When you installed NPM, did you add Nodes manually or did you run discovery?

Installing NPM , NTA and NCM on same server?
Hi all ,
i need to install these 3 products :
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor SL100
SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer Module for SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor SL100
SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager DL200
my understanding is that NPM can be installed with NTA on the same server but with different databases
and , NPM and NCM should be installed on the same server using the same database
is that understanding right ?
if right , what about the hardware requiements of the combined npm-nta server , or the npm-ncm server
also can i install npm ncm nta all on the same server , and sum the requirements of each one

Create a report for Planned Maintenance Window
I've searched the forums and SolarWinds knowledgebase and I can't find the answer. I currently use a SQL query to get unmanaged nodes, but it only partially works. I need to know when nodes are planned in the future.
Here's the query I used:
SELECT
n.caption as Node
, '/Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=N%3a' + ToString(n.nodeid) AS [_LinkFor_Node]
, '/Orion/images/StatusIcons/Small-' + n.StatusLED AS [_IconFor_Node]
, unmanaged
, tolocal(UnManageFrom) as Unmanage
, daydiff(getutcdate(), UnManagefrom)as [Days till Unmanage]
, tolocal(UnManageUntil) as Remanage
, daydiff(getutcdate(), UnManageuntil)as [Days until Remanage]
FROM Orion.Nodes n
where
(
unmanaged = 'true' and
(minutediff(getutcdate(), UnManagefrom) > -10080)
)
or
(
minutediff(getutcdate(), UnManagefrom) >0
and minutediff(getutcdate(), UnManagefrom) <10080
)
order by unmanagefrom
I can't get this to work 100%. I have no experience working with SQL queries so I don't know what I need to modify. I tried to create a new report and search for the System Property for Planned Maintenance Window. When I look at Manage Nodes I see devices that I've unmanaged in the future, but they don't show up in my query.
Either I create a new report using Planned Maintenance Window or fix my SQL query. I just want to know every device I have unmanaged.

Is anyone using SNMPv3 for montioring Redhat Linux 7.x versions?
Hi All,
Need some help. Has anyone used SNMPv3 for RedHat Linux 7.x versions and working fine? If yes then can anyone share the configuration details or a reference link where the admins and go through and apply it on our environment?

Network Discovery Failed
Almost everyday Orion/NPM is reporting "Network Discovery Failed".
While I appreciate this alert, it's rather useless. There is not apparent link to a log or a reason that I can find.
Where can I get more information on what the failure was? Where is the log file for this?
Any direction you can provide would be great.
Thanks!

F5 CPU usage error
I'm getting bad information from SolarWinds on my F5s' CPU load. They consistently stay at 97% or 99% usage in SW, when in reality they're somewhere around the 30's.
Models doing this: |
BIG-IP 1600 BIG-IP 3900 |
| BIG-IP 4000 |
I'm aware I can just poll more specific OID's and alert on those instead, but whenever someone browses to the page, they're going to see a false alarm in red letters and I don't like saying "ignore SolarWinds, this is what's happening". How can I fix it so SolarWinds knows the right value for CPU usage?

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup report.
I have discovered that we have never got rid of the old files that Windows keeps after every patch Tuesday. I took it upon myself to start the automatic process of doing this once a month (I yield about 5 - 10gb per server with my tests)
Ideally I need some kind of report that displays when every task has been run on the server and then give me a report for the ones that have run and those that have not.
I know you can import the tasks from servers when you add them. But is there a way that you can do this with nodes that have been added? (Looking now as I kinda type.)
Maybe then I would run a report that would look at tasks run successfully of not.
This way I will maximise disk storage and not have to be called out unless I KNOW it's actually a drive space issue. (unless we chat about our rubbish terminal servers.)
Or maybe something that tells me the ones that have not been successful.
What do people think? A good idea or not?

There was no endpoint listening at net.tcp://euukgslsvsw:17777/orion/core/businesslayer that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
Hi All
I am a complete newbie to this thread and the software itself. I had a ticket hit my queue for the above error. It occurs after logging into
Orion through web browser and get the following screen.
Have tried restarting the solar winds orion module service
Reinstalling the information service as in the following KB Print Article - I am receiving errors in the Orion Web Console
We have some SQL errors in the logs:
From Solar winds AlertingEngine:

Had our Dev team look at it and they created more space but events still persist (not sure if a red herring)
Have rebooted the server several times and also installed information service a few times with no luck.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards

Polling at different intervals?
I think I already know the answer but wants to make sure. Can you tell the polling engine no to poll all the devices at the same time? Let me clarify, Can I group all my devices into 2 or 3 different groups and then tell the polling engine to poll those at different intervals? i.e. poll group 1 every XX, group 2 every XX, and so on. I'm looking at this question from a network performance point of view, not the solarwinds server.

Monitoring services / connectivity from remote sites
Good afternoon,
I would like to be able to monitor connectivity (key need) / netpath / response times from a remote site. We operate sites connected by two different methods and recently have had infrastructure failures that depending on which method the site connects by would have had different impacts to connectivity and services available to the site. Is there a way to monitor connectivity to critical services from these remote sites without installing an additional poller? These sites do not have capacity for another server (they're stores with minimal space for IT equipment).
Regards
Nigel

Multiple neighbor down alerts
I would like 1 alert to trigger even though multiple nodes see a neighbor down
We have the following alert for neighbor down...
At least one child condition must be satisfied (OR)
"Routing Neighbors" "Protocol Orion Status" is equal to "Down"
or
"Routing Neighbors" "Is Deleted" is equal to "Yes"

I get it and I don't want it anymore. Click the pencil to edit
Since our upgrade to 12.2 almost every time we open a page in the SW Browser we get the 'Click the pencil to edit the layout or content of the page' popup.
Anyone know how to turn off this annoyance?
It is much like the Netpath instructions that still seem to popup now and then when opening Netpath.
Thanks
The new installers are awesome btw.

How do we get assigned a new Sales Rep?
Every time myself, management or another department engages with our sales rep it's a complete disaster. This guy doesn't hear what we are saying, or asking for. He comes to us with solutions for which we don't have problems half the time. I spend too much time after every engagement with him doing damage control to try and keep SolarWinds products in here.

How to integrate Solarwinds Offline Help Files
Hello,
I'm operating in a closed environment where internet access is unavailable. I can scan cleared data and using procedures, move it from the internet to our closed system but don't want to do this arduous process daily or weekly if possible.
Does anyone know how you properly implement offline help so that it is available for my userbase, and myself, without jotting down each URL and bouncing back and forth between the closed system and an internet connected computer.
I located one post with great instructions but all of the offline files have been removed for an unknown reason. (See: How to integrate Solarwinds Offline Help Files and LokiR was involved in resolving before.)
Thank you for any support or assistance,
Matthew

Offline Help Files??
Solarwinds web seems to have the ability to set your own help website for installations that do not connect to the internet (and never will). However, I have only found a download of these help files for one product (one I am not using). Does anyone know if there is a repository of these? My other operators could really use a help facility, as getting to an "outside" computer is a real pain.
I'd be submitting a case request, but can't find my login credentials at the moment, and the system does not seem to want to send me any.
Thanks!
