Our Solarwinds admin guy said he can't set up rules unless a sample event is sent to solarwinds.<br />
<br />
We have about 70 events from an app : so far the apps team only could get someone to login/logoff<br />
to simulate once such event but for the other 69 events, need to do reboot etc which they can't<br />
unless there's downtime.<br />
<br />
Attached is the full list of snmp events our apps team gave to me.<br />
<br />
I'm wondering :<br />
<br />
a) what exactly our solarwinds admin is expecting or hinders him from creating rules? &nbsp;He's<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; elusive &amp;&nbsp;extremely busy (ie no time to show me)<br />
<br />
b) are there free tools like snmpwalk etc which I could trigger sample events?<br />
<br />
I'm sure Cisco devices &amp;&nbsp;Windows events which are currently sent to the solarwinds will <br />
go through the same process to be monitored but really doubt the network chaps will<br />
send the 100+ Cisco event types to Solarwinds for them to be monitored.<br />

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

Network Management

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.
