Multiple Scheduled Maintenance windows for a device

$
0
0

Is there a way to have multiple entries scheduled for maintenance for a device?

 

i.e.,  we have a device that has downtime Monday and Thursday of same week.

 

It appears to me when you schedule Maintenance mode from the Manage Nodes view, the last one you enter is the only active window.

 

thanks

Is is possible to monitor route changes ?

$

0

Hi all


 


I´m looking to the possibility of using Solarwinds to monitor routing changes for some of my devices. I´m very interested in monitoring the chosen route for the traffic, to know if we are using route a, b or even c, to get to a specific site / service.


I would like to be able to monitor a given path, and trigger alerts / log entries on deviation from this "baseline route"


Is solarwinds able to do so ?


 


In our "old" environment we had some custom build scripting, used to do this monitoring - But, since we have decided to strategically move all our network monitoring to the Solarwinds platform, I need to find out how Orion can do this - Or request this for future releases :)

Nodes with multiple IP's best practice

Does Solarwinds have a recommended or best practice way to monitor a node (Windows server) with multiple IP's?  It could be multiple IP's on one or more physical adapters, or a single IP's on multiple physical adapters.

Thanks,

Solarwinds npm Custom chart with dynamic result

we need to create a multiple chart with dynmacliy

 

for example

 

there is a report which contains interfaces; percent utilization greater than 90 at last week;

 

is there any way to and chart all percent utilization this interface about last week?

 

 

 

I tried to add custom chart but it creates all interfaces in one chart.

 

we can add some link to sign this chart,but it seems just interface detail pages

Add description to VPN Site-to-Site Tunnels

$

I'm using the new feature in NPM12.2 to monitor de Site-to-Site tunnels I have established, but it's kind of hard for my monitoring team (and for me) to remember all de peer IPs in order to identify when something is not ok, is there a way I can add a description so I can include it in the alert or some kind of report?

After upgrading NPM from 12.0.1 to 12.2, one e-mailed Alert works fine, but its view in the GUI of the node does not. Why?

$

Here's an alert that works fine as an e-mail, and that USED TO work in the GUI of the Node with NPM 12.0.1, but does not work in the node's GUI in NPM 12.2.  Can you help me understand how to get it working again in the GUI?

 

An issue has been detected at ${N=Alerting;M=AlertTriggerTime;F=DateTime} on ${N=SwisEntity;M=MachineType} device named ${N=SwisEntity;M=Caption} (IP: ${N=SwisEntity;M=IP_Address}, DNS: ${N=SwisEntity;M=DNS})

View full device details here: ${N=SwisEntity;M=DetailsUrl}.

View full alert details here: ${N=Alerting;M=AlertDetailsUrl}

Click here to acknowledge the alert: ${N=Alerting;M=AcknowledgeUrl}

This message was brought to you by the alert named: ${N=Alerting;M=AlertName}

The node is monitored by the polling engine ${N=SwisEntity;M=Engine.ServerName}

 

 

 

This is the successful e-mail, which shows when the device went down, and that provides links to its NPM page:

 

With NPM 12.0.1, that Alert generated a pretty graphic in the Node's GUI that shows when it went down.  Now, instead of that nice graphic, we see this:

 

A case opened with first-level SW Support wasn't helpful.  They said the above graphic is expected behavior, and that they don't have a 12.0.1 version to compare performance on.   Or in other words, take this Widget out of the NPM GUI for nodes and live without it.

 

I'm hoping Thwack members can offer a way to get that data back into the GUI, maybe with a new / custom Alert?

 

Any ideas / recommendations for achieving this?

When i am using NPM monitor our circuits which connected with each other through ospf/eigrp.And there is a buildin alert neighbor down.

But i think it's not easy to recognize when you have lots of circuits.

I tried to  associate the ip address of the neighbor with its node name.but i failed.Is there anyone did that before?

Graph ASA Remote Access VPN Users

Hi,

 

We've recently upgraded to NPM12.2 and applied HotFix1 so that our Cisco ASA's are now showing connected Remote Access VPN Sessions. However, it would be really helpful if we could graph the number of connected users over time. Is this possible? I've had a quick look but can't find a widget that would show this?

 

Has anyone done anything similar?

Does Solarwinds allow to check the ICMP status of the interfaces hosting IP address

$

0

Hi All,

 

Have been looking about this for quite sometime but didnt find any thread related to it so posting this.

 

Solarwinds polls the network devices via SNMP to get the performance related details and ICMP would be for getting a up/down status. Now many interfaces also will be having an IP address attached to it.

So is there anyway to check the status of it and alert? I checked with the existing options but there is no option for IP address in dropdown 'alert on object'. Neither under interface its showing anything details for IP address.

 

I have seen this functionality in NNMi tool wherein by default it provides this for the device added in monitoring. U can view the status of each IP address and also alert on it via ICMP protocol.

Trying to see if that can be made available in Solarwinds as many of the customers would definitely need this way of alerting apart from just SNMP admin and operational status for an interface.

Load balancing Additional Web Servers, F5 & AWS

$
0

I’ve got a few on-premise Additional Web Servers running on port 80 and have got our F5 chaps to establish a VIP for them. I have no access to the F5; I’m just a user of its service. I understand that there are two ways that the F5 can automatically take a server out of the pool (for maintenance or because I feel like it)

  1. if it does not respond to port 80 and
  2. that there is an option to include a text file in the root of IIS for the F5 to inspect

 

Logging in as either a local Orion user or an AD authenticated security group account I can directly browse to each of the websites without issue, but when using the new VIP I get various error types. Sometimes the home screen is painted up and almost immediately it is overlaid with a popup saying that my session expired. I can see that some of the home screen’s resources are populated underneath the popup, but not all. I can see that All Nodes & All Active Alerts (Server error: The server method ‘GetTreeSection’, failed), Map (There was an error), Hardware Health Overview (Loading), but All Transactions and End of Support Devices are correctly populated. Sometimes I do get logged in and can move from screen to screen, but after a few screens I’ll get “The session timed out” error.

 

It smells to me that our F5 is not configured properly for Orion.

 

Does anyone know if all of a view's widgets are populated from one web server or does each widget make a discrete call – and therefore potentially a different web server?

Are there any guidelines on configuring an F5 for Orion?

Do I have to make any changes to Orion to support an F5?

Is an F5 the best option or is there another recommended solution?

Any other comments? Please let me know

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