Wireless Heat Maps - 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz connections

$
0

Hi guys wondering if anyone could shed some light on this.

 

We've finally upgraded to the latest version of Solarwinds (12.0.1) and are now able to use the heat map feature and so far it seems like it's going to be a lot of help. I'm just wondering if anyone could shed some light on how it handles the different frequencies. We have Cisco 2802i APs which support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections. The question is; how does the heat map interpret this? or doesn't it?

 

I'm guessing what I am seeing is the 2.4GHz connection but it would be nice to know exactly what I am seeing and if the 5GHz feature has been or is going to be implemented.

 

Thanks!

Wireless HeatMaps - There is no available engine...

Hi guys,

 

Just wondering if anyone had come across this problem. We've had Solarwinds re-installed recently and everything has been working fine,until I came across this problem when attempting to create a new heat map. I've created a few before the re-install without any problems.

 

It starts to generate the map and then throws up the error ' There is no available engine to process the WirelessHeatMap generation'.

 

Screenshot below:

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks.

NPM 12.0 and VMware 6.5

$

We just upgraded our vCenter to 6.5 and now our Orion instance can't connect to it.  Everything worked fine prior to the upgrade (5.5 before).  In the Manage Nodes screen the credential validation under the VMware Polling Settings fails with the error, "Test Failed. Cannot login with selected vCenter or ESX credential."

 

- removed vCenter node and added back

- verified IP address was the same as before

- tried with full administrator account and it failed

- ICMP and Poll for VMware are only boxes checked

 

Any ideas here?

 

Thanks,

Jon

Question regarding interface 'Custom Bandwidth' settings

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

I have an interface I am monitoring in NPM. We purchased 500x500 Mbps of bandwidth from our provider and so I had set that as the 'Custom Bandwidth' values in the interface properties.

 

Our provider allows us to burst above that speed so today we had a period of time where 700+ Mbps was passing through the interface. We have an alert set up that is supposed to let us know if this interface is exceeding 95% utilization. The alert did not trigger and when I looked into it the Out bps values in the database for the polls during this time were all NULL (the In bps values were still populated).

 

So my hunch is that it must not record values for a poll if they exceed what the Custom Bandwidth value is set to. I wanted to come on the forum here and ask if anyone could confirm for me if this is the case or if what I observed in this incident should not have happened.

Are you comfortable with deploying virtual appliances?

 

We're discussing ways to deploy new products that may interact with your NPM (and other SolarWinds) deployments and one of our options is a virtual appliance.

Monitoring Open Ports on an Interface

We currently have active connections from the IPs below to a third party.  When we perform maintenance we have the third party kill the connection.  Is there a way to monitor traffic on those specific ports and alert when there is no longer traffic to ensure the connection has been properly terminated?.

Trap viewer - wrong hostname (NOT IP address)

$
0
0

I've searched, but all I've found so far are old threads regarding the Hostname field showing IP addresses.  That's not our issue.

 

What we're seeing is that the trap viewer is showing the hostname for a completely different node.  So far, this is only happening for one device that we know of.

 

Example:

  • HostA is at 10.1.2.3
  • HostZ is at 10.9.8.7
  • Trap viewer shows traps from 10.1.2.3 with Hostname HostZ instead of HostA
  • Trap viewer shows traps from 10.9.8.7 with Hostname HostZ, as expected

 

Checked:

  • DNS.  It's fine.
  • DNS cache on NPM server (ipconfig /displaydns).  10.1.2.3 is associated with HostA as it should be, while neither HostZ nor 10.9.8.7 show up at all.
  • Hosts file on NPM server.  This particular host (HostA) is actually in there, with the correct name/IP  (10.1.2.3     HostA), while HostZ is not in there.
  • NPM 12.0.1 release notes don't say anything about this
  • Hotfixes for 12.0 (if there were any) aren't showing up for me, so no idea if there was a fix there.

 

Other:

  • NPM 12.0
  • HostA is on the same subnet as NPM server
  • HostZ is a few hops away

 

Anyone have any idea what to look for, here?

What does "Displayed data is obsolete mean?"

Just finished upgrading to 12, and started seeing this on some of our custom interface views.

 

"Displayed data is obsolete mean >> Learn More", but it just takes me to an obscure Solarwinds page, with no info.

Good morning at my company most of the equipment is from HP / H3C / 3Com, ie:   

 

3Com

3Com S4500

3Com S5500G

3Com S4800G

 

H3C

HP 3600 V2 Si

HP 5500 24G SFP-EI

HP 5120 24G EI

HP 5120 24G EI PoE +

HP 5130 24G PoE + 4sfp HP 5820X 24XG

 

When I try to apply or check the status of Stack ports by MIB / OID I always have the same info, ie, OID is not selected or OID is not Supported.

 

I have already updated the Solarwinds MIBs, Restart Services and Solarwinds and the problem persists

Mass Alert Help

We use NPM to monitor a remote site with about 20 computers. Whenever the circuit between the two goes down, we get 20 alerts, one for each machine we monitor. How do we set alerts up so that we get only one alert when this happens? We tried using groups, but when a device within that group goes down, we are alerted that the group is down. The group is not down, but one device within the group is.

F5 - Concurrent Connections by Pool Member Limit 10?

$

We are trying to setup monitoring on some F5 devices.  Especially how many connections are per server in a pool. 

 

We have been unable to do this until we upgraded NPM to version 12.

 

There is a poller/chart that displays the pool members that defaults to only 5 members.  We can increase this to 10 but tha4t is it.  We currently have 15 members and may add more eventually.

 

is there a way to increase this or create a custom chart to display all member connections?
