I thought it would be worth sharing. Function Decode(strB64) strXML = “<B64DECODE xmlns:dt=” & Chr(34) & _ “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes” [...]

I had previously described a few example scenarios in which monitoring SNMP values for changes (from the values in previous polling cycles) could be useful. In this post, I will describe the steps to configure monitoring for these scenarios in SolarWinds ORION NPM. Detecting changes in Checkpoint Firewall (Splat) High Availability State The checkpoint mib [...]
