lineup. Great job SolarWinds!
  • rkalidh​ If you specifically want to work with alerts using the API, then I'd suggest going through the following documentation. Alerts · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub Otherwise, if you just want to send an email when the device comes back up, you should be able to do that via the alert reset condition, within an alert.
  • fryman​​ Well, I suppose the easiest way to do this would require you to already know which devices require which login. If you've already grouped together the ones you know for certain, you can apply the creds in bulk via the manage nodes page or the configuration management page. On either of those pages, you select all…
  • rschroeder‌ I believe they are now in the database itself. SELECT TOP 1000 [TemplateName] ,[SystemOID] ,[TemplateXml] ,[Comments] ,[UseForAutoDetect] ,[IsDefault] ,[Author] FROM [dbo].[NCM_DeviceTemplates] After I upgraded, a while back, I noticed we had many problems because they did not take any of our custom templates…
  • rossghanim not sure how you have things setup (LAN, WAN, Uplink, etc...) but we are an ISP, and we only have netflow enabled on our 2 core asr-9k uplink interfaces. After we enabled netflow on those 2 interfaces, I went into NTA settings and added IP Groups. i.e. Group A: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 Group B: 172.16.0.0 -…
  • definitely looking forward to this one. I am still trying to unlearn our previous netflow utility "Xangati" and learn SolarWinds's NTA product... Hopefully I can pick up some useful Netflow info here that will help me understand things a little better.
  • dirt​ I have built out a few views for our Engineers to use, which helps them track firmware, reboots, and various other items. Within that view, my SWQL query includes the last login status, as well as the date/time of last downloaded running and startup config. It can easily be sorted, as well as searched. Would this be…
  • within a half hour drive... hmm... well, how fast will you be driving? New Braunfels is a bit more than a half hour, but it is a nice and peaceful drive... so... what time shall we be expecting y'all?
  • SW50062 Math heh... Maybe try the "Transform Results" option in the UnDP program.
