Groups showing same content

$
0
0

We currently have our company's sites separated into groups, unfortunately when if for example I add a network map into the view for Europe, when I click on the view for North America I have the same content.

 

Is there a way so that when I edit a group, it doesn't edit all groups?


Poller Checker Tool - SNMPv3 Error

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this error.

 

I need to change the OID that is being polled for my Cisco ISR 4321's for CPU monitoring.  By default it goes with n.Cpu.SNMP.CiscoGen3 and I need CiscoGen1.  I used to be able to do this with the poller checker tool but I get this error when I click Detect Pollers:

 

"SNMP Version 3 Authorization Requested, but no/short AuthKey is set"

 

SolarWinds is polling these devices using SNMPv3 properly.  I've tried changing the SNMPv3 auth and priv keys.  Deleted/re-added the devices.  I can't figure it out.  I know this worked before, but I think has stopped working since upgrading to NPM 12 or 12.1.

 

Here's what I'm currently running:

 

Orion Platform 2017.1.3 SP3, NCM 7.6, CloudMonitoring 1.0.0, NPM 12.1, DPAIM 11.0.0, QoE 2.3, VIM 7.1.0, SAM 6.4.0, NetPath 1.1.0

 

I have a ticket open with support, but they are not helping. 

 

Has anyone seen this?

Loving PerfStack!  Is there any way to control permissions to PerfStack projects?  Can any Solarwinds user edit or delete one of my projects?  Can I make the RO for others if I want?   Thanks in advance!

How would you create a data-center-only NPM resource to show ports with errors on various Machine Types, without using custom properties?

$
0

I'm building a new Resource / Widget to add to my NPM front page, and its job is to only show data center switch ports that have errors or discards recorded on them.

 

The canned "High Errors & Discards Today" reports seems to be a good place to start, so I added it to NPM's front page and started working on customizing it.

 

I gave it a new Title (Data Center Port Errors & Discards Today), then began to work on the "Filter Nodes (SQL)" field to only show devices in the data centers, and this is where I start having some questions.

 

I'm looking to capture physical port errors and logical (port-channel or SVI or VLAN) information from a list of devices that includes:

  • Various models of Cisco ASA firewalls
  • Cisco Nexus 9000 ACI devices
  • Cisco Nexus 7009's
  • Cisco Nexus 5548's
  • Cisco 3850's

 

The SQL Filter I'm testing is:

 

MachineType Like '*55*' OR MachineType Like '*n9000*' OR MachineType Like '*700*' OR MachineType like '*5548*' OR MachineType like '*38*'

 

There aren't a lot of errors on the devices' ports, so I'm not sure what I've built is actually including all the devices intended.

 

Each device has a unique name, and perhaps I could build a SQL filter that included all the names, but the options for filtering via name include several items that seem to overlap.

 

  1. What are the differences between "SysName", "Description", and "Caption"? Which of these three options referencesonly the devices' names?  Or do they all do the same thing?
  2. For future reference:  What link can you share with me that provides an online resource that describes the many Node Properties and Interface Properties that can be filtered with SQL?
  3. Is there a better way to build the SQL filter--preferably without using Custom Properties? I've done Custom Properties with good results in the past.  But now I'm trying to get away from one-offs like Custom Properties, to make management more cookie-cutter and intuitive.  Custom Properties is a useful tool, but is . . . uh . . .  too . . .  "customized" to fit the goal of reducing one-offs that require more management time and more thought.
  4. Do you have any SQL syntax suggestions that can accomplish this better than what I've already come up with?

 

 

 

 

(I'm betting aLTeReGo or sqlrockstar would make short work of this with their SQL/SWQL magic skills!)

 

 

Thank you for any considerations you may share, and, as always:

 

Swift Packets!

Interface Downtime Report

Hi everyone,

 

I'm using Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor SLX license 3 years. I want to creat a interface downtime report for specific interfaces.

I modified Interface downtime summarize - Last 7 days report. When I view report, It shows start datetime, final datetime, status and duration time. So status is meaning? I think result is downtime of interfaces, but it is not correct.

Please explain for me.

And how can I create interface downtime report?

 

Thanks,

Mai

World Wide Mapping

Several questions here:

1. How do I bulk clear the map of nodes?

2. Can I only populate the Map with nodes that are members of a specific group?

3. Can I set it so that only Nodes showing down display on the WW map?

 

I have searched everywhere for answers to these question and come up dry so now I'm just going to put it out there.

Network Discovery from AD OU imports non-AD objects

$

Hi

 

Slightly odd problem here: I have a scheduled network discovery that is set to import all devices from 2 OUs in Active Directory.

This is where our servers are and in case a new server is installed, I want it to be imported into NPM.

This works just fine.

But, I have twice so far had a device being imported that is not in the selected OUs, it's not even in AD.

One was a workgroup Windows computer, the other a network printer.

 

If I delete the imported node in NPM, then it just gets imported again the next time the network discovery runs.

 

This is the only scheduled network discovery that we have and we don't normally use manual network discovery either.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

How do I stop Solarwinds from trying to communicate to certain IPs?

For some reason my Solarwinds is trying to reach out to IPs on a daily basis but is failing due to a block.  The block is intentional for security purposes which keeps showing up in my security logs.  Instead of consistently blocking Solarwinds from trying to reach out to these IPs, how do I just stop Solarwinds?

Pollers table causing Database Maintenance dbm_Pollers_DeleteOrphans procedure to fail

$

Good afternoon!

 

I'm seeing an issue with the dbm_Pollers_DeleteOrphans stored procedure.  The second delete statement is failing because there is a group of sequential pollers in the Pollers table with NetObject set to N:None and another sequential group set to N: .  As the procedure is trying to CAST(SUBSTRING(NetObject, 3, 10) AS int), it's failing each and every time.  Anyone have any idea how a set of pollers could've been created with a NetObjectID of 0 and NetObject N:None?  Are these safe to delete?

 

Stored Procedure Delete Query

DELETE FROM Pollers

WHERE (SUBSTRING(NetObject, 1, 1) = 'N')

  AND (

CAST(SUBSTRING(NetObject, 3, 10) AS int) IN (SELECT NodeId FROM DeletedNodes)

OR

CAST(SUBSTRING(NetObject, 3, 10) AS int) NOT IN (SELECT NodeID FROM Nodes)

  )

 

Query to Discover CAST errors

SELECT [PollerID]

      ,[PollerType]

      ,[NetObject]

      ,[NetObjectType]

      ,[NetObjectID]

      ,[Enabled]

FROM [MHNetPerfMon].[dbo].[Pollers]

WHERE SUBSTRING(NetObject, 1, 1) = 'N'

AND ISNUMERIC(SUBSTRING(NetObject, 3, 10)) = 0

 

Output of Discovery Query

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Storage requirements Calculation for Orion DATABASE-

$

Dear Experts,

 

we are planning to procure Solarwinds solution for our proposed  network( NPM,NTA,IPA,NCM),

 

We have a estimate of about 2000 Devices to be on boarded, And so we consider our's as a Large Environment ,

 

In detail,for NTA storage,  we need 8 GB for every 1000 flow per second , And so we can calculate based on the estimate number of flows,

 

But for Orion Database Server, Do we have any similar calculation to justify/Calculate the sizing requirements.


Cisco UCS in NPM

$

How are you guys getting SNMP polling to work with NPM? I can only get the status only ICMP to work and then the UCS manager credentials works as well. In UCS under admin -> communication services -> communication services and the SNMP area I have admin state enabled. The port is default at 161 For the community/username I made a string and saved it. Then in SNMP traps I have the ip of my solarwinds server set the same community/username as above the port is 162 and version is v2c and type is traps.

 

In solarwinds I have SNMP version as v2c, SNMP port at 161 (I tried 162 as well) I have allow 64-bit counters checked. For Community string I entered the same string I had in ucs but when I hit test it fails. I then put the community string and the same string for read/write community string and it fails. I have no idea why its not working.

Definition of Disk Volumes -> Shared memory on a Linux system

$

On my SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 (64-bit) system, under:

 

Disk Volumes, there's a value Shared memory that is set at 100%. I believe that value is /dev/shm/ and it has plenty of free memory.
Can somebody explain the definition of that value is?

Also, I know there are other threads about incorrect polling for memory utilization, such as this one:

Poller shows incorrect memory utilization (UNIX and Linux) - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

 

But attempting to follow these instructions, I'm having some confusion:

 

  1. Select poller type (memory in this case).
  2. Click Detect Pollers.
  3. Right-click the supported pollers and complete a Poll now.

 

The only part I see Pollers is in Management -> Pollers and there's also a Poll Now. But pressing Poll Now doesn't change the results.

Interface Alert for two Nodes sharing same link

$
0
0

i have interface alerts turned but when it comes to interfaces that are connecting two nodes, i get two alerts. One for each nodes interface that goes down.

 

For example.

 

Node 1, interface gi1/1 is connected to Node 2 gi1/1

 

When there is a problem with the link that is shared between Node 1 and Node 2, I get two alerts. To make matters worse, I am using the ServiceNow integration feature so I also get two incident tickets open when its really only one event that took place.

 

Is there any way for an alert to know that the interfaces that are down are part of a common link? 

 

Dependencies groups is out of the question here because i have over a thousand nodes and exponentially more interfaces. It would be great if i can somehow leverage the Layer 2 awareness that solarwinds has built in to make this possible.

Also, i really don't want to stop monitoring one side because then i will loose important interface stats.

 

Anyone solve this?
