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"Displayed data is obsolete mean 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.

Monitoring CDP neighbor changes
We have a redundant layer 2 connection between two sites that the provider now for the second time has made a configuration change with so the link doesn't forward traffic but still has link up in both ends.
The only way I can see that I can detect this situation is by monitoring CDP changing.
Is there any standard way of detecting CDP changes?

Netpath eventually stops working
On initial setup of a path everything works fine for about a day and then it just stops polling, anyone else experience this?

Unable to Assign Custom Pollers to Agent Polled Devices?
I just want to make sure that I am not the only one experiencing this phenomenon.
We heavily leverage custom pollers in our environment (see The Ultimate CPU Alert...For Linux - Reloaded! for an example) and we've recently decided to go with Linux agents on all of our EC2 instances. After adding a couple of agents (very nice!) I went to go and apply the custom pollers -- no go. I tried the 32-bit app and the web UI. Neither would allow me to assign pollers -- it just didn't see the node.
Now I know that back in the day you could "trick" Orion into allow you to assign custom SNMP pollers to a WMI node by first polling that node via SNMP and then converting it to WMI, but we can't do that in this case.
While I try and get SNMP configured on these nodes (I *just* noticed that it didn't even get configured!), could someone confirm whether or not an Linux server polled via the agent with snmp installed and configured can have custom pollers assigned to it?
Thanks!

HA, FOE's and Disaster Recovery
I'm interested to get feedback on how people have started using the HA module as well as any users that have the FOE's running and how you handle Disaster Recovery.

NPM/SAM can't access Thwack for templates or pollers
I have a strange one here. On an Orion NPM 12.0.1 server running SAM 6.3.0 NPM and SAM fail to communicate with Thwack to get content.
I have checked the following:
- Proxy settings under admin settings are configured to use the proxy and tests successful
- From the server, I can hit both SolarWinds and Thwack from either IE or Chrome without an issue so that connection is go - not port related
- Also, can't load pollers from Thwack.
- Of note, NetPath fails as well when trying to monitor outside locations
Ideas?

How to calculate bandwidth between APE & Main/SQL servers?
This articles is interesting: Polling - How much bandwidth does SolarWinds require for monitoring but is aimed at calculating the bandwidth consumption for device polling. It does not explain the required bandwidth between a SolarWinds Poller (main or additional) and it's SQL server.
Once the data is received at the poller level, is it a 1:1 scenario while being sent to the database server or is there more (or less) to it? How to is translate into consumption while being sent to the SQL server?
Does anybody can shed some light on this or refer me to some doc?
Cheers,
P.

Still seeking a way to discover, display, and alert-on links with CDP neighbors. Do you know how to do it?
I've reviewed all the Thwack threads about reporting on links with CDP neighbors, tried some, not found any that do what I'd like:
Goals:
- Discover every switch port with a CDP neighbor
- List them in a report
- Alert when a CDP neighbor disappears or appears
- Display the CDP neighbor changes (and only those changes) on my NPM Summary (home) page
Can you tell me the exact steps to accomplish this? Or let me know it's not possible?
Yours,
Rick Schroeder

Orion Additional Webserver
Good morning,
We've recently purchased an additional polling enginer license and additional webserver license.
The APE installed fine, however when I am trying to install the additional webserver it's telling me this has already been installed, which appears to be strange as I haven't installed it (unless it comes with the APE automatically).
I have to add, that I have manually installed the items I needed (APE NPM, APE SAM). The additional webserver bits haven't been installed yet, as I have not been able to launch them.
We are on the latest versions of both NPM and SAM (12.0.1 for NPM and 6.3.0 for SAM).
Please see the errors I am getting below:
However, if I check the configuration wizard (I would expect it to be "configurable from there"), the webserver item is greyed out.
If I look at the "Programs and Features" section on the server itself, I am seeing the following:
Does anybody have any idea what is causing this?
I'd very much appreciate a response.
Regards,
Dennis

Cisco ASA as a Default gateway?
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?
