I use solarwinds NPM9.5 could see cpu,memory,volumes,interface,but I could not see any about Checkpoint value.If I open both snmp of splat and cp,but I only can monitor port 161,when i add node with port 260,it always show no respond,I check the firewall log,it was accept,anyone can help me?
Thanks.
Hello,
I am a new SolarWinds admin and I have been asked by our management to make use of the SNMP Contact and Location fields in my alerts.
So this has been working fine until I ran into our VMware vSphere ESXi 4.1 and 5.0 nodes. These nodes were not reporting Contact or Location data. So my VMware guy and I spent the day reading various forums and blogs, making changes to our ESXi lab environment. After more than 8 hours of two IT guy’s head scratching, I decided to ask the question here.
Has anyone gotten VMware vSphere ESXi 4.1 or ESXi 5.0 to successfully populate the SNMP collected Contact and Location fields? If so, how did you go about it?
Thanks for any help you can provide

Hi!!
I have two stacks of Cisco 3850's and both of them are reporting that the temperature is around 4 degrees Celsius. I have had both Solarwinds Support and Cisco Support look at this.
We did a SNMPWALK to check the MIB's and they seem correct, but when it comes to posting the temperatures in NPM, they are way off.
The switches say they are a happy 25 degrees Celsius. That I can beleive becasue my closet is at a comfortable temerature.

In case anyone is trying to get SNMPv3 working, I created a tutorial for our engineers and thought I would post the link for people here. https://packetpros.com/netmon/SNMPv3_Orion.html [updated link]
I see many of these Traps in my system. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it a misconfiguration of the SNMP settings on devices? Should I create an SNMP account in the Active Directory and use this for the logon instead of the Local System Account? Just wondering if someone knows the answer. BTW these messages are almost always from servers.
Down for me roughly 10:20am EDT.
Can't access tickets, etc.
Hi All --
Running Net-SNMP 5.4.1 on a wide range of Solaris and Linux boxes /w NPM 9.1 SP5 monitoring a range of params.
The problem is with the "Physical memory" monitoring.
Linux MemFree includes Cached memory. The cache is typically a filesystem cache where the kernel helpfully places recently read/written files for quick retrieval later.
The issue is on all our Linux boxes that over time [as more and more files are read], Physical memory usage always climbs to 99% [with the kernel helpfully not allocating to the cache about 6megs :)] See attachment. Its the same story for all recent Linux kernels.
This isn't a problem in so far as actual memory usage = MemTotal - Cached, however it basically renders default memory monitoring on NPM useless [and from reading many forum postings, I presume most people just turn it off].
The thing is I want to know/alert if real memory usage gets above say 80%, etc.
# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 3995632 kB
MemFree: 66236 kB
Buffers: 324112 kB
Cached: 2719860 kB
SwapCached: 68 kB
Active: 2466712 kB
Inactive: 1215628 kB
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3901 3851 50 0 316 2669
-/+ buffers/cache: 865 3036
Swap: 12001 0 12001
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.1 = STRING: Physical memory
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.3 = STRING: Virtual memory
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.6 = STRING: Memory buffers
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.7 = STRING: Cached memory
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.8 = STRING: Shared memory
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.10 = STRING: Swap space
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.1 = INTEGER: 3995632
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.3 = INTEGER: 16285348
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.6 = INTEGER: 324052
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.7 = INTEGER: 2750756
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.8 = INTEGER: 0
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.10 = INTEGER: 12289716
The free shows both views, including and excluding the cache/buffers.
Essentially I would like to graph/monitor the (MemTotal - (MemFree-Buffers)), or in OID talk, (hrStorageSize.1 - hrStorageDescr.7)
So I spose to my question. Can I modify the query to do some maths, and remove the cache from the calculation that will monitor the Free Memory?
Cheers, Johhny.

I am planning to add some Cisco switches later today on NPM 9.5 I was wondering what's the SNMPv3 context section about? I know you can leave it blank.... I hope but I was wondering if I had to fill that in what would go in there
It would be good to know for future knowledge
Thanks

This has been a long-standing issue that I'm finally getting around to troubleshooting. We have recurring issues monitoring our Windows servers where SNMP (native Windows SNMP service) responds for a while and then simply stops responding. The Windows services are running, but Orion NPM's queries to the servers apparently are not answered. Restarting the Windows SNMP service resolves the issue temporarily, but after a few days (time varies), it stops responding again.
At this time, I have roughly half of my 95 Windows nodes flashing with interfaces in an "unknown" state. And actually, everything dependent on SNMP (CPU, memory, disks, interfaces, etc) are "unknown", NPM just doesn't state that (for some reason, it thinks it is still gathering data).
We have seen this issue on Windows 2003, 2003 R2, 2008, and 2008 R2. Most of our servers are now 2008 R2. From a quick glance, I see 2008 and 2008 R2 in "unknown" states, while an equal number are polling fine.
We are running NPM 10.1.2 (SolarWinds Orion Core 2011.1.0, IPSLAMGR 3.5.1, NPM 10.1.2, IVIM 1.1.0). Anyone else out there seeing this? SW Staff: any ideas for troubleshooting?
Thanks,

After upgrading to NPM 10.7 we are noticing quite a few issues in our environment and am wondering if anyone else is seeing the same and possibly has a fix. I have reached out to support, but time is critical for these issues so figured I would try here as well.
Scheduled Reports:-
We had scheduled reports set to email a PDF version of one of our views. This was working beautifully in 10.6, and since 10.7 all we receive is an error in the email stating:
Unable to retrieve url: https://ORIONSERVERNAME/Orion/SummaryView.aspx?ViewID=107 using PDF type.
I have tried removing the scheduled tasks associated with the original reports created using the old report scheduler, and recreating the reports from scratch using the new GUI based version. Same results, the error above. PDF export does in fact work if I navigate to the webpage listed above, and click export to PDF, no errors, comes out nice. Obviously I would still like for this to function as it once did without the manual intervention.
Application Status Unknown:-
Although SAM is not NPM, our application monitoring seems to have been affected from the update to NPM 10.7. Specifically nodes polled via our additional poller. The components which make up the application monitor all show an up / healthy status, yet the application itself shows 'unknown status', ONLY for nodes polled by our additional poller. The additional poller was also updated using the latest version available to us on the customer portal, which appears to have the same date as the NPM 10.7 installer, and the core versions show identical. If I change the poller for the node, wait a while, the application status goes from unknown to up / healthy to reflect that of the components themselves.
An example of what I mean:
Another issue is with the link utilization displaying on maps. So far I have not been able to get this to show for our WAN interfaces, I thought it was as simple as enabling the feature within Network Atlas? I guess I must be missing something. In any case with the other two issues this one is currently the least of my concerns because features that were working fine are horribly broken at the moment.
Any help, ideas, or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
After installing Orion 9.1, I'm unable to load the Orion Web Console. I receive a constant "service unavailable" error. Not an IIS person here...any ideas of where to start?
Thanks,
Lee
