Inactive Interface on Netscreen HA pair shows as "Testing"

$
0
0

I've got Juniper Netscreen firewalls in an Active - Passive cluster.  There is a "heartbeat" interface between the firewalls (ethernet1/1 and 1/2 in my screenshot), and the passive one puts its non-heartbeat interfaces into "Inactive" state when the firewall is in the passive state.

 

Is it possible to properly show this as "Inactive" instead of "testing" for the interface status, and a node state other than interface warning and appearing on the problem nodes resource?

Getting secureCRT to work with SW

Hi guys,

 

I found this link in here Enable SSH Putty  on Orion Node page where you can you get putty to work with your orion node page, but I would like to get my secureCRT to work with this page.

 

Is there anybody there can help here??

 

I used on my old job a script similar to this for putty but I cannot get it to work here.

 

I have attach the files in here.

 

In my old job, we had a jumphost that we connected to gain access to our cisco devices, this is not the case here, since I can connect directly to the devices now.

 

Looking forward to get some feedback here

HOW TO CREATE AN ALERT TO THE "ALL IP ADDRESSES"

Hi everybody,

 

I'm with difficult to monitoring "All IP Addresses" in the node, like:

 

I have a load balancer "KEMP", and bellow of this node, I have 4 IP Addresses, like bellow:

ALL IP ADDRESS.PNG

So, I want to monitor by VIP IP address of the KEMP, the rest of others 4 IP Addresses. If any IP became down, I want trigger an alert and receive an e-mail.

 

I don't want add all IP Addresses how a node in the monitoring, I want to monitor everything by VIP IP.

 

Is it possible to do by SAM our SQL Query?

 

Regards,

Rodrigo Almeida.

Database size...

I have been asked a simple question but I am finding that the answer to this question is not easy......

 

I have been asked ...  "What is the size of our database"?

 

So far I have not been able to find an answer to that question...  There are a lot of articles on how to setup alerts and monitor the database  but how do I get the size of the database?

 

I am using Orion NPM 11.5.1

My Catalog is NetPerfMon

 

Any hints would be greatly appreciated....

Monitoring Line Card status with NPM (Orion)

$

Hi,
  We're wanting to use NPM 10.1.1 to monitor the Line Card status for Cisco devices. We found the MIB for it, which is in table form. I'm able to create an alert when a status changes, however, the monitor reports ALL of the line card statuses. I wanted to be able to only report on the one that was bad, and perhaps send an SNMP trap to our EMS. Has anyone got any advice on this?
Thank you,

Group Dynamic Query Help....

$
0
0

I am looking for a little help on 'Dynamic Queries' When setting up a group.  I have several class 'C' network I need to set groups up for.  Basically all monitored network equipment will fall into the last 14 addresses in the IP address space.  (xxx.xxx.xxx.235 - 254).  In that range of 14 addresses I need to skip 2 addresses which are xxx.xxx.xxx.240 & xxx.xxx.xxx.253.. 


Monitored equipment moves or changes often so my approach to creating the group is using a dynamic query.  I can get a group created but it looks like I need to use 3 different dynamic queries for the address space I am interested in.  For example I am wanting to monitor network equipment 1.1.1.0/24 subnet.  I would need to setup the following 3 dynamic queries so I can skip the .240 and .253 address....


  The orion object is set to node....

  IP address  -> Matches -> Dynamic query

          1.1.1.23[5-9]  to monitor 1.1.1.235, 236, 237, 238 & 239

          1.1.1.24[1-9]  to skip .240 and monitor 1.1.1.241 thru 1.1.1.249

          1.1.1.25[0-2]  to monitor 1.1.1.250 thru 1.1.1.252...


Is it possible to put all of these in the same query so I don't have to make multiple queries when setting up the group?

   

Convert BPS Output to Percentage of Interface Bandwidth

Hi there,

 

I'm using a slightly modified 95th percentile utilization rate report on specific interfaces.  The data output for the Interface is give in bps.  Is there a way to have this number converted to a percentage of the interface bandwidth as specified in solar.

 

For example, one of my interfaces shows a receive bps of 606Mbps.  The Interface bandwidth is 1000Mbps.  Is there a way to use the SQL code to convert this and generate a percentage of 60.6% ?

 

Here's the code

 

=====================================

 

SET NOCOUNT OFF

SET ROWCOUNT 0

 

DECLARE @StartDate DateTime

DECLARE @EndDate DateTime

 

SET @StartDate = DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, DATEADD(m, -1, DATEADD(d, 1 - day(getdate()), getdate()))), 0)

SET @EndDate = DATEADD(ms, -2,DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, DATEADD(d, 1 - day(getdate()), getdate())), 0))

 

SELECT    Interfaces.InterfaceId,

        Nodes.NodeID,

        Nodes.Caption AS NodeName,

        Nodes.VendorIcon AS Vendor_Icon,

        Interfaces.Caption AS Interface_Caption,

        Interfaces.InterfaceIcon AS Interface_Icon,

        Maxbps_In95,

        Maxbps_Out95,

        Maxbps_95

FROM Nodes

INNER JOIN Interfaces ON Nodes.NodeID = Interfaces.NodeID

INNER JOIN (

    SELECT    InterfaceID,

            dbo.GetInBps95th(InterfaceID, @StartDate, @EndDate) AS Maxbps_In95,

            dbo.GetOutBps95th(InterfaceID, @StartDate, @EndDate) AS Maxbps_Out95,

            dbo.GetMaxBps95th(InterfaceID, @StartDate, @EndDate) AS Maxbps_95

    FROM InterfaceTraffic

    WHERE InterfaceTraffic.DateTime >= @StartDate AND InterfaceTraffic.DateTime <= @EndDate AND InterfaceID in (34567,29355,30320)

    GROUP BY InterfaceID

) TrafficStat

ON Interfaces.InterfaceID = TrafficStat.InterfaceID

WHERE ${LIMITATION}

ORDER BY NodeName, Interface_Caption

Monitoring Desktops and Laptops with NPM?

$
0
0

Hello all

 

I am being gently encouraged (pressured) to investigating adding 3000 laptops/desktops (with dynamic addresses) to NPM, so our helpdesk can pro-actively find issues with low disk space and CPU utilization etc on end user devices. This would need to be WMI based.

 

I am thinking NPM is not the right tool for this, the load on the server would be massive, and managing 3000 dynamic devices would be a complete pain for them.

 

Is there a better product out there for this? Perhaps agent-based? Are there any more rock-solid reasons i can throw out there not to do this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Using Custom Properties sending Alert emails

$

After receiving lots of queries i will try to explain in screen shots what steps needs to take if you wish to use custom properties logic to send email alerts to respective location / or team responsible for that node and group.

Basically when you have bunch of Nodes and you just wanted to send emails to the related department / Engineering Team only

Or You may have monitoring nodes for multiple customers where you would like to send emails to related customer for the nodes for that customer /


This post  can help in order to configure .


Step #1 Creating Custom Property


Start with Custom properties

Settings > manager custom properties.

Add Custom Properties

3.PNG

Leave it blank and Submit

4.PNG

Step #2 Assigning email to the nodes

 

Go to Settings Manage Nodes.

(Select multiple Node you wish to assign the email ) and click Edit Properties.

Now assign the email you wish to assign so all the alerts will be sent to respected email for these nodes .

And Submit to save changes.

6.PNG

Step #3 Using Custom property name under Alert Trigger Condition

 

Now in Alert use the custom property name to send the email for required email address for each node.

Select the Alert you wish to Edit and Edit Trigger Action > Send an email /page.

Add Trigger Action

7.PNG

 

When the alert will trigger it will use the email you have assigned to the Node.



***** Adding CC you can create more custom properties to include CC emails such as an example below ****

${Email}

${EmailCC}

PLEASE NOTE:- THIS SOLUTION WILL NOT WORK FOR THE GROUPS

Meru controllers CPU and Memory

Memory monitoring on an ASR 1001 doesn't tally

Hi peeps

 

We are currently monitoring a Cisco ASR 1001.  This is not in the "live enviroment but we are monitoring it before we make it our main gateway.

The problem we are having is Solarwinds monitor is indicating we are using a constant 62% of the memory on this device.  We have disabled all debugging but the memory useage doesn't seem to tie up with what is being indicated on the device itself.

Has anyone else experianced similar issues with Cisco ASR devices

Anyone monitoring Cisco ASR 9K CPU & Memory via NPM?

ASR's CPU & MEM monitoring,

 

Either in realtime or while generating network utilisation reports, our NPM has never generated a correct reports. 

 

We would be interested to know additional comments on ways to monitor ASR's CPU & MEM in realtime.

 

Thanks!.

Polling Cisco Devices - memory alarms reporting falsely

$

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a situation where we have a bbr reporting in solar winds as 99% when we log into the device it is only at 69% and can't figure out why. I first moved the device to another poller and it took 20 minutes for it to update and then 10 minutes later reporting at 99% again and I logged into the device it is at 69%.

 

I am trying to understand why it is taking so long for the graph and the alert to clear.

 

Example 9:59 it alerted saying 99% memory

10:24 alerts say it is down to 49% but when I checked at 10:17 am it still said it was at 69% not 99%.
