@@80andybrown80 Thank you! Totally agree - it's also useful to log to splunk or another SIEM. From my end, I just wish the product was a bit better

Yes. It's part of SAM (Server and Application Monitoring).

If you are local to Phoenix let me know via DM

Chances are your node was discovered by ICMP instead of SNMP. ICMP or ping only will only tell you if the device is up or down. You will want to use SNMP in order to get device statistics like the make, model, serial number, CPU, memory and disk or flash information.

I did try to discover by SNMP but still the cisco AP is no where to be found. i dont know what to do.

@@tsegazeabfantu5795 did you configure your WAPs SNMP settings and supply those values to Solarwinds for the discovery?

Thanks, Phil!

I guess where I'm confused is....traps are not polled they are sent to a trap receiver, aka SolarWinds Main Polling Engine for example.

@@TheVANS420 the configuration for traps will be different on every device. On the QNAP I was testing with, all I had to do was specify the IP address of my Solarwinds server. That should be the same on nearly any service

Yes. Use an app password, that works perfectly for me with Outlook.com

Thanks @joseallego03! To configure an OSPF Neighbor Change Alert, it will be a few steps to make that happen. The first thing you'll need to make sure happens is that it is being logged to the router. Once you've determined that, you can setup a syslog rule that watches for that event pattern. I use BGP for my routing protocol, but the condition of my alert is as follows: IF Message Contains %BGP-5-ADJCHANGE AND Vendor Is Equal To Cisco Your message type might be %OSPF-#-ADJCHANGE, but your router logs will tell you for sure what the pattern is. Once you are collecting that information, you can setup an alert as you would normally to capture that event and process in the manner you prefer (alert, email, escalation, etc). Hope this helps!

​@@itopsguy3050 Yes, it helps! Thanks a lot

@pahadirahi - That's a great idea. I'll have to re-build my environment to do it. Unfortunately, Solarwinds only gives you a 30 day trial. I might be able to leverage my professional relationship with them to get an extended trial - let me check with them and see what they can do for me.

@@itopsguy3050 thanks 🙏

@pahadirahi - Sorry this comment is so late. There can be several reasons for WMI failures - as you mentioned, you did a wbemtest and everything looks good - have you looked at the Solarwinds logs to help isolate the trouble?

@@itopsguy3050 it's resolved now.. it was IP issue

@@pahadirahi great job troubleshooting! There will be more things like that with Solarwinds. You'll become a Wireshark and netstat genius trying to get some of Solarwinds working - you'll always find environmental quirks. Great job!

Yes. Solarwinds does have an API. Thwack is a great SW community with plenty of how-to articles and documentation. Check out this link: thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/orion-sdk/46218/solarwinds-rest-api-complete-documentation
