CBQoS issues list

CBQoS not running on the device

Use SolarWinds MIB Viewer to check the status of CBQoS on your device.

Support is determined by cbQosConfigIndex="1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.5.1.1.2"

If you see any value in your MIB viewer for this OID, then CBQoS data is being successfully pulled.

SolarWinds services not running

Make sure all SolarWinds services are running:

  1. Start the SolarWinds Platform Service Manager in the SolarWinds Platform program folder.
  2. If some SolarWinds services are not running, click Start Everything.

In particular, the SolarWinds Platform Module Engine service enables polling of CBQoS. The SolarWinds NetFlow service takes the data the SolarWinds Platform poller obtains from the device through SNMP and writes it into the NetFlow database table. If this service is not working, polled CBQoS data sits in a queue and eventually gets dropped.
