Help Files

gbockelmann

Is there anyway to get local help files for Orion? The network I'm monitoring is a "closed" network with no access to the internet.

Greg,

The only thing I can think of is possibly editing your local host file, adding the line help.web.server.ipAddress solarwinds.net to your local client. Hosts is found in the windows\system32\drivers\etc folder on most computers.

You would then need to create a default redirect on your local webserver to point to the help folder. I would not suggest this unless you are very comfortable with IIS, as Orion might be your default web page on your web server. If that is the case, all this will do is make calls to solarwinds.net go to your Orion login.

If you were to create a new website for only the help, you could use that site's IP address in your client host file for solarwind.net.

I'm afraid I can't guarantee any of this... but, I hope that helps a bit...

Unfortunately not at this time.

Is it possible to download the web based help files to use on my local IIS?

I don't believe so- I will verify this and provide an update-

According to the Orion Administrators Guide on Page 131:

NPM Web Settings The following options may be configured from the NPM Web Settings page:

• Help Server is the URL of the server where online help for Orion NPM is stored.

Therefore, you should be able to store the help files locally on your Orion server in the InetPub directory.

This board should be call "whacked" - you can't even post quotes or Web links anymore.... :-(
