Since the official simplified Chinese localization is always un-released, I have to do it myself...
With my continuous efforts, I finally almost finished the Chinese localization of web UI. Look like this:
This localization works is more human readable than machine translation. In other words, this task takes me a lot of time and headwork.
Of course, there are still some minor problems. I think i can fix them in the near future.
Hi guys,
Could anyone please share screenshots of their trigger condition for an alert that is suited to mute Down alerts on Child objects that are down?
I have a dependency where a router is the parent and a group is the child. I only wish to receive alerts when the router is down and suppress the hundreds of alerts I would get when the group members are down. Any help greatly appreciated.
What sorts of charts, graphs and info do you have on your NPM Summary page? Looking for suggestions outside of what I have.
Thanks!
I've picked up the management of our existing Solarwinds environment which has been in place for close to 10 years.
We are a global firm with office (and virtualized servers) across the globe, but IMO we only have a small set of nodes, interfaces and volumes relative to our size and what a single Solarwinds can handle.
Our current architecture is set up as seen below.

Now i know that we need to upgrade to the latest software version and that is already on my road map.
Second to this is that the environment needs to be rebuilt using Server 2016 and SQL 2017.
But i have a few other questions:
thanks
When adding new nodes to NPM, do you use Network Sonar or you add your nodes directly?
What version of BIG-IP your F5s run?
Please expand on “Other” and why by adding a comment below.
What percentage of all your switch ports approximately comes from stacked and standalone switches?
Please help us understand your organization's thinking on this topic by selecting how much you agree or disagree with the following statement:
"My company would never purchase a SaaS-based monitoring tool to monitor our on-premises IT infrastructure."
SolarWinds has Product Upgrade Advisor website which helps users to validate compatibility of product versions.https://customerportal.solarwinds.com/support/product-upgrade-advisor
Do you use that prior any product upgrade?
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?
How is everyone doing this? Ideally, you'd want to monitor all of your interfaces, but not alarm on them if they're not in use. You can set the interface to admin down on the switch, and Orion then knows it's not down, but then if you use that interface in the future you will have to make sure it's checked in Orion for monitoring. This seems like an extra step, and can result in critical interfaces not being monitored if someone forgets or misses that step. Also to consider are ports that change dynamically (IE; a port a user is connected to goes down because they've shut off their computer). Is there a way to do this without the manual work of constantly unchecking/checking interfaces you care about?
Can anyone recommend a company to assist in setting up SolarWinds, but it must be on-site? I'm in the Chicago area.
With the explosion of smart mobile devices, both tablets and phones and end users wanting to connect them for email, remote access (VPN), wireless etc. How are you handling this? Does your organization even see this as a problem? What level of control are you looking for? Do you care if they have apps like DropBox are installed on them and uploading corporate files without your knowledge?
When I talk about Mobile Device Management I mean specifically things like:
Tell us your biggest pain point when troubleshooting IT issues, e.g. users complaining about slow or broken access to applications.
Select your biggest pain point from this list.
Of course any additional comment to this page would be great (e.g. second biggest, pain point not listed below...)
Do you have a need to detect rogue APs connected to your network?
Looking for a report to show total # of unique clients for each wireless AP per month. I am wondering if anyone has done this report already.
We have version 12.3 fof NPM.
Is there a way to export all of the network gear in SW/NPM to import into a new SW server?
Can you edit the fields after the export and then upload it with the changes?
