Hello,
I am installing NPM 12.2 that has VMAN 8.0 built-in. Our environment that I want to monitor is all VMWare. It's a mix of Windows, Linux, and virtual network devices. To monitor all these hundreds of devices, do I need to run a discovery in NPM and configure each device to be monitored? Or can I just point to my vCenter and then see all the devices in my Orion web console and still configure alerts for these devices?
Hi,
Apologies if this goes into the wrong place, its my first post
I was wondering whether the IIS Application monitor works on Server 2016?
I've been trying to get it setup to read the IIS instance but I'm getting a PowerShell error
Need assistance to monitor ipsec L2L vpn and all of the status/performance for each tunnel on ASA
I have installed NPM 12.2 and NCM 7.7
Hi,
The questions has come up here about monitoring the environment in our MDF rooms: Power, Temperature, Humidity, water (Leak)
I don't want to use the monitors in our equipment because the thresholds are really high (e.g. on a EX-series switch they do not alarm until the internal temperature reached 80C / 176F)
Ideally I would use something that NPM would already be able to monitor using its builtin Hardware Health Sensor support (i.e. no custom MIB polling) -- this is because NPM will automatically add those pollers for devices it discovers whereas custom poller require me to ensure the poller is added to the device.
Anyone know of such a device I could buy off the shelf?
Has anyone hacked up a Raspberry Pi to work with NPM and return hardware health (could make this a student project here if we have a starting point)
Hi all,
I have created an alert to trigger when specific services (33 of them) go down and come back up, it works great however my manager is not happy that we receive an email for each service.
Is there a way of having one email that reports all the services that have gone down.
I have created a template in SAM for all of the services that need to be monitored then created an alert that goes like this:-
When the Node is equal to 'Shared Services Server'
and
the Node is Not equal to Down
and
the Component is equal to Down
send an email
You can imagine how many emails we get if something goes wrong!
Surely there's got to be a better way
Thanks
Anita
I've recently been working on some dashboards, and some of the easy requests turn out to be much harder than I thought.
For example, customer wants a list of all volumes listed by server. I tried the Top Volumes and while that gives the volumes, it doesn't sort things well. A server can be listed multiple times because the Resource wants to sort by the space used per volume. I use a filter like this:
Nodes.Caption like 'ServerName%' and Volumes.Caption not Like '%C:\*%' and Volumes.Caption not Like '%memory%'
Then I try the "All Volumes" Resource, figure this is perfect. Except I cannot get the SQL Filter to work. Many of the examples fail. Trying to filter on the Nodes.Caption seems to be the issue.
So does anyone have an idea of what would work? And why is the syntax different?
I want to add ip address field in this query. please help.

Hi,
I am working in the airline head-quarter which have multiple airport all around and which are being monitored by Solarwinds. Since the polling interval of Nodes/Interface (60 Sec) which bring lots of escalation in environment because of slow polling of the interface. we need the real time monitoring.
Please let me know how can we monitor interface and nodes in real time.
I am not sure why, but I downloaded the AIO Offline installer and it would not run until I gave my server internet access. Can someone explain this to me?
How are these things not identified during the Beta and RC runs? When an upgrade becomes GA, the only problems that should exist should be related to customization.
We would like to improve user experience and for such reason I'd like to better understand if our users prefers INITIALLY to add nodes manually or run product network discovery in order to import devices to NPM
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.
Hi There,
One of my customers is running a Nexus 9K fabrix in ACI mode. I recently went through and descriptions for all Leaf interfaces. I did this via the APICs as I want the interfaces in SolarWinds to update dynamically if any of the port descriptions change (saves having to do it on the switch and also in NPM). Once the switch was polled the descriptions started coming through in SolarWinds, but rather than showing the Interface number and description, it is showing the description twice e.g. rather than showing Ethernet0/1 - Description it is showing Description - Description. This means that the alerts coming through do not have the interface number in them, just the description (twice). This isn't what I want for troubleshooting.
Has anybody else experienced this or can anybody suggest a way of changing it (I know I can add the descriptions form SolarWinds, but I'd rather modify the switch and have it come through dynamically)? What I'd like to have for each interface is the interface number then the description e.g. Ethernet 1/42 - Firewall01 MGMT
Regards,
Felix
Hi
I get some alerts with very old node names and interface DNS suffix that does not there any more in the DNS server
I can se that the DB the feild cald 'EntityCation' and 'RelatedNodeCaption'
Should that be info data from nodedata ?
Hello all,
any document how to solve this issue, everytime I click on menu, there is always appear prompt for auth
thank you,
Regards.
Is it possible to view the IP address of a device on a monitored switch interface? I have the device in IPAM, but in NPM there is no link to IPAM or IP data
NPM 12.2 has shipped and we're hard at work building the next release. Here's what we're working on, in no particularly order.
Hi all,
Having a quick search of the forums around this issue, I've reviewed this - Re: How do I change date/time format for Orion NPM Web Console?& while the settings on both my local machine/s & Orion server are set to GMT / UK etc... the date within the web console continues to display in American format (so mm/dd/yyyy instead of what I'd like to see dd/mm/yyyy)
Any clues as to what else I can perhaps check to make this 'tweak' would be gratefully received
If I can offer further info around this or provide screenshots etc, please let me know.
Thanks, Daniel
HI,
We are planning upgrade our solarwinds components to latest version. I want to know, Orion Upgrade installer will also upgrade NTA component with other components?
Also what is the procedure to upgrade STM 5.1.0 to SRM latest release.
I have a Cisco 10000 series router with multiple OC3 connections as well as Gigabit Ethernet connections. When NPM polls the device I get CPU spikes usually around 100% for a few minutes.
I'm curious if there is a way to just poll interface stats and not poll route tables and ARP tables. Since this device has lots of ARP entries and routes i think that might be the issue as to why its spiking the CPU.
If I have an existing Solarwinds network setup with MySQL set to Raid 5, what do I need to do to change it to Raid 10? Please keep in mind that I am not very savvy with SQL so use novice terms for me.
