I'm looking for a copy of Solarwinds signal quality monitor. I've gone to the web site, but don't see it anywhere.
if you've got a link or the program, please post
If you're looking for what once was called "Broadband Performance Monitor", an add-on module to their flagship program Orion NPM, that was killed off sometime in 2006.
I still run it here, and I've been warned by Solarwinds there is no support available.
there's a section where you can monitor your upstream snr and it sends off an alarm when it's low.
even the virtual upstream ports, but it doesn't give any values. I believe it did before when docsis 2.0 was not configured, but now it just site there and doesn't give any values. I know the snmp strings are good, seen that from a debug done on the cmts.
so my thought is the program is so old (believe it's 2002 version) that it doesn't know to read the data or the snmp string to do the get for the info may have changed, but there is no option to use a given OID to get the data.
so the question I have is can you see the upstream snr, including the virtual ports in the cable monitor section, I believe. and are you running docsis 2.0 with virtual ports as well? my thought is it's old software and needs to be upgraded. if it works in a newer version, then it's just a case of upgrade what you have, but if it's working with the older version and I missed something, then I want to find out what it is so I can get it working
thank you in advance for your reply
I got confused with details, sorry about that. NPM *I believe* is capable of monitoring the SNMP trap output of any CMTS, and doesn't require the old Broadband Performance Monitor (BPM) add-in to do that. BPM was for monitoring the cable modems attached to the CMTS, keeping stats down to the individual user devices behind the modem(s). The nice thing about the latest version of NPM is it accepts updates to the MIBs being monitored, something NPM V7 was unable to do.

DO you have the setup or install?
I've still got the installers, but the challenge-reply license sequence during setup makes them useless. :(

The Solarwinds program you seek is the Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM).
