Tabular Power Supply Poller for Cisco 3750 Stacks - not reporting proper status

$
0
0

So I have built out tabular pollers; but for some of the 3750 stacks the 2nd and 3rd switches are reporting these Power Supply's Down.

I can not use that for an Alert due to bad values. I have even re polled to update the data, and it still shows bad. Switch says everything is good.

As it is now, I am watching my inbox fill up with these alerts, seems there may be one sent for each bad value shown. (Good thing it's just my inbox)

 

From Orion Website Table

 

  Power Supply Status

Custom chart showing utilization assistance for NOC view

$

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if it is possible to create a table that contains the a column for  Location Field, Inbound % Utilization, and Outboud % Utilization for the WAN interface at each of our sites.  This is for our NOC, so it will be going up on a monitor to give them an overview of the WAN.

 

I initially started with building this out on a map.   I was placing the interface on the map, and then in the label I was using the following "LOC - ${InPercentUtil} /  ${OutPercentUtil}".  What I am running into is we have several sites on the east coast, so the labeling is getting tight in that area.

 

I started using Report Writer but couldn't that to work correctly so I'm open to suggestions.

Bump; I have noticed that all my nodes of a 3750 color are running;  Cisco IOS Software, C3750E Software (C3750E-UN​IVERSALK9-M), Version 12.2(55)SE​3  one runs SE4

Which may be code version related, if anyone is aware of a bug chime in.

 

BUT These alerts did not stop, about 8 boxes and the alert just kept sending emails every 1, 2 or 3 minutes.

I just deleted about 150 Alerts/Emails from a duration of 20 minutes and 8 nodes.

Re: Using WPM with Silverlight - many, many steps

Peter Krutý ,

 

thanks much for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much one could do - short of adding functionality to allow recording of form submission and input in a Silverlight site - that would fix this problem.

It's not so much a problem with WPM as a limitation. If you look at my other post regarding challenges with measuring transactions in Silverlight, you can see that I'm getting inaccurate time readings as well.

I've been tasked with trying to automate, monitor, and measure performance of web transactions for this particular Silverlight site, and it's very, very difficult to do - I'm not sure how much that has to do with WPM, though.

It's more about the site itself. I've hit the wall on how to best do this.

Not able to download configs using local (Non-Active Directory)

$

I am not able to download configs from Solarwinds Nodes when using a local account (tradmin). I am able to download configs from Solarwinds Nodes when using my Active Directory account (DOCNET/tjadmin).

 

I use my Active Directory User id (tjadmin) to access Solarwinds Orion and Network Management Control (NCM).  This same User id (tjadmin) is also part of the DOCNET domain.  I am able to download configs from a Solarwinds Node that is configured with Cisco TACACS+ and AAA.  However, I am not able to download a config from a Solarwinds Node which is not configured with Cisco TACACS+ and AAA.

 

Following are the steps I have taken in an attempt to resolve this issue:

  1. Created a Username (tradmin) and password on the Cisco switch
  2. Created a Solarwinds local account (tradmin).  I used the same password as the one on the Cisco switch
  3. Ensured User Level Login Credentials for tradmin has the same password which was used in Step 1 and 2.  For Enable Level, selected enable.  I used the same enable password which was configured on the Cisco switch.
  4. Verified tradmin, password for tradmin, and enable password work by SSHing to the switch
  5. Removed all access-list, AAA, and TACACS+ on the switch.

 

 

 

 

In summary, I need to NCM download configs from Solarwinds Nodes while using a local username and password.  I have verified the local username, password, and enable password work by accessing the Node via the SSH and using the local username, password, and enable password.

Issue with Orion.APM.Application.Unmanage

$

Here's the issue.

 

When i'm in the Solarwinds web interface and select an Application component to be unmanaged for an application, i'm getting different results between unmanaging from the Web interface vs. the Orion.APM.Application.Unmanage.

 

So in this example i'm going to show you a IIS Monitor we have for solarwinds.   This is the results of query for this appid of 117 from SWQL after calling the API's Unmanage Verb.

 

unmanage new new from app.PNG

Some interesting points.  Upon getting a successfull result from calling the API, i go and check the web interface and there is no indication that this component/application was placed into an unmanaged state.  I've verified that i'm injecting the time in the correct format by mangling the variable prior to submitting to the api and get the expected failures.  So on to the next test.

 

The next picture is when i click unmanage from within the Web Interface, while scoped to the ApplicationComponent ID - verified by looking at the AA:117in my URL

 

unmanage new from ui.PNG

 

Notice the Unmanaged field difference between the two pictures.  When i use the API, the Unmanaged field stays false.  When i use the web interfafce the Unmanaged field get's marked at True.

 

Am i experiencing some bug in the API?  Is there a work around?  Temporaily in my utility that i've written to display Application components, but grab the associated node id and just Unmanage the node but this is FAR from optimal.

 

Please assist.

 

Message was edited by: Charles Russell - changed the app id to reflect the information in the pictures.

join on the nodeid and inerfaceindex in the trap to the nodeid and interfaceindex in the interfaces table.

Any ideas?

Re: Custom chart showing utilization assistance for NOC view

You should be able to do something like that, figure out what the InterfaceID is and you could use something like:

 

SELECT Nodes.Location, Nodes.Caption, Interfaces.InterfaceName, Interfaces.OutPercentUtil, Interfaces.InPercentUtil FROM Interfaces INNER JOIN Nodes ON Interfaces.NodeID = Nodes.NodeID WHERE Interfaces.InterfaceID = xxxx OR Interfaces.InterfaceID = xxxx OR Interfaces.InterfaceID = xxxx ORDER BY Nodes.Location DESC

 

as SQL in your OrionReport file or the equivalent through the Report Writer. Might be a better way to do it but I believe that should work for what you're asking

Re: NPM Cisco WLC 5508 reporting Thin AP disappeared and all interfaces in warning state

The fix was a code upgrade on the WLC to 7.3.112.0.. I need to upgrade this again to 7.4 as we just started to see a large amount of traps for "Client with MAC address xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx has joined profile DDDDDD" for every device that connects. This is only happening on the WLC that we have were we enabled FlexConnect. Either way, the original WLC upgrade fixed my original post.

SWIS test rig

I am experimenting with the SolarWinds SWIS test rig.

I want to update the value in the Comments field for node 469.

 

I have an Action that successfully gets the information:

GET: Query?query=SELECT+NodeID,Comments+FROM Orion.NodesCustomProperties  WHERE NodeID = 469

 

my results are:

Content-Length: 51

Content-Type: application/json

Date: Fri, 06 Dec 2013 18:45:30 GMT

Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/1.0

{

  "results": [

    {

      "NodeID": 469,

      "Comments": "Change Me"

    }

  ]

}

 

I just need to find the correct Action string to update the Comments field.

Anyone know the correct query ?

 

Thanks,

Richard

Is it possible to create a new (virtual) node based on a node group?

$

Is it possible to create a (virtual) node based on a node group?

The idea being to create a group of real nodes with a common property, such as physical location, and to have a virtual node representative of the entire site that one could add to the All Nodes - Tree. At the moment, node groups cannot be added to the All Nodes - Tree.

The individual nodes within the virtual node would act similarly to the interfaces in a real node. If one or several individual nodes in the group went down, the virtual would turn yellow. If they all went down, the virtual would turn red, etc.

 

Thanks -Rob-

Is your UDT polling broken?

$
0
0

If you have UDT installed it's very hard to tell if your installation is actually broken -- there is no common reporting of the status of jobs.

I've written a health-check type report for the UDT polling jobs: UDT Job Status report by polling engine and also UDT-poller.AlertDefinition

 

This will allow you either check the actual number of successful or failed jobs, or raise an alert if the poller is failing to gather data.

I'd really like to set div.calendarContainer to be 98% or 99% instead of 85%.  Is this possible, and if so, whats the quickest way to accomplish it?

Shhh!  Else everyone will want one!

 

Unfortunately, you can't make rules or filters off the raw data.  You can search it in the Explore tab.  If we prove the data is coming in though, we might be able to get the connector updated to allow what you're looking for.

Here's a quick and dirty C# client that does queries. Hopefully that will be enough to get you started.

ok, apparently I can edit it in webhelpdesk/bin/webapps/helpdesk/css/whdStyles.css  but I imagine that will get overwritten in an update.  Is there a more appropriate way to do this?
