  • Thanks for the response. I am trying with a 5508 and with different IOS. So for its still not working for me. Yes, TFTP is slow.nsk Thanks again Zak
  • Has this been resolved? Me may also be seeing the same issue. Thanks, Zak Kahl Loop1 Systems
  • I notice on older versions of NPM, autologin wasn't an option and only local accounts were supported. What version of NPM are you running? 9.1 won't support this feature, but it is available in 10.x. I am not sure when it was first available. Zak Kahl Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com
  • HI Karen, You can add more fields to only pick those devices you need. Or add a filter for those devices. You may want to create a custom property for those devices you want in the report, then choose it under "filter results". The report writer is quite a tool, and you can create most any reports needed. Zak Kahl Loop1…
  • Looking closely on you picture, I notice the arrow on your reset email action. This is shown when you are executing the the email action repeatedly under trigger email, but this shouldn't be an option under reset email action. It may be easier just do delete the reset email action, then copy the msg from trigger email…
  • SSHv2 corrects some security in SSHv1. Best practice to use SSHv2 when possible. I believe SSH Auto should find the best version to use with the end device. I believe it will use SSHv2 before SSHv1 when possible. The default is to take the global settings for each node. I would take a working device, then compare the IOS…
  • Thanks for the responses. If I remember correctly it would never display the page, so I couldn't select less msgs. I will attempt these when I visit the client again. Thanks, Zak
  • No problem. Sometimes the simple ones are the harder ones to see. It happens to all of us. Good luck Zak Kahl Loop1 Systems
  • It interesting how tricky it can be to identify the VM's from the physical servers. Why not just use a custom property? That would be a quick and easy fix. Then you can filter on that custom property in your report. Zak Kahl Loop1 Systems
  • I do see a section in the IPAM admin guide about setting this up for Cisco. You may want to take a look and make sure all the credentials are set correctly. Also make sure you are on a recent version of IPAM. I see a couple years ago it wasn't supported for CNR.
  • I remember I had an issue like this a few years ago. If i remember correctly, the fix was playing with some values when on the poller. I don't remember exactly what it was, and I currently don't have a Solarwinds Environment that I work on. You may want to post this question on the general NPM board to see if anyone else…
  • OK, so the email portion isn't working but the reset alert is. I would drill into the email action under Reset Actions and check the Time Of day settings and SMTP server settings. They should be identical to the one that works for Trigger actions -> Email alert. Zak
  • Thanks all for confirming. All went well yesterday as I was hoping. Been a while so wasn't sure if there was something else changes with 12.3/14.4 NTA, Thanks! 
  • Curious if you got it to work with NCM 7.1. I will be troubleshooting this issue today with a client, and any heads up would be appreciated. Thanks, Zak Kahl Loop1 Systems Http://www.loop1systems.com
  • Yes, if you are looking for the value of Original Status then not equal to Normal is correct. If you want to trigger on Status then "not equal to UP" is what you want to use. Zak Kahl Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com
  • I agree. 10.4 will make things much easier. You will automatically get power/temp/Fan with 10.4 from devices that support this feature. If you want to stick with the UNDP, then you will need to identify the OID's and apply them using the universal device poller. Then you can then build alerts to trigger on those values…
  • Thanks David, To be safe with the recommendations here, pause before upgrade. Then undo pause after upgrades are completed. Thanks! Zak
  • Bruce, I don't think this will be possible with Syslog Viewer or on the console Syslog viewer. But you could run a quick report for those messages you are looking for. Report Writer - Select Syslog report, add fields you want in report and filter down to the messages you want. Or just run a query- select * from Syslog…
  • Scott, I tested this with NPM 10.4 and it worked. Can you drop a snapshot of your report writer screens. Also, if you are trying to modify a existing canned report, you should try to recreate an new report. If you haven't yet. You can make it identical to the existing one. I have seen that resolve issues like this. Zak
  • Nice work getting it to work. I will make a mental note that a preceding '0' is needed before the decimal. Zak Kahl http;//www.loop1systems.com
  • TCTSL, Connection refused by host usually means you are using ssh and the node is expecting telnet, or vice versa. I would make sure you can connect with a session directly from the Orion server. Could be that there is an ACL that is blocking the Orion connection. Under NCM - Advanced setting you can also run a session…
  • The bottom conditions aren't under the trigger group. If you look closely you will see them alligned with the main trigger. Also, I see the new trigger alert is under the above trigger alert, this won't work also. Make sure the rules are ordered correctly. Make sure you are selecting the trigger alert when you put in "add…
  • If you click on Settings -> Web Console Settings. Then you should see a box that says "Windows Account Login". Over here you can change it to Enable automatic login. This will use the local authentication to login into Orion. Zak Kahl Loop1 Systems. http://www.loop1systems.com
  • Since you are on 10.3, you can upgrade straight to 10.4. Remember to look at the hot fixes as well after the upgrade, you should install them as we have seen these issues. 10.4.1 should be released very soon, it may be worth your while to hold off a few days until this is available. Upgrades are described in these two…
  • No, it should work on the existing alert. Its is probably already looking for the "down" status. The parent is still a node and will still trigger the normal alerts even though its a parent in the dependency. 
  • Steve, I don't think the node status is required since it will suppress the alerts if the node is down. The status of the applications goes into an "unknown" state and therefore won't trigger the "down" trigger condition. Zak Kahl http://www.loop1systems.com
  • Nice job Steve, This looks like it should work. All 3 conditions will have to be true, and you have nested them correctly. This will only be active for servers nyctx01 and nyctx02. Also, remember these alerts will get suppressed automatically if the server goes down. This is a nice built in feature! Zak Kahl…
  • Thanks everyone. Yes, NAT is the obvious solution but won't be wont scale well if you start talking a large amount of IP's to NAT. I was hoping someone had some trick with IP+SNMP STRING or IP+Customer property, or something else. But yes, it does come down to polling the IP which you can't have duplicates.
  • Try this. I currently don't have a current environment to test but I have done similar conversion with Variables, but not with custom properties. The type of custom property may need to be a number and not text value. This should convert to gb. ${Caption} is below the value ${SQL:Select (${DiskSpaceAlert}/1073741824)} gb…
  • Jeremy, In Network atlas, it is behaving correctly. You won't see the translated values until you view the maps on the console. The same applies for other entries that you can add to the Maps, ${IP_Address}, ${Vendor}, etc. You will see the values when view the maps in the console. Thanks Zak
