Well, I reckon I will post mine too. They cost a ton of money, and require a bunch of maintenance too. They are not fully house broken yet, but the bigger one rarely makes a mess. The little one is the mess maker. He just goes around, tearing everything up. They are somewhat lazy, but I have been teaching them some cool…

Well, it appears that the SolarWinds Toolset Integration utility, from the Engineer's Toolset, was the culprit. I reckon I'll post it here, just in case someone else runs into the same issue. Thank you, -Will

I use NCM to gather DHCP leases on approximately 650+ DSLAM cards every night/morning. I use a dynamic selection for my nodes, so we do not have to manually update the list. I make sure to check these options below, which gives me a single file that shows ALL output from ALL devices, combined into a single file. This file…

Both of these were like that pre NPM 12, so I do not think it has anything to do with the update. Unless, of course, the update should have corrected it.

joe.stall​ Maybe run the permission check, and if anything fails, it should be able to fix the permissions. "C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\OrionPermissionChecker.exe"

Sounds like a pain to me. As I have said before, I would rather make changes manually, although a semi-auto macro standing by would not seem to be a bad idea. I would not mind a system to advise as to the best option at the time, perhaps showing the affects of the change(s) once made. But when it comes to actually making…

atkinsd​ You can select all of the interfaces, edit, and then select the "Display interface as unplugged rather than down." After you save it, they should all clear, and you will not get alerts on them anymore. Or, if you no longer need them, you can select all of the interfaces, then delete them. If you delete the…

I am pretty interested in seeing how this plays out... I am also interested to know what the braintrust at SolarWinds thinks... sqlrockstar​ adatole​ patrick.hubbard​ tdanner​ aLTeReGo​ Presuming this thing runs super smooth and stable in Linux, without all of the standard Microsoft overhead, what are some potential…

ACDII​ Yes, you are correct, you will need to join the two tables by "NodeID". Here is an example of how you can join both tables. SELECT TOP 10nd.NodeID,nd.Caption,nd.IP_Address,ns.ResponseTimeFROM dbo.NodesData AS ndJOIN dbo.NodesStatistics AS ns ON nd.NodeID=ns.NodeID You can now use "ns." to pull/filter the data in the…

bardeev‌ If Santa brings me some free time next week, I will put together a guide for how to accomplish the task/feature you are requesting about. Here are some screenshots to hold you over. This first screenshot shows you "Level 4:" does exist... well... if you make it exist... This second screenshot shows the node tree…

soley1234​ I recently had the same issue myself, needing to sort by active time, seeing the most recent on top. I could not figure a way to get the widget to save the sort order, so I went digging. Anyone looking for a workaround, just edit the following file, and change the default. (This will change the default sort on…

jeffreyc‌ I believe you can achieve this by going into the NCM settings, and then down to the Configs link in the Configs section. Then go down to the "Config Comparisons" section, and change the settings to "Display the number of lines" I THINK this is how it is done... but I have been wrong more times than right... I had…

For a professional SNMP trapper, you always seem to make great stuff, mblackburn​. Here is a real time view of this (without the graphs), which shows you how fast you can access your data.

ashley.orr​ Sending email now!

kbuska‌ If you have a license for an additional poller, you should be able to install all of your other modules on any additional pollers licensed. I believe the additional pollers only have a single license, for the poller itself, and require no other licenses for/from any other modules. -Will

c.gura‌ did you ever find the answer for this? I have just recently been working with similar tasks, creating/modifying .ascx files/resources, and would like to know as much as I can about it. Thank you, -Will

kweevuss I thought there was a default report that showed exactly that, however, my brain is unable to remember exactly where to find it... or, there is a very very very good chance I am just flat out wrong... very good chance... I have attached the report I use. I do not remember where, exactly, this came from, but I have…

rainger​ Using the SDK/API side of SolarWinds is likely going to be the most flexible way to "auto-provision" your devices, so to speak. There is actually a THWACKcamp session on this tomorrow, if you have time. There's an API for That: Introduction to the SolarWinds Orion SDK Otherwise, you would probably benefit from…

Email sent! I'm open nearly all of next Tues-Thurs, just let me know.

kange0010​ There should be a default job (NCM) to do exactly that. On the NCM Jobs page (/Orion/NCM/Resources/Jobs/JobsList.aspx) you should see a job called "Default Purge Config Job". You will need to copy/edit that job, adjusting the schedule and retention period for the configs. Please let us know if you need any…

We are using 10.4 and I have seen the same thing happen numerous times now. We have even seen all the interfaces on a node added without anyone actually working on the node/interfaces in NPM. I opened a support ticket and was told the SolarWinds development team has seen this issue and is aware of it. Just waiting for an…

julionavarro1414 I do not think SolarWinds is there, just yet, with the features you are wanting/needing... Not easily, anyway. However, there are many requests for such things, and I am fairly certain the SolarWinds NTA crew has this on their list of things to do. I have not had a chance to update to the latest version…

CONGRATS!! WOOT WOOT!!! Keep up all the good work RT!

tlight​ Here is the post I was actually thinking about, although the previously mentioned post is the same thing. Automated Config clean up Please let us know if it is the solution you are looking for. Thank you, -Will

tlight​ I believe cnorborg​ has posted a solution to this same question/use case. I have it bookmarked, somewhere, and will post a link to it here once I find it again. But, you might want to take a look through his content, and see if you can find it first. I think his post was showing a way to do it through the…

My first experience with our SolarWinds environment was a bit over 10 years ago, and I only used it to see red/green dots. As our network grew, and the responsibilities of the other folks moved around, I started adding/removing nodes. At that point, management had decided to replace it with a different vendor. While we…

ebradford​ Great work! I am actually in the middle of building a few views and reports for this exact purpose. (Though, I am doing most via SWQL) I, too, would be very interested in seeing "part 3", as that is pretty much where I'm stuck at the moment. (With my current project, and the timing of your post here... well, I…

freid.42‌ You can always show them the goods with the official Orion Demo site... usually a good starting place. OrionDemoSite And, to answer your questions, yes, and yes, NCM should be able to accommodate your config storage needs. -Will
