Nexus CLI Polling Error "Test Failed. Cannot enter Enable Level 0"
Trying to figure out how to setup alerts for "err-disable, arp inspection" in Orion
Has anyone gotten err-disable alerts for: link-flap, Arp Inspection, Port Security Violation's? I have been working on this for about a month or so. The only thing I have figured out is the OID (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.548.1.3.1.1.2). I would like alerts for a select few of the OID options or at least these are my main focus..
6:linkFlap
9:portSecurityViolation
16:arpInspection
I figured I would need to choose "Custom Interface Poller" for the "I want to alert on:". I am not having any luck with it.
My "scope of alert" is: Node -> is equal to -> Cisco
I can't seem to figure out the "The actual trigger condition:" settings.

Nexus CLI Polling weirdness
I'm having an issue configuring CLI polling for the Nexus Leaf and Spine switches in our ACI fabric.
Using exactly the same username and password, CLI Polling test fails with "Test Failed. Connection Refused by <IP>", but both Putty and NCM connection test works perfectly?
Has anyone come across this issue, or have any suggestions on how to debug this one?
Alerting on "vCenter Status" under "Virtual Center Details" Resource
I was working on setting some Advanced Alerts through Alerts Manager for our VM Hosts and was wondering how I can create an alert when the "vCenter Status" goes down or cannot be polled? I am not seeing anything related to vSphere or VMWare under the "Type of Property to Monitor" on the Trigger Alert tab. Is this under another category?
Thanks
Import nodes from file in NPM
I need to add approximately 500 ICMP nodes to NPM 12.1. I have an excel file with node names and associated IP addresses. Is there a way to add all and include the node name? When I do discover with just the IP addresses, the tool names all nodes with their IP addresses since they do not have SNMP ability.

Cisco Catalyst 9300
Hi all,
I am starting to use Cisco Catalyst 9300 switches in our network, but I can see that my Solarwinds only sees them as:
Machine Type | ![]() | Cisco |
Solarwinds don´t detect them as a C9300 model like it does with a C2960 etc.
Anybody knows how to fix this or will this be updated in a later version of NPM??

All Primary Routers have .0 Polling IP
I am starting to scan in devices on my network and have a strange issue when doing subnet scans. All my primary routers are getting assigned a .0 polling address, then showing as down immediately once added to SolarWinds. I am having to manually touch each one and change it. The backup routers are not having this issue. Any ideas on why this would be happening?
Alert Severity Setting in NPM 10.7
Hello
Recently we successfully completed the integration of our NPM and BMC for our alerting, but got problem with the severity setting. For some reason the severity setting (critical, warning...) on the page of Alert Sharing couldn't be sent to BMC properly with ${severity}, what BMC received is only a number either 0 or 100000000. My question is if there's any way to pass the severity setting (critical, warning...) on the page of Alert Sharing to BMC and through which variable or parameter. Thank you!

Having trouble with Custom SQL Alert
I have a SQL query that checks our store subnets for less than 128 IP addresses (we had an issue last week where some data mysteriously disappeared from IPAM awhile ago, and we just now realized it. so we would like to know immediately I have it running as a report, but i would like to set it up as an alert instead. Here is the query:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT n.IPAddress) AS [Count],
g.FriendlyName as StoreNumber
FROM IPAM_Node n
JOIN [dbo].[IPAM_Group] g
ON n.SubnetId = g.GroupId
WHERE g.CIDR = 25
GROUP BY g.FriendlyName,
g.CIDR
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT n.IPAddress) < 128;
Now i'm having trouble with setting it up as a new alert:
what should i use from the dropdown to make this validate?

Need some dynamic resources on a customer view
We are an MSP and we use an Orion suite to monitor customer devices and applications. I would like to create both reports and PerfStack projects showing essentially the same information for every customer, but have the content be filtered based on the customer viewing it. In other words, I want to place those resources on a common view for all of our customers so that when they login, they can click on the report or the PerfStack project and see the latest data for their "stuff". The report needs to be exportable to Excel so certain customers can do further offline data manipulation.
Has anyone done this sort of thing? Will custom SQL/SWQL be involved? Thanks for any help.
Table for PagerDuty Alert Counts
I'm attempting to create a custom report and custom table that simply displays the sum of all alerts with PagerDuty in the name triggered over the last day, 7 days, and 30 days. I've modified a report I found on the forums but I'm not very handy with SQL and I think I'm missing the sums portion as it doesn't seem to be adding up correctly. Here's where I am so far would anyone be willing to assist?
Thanks!
SELECT DISTINCT ahv.Name 'Alert Name' ,ISNULL(lastOne.Qty,0) 'Last 1 Day' ,ISNULL(lastSeven.Qty,0) 'Last 7 Days' ,ISNULL(lastThirty.Qty,0) 'Last 30 Days' FROM AlertHistoryView ahv FULL OUTER JOIN (SELECT Name ,COUNT(1) 'Qty' FROM AlertHistoryView WHERE EventTypeWord = 'Triggered' AND TimeStamp > (GetDate()-1) GROUP BY Name) lastOne ON ahv.Name = lastOne.Name FULL OUTER JOIN (SELECT Name ,COUNT(1) 'Qty' FROM AlertHistoryView WHERE EventTypeWord = 'Triggered' AND Name LIKE '%PagerDuty%' AND TimeStamp > (GetDate()-7) GROUP BY Name) lastSeven ON ahv.Name = lastSeven.Name FULL OUTER JOIN (SELECT Name ,COUNT(1) 'Qty' FROM AlertHistoryView WHERE EventTypeWord = 'Triggered' AND Name LIKE '%PagerDuty%' AND TimeStamp > (GetDate()-30) GROUP BY Name) lastThirty ON ahv.Name = lastThirty.Name WHERE ahv.Name LIKE '%PagerDuty%' AND ( lastOne.Qty > 0 OR lastSeven.Qty > 0 OR lastThirty.Qty > 0 ) ORDER BY ahv.Name, ISNULL(lastThirty.Qty,0) DESC
Orion Log Viewer the New and Improved Version of the Syslog and Trap Viewers
While the existing syslog and trap functionality that ships with the Orion® Platform has served us well over the last several years, there has always been some room for improvement. For example, we would sometimes hear from users that syslog collection would bog down their database or that it was inconvenient to manage logs outside the web console. Another common issue raised was around the lack of integration with Orion alerting.
As we built Log Analyzer, we wanted to do something about this valuable functionality that also seemed to be causing issues for our users. That’s where Orion Log Viewer comes in.
Orion Log Viewer (or OLV for short) is built on the Orion Platform and is a subset of SolarWinds® Log Analyzer’s functionality. It shares the same systems requirements as LA and gives you the ability to collect, view, filter, search, manage, and alert on syslogs and traps from within your SolarWinds web interface. And the best part is, NPM users can get this updated functionality for no additional cost.
OLV will not only make it easier to manage your logs, but also give you extra visibility into performance issues by including syslog and trap data in your PerfStack™ dashboards. The additional context can help speed root cause investigation and troubleshooting. Additionally, both OLV and LA use the same alert engine as the other Orion-based products, nearly doubling the amount of alert actions you can take from your logs and reducing the number of alert engines you have to learn and maintain.
Orion Log Viewer also ships with its own database specifically designed for log collection. Lessening the impact of collecting logs on your Orion database. You can see how each of the different versions of the logging tools compare in this knowledge base article.
As mentioned earlier, OLV is a subset of Log Analyzer, so to get this updated functionality, you need to download and install a free trial of Log Analyzer on the same server as your NPM instance. At the end of the 30-day trial, if you decide not to purchase LA, the additional functionality that it provides will simply turn off. All that will remain is the functionality provided with Orion Log Viewer. At that time, OLV will be supported at the same level as your NPM license. If you decide later to upgrade to Log Analyzer, simply activate a license key and the functionality will return.
One note for those using the existing syslog and trap functionality. Installing Log Analyzer/OLV will override your existing rules. This means your previously configured syslog and trap rules and alerts will no longer be active. While there is no migration path for existing rules or log data to transfer to OLV, they will continue to be readable.
Orion Log Viewer is the future of syslogs and traps in Orion. We would love to get your feedback on the tool, so we can continue to improve it and support you.

How to filter Custom Tile
Hi guys,
When creating a Custom Tile resource, there's an option to filter out the results displayed. What I am trying to do is display a Custom Tile for specific Volumes and the filter should be for specific Nodes based on their custom property.
I haven't been successfull at creating this filter so far. What I do know so far is that the filter would have to be applied to the Advanced SQL filter section of the Custom Tile.
Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
