I just setup the evaluation of LEM and I can't figure out how to turn off the simulated test traffic?
Hi, Byron.
What version of the LEM Console are you running?
If you are using the 5.3 evaluation Console, see: Stopping the Data Simulator in a LEM Evaluation Console.
If you are using the 5.3.1 (latest) evaluation Console, you should have a Stop button on the Data Simulator widget:
Let us know if neither of these fixes your problem.
Thanks.
P.S. You can see your Console version by clicking the SolarWinds logo in the upper-left corner.
That's interesting because that resembles a bug that we had in the data simulator in the 5.3 Console. If you don't mind, double-check the version by clicking the logo in the upper-left, and then try the steps outlined in the KB linked above. If you're on 5.3.1 and you're having that problem, that's something I'll have to report to Dev. In either case, hopefully the workaround in the KB will work for you. If it doesn't, we can get a Sales Engineer involved.
Thanks again!
Think of adding nodes as an outside-in sort of process. You will either install a LEM Agent on a computer (server, workstation, etc.), or you'll configure some other sort of device to log to the LEM appliance (a firewall, for example).
If you let me know what you have in mind, I will probably be able to link you to some instructions.
Here are a few examples of how to integrate devices with LEM:
You can also browse the following sections of the LEM KB for similar articles:
We don't have KB articles for everything we support; so, if you don't find what you're looking for in our KB, check the following page for a complete list of the devices we support:
Hope that helps!
Hi, Byron. Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday.
At this point, I think it would be more time-effective if you were in touch with a Sales Engineer. If you've already touched base with someone in Sales, they can get you in touch with an Engineer. Otherwise, PM me your contact into and I'll touch base with one of the guys here in Post Falls.
Thanks again.
