Looking for similar functionality as the Edit Custom Node Property resource for groups. Is there anything available for this? I have custom properties on groups, however I don't want to give users rights to edit the groups, I just want them to be able to update the custom property on the page. There is a custom resource below, that is available for node views, this is not available for group views to my knowledge.
Example of the node view, I need something like this for group views.
Do you have a need to detect rogue APs connected to your network?
Tell us your biggest pain point when troubleshooting IT issues, e.g. users complaining about slow or broken access to applications.
Select your biggest pain point from this list.
Of course any additional comment to this page would be great (e.g. second biggest, pain point not listed below...)
I’ve never set up a device with SNMP v3 plus use it in Orion. This is a first for me. We have several video codecs from a vendor named LifeSize and they support SNMP v3.
Here are their only documented SNMP statements to configure on these codecs.
set snmp contact
set snmp description
set snmp enable (disable)
set snmp location
set snmp system-name
set snmp user
set snmp v3trapdestination
get snmp version
Very basic stuff…and as you can see it is not much to work with and I have not been able to make it work using SNMP v3 in Orion.
Can anyone provide any help to understand how this works with Orion’s SNMP v3 settings? Does SNMP v3 still require Port 161?
What about these Orion ADD NODE statements and how they might correlate between Orion & these device SET SNMP commands?
SNMPV3 CREDENTIALS
Username (I assume this comes from SET SNMP USER…)
Context (no idea)
Authentication (no idea) (password/key) Does this come from SET USER?)
Privacy/Encryption (no idea)
READ/WRITE CREDENTIALS
Do these work the same as above?
Is there any setting within the database outside of the global retention settings for F5 pools, similar to BGP/Neighbor polling to be able to remove pools that have been deleted off the F5? Currently we are still seeing pools that no longer exist. I'm thinking it's tied into default retention settings, but thought I would see if anyone else knew of anything, or even knew of a quick way to purge them.
Although I know that the obvious answer will be unfavorable, I am still going to ask hoping there would be some smart thwackers who have already tested and implemented a workaround.
Issue: We have many types of network gear ranging from the typical router/switches/firewalls to Load Balancers, WAPs and management stations of which we need to get alerted on hardware degradation or failure. We all know that the out of the box hardware poller is not applicable for every type of devices and hence we need to rely on custom poller. To make things difficult we have another challenge and that is of the unavailability of OIDs for properly monitoring the main hardware components or most of the times getting the dreaded "OID not supported" message. This makes the hardware failure monitoring very difficult and as the Murphy's law goes - the 1 device you did not monitor will fail and cause an outage and you have to explain what were you doing for the past 2 years in setting up monitoring
Question is: How can we setup SNMP trap to alert on any kind of hardware failure across the number of different vendor and their network gears? Do we need to setup the trap rule individually for each type of devices or there can be a generic one which only covers any type of hardware failure or degradataion? If it has to be created per vendor or model then it will be very difficult to identify the rule criteria because you have to wait for the trap to show up once. thi smay not always be possible so what is the best way to get reported for any hardware failures in an ideal world (which is actually not ideal) !
I am sure we all have this problem and are trying to get an answer,
Thanks in advance!
Has anyone been able to take a trap and make it actually look like the English Language? Is this even able to be transformed?

Hi,
We like to have a report that present the interface per vlan.
By default if we monitor all the interface we can have this information... but that is not realistic due to licence and due to machines ressources.
With NCM we can execute script to have the information show vlan or even show vlan id xx.
In the previous version of the product we can have the output of this within one file, however with this new version we have to open for each switch the command output.
Can you advise on this ?
Cheers
Is it possible to see a user's activity on the Orion web console? I have NPM12.0
I have a NOC view I created a while ago that had ten tabs that cycled through every thirty seconds. I recently added an eleventh tab to the view. When it cycles now, however, it skips the final tab. I've moved the newly created tab to a different place in the rotation, and it consistently skips whichever tab is the eleventh. Is that a limitation to the NOC view, or did I misconfigure something?

Hello, and thanks...
Is there a way to prevent log entries in the System log for "Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCom" ID 10028 entries when a windows system managed my NPM/Orion is no longer online?
thanks

We are trying to use Orion to determine data provisioning. Currently, it holds a year's worth of data but we would like to go back at least 3 for future planning purposes. Is there a way to adjust this setting?
I don't want to be angry right now, because I am aware that people can and do change their minds at the drop of a hat. But a part of me would really enjoy breaking something right now.
Anyways, after lengthy discussions with management, customers, and all of the in-between of setting a plan to build a new environment in a different domain and making sure that none of the old rubbish that we currently have has been long gone, it was decided that we would be better migrating the old environment on a new server. I have argued the complexities and difficulties that will occur, but obviously those that hold the purse strings are final.
So I have some questions about this and how to implement this. I say I have a few questions because we are also in the process of moving and will be moving within the next 7 ish weeks.
Anyways, do I do the following:
- Upgrade all of our old environment so it's on new applications.
- a number of changes so that all of our servers point to the next server first. (eg SNMP changes)
- Migrate all of our environment as required and advised by solarwinds (link I think can be found here - https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Migrate_SolarWinds_products_to_a_new_server_with_a_new_IP_and_hostname)
- Then patch and spend time fixing the environment.
or
- Fix all of the environment up until the last minute,
- Do an change so SNMP and just get it done without consent of clients/customers. In theory it's a change that requires no downtime or reboot so this could be done as a large GPO change.
- Migrate everything across
- Upgrade all of our old environment so it's on new applications.
- Go back to fixing everything.
How would be the best way to approach this?
I was wondering if anyone else had/has an issue with alert templates when you try to simulate the result before making it active. I like this form of testing to verify I have all the information needed for my customer.
Here is the screen shot of starting the simulate. It never allows any nodes to show up in the drop down and sometimes get an error.
I have tried other alert templates and some of these actually will load the information in the Group by: section and allow me to search for the specific device.
Hi Everyone,
I have an issue with a Cisco backbone router that isn't allowing all resources to be listed, so we can add new interfaces to the device for monitoring. Is/has anyone else had this same issue?
We currently have over 50 manufacturing facilities that are sprinkled all over the globe. Each manufacturing facility has a internet connection and 2xbonded T1 connections that are used for data connectivity. Only internet based applications go out through the local firewalls to the internet. All other traffic is routed back to our corporate offices via the bonded T1's. We are currently having issues monitoring actual internet connectivity. We are currently pinging the public facing IP's on the firewalls however, this does not tell us if the actual internet connection is down. Is there a software package or remote SNMP network appliance that we can installed at our factories that can be set to verify internet connectivity at these locations? What are other people doing to resolve this problem?
NPM 12.0.1
How can I tell what group a node has been assigned to? I was hoping to see under Node Details it would list the group(s) a node is in but not there.
Is there an easy way (report maybe) to show what nodes are in what groups?
So we are wanting to set up alerting to go to text for actual device failure. Obviously we don't want a massive amount of emails from VM's if a host goes down or from switches if a core switch etc goes down. A good solution would be setting up dependencies but how do I do that for VM's? With migration enabled the VM's will likely migrate between hosts on a failure which will break dependencies for the next failure. Does anyone else have a good solution for this?
Orion has released new version of NPM couple months back. can anyone please let me know what new features are included and how best to
use them in this environment? what are pre-requisites, should we be able to integrate both NPM and
NCM on single server ? how we can upgrade our existing versions to newer
version on a new server
HI,
Will anyone help to reslove high polling rate issue in NPM as attached detail of my Solarwind screen.
Thanks alot,
