For those who already downloaded NPM 10.6 RC, there is another small HW health tweak we introduced:
Ignoring sensors without name
- Some sensors might be recognized during polling, but these sensors do not have a name assigned (by the device). You can spot them in NPM with generic name like "Sensor <NUMBER>". These sensors are from NPM 10.6.1 ignored by default. If you want to get them back change setting for it according following specs:
Config file:
- c:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\HardwareHealth\SolarWinds.HardwareHealth.Pollers.dll.config
- Locate <appSettings> section within the file and configure IgnoreCiscoSensorsWithoutName
- Ignore sensors without name (default):
- <add key="IgnoreCiscoSensorsWithoutName" value="true"/>
- Poll all sensors (even without name):
- IgnoreCiscoSensorsWithoutName" value="false"/>
- Restart services to make the change take effect.
This doesn't mean we are not working on better per-sensor management. It's just a small improvement we wanted to deliver right now to help you fight with bad sensor data or statuses reported by some of your devices.
thanks,
Michal
