LanSweeper Integration

$

I recently purchased LanSweeper to integrate with WHD. In my initial testing, I am getting too many assets like monitors etc. that I really don't want to see in WHD. I'm also getting duplicate assets. The LS url fails in WHD. Is there any way to filter what comes over from LS? I still can't figure out why I'm getting so many duplicates.

Monitoring Desktops and Laptops with NPM?

$
0
0

Hello all

 

I am being gently encouraged (pressured) to investigating adding 3000 laptops/desktops (with dynamic addresses) to NPM, so our helpdesk can pro-actively find issues with low disk space and CPU utilization etc on end user devices. This would need to be WMI based.

 

I am thinking NPM is not the right tool for this, the load on the server would be massive, and managing 3000 dynamic devices would be a complete pain for them.

 

Is there a better product out there for this? Perhaps agent-based? Are there any more rock-solid reasons i can throw out there not to do this?

 

Thanks in advance!

FEATURE REQUEST - Add SNMP Alternate Port option to Network Discovery

$

0

Add an option in Network Discovery to add an alternate udp or tcp port for the SNMP check.

 

Example: HP-UX standard snmp does not report properly for SolarWinds. Augment by installing net-snmp and have it run on an alternate port (standard snmp is required for other services, so no need to disable this way).

 

net-snmp on 1161

standard on 161

Network Discovery to add polling on 1161

As those of you who have attended Cisco Live and VMWorld in the US or Europe know, we've gotten some fantastic slogans from our community and employees for our Buttons and Stickers. 

We've got a great running list of slogans, but we need the assistance of our fabulous thwack community members to help us come up with some new ones!  To get the creative juices flowing, here's a few favorites from the current selection:

·         I’m here because you broke something

·        I’m not babbling I’m just encrypted

·        To err is human; to really screw up, you need root

 

·        It’s not that I can’t explain it; it’s just that you wouldn’t understand

·        No, the network is not down

·         My head is in The Cloud

·         Don't Pee in my Virtual Pool

·         I caught the Ether-Bunny in my EtherNet

·         Byte Me

For the best submissions, I've got some great SolarWinds Geek swag to give out!!
Thanks for the assistance,

Error Message after installing SAM

First of all, this is my first week at the job. As a newbie, in order to learn NPM and SAM, I tried to install SAM for evaluation on our test server which NPM has already installed on. Then I realized that someone else installed before me and evalution period has expired. I decided to leave everything as it was before; however this time I got this error when I tried to open web console.

 

Resource Key 'LicenseElementDisplayName_Components' was not found in Resource File 'APM.Strings'

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: SolarWinds.Internationalization.Exceptions.TokenSubstException: Resource Key 'LicenseElementDisplayName_Components' was not found in Resource File 'APM.Strings'

Source Error:

The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:

1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:

  <%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>

or:

2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:

<configuration>
   <system.web>
       <compilation debug="true"/>
   </system.web>
</configuration>

Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

All down components in a single email for a single node

$

We monitor multiple services on our servers individually (cluster service, MSDTC, etc) and when we get alerts for a down service the email is for each individual service.

How can I format the alert to have all the down services (that we want to monitor) for a single node in one email?

 

Currently, I'm using these SQL variables:

 

Components down on ${N=SwisEntity;M=Application.Node.DisplayName}:

 

${N=SwisEntity;M=Application.ApplicationAlert.ComponentsWithProblems}

 

Thanks everyone

Meru controllers CPU and Memory

Memory monitoring on an ASR 1001 doesn't tally

$

Hi peeps

 

We are currently monitoring a Cisco ASR 1001.  This is not in the "live enviroment but we are monitoring it before we make it our main gateway.

The problem we are having is Solarwinds monitor is indicating we are using a constant 62% of the memory on this device.  We have disabled all debugging but the memory useage doesn't seem to tie up with what is being indicated on the device itself.

Has anyone else experianced similar issues with Cisco ASR devices

Anyone monitoring Cisco ASR 9K CPU & Memory via NPM?

ASR's CPU & MEM monitoring,

 

Either in realtime or while generating network utilisation reports, our NPM has never generated a correct reports. 

 

We would be interested to know additional comments on ways to monitor ASR's CPU & MEM in realtime.

 

Thanks!.

Polling Cisco Devices - memory alarms reporting falsely

$

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a situation where we have a bbr reporting in solar winds as 99% when we log into the device it is only at 69% and can't figure out why. I first moved the device to another poller and it took 20 minutes for it to update and then 10 minutes later reporting at 99% again and I logged into the device it is at 69%.

 

I am trying to understand why it is taking so long for the graph and the alert to clear.

 

Example 9:59 it alerted saying 99% memory

10:24 alerts say it is down to 49% but when I checked at 10:17 am it still said it was at 69% not 99%.


Virtualization Module not working right for Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter

I have several Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Hyper-V nodes in Orion and they are showing up as 'Host status unknown'. I have verified proper credentials and IP addresses. This only seems to happen on the Datacenter Hyper-V hosts. I can poll their normal stats fine with Orion, it's the Hyper-V polling that isn't working. I'm running NPM 11.5.2, SAM 6.2.2, IVIM 2.1.0, NCM 7.4.

How to get string of rows from a poller ?

NTA Website Configuration Failed

$

I'm currently trying to finish installing the NTA 4.0.1 . I've completed the NTA database install part and I'm now working on the NTA server portion.

At the very end of the install, when the window opens and has ' Configuration installing' with the status bar showing progress, it finishes with an error.

 

Specifically it says:

 

*Website Configuration Failed: Un-handled exception occurred during instantiating type [SolarWinds.Orion.Core.Discovery.Plugin] from assembly [SolarWinds.Orion.Core.DiscoveryPlugin]*

 

Went ahead with the HotFixes but I received the same error during the configuration phase of each HotFix.

 

Did some research, and the discovery plugin mentioned in the error is from HotFix 2 on the NPM module.

 

A theory was it needed to be un-installed and re-installed? I shouldn't install it period? It was installed incorrectly?

 

If anyone has any experience in this, I would greatly appreciate the feedback. Working to get this installed on an Enterprise network now rather than later.

 

 

R,

Shannon

Incorrect lastboot time appearing for Cisco 6509 switch.

$

Something is not right. I have a Cisco switch and Solarwinds shows a lastboot time "7/15/2011 3:38", however from the device itself says“System restarted at 00:02:38 CST Fri Mar 5 2010”.  What are the correct steps to take to ensure any switch is being polled correctly and displaying the correct  lastboottime in Solarwinds? The community/ACL for some datacenter devices were corrected however, It is still displaying the wrong last reboot time. Should we rediscover the devices? I look forward to anyone's insight. thank you
