  • New challenge! Is it possible to pull data for multiple custom MIB pollers into a single message? Specifically, I want to show the current power state, battery % remaining, and time remaining when a UPS is on battery. Something like: IDF a3b31 is onBattery(3) - 1:23:00 (86%) Remaining The problem is, the only variable…

  • Is there a page that covers ongoing maintenance? I have * Engineers Edition $1400 * Orion SLX $21000 * NetFlow SLX $15000 * Wireless $2500 * Application $1500 * Cirrus DL200 $3500 * VoIP $10000 * * $54900 What is the annual maintenance going to be for each of these?

  • I wound up using SQL to pull the data from the Nodes table... ${SQL: Select Closet FROM Nodes WHERE NodeID = ${Node.NodeID}} Then after reading your post, I tried: ${Node.Closet} Both have the same result. Nothing like reinventing the wheel!

  • Orion/NetFlow/VoIP? Please explain. Pricing isn't on the site yet, and I haven't been sold that concept in the past. There is a suite coming? If I pay $15k for NetFlow, is VoIP going to be included when it's available? Do you have target pricing if that's not the case? I will have at least 20 WAN sites to monitor when the…

  • Can you post your working SQL? I'm having the same issue, and I want to stick with advanced alerts.

  • I have Orion SLX, Cirrus DL200, Wireless, toolkit, and we’re looking at NetFlow. I’m in a Cisco house, and I want to monitor a total of 4 flows! Come on guys, I understand your pricing model. But I already had to sit through one meeting with my director and explain why maintenance doubled. Now I have to explain that the…

  • While you are working on this, what is your recommended temporary fix? I am getting the same error...

  • That's odd... Other 866 numbers work from here.
    in SW Phones down? Comment by AaronK April 2007
  • I just had this exact issue... SW tier 3 said to remove and reinstall all SW software on the server. Sux I know. Make sure you back up your reports and maps folders, and the website under InetPub. I had to remove all of the software, delete the entire solarwinds.net tree from HKLM/Software in the registry, and then…
    in Custom Pollers Crash Report Writer and Sys Mgr Comment by AaronK May 2007
  • I second this. I want my UPS "Output Status" alert email (page) to look like this: Trigger when ALL: When Custom Poller Name Equals "UPS Output Status" When Custom Poller Status Contains "onBattery(3)" Alert email message In variable notation: IDF ${Node.Closet} is ${CustomPollerStatus.Status} - ${TimeRemaining Custom…

  • I just went through this, and it's pretty easy. 1) Build your new DB server 2) Copy your existing NetPerfMon DB to the new server (You have to stop the v7 engine while you do the copy) 3) Build your new Orion server 4) Install Orion v8 as directed. When the configuration wizard asks for the database server, point it to…

  • I'm using many custom pollers, each assigned to 37 UPSs concurrently. I have not had any issues at all.
