One of my external nodes with a dynamic IP went down. Only it didn't - its IP address changed, and Solarwinds didn't refresh it despite it being supposedly "dynamic". Attempts to refresh that IP address manually fail so far. E.g. I unchecked "Dynamic IP Address", clear the "Polling IP Address" field, re-check "Dynamic",…
I need some help monitoring a node using DDNS. We are running Orion Network Performance Monitor 9.5 SP4. The node I am trying to monitor is a Cisco 2821 using a 3G WIC. The main problem of course is every time the IP address changes Orion NPM doesn't see the change so it shows it down. I have the Dynamic IP Address box…
As I understand it, the tick-box for Dynamic IP Address on NPM's Edit Properties page allows each test to be performed with a fresh DNS lookup and when the target host or site is behind a load balancer, security obfuscator or hidden away in the cloud this is exactly what is required. I've had instances when the fresh…
I'm using the dynamic IP option in Orion but I've run into an issue. We've moved a few servers around that had DynamicIP enabled but the poller is not able to see them. Pinging from the poller with the friendly name results in the old IP showing with no response. Pinging with the FQDN shows the new IP assigned to the…
What am I doing wrong? I have a user link setup with https://full server name removed/Orion/IPAM/IP.Edit.asp?ip="${Node.IP_Address}"&RefUrl=IPAddressDetail It will work if I hard-code in the IP address, but I can't get it to resolve the variable. Help please.
Lets say, if adding 200 nodes, all Dynamic......how is Network Discovery useful when you have to Edit each node after they've been added?
I have a few workers who work from home and we have sent them Cisco 857s and we have them up and on an IPSec VPN back to HQ. I set up these sites to be monitored in Orion (we just recently installed Orion 9.1.0) and I'm having some problems with monitoring these sites since they have a dynamic IP from the LEC. I've got it…
Confused.... I added a node as a dynamic IP address and used the FQDN and it worked. I was able to poll it and get SNMP off of it. When they rolled the node and the IP address changed it showed down in Orion. I opened up system manager and looked and it still had the old IP (greyed out) so I tried to poll it - no go. I…
We have a few machines registered on orion that are set to use dynamic IP address's. However when these machines are off, and occasionally when they are on Orion Continuously Logs ip address changes every minute. IP address of xxx changed from Unknown to 192.168.1.4 IP address of xxx changed from 192.168.1.4 to Unknown. I…
To set the stage, my company is a call center which has a Cisco infrastructure with an Avaya phone system. I have been building our monitoring solution with Orion, which is going great for the network side of things. We were about to setup the Avaya Converged Network Analyzer (CNA) to monitor the VOIP side of things,…
