Alerts > Execute an NCM Action

I'm trying to get an IP address of a specific interface and then run some commands from another device. I am using SWQL to get the IP address and a SWIS variable to pass the NodeID.

 

Does anyone know if there is a limitation for resolving variables and SWQL at the same time?

 

Here is what I'm trying to do.

 

ping ${N=SWQL;M=select IPAddress from Orion.NodeIPAddresses where IPAddress like '10.254.%' and InterfaceIndex = '2' and NodeID = '${N=SwisEntity;M=NodeID}'}

 

Here is the result.

 

ping ${N=SWQL;M=select IPAddress from Orion.NodeIPAddresses where IPAddress like '10.254.%' and InterfaceIndex = '2' and NodeID = '32'}
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

 

You can see that the variable resolves but the SWQL doesn't, but if I run just SWQL like below it works (I expect the pings to fail).

 

ping ${N=SWQL;M=select IPAddress from Orion.NodeIPAddresses where IPAddress like '10.254.%' and InterfaceIndex = '2' and NodeID = '32'}

 

ping 10.254.x.x
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.254.x.x, timeout is 2 seconds:

Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)


Default Group Summary Home page

I can't for the life of me figure out where to change the Default "Home" Group Summary page.  I've built a custom Group Summary page, and assigned it as the default and home view of a user. However, when i go to Group Details, in the upper right corner there's a dropdown bar which says "Home", which then takes me to the out-of-the-box Group Summary page.  I'd like to press that Home button in the dropdown menu (not the menu bar) and go to my custom Group Summary page, and not the out-of-the-box one. You can see in the attached picture which Home bar i'm referring to.

 

Thanks in advance! I hope i'm just being blind and missing something.

Solarwinds Needs Reboot Every 3 days

Since upgrading to NPM12.3 a couple of weeks ago our SolarWinds system now seems to hang every couple of days and we need to reboot the server in order resolve the issue.

 

When trying to access the Server via the webpage we get the error below. I installed the latest hotfix bundle earlier in the week but the problem persists.

 

I'm seeing on another thread that other people are also experiencing this, but it's not clear whether a fix was found?

 

Alerts and SMS

$

At first I had setup an alert to trigger when the uplink on each switch would go down, but I kept getting false alerts. I had used a complex trigger. I kept getting false alerts. I doubled check the switch and logging. Then SW recommended I change the trigger to a simple one and I did. I got the same results.

I have edited the default "Node is Down" to the message I want to be displayed which works perfect. Is there a way to customize alerts by groups?

I see I can create custom alert, but is there a way to create group alerts without having to emulate the alert for each node/switch?

 

 

IE:

 

I have group for all Building 1 network gear. (Tech 1 Tech 2) (Group Building 1)

I have another group for all network gear in a different subnet and location. (Tech 3 Tech 4) (Group Building 2)

 

I want to create an alert by the group to send a text or email to the HD Tech at those specific locations without the other tech from other sites receiving them. At the moment all network engineers get the email, text and a script automatically creates a work order. So from the above setting I want the action below to happen.

 

A node goes offline in Building 1 --> alert is send to Network Engineers default and alert is sent to Tech 1 and Tech 2 only(email and text) --> work order generated

A node goes offline in Building 2 --> alert is send to Network Engineers default and alert is sent to Tech 3 and Tech 4 only(email and text) --> work order generated

 

Hopefully I described it good enough that you all can understand.

Solarwinds not updating Node Status after converting Router Model

$
0
0

Background: We have over 4000 nodes that are currently being monitored by ICMP and SNMPv2 each being a router. Recently we have been converting stores over to a different provider where the router uses SNMPv3 and an alert has been created to determine when one of these sites have converted so that we can update the node with the correct SNMP version and interfaces to monitor. The Alert triggers when Node Status us up while the interfaces are unknown.

 

Issue: For some reason, after the conversion, the node status stays down but we are able to ping the router. We have various nodes that did work correctly and then mostly the others did not. We have tried to rediscover the node and also changed the Status & response from ICMP to SNMP and back but nothing seems to change. Any ideas out there?

 

Thank you!!

Two Solarwinds Instances Polling Same Node via Agent

$

Hello,

We are about to build out a new 12.3 environment on new hardware and I had a question.  We have quite a few nodes that are being polled via Agent on our current 12.1 environment.  We will be running both systems in parallel until the new 12.3 environment is fully set up. Will we be able to point our new 12.3 environment to the same agent polled nodes or will the new version have a problem with the agent version and try to update them potentially breaking the polling on our 12.1 environment.

Initial Orion API call is always slow

$

Hi

 

We are doing some development to create and update nodes in Orion using the API however we have run into a problem where each time the code/application executes, the initial call always takes around 15 seconds to return. Subsequent calls in the same execution then respond quickly but when the code executes again, the initial call is back to 15 seconds.

 

The issue has been noticed across three different installs of Orion and in different environments so its not believed to be a server or environment issue. During our testing we have also noted that even if there is just a few seconds between each execution of the code/application the first call is always 15 seconds.

 

We have been using the OrionSDK on GitHub but if it makes any difference, the first call is always a query request. The application is also being executed on the same server as where we have Orion NPM installed.

 

It would be good if the first call didn't always take around 15 seconds so are there any thoughts on what may be causing it?


Getting unnecessary multiple packet loss alert for child nodes,while Primary node is down, how to avoid the false alert?

$
0

Hi,

I have some challenges related packet loss, please help to fix this.

Could you please let me know if there is any way if Router has packet loss it should not trigger alert for the child node which is behind it. In this Case 'Router A' has the primary connection which has packet loss so we should get only alert for 'Router A' and not for other device behind it.

Differences between Polling method and Status & Response time as ICMP/SNMP?

Hi All,

 

I have few questions:

 

Why we always get notification " You see cached version of resources from.......for few nodes"?

How " Status & response time work as ICMP & SNMP ?

How does SNMP works like there will be any calculations method or how much time it takes to complete the task?

How "SNMP polling method" and " Status and Response time- SNMP" are different?

 

Adding LAP's to Groups

Maybe I'm just being a bit dull but for the life of me I can't see how to assign an AP to a specific named group. These are LAP's managed by a WLC.

 

Now, this may stem from the way the devices were scanned in and / or our lack of understanding of the tool but we are desperately trying to catch up.

Dev to Live Migration question.

$

Apologies if this is a dumb newbie question.... but I'm just getting started with this particular product set.

 

We have a development environment where we are trialling various aspects of the SolarWinds tooling (NPM, NCM, NTA, SAM HA etc).

 

This gives us a good feel for the product set, and as part of this we are looking to understand how to  move some of the configuration into Live operation.

 

We have stringent operational Quality Control and Change Management procedures in place, so we need to be able to replicate any customisations in our live environment - without copying an entire database or having to re-type the configurations. Essentially we need to be able to  export then import various configurations - but not the actual individual device/application settings. As in most commercial organisations our systems (dev & live) are air-gapped, so we want to maximise the control of what appears in Live.

 

For example the types of things that we would need to be ported through to live would be:

  • definitions for Windows User Groups and permissions within SolarWinds
  • Menu customisations
  • application templates
  • Polling configurations
  • etc.

 

Is there a way to do this, ideally as simple as possible

 

All suggestions gratefully received - Thanks in advance

NPM 12.3 Upgrade affecting Alerting from Alert Central

I'm currently preparing to upgrade to NPM 12.3 but I was told that by doing this my alerting from Alert Central would no longer work. I currently have all my alerts set up in Alert Central and dont want to lose the functionality.

 

Can someone confirm this, and if so would that mean I would have to recreate my rules in Orion Alerts or is there a way to continue to use Alert Central

UNDP on views

$

Hi all,

 

I created an UNDP to retrieve the status of several VPN tunnels from a Fortigate.

 

The problem is, the table containing this information can be displayed in the "Node Details" page only.

 

I have created a view containing several maps and I need this table to be displayed there

 

Creating a custom table doesn't help because I am unable to add any UNDP created - only some pre-configured UNDPs show up there.

 

Does anybody have experience with this?

 

Thanks

Netflow report for bandwidth or utilization between source and destination

Hi

I need to create a report for the Netflow data, that will show me the amount of data passed between source and destination, for example, the amount of data (in bytes) passed between an IP in the organization and the mail server in the last 7 days or 24 hours, or any IP to any application. I did not find something like that in the reports, or I missed it if it is there.

 

Any Idea?

 

Thanks in advance and regards

Interface usage report/graph for total receive/transmit bps

Hi, After a bit of help if I may ?.

 

We have 5 sites and each site has 2 WAN facing routers via 2 separate providers.

 

I am trying to put a NOC view (or similar) together for the management team that shows just the WAN interface in each site but just the total (or peak) bps.

At present all I can find/show is peak receive and peak transmit and by the time you have 4 of those per site it gets a bit messy , I don't seem to be able to see any other options ?

Group Member Added/Removed Frequently??

$
0
0

I've noticed recently that one of our SolarWinds groups keep regularly losing and gaining a member, but I don't know why this is. Is there anyway to ascertain which member(s) are getting added/lost to try and figure out what is happening. This is happening when I'm confident there are no new nodes being added or removed on the system.

 

Any ideas? Could this be a bug? The behavior started about a week ago (I suspect after I applied the latest HF bundle) but none of our other groups are doing this....
