As long as NCM is part of the NPM- a node has to exist on NPM for NCM to use. Unless you plan on installing NCM as a standalone on another server, I don't think there is a way to separate this. However, you can add a node to NPM as external node which doesn't have any polling and still add it to NCM.

The graphs are not real time- they are made from perodic polls. Or in more precision- average of the collected poll data within set period. In that graph, it is showing the aggregate polls of 10 minutes. Default poll period is 9 minutes, so those are mostly just 1 poll point. So that means that you won't have a flatline if…

Try running using the "As administrator" option. http://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/188463#188572 Seems to be a typical problem for many.

Hmm, well first I would test if it is still an issue with autodiscover. Try adding some that were deleted and then manually rediscover/trigger autodiscover and see if they vanish from that. Otherwise, it might be a database issue, but you'll need to either log on to the server where SW is hosted to check its event logs or…

NPM_NV_WL_REPORT_CLIENTS_V is the table you want for most of statistics of wireless clients. http://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/53388 gives a sample report for # unique wireless clients by MAC I did before.

Just test stuff out. HTML_link = http://google.com, then just google.com HTML_text = feeling lucky, then test with blank, then with a single space and add the HTML code to the custom resource. By defualt if the source is invalid, it's domain is assumed to be in the NPM, and by default the text is the link text.

Not as far as I know. However, you can create a dynamic link in which you can click to transfer you over to the right view. Below is a link I created for the custom HTML link resource. <a href="http://[IP ADDRESS]/Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?netobject=N:${NodeID}&viewid=X"> Link text </a> Replace [IP ADDRESS] , X and…

? Sure you can. Just make a new Advanced SQL report or edit one of the existing ones (the ones with the yellow O symbols) and save as a new report. Note: ALL reports can be seen as SQL by going Report->Show SQL Btw, if you are going to generate your own monthly totals: Use DISTINCT rc.Client_Mac AS Mac_Address rather than…

I don't see what is the problem- If you are generating the link text using the nodeID, you can have the link be whatever your browser can handle. ex: Click http://abc.dec.glsjdaf/Orion/NodeDetails.aspx?netobject=N:${NodeID}&viewid=2 for more info about ${NodeName}. The browser/mail client is the one in charge of making…

I'm using Chrome in that screenshot, but the issue is still there on IE. Still same thing with other computers. I'm guessing this might be an issue with how the page is set up and that I am "highlighting" some random frame or other portion of the page when I select the ip. Though I can't see where or why that would be the…

You can do what you want by creating the right groups/views and using the Network Altas. By editting the properties of an object on the map, you can define what determines the status color of the object (drag your orion group onto the blue box in status). However, normally, this will make the hyperlink point to the page…

Had this problem too, but found the solution: Rather than the value Interface.InterfaceSpeed, use Interface.InBandwidth and Interface.OutBandwidth . Rather than bug my SQL database engineer, what I did was to make a custom SQL report like so: SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Nodes INNER JOIN Interfaces ON (Nodes.NodeID =…

This isn't alert suppression- this is simply unmanaging the nodes so that SW does not poll it (and thus can't get any status regarding if a node went down or not). That said, concerning the original question - 1) Note that "offline for any reason" is not as descriptive as you might think. Does that alert whenever the node…

Check http://thwack.solarwinds.com/community/solarwinds-community/product-blog/blog/2011/06/10/data-aggregation-and-summarization-for-netflow-nta Basically, yes, but you have to change it from the database directly rather than the Web UI and they do not recommend it. There are also finer settings to be found there like…

This looks more of an issue of the testing than the alert message. What are you putting for your test node/interface/volume? Remember that it takes the variables from the table of what you specify. So if you have InterfaceID but are alerting from a node, it'll just display ${InterfaceID}. Also, remember that custom…

Custom views are not the only way to place limitations on accounts, or even really a secure way. Though custom views might hide certain nodes from view, it does not prevent accounts from actually accessing or editing those nodes through a different link (ie links generated by reports) or just typing the correct html. If…

It's cause the single group limitation is meant to restrict... seeing other groups- not other nodes outside the group. As in, if you had an All Groups resource in there, it would only show AP Group. To limit the nodes accessible/viewable, you'll need to either add account limitation of "group of nodes" or "ip address…

There is a bug regarding the alert reseting the trigger for a custom SQL alert, regardless of if you changed anything or not. However, it is part of its design for the alert to reset the alert if the trigger conditions did change. A workaround for it is to disable the alert (so it doesn't trigger any actions) right before…

NPM detects when you try to add a node with a duplicate IP. It will not add a new node, but simply will be as you did a rediscovery and edit its properties. You can recognize it as it will auto populate the original custom properties and such. Not sure what happens if it is due to a ip conflict/reused ip. NPM does not…

Note that NCM rights are NOT the same as NPM rights and are located under the section Network Configuration Manager Settings in the account settings page. Check to see if they have admin rights under that.

I don't think either alert will work the way you wanted- For the first, no single event will have volume description of E: and F:, so that alert will never fire. For the second, it will only need either E:, F:, or a fixed disk have <300MB. EDIT: nvm, group alerts only have status updates. Unfortunately, there's no simple…

http://thwack.solarwinds.com/community/solarwinds-community/product-blog/blog/2011/06/10/data-aggregation-and-summarization-for-netflow-nta http://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/193326#193326 The limits of the web console do not exist if you change it directly, but it isn't recommended to go over that.

If the polling engine is on it's own server, you could just add that server as a node in SW and treat it as any other server. I don't think that this statistic is recorded by default anywhere though.

http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1485 One of the main reasons we have not updated to 10.4 yet.

At least for 10.3 , this occurs if you use a number at the start of a custom property name. Just make it CP01_aaa CP02_aaa, and so forth. If you only care about the order you see them in a page view, you can also create a custom HTML resource (Misc->custom HTML) that populates them in whatever order by linking them…

I believe location is autopopulated by the snmp location OID. Whenever it does a rediscovery, it might be overriding that with what it finds in the snmp location, which is blank in this case. Note that some autopopulated properties are overwritten every once in a while, but some are only done when a node/interface/volume…

The main things I'd like to see are: Better handling of the import (I'm still not sure how it handles automatic placing in groups and nested groups, esp as you can have multiple groups/subnets with the same name BUT it won't let you import them with the same name) Creation of "logical" sets/groups of ips/subnets. Similar…

Seen this before for Node.Status on Advanced Alerts Manager. Solution was to run the application as an Administrator then select it again and save it.

EDIT: Oh wait, this is for IPMonitor. My solution is for NPM's web console and such, don't know if it'll work for your issue. There is no way for it to be displayed at the top with the Node Name, but there are plenty of places where it can appear. First, it appears already in the default tooltip for the nodes. Just hover…

Note, this information is from Windows Server 2008 R2. Try to check out the system events in Event Viewer. Solarwinds has a seperate set of events under Applications and Services. IE. I have a task attached to events for email failure (Event ID 3004) that mails a gmail account should it fail to mail to the internal email.…
