Custom poller for interface problem

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I need to create a custom poll to show interface numbers, speed, status, etc. but when I create it only shows me the interfaces that are in the list resources. Is this correct? (when I create the poll I see all the interfaces that the node has and its values).

 

PD: Sorry for my English.

 

 

thanks


Need Help Creating a Custom View

$
0
0

Is there a way to create a view that includes information from different nodes?  For example, in the diagram below I want a little info from node A and node B to be placed into one Custom view titled "Connection 1."  The information I would place in this view would be:

1) status of both nodes

2) status of the physical interfaces these nodes use to connect to each other

3) the routing protocol

 

The reason for this is because if any of these are down, the connection between the 2 are down.  I have multiple connections like the example below and will eventually place them into a NOC view.  If this cannot be done, does anyone have an alternative?

I can say that I am actually very impressed with the new features that have been introduced.  The Load balancing, Maps and GUI features are a nice touch.

It's the little touches that have made me happy.  Well done Solarwinds.

Cisco IOS 16.6.3 no longer shows a PRI D channel as a seperate channel

$
0
0

We monitor the up/down status of PRI's with NPM by monitoring the D channel of the PRI.  (Channel 23:Signaling).  Beginning with the implementation of Cisco IOS 16.6.3 on routers, we see that that channel has disappeared from being discovered by NPM.  We now see only the 24 voice channels.  Doing an SNMP walk of the MIB confirmed this.

 

Have others noticed this?  How are others monitoring the up/down status of PRI's using NPM?   I was thinking that possibly monitoring channel 23 would accomplish up/down monitoring, but if this is truly only the voice portion of the circuit, it won't work.  Appreciate any input others have.

In my environment , we have routers switches firewall and other devices monitoring in Solarwinds . When we take switch , when i see the CPU utilization i am getting 5 to 6 CPu for single cisco 6509 switch.

 

I need to see as single CPU graph which shows the utilization alone.Kindly assist

 

Instead of showing 4 CPU i need a single CPU utilization

High CPU utilization is been observed in few cisco switches and that is not allowing to login to those switches and reason due to SNMP

 

Can i know whether any one faced the same issue and what was the solution for that.


Questions on Account Creation for "Windows Individual Account"

$
0
0

I use a CAC card to log into my machine and when navigating to the web console I am able to bypass the username and password and go directly to the Home Summary page.  My account was created as a "Windows individual account."  My questions are:

 

1) What does Solarwinds use to authenticate me?  Is it LDAP, secure LDAP, etc?

2) What ports are used in this process?

3) From a security stand point, I don't see any authentication going on with Solarwinds when I close the browser and reopen it and navigate to my web console.  Where would I look to see how Solarwinds authenticates me each time I access the web console?  Maybe I should ask how exactly does the "Windows individual Account" work regarding logins and authentications?

4) I was informed by my system admin that Solarwinds could issue a token.  Does it?  How long does this token last before another token is issued?  I heard it's application specific.

 

 

Thank you in advance.

NPM Polls and TLS 1.0 vs 1.2

$
0

Okay, so here is a weird question. We have our Orion NPM 12.1 monitoring a couple external websites, polling every minute. The polls work fine for 19 polls, and then the 20th poll (every 20 minutes) the poll fails and reports the website down. The website, is of course not down. We wiresharked the polls, and it seems that the 20th poll is being done using TLS v1.0, where as the other polls use TLS v1.2 -- the v1.2 polls succeed, and the v1.0 polls fails (with good reason since we have disabled TLS 1.0 on the web servers).

 

Now, I'm not asking about disabling TLS 1.0 using NPM 12.1 since I already read the threads which say it can't be done (read the threads for more info if you are interested in this).

 

What I am asking about is why would 19 out of 20 polls use TLS v1.2, and then the 20th one use v1.0? This seems very strange to me. Any suggestions?  Well-- besides upgrading -- which is in process, but System Architect Murphy has been using his Law to prevent the upgrade.

SNMP Traps Message macros

Hello

 

I have one requirement to convert SNMP Traps to an E mail Notification

 

I have created one and I need to add few details in mail body like below

 

 

Source Host Name  : ${Node.Caption}

Source IP Address : ${IP}

Destination Host :

 

I was able to retrieve first two variables but not able to get the last one (Destination Host) which is available in Trap Message 'spsActiveAlarmSource.1:= testnode'

 

any idea how to grep this only value from trap Message and place next to 'Destination Host' later it should be like 'Destination Host : testnode'

SolarWinds Job Engines on Primary and Additional Pollers

$

0

I've been troubleshooting some intermittent issues with some of our Orion pollers at different sites and came across something that I think is strange, but I'm not sure if it's how it's wrong. I've noticed that our primary Orion pollers have the Job Engine v1.6.0 and Job Engine v2.11.0 installed. However, on our additional pollers, ONLY v2.11.0 is installed. Is it normal to have both v1 and v2 Job Engines installed on the primary pollers and only v2 on the additional pollers?

 

Also, is there really still a function of the v1 job engine on the newer versions of Orion products? Does the Job Engine v1 even still need to be installed on these servers, or can it be manually removed?

Dependencies Clarification

$
0
0

I'm trying to find some clarity on how dependencies should be set up.

 

We have a few different scenarios where we think a child should have multiple parents. The documentation mention to put multiple parents in a group I'm not clear how that works. If one parent in the group goes down will the child alerts still be suppressed and we'll just get the alert on that parent? Or does the group as a whole since its the parent need to go down?

 

We turned on auto dependencies and it found the node - node dependencies but we have interfaces where multiple routers aggregate back to that we'd like to a more granular dependency on. I've created a group for the routers that aggregate back to that interface. If there are already node to node dependencies and and I also create an interface to group with the same edge routers will the edge routers alert be suppressed if the core node AND interface goes down? Or is it a core node OR interface behavior? Also for clarity the interface is an interface on that same core node. Or do I need to create a group for the node and interface and use that as the parent?

Hi All,

 

Our team needs a better Note option to update/edit regarding network outage and primary contact details.

Unfortunately we don't see the Note option as a good one to do this.

do we have any other option to accomplish this ?

Dell Switches LLDP issue and Mapping

$

I am having is that the NPM Topology isn’t working correcty with our Dell N3000 series switches and our legacy Dell Force 10 S50v:

 

Good example:

 

 

Based on this article https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Topology_related_OIDs_polled_by_the_Orion_Platform?CMPSource=THW&CMP=ORGANIC it mentions using the OIDs for LLDP That are used for discovery:

 

View from command on switch:

 

snmpwalk:

 

 

As you can see the information is missing/incomplete from NPM

 

I also notice that the MIB browser from the node detail shows:

 

 

Obviously the new mapping feature is pretty useless, we have multiple sites with these 2 types of switches.  What can be done to resolve this?

Email alert sent even if not triggered

I am doing basic memory utilization monitoring and alert if over 90% for over 3 hours.

When I test it, it appears to work fine. But over time I will get continues emails with nodes that are still much less then 90%.  Weird part is if I run same trigger query in SWIS query page, same node does not show up.  At first I though it was because old alert was not acknowledged.  Well, they have all been ack'ed now and it is still sending emails.  Email alert actually sais that node is using 81% memory.  I am using Orion platform 2017.3.2 SP2 and NPM 12.2 and many other modules that are either up to date or one minor version behind.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

 

I have a device that provides seperate values for month / day / hour / minute .

 

I am trying to use transform to join these 4 x values to into a single value.

I currently get this result which removes the leading zeroes which is not ideal.

 

Any idea how I can produce the intended result of

"04/05 00:19"

?

 

Thanks in advance
