SQL Statement to filter out nodes via the UnManaged box in the DB

$
0
0

Hi Everyone,

May get help on this?

I am trying to get a query to give me a list of nodes and other information

I want to filter only those nodes where the UnManaged box is not checked.

How would I state that in the "AND" statement.

Thanks!

Cheryl


This fails: AND UnManaged <> Checked


 

SELECT VolumeSpaceAvailable/VolumeSize*100.0 AS Percentage_Available,

    FullName,

    SupportGroup,

    Remedy_Service,

    Comments_Notes,

    VolumeSize/1000000000 AS VolumeSize_GB,

    VolumeSpaceAvailable/1000000 AS SpaceAvailable_MB,

    Prod_Dev,

    v_DISK_Alert

FROM [Solarwinds-NetPerfMon].[dbo].[Volumes], [Solarwinds-NetPerfMon].[dbo].[Nodes]

WHERE VolumeType = 'Fixed Disk' AND VolumeSize>0

AND Volumes.NodeID = Nodes.NodeID

AND Prod_Dev = 'Production'

AND UnManaged <> Checked

When creating an account, with single interface account limitations and sign on to the account I see more than the Interface I'm restricted to.  How do I set account restriction that the user only see the single interface.  Works good at the Node level.

 

Thanks

How to monitor MSTP link via NPM?

$
0

Hi All,

 

     There are so many MSTP link between client's headquarter and their branch office. Recently they want to change monitor tool from BMC, so we have recommended them to try SolarWinds NPM+NTA. During the POC, NPM+NTA can help them monitor network devices status and application etc. However, the important point is that how to monitor MSTP link status. As we known, when the wan link down and the client's edge device is up,  how to alert administrator to inform the wan link has issue and they need to notice MSTP provider to check?

     Can we use ping script from solarwinds server or edge device(such as router) to ping continuously another end IP to confirm the mstp link status? Or is there something good way to check that?

Cisco ASA as a Default gateway?

$
0
0

There has been over 1 million of Cisco ASAs built and deployed around the world in a past years (good job Cisco!). As not supporting SNMP protocol properly, they often complicate our lives when configured to be Default gateways, not allowing products like SolarWinds User Device Tracker to monitor what's behind. Do you use your ASAs as a Default gateways too? If so, what percentage of your network they route?

Hopefully somebody can help me with this.

I have changed description on router interface to describe what node the interface is from. Anyway in Trigged Alert - Trigerring Object, it is still came up with old description (no node description).  How can I get the new interface description to be used?

This is become a problem when looking at Top 10 Objects by trigger count of this alert as all objects look the same as below.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Server Forecast Reporting

Hi all,

I just wanted to see if anyone had come across any kind of report for forecasting against Windows nodes? Can obviously see it for individual nodes but management would like a monthly forecasting report generated on all Windows server nodes.


Thanks,

How to show link utilization between nested map (nested map child objects to nested map child objects)

$
0
0

On Network Atlas, If we have a only map, We can configure for show status devices and link utilization between devices,

but If we have many map (We mean many child map), We can show the status of its child objects, but We cannot show link utilization between nested map.


Example


Nested Map A (Building A Map) include access switch A1, access switch A2, distribute switch A1 - - - - - All Device can show status node and link utilization between node

Nested Map B (Building B Map) include distribute switch B1, core switch B1 - - - - - All Device can show status node and link utilization between node


In this problem

On diagram, distribute switch A1 on Nested Map A connected core switch B1 on Nested Map B,

If We create parent map show nested map child objects (Nested Map A) and nested map child objects (Nested Map B) ,

We cannot show link utilization between Nested Map A and Nested Map B.


How to configure for show link utilization between nested map?



Layer 2 Interface Names...

I'm looking for some assistance to help locate a resolution for fixing missing interface alias.   

 

I was able to walk the MIB for the MOXA manufactured layer 2 and locate the interface name.  Image of the is attached. How do I apply it?

All interfaces in Orion display Ethernet Port X even though the interface is named in the switch config.

WorkerMonitor directory using excessive disk space

$

On our Orion server I have found the C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\JobEngine.v2\ThresholdStreams\WorkerMonitor directory has over 40k files and is taking about 17GB of disk.  The dates on the files start from early this year.  Correlates to about the time we added SAM and our first additional poller.

Does anyone know what they are?  Why they are created?  Can they be suppresses and/or deleted?

Thanks,

Bill

Need to create a report that lists all IPs on every device but can't find resource?

$

I want to create a report that'll list all IP addresses on a node but can't seem to find the resource I'm looking for in the web based report builder. Here's the resource I'd like to include in my report...

allip.png

 

I want to create a list like so...

 

Node name               All IP's

 

Node 1                    10.xxx.xxx.xxx

                              10.xxx.xxx.xxx

Node 2                    10.xxx.xxx.xxx

                              10.xxx.xxx.xxx

 

 

So I know Solarwind's has the data I need (for cisco nodes anyway) without me having to set up UnDP and report on that but I can't find it when using the report builder, web based or even on the server? Am I missing something? BTW I have a UnDP set up to find all IPs configured on a cisco device it's polling an OID called  ipAdEntAddr 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1 but this has a deprecated status. Is this the OID that solarwinds is polling for the above screen shot? Anybody know if this OID has been replaced by something? I know deprecated doesn't mean obsolete but if Cisco were to deprecate it wouldn't they provide a replacement? I don't know how to search for an OID's replacement

Additional Polling Engine Node Monitoring

$

0

Hi,

 

If you deploy an additional polling engine at a customer site to monitor nodes can SolarWinds cope with duplicate private IP address ranges if the Main Poller is already monitoring a node on that IP address?

 

In theory we would connect to the additional poller at the customer site over a VPN.

 

Thanks,

NPM Alert to include user who restarted Server

$
0
0

We have an alert that is setup to notify us when a Windows Server gets rebooted.  Reason behind this is some Virtual Servers can restart in less than polling time so we never knew they restarted.

 

What I'd like to do is include the username of the person who restarted the server in the alert. We utilize the "Last Boot Has Changed" item in our trigger condition.

 

Does anyone know what event or variable I can use?

Why isn't Solarwinds joining the dots on my graph

$

I recently began monitoring an interface and when I went back to look at the graphed traffic I can see the points plotted on the graph but there's no lines joining the dots? The presence of these lines makes it much easier to read and spot any trends. I'm polling this interface every 180 seconds and gathering data every 5 minutes and it looks like below, any ideas how to fix this

Not seeing nodes with interfaces that are down in nodes with problems window?

$
0
0

It used to be the case that I could see nodes that were up themselves but had an interface that was down in my nodes with problems window. Now I've just missed an interface that was down on a node that was up because it wasn't showing in my 'nodes with problems' window at the moment I have a filter on that window that looks like this

NCM_Group <> 'Test' AND NCM_Group <> 'Test Servers' AND IP_Address <> '10.xxx.xxx.xxx' AND IP_Address <> '10.xxx.xxx.xxx'

We've recently upgraded and I have recently changed that query above but I just replaced group names and IP's?

 

Why aren't I seeing nodes with an interface that's down in that window anymore? I used to see a green status circle with a little red circle beside it to indicate an interface was down on a node that was up. How can I set this up again?

How to monitor McAfee Network Security sensor (NSS) appliance using SNMP from solarwinds orion

 

When i configure SNMPv3 on the NSS appliance and solarwinds using the following:

 

SNMP Version: SNMPv3

 

SNMP Port:161

 

SNMPv3 Authentication: MD5

 

SNMPv3 Privacy / Encryption: DES56

 

But doesn't seem to pull back any interfaces when listing resource on the node.

 

Does anyone have any experience with this setup?

Since the release on NPM 11.5 we've been hard at working building the next round of exciting functionality and improvements in existing functionality.  I'm excited to share the following list of items we're working on:

 

 

Ongoing Initiatives:

  • Increased scalability per SolarWinds instance (target of 250k elements / instance)
  • Improved performance and decreased resource load times via analysis with SolarWinds DPA
  • Increased number of pollers possible per instance

Orion Core: Setup to startup a Telnet and SSH session from Node Details page link with KiTTY (Putty fork)

$
0

One of the nice features that the Orion Web Console has is the ability to start a Telnet or SSH Session when in the Node Details. The selection is available at the top right of the page just under the Export to PDF. ToolsetIntegration-Bar.png

 

While PuTTY has always been my goto SSH application, the putty developers did not add the ability to connect via SSH through ssh://. I did find that one of the forks of putty called KiTTY is able to do both telnet:// and ssh://

 

To setup accounts to see the Telnet and SSH buttons at the Top Right of the Node Details page to be able to Telnet and SSH:

  • Go into Settings> Manage Accounts
  • Select the checkbox next to the account(s) and select Edit
  • In the Account Settings, change Allow Browser Integration to Yes and select Submit.

 

Downloading KiTTY client:

 

Setting up on the Local System to Telnet or SSH with KiTTY:

     In my example registry script, I have placed KiTTY into C:\kitty\ seen as C:\\kitty\\ in the .reg file. You can right click on the KiTTY_Telnet_SSH.reg file and select Edit, and in Notepad use Ctrl+H and replace C:\\kitty\\ with the folder location of the kitty.exe file.

  • Place kitty.exe into C:\kitty so that it will be executed as C:\kitty\kitty.exe
  • Then in order to be able to use Telnet and SSH you will run the attached KiTTY_Telnet_SSH.reg file.
  • You will need to execute this on every system that wants to connect via telnet or ssh when in the Web Console. It will apply to all users that use the system the registry it is applied to.

 

I have tested this and it is working successfully in Windows 7, Server 2008 R2, and Server 2012 R2.
