I am trying to setup credentials to scan my VMware environment.  My environment consists of the vCenter appliance and 6 hosts all running 6.5 Update 1.

 

When I go to setup the credentials for the scan I am prompted with a window that asks for:

 

Name:

User Name:

Password:

 

I have tried root along with an IP of one of my hosts, that does not work.

 

I have tried my domain admin account and the local admin account to the vCenter server and that does not work.

 

What credential does it need?  I am running NTM version 2.2.2.701.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I am new to NTM. All the initial scans I have produced have Desktop PCs showing just a plane ICMP ICON. I can't see how to make the ICON show a PC. It would be even better if it showed the type and model of PC. Is NTM capable of this?

We  are using NTM to grab the topology of several networks.   On domain networks, WMI works great - we give it a common user and password and NTM gives us all of the inf we need from the scan.   However, most of our networks are non - domained.  Just a ton of local account computers on a common subnet.  When we try to put in a common account and password in WMI - no matter how we enter the creds - it does not work.  Is there any way to command line something in the tool that would be similar to %computername% so that we can automatically grab the local computer name and have that populate the username.   We tried *. and the above windows shell %computername% - nothing works.   So all of the scans on non domained networks are coming back with just the IP and no other relevant info.

Hello

 

I am requesting your help because I do not know how to import stencils into Network Topoly Mapper.

 

The only stencils I found are .vss and I cannot import them.

 

Is there any means or it is not possible (only possible to import them into "Network Atlas" ?

 

In advance, I thank you for your help.

We've recently purchased and installed a suite of Orion products including NPM, SAM, NCM, Netowrk Topology Mapper (a few others as well).  My issue is specifically with mapping VPN links in Network Atlas (or Network Topology Mapper).  According to the SW rep I spoke with, both NTM and Network Atlas use the CDP talbe and MAC table to identify links between nodes.  Well, we have about 20+ branch offices that all use IPSEC over VTI tunnels (Virtual Tunnel Interfaces) to connect back to HQ.  These tunnels do not support CDP and do not have MACs assigned to them, and consequently, the VPN links between a branch office and HQ are never detected in Network Atlas.    We run EIGRP between branch and HQ equipment, so I was thinking it might be possible to draw the link based on the EIGRP neighborship table.

 

I know that I'm not the first person to try and map VPN connections between devices, so I'm wondering what other people have done to solve this problem.  How do you map VPN links in Network Atlas or Netowrk Topology Mapper?

networI have been fighting with Atlas trying to import an exported NTM map. The export is fine but when I startup Network Atlas it crashes. "Error" Network Atlas has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please contact SolarWinds support about this problem.

 

I have tried coping the file from the file server to the orion server where I am running Atlas and same issue.

 

I will paste the log file here of the error..

Now the only thing that I can think of is that NTM is not exporting the map or I need to rename the file so Atlas is able to use it. The current extension on the file is map.ntmmap with a file size of 402kb

i have reviewed the minimum requirements for NTM in the Install and Admin. Guides.

 

What I need is real world Best Practice system requirements for using NTM and taking the maps and importing them into a separate Orion server.

 

CPU 1- 2

Speed:

RAM:

C: Drive:

Data Drive:

 

NIC’s:

 

Will accept URL,

Blog

etc.

 

Large Global Network environment, multiple subnets, vLAN’s, etc.

 

I have also opened a support case, but was hoping my fellow Thwackers might be able to help me find the right answers more quickly!

 

Thank you in advance, ThwackStars!

 

Additionally, I saw a thread on NTM vs. UDT (User Device Tracker) for monitoring changes to network devices, or to work with Splunk, others?  Thoughts, opinions, real world advice?  And any experience getting data into SIEM?

Hi, Are there any plans to integrate/import data from other tools like Netbrain ?  Netbrain does a much better job of discovering

topology across multiple platforms. NTM will never be as good as it does not login to the network devices and SNMP info is limited.

 

Iam trying to create global network dashboards but NTM does not discover some device ( Paloaltonetworks L2/L3 ) connectivity

which makes it pretty basic. Why not integrate with Netbrain fo customer can get the best of both worlds and get Netbrain data for Topology

and use NPM for monitoring. Better yet, Merge or Acquire ?

Hi I'm trying to create a map to show the relationship between some switches on a remote site and the WAPs connected to those switches. I've added all the switches and access points mapped to Solarwinds but when I click on the connect now button it only connects the switches together. It also misses the Unknown MPLS device despite having the include unidentified nodes button enabled. If I do a show cdp neighbors then it lists the inter-switch connections, the link to the access points and names the MPLS device. So what is Network Atlas using and what do I need to do to get the links to the WAPs showing correctly ?

l have been tasked with creating a Solarwinds Network Map for a particular set of nodes.l need to show connection speeds between the nodes, The speed connection line should change colour to raise an alarm if a certain bandwidth utilisation is reached...green line if the lines is 70% or less, yellow line if the line is between 71% and 90%, red if the line is between 91% and 100 %.At the moment l have only network atlas which comes with default Solarwinds installation.Will Solarwinds NTM help me here ?

Hi All,

 

I have NTM installed and able to scan and and map.

 

I have a good number of MAC desktops, OS x 10.8.5.x that I would like to capture via SNMP as I will also be using Engineer Tools Set to monitor as well.

 

Can someone let me know the steps to turn on snmp on the local MAC pc's to get SNMP turned on.

 

Thank You
