For anyone who is still having problems with the syslog message chart,... Gob has just sent me a new CHART file and it works great. It should be in the Share zone. The file is called Syslog-NetPerfMon 21.08.zip. Thanks GOB!!!!

Thats for all your help! The advanced syslog parser is one of the finest pieces created by an Orion user. I was able to remove "nodes.access" from all the files and everything is working great! Except for the chart, ofcourse. I have set the permissions up, but it still get a website error. Like it was mentioned on this…

Wow,.. thanks a million qle. the Center tag worked great!! This little project is now complete. Ive attampted to upload a sceen of my new login page. Its a bit rough around the edges, but my building block is in place and I couldnt have done it with out your help. Thanks QLE!!! 

Boy,.. im begining to think I am highjacking this thread. Anyway, I have this new view working and am in awe of GOBs custom works. They are great! Everything is working great except for 2 issues. I can not get the chart to work,.. the CRC on the file that I downloaded today is differant than the CRC that GOB says is…

In the immortal words of Sheryl Broflowski (Kyle's mom) Wha wha what?!?!? SP2 is out?! Saaa-weet!

Thanks Mark. Worked perfect! I did not see anything related to this in any of the product documentation. I cannnot be the only one who relies on custom properties to filter thier reports. Perhaps a readme should be put out? Or even better, perhaps this process should be automated during the upgrade. Thanks agani Mark, you…

qle, Thanks for all your help!! I followed your sugestion and I still go the red x. however,.. I tried to put in another image in its place,. a gif, and it worked. So I then saved my state seal as a gif, and now it works great! THANKS!!!! One other very very minor thing. Im really nitpicking here, so I dont expect any…

I have downloaded syslog_parser-1.0.1_d.zip several times. The CRC on the Chart file is still 3B8618B4. Any one else not able to see this new CRC value?

Chalk me up as a user who's UnDP takes what seems like 15 minutes to load. Then once it loads, it is beyond sluggish. I'll click on somehting, go take a smoke break, and when I come back, MAYBE my click has finally been processed. UnDP seems like a great idea, but if SW cant spped it up, I may have to jump back to 8.5.1.…

With all due respect, "its a bug" is an extremly lame response. What seems to happen is, after upgrading to 9.0, the report writer losing its ability to filter on Custom Properties. This SUCKS for a million reasons! We have about 50 or so reports that are dependant on custom properties. Now none of them work. Invalid…

Well,.. I must admit,.. you are leading me in the right direction. I put our state seal (StateSeal.jpg) in the \Inetpub\SolarWinds\NetPerfMon\images folder. I then went into the web console settings and set it to <img src="NetPerfMon/images/StateSeal.jpg"> (I have ZERO HTML experience). I then logged out of Orion and at…

Yes,.. I have no trouble replacing any of Solarwinds images with my own. (Headers, logos, etc.) I am refering to under the login prompt. If you go to Admin - Web console settings,.. you will see "Site Login Text" - This text will be displayed on the login page where it will be seen by all users. HTML tags are allowed. I…

I absolutely agree with the other commenters here. Who is the world is going to monitor 5000 netflow sources?!?! 

 I thought he was talking about the new Login Text that appears under the Login fields. That's what won't accept jpeg. This is exactly what I am refering to. Under the login prompts, Orion v9 allows a block of text or HTML. I would like to put up our State Seal (we are a goverment agency). Just wondering if there was a way…

Carmelo, unless I am missing something, this should be extremly easy to set up. The report: Open a new Current status of Nodes report Select fields- node name sort ascending, IP Address, Status (found under custom poller) Filter - only records where Custom POller Name is equal to (what ever you SN poller is named) Show all…

Sav, I appreciate your suggestions and have been thinking of switching over to a table. However, the upper level mnmgt would really like a Fahrenhiet (sp?) display of the ambient chasis temp on the routers. Here's to hoping SolarWinds will atleast acknowledge this "bug" (I dont know if its a bug as much as it is bad…

Yes, and we do use this command. "Logging source interface VLAN1" which is the 172.x.x.x IP. Traps come from its 10.x.x.x IP. I suppose I could do "logging source-interface Gi0/0" which is the 10.x.x.x IP, but we have other syslog servers recieving syslog from VLAN1 (CiscoMARS, LogLogic, etc.) I suppose I will approach…

My suggestion applies to NPM 9.0 SP2. I should have included that in my previous post. Here is a silly question. If you open your syslog viewer, do you have events there? Are you pointing your devices towards Orion regarding syslog. For cisco gear, this command would be "logging source interface XXX" where xxx is interface…

I run into that problem all the time with server interfaces suddenly becoming "unknown". I have 2 easy ways that I deal with it. First is to go into the system manager and find the node, right click on it, and do a list resources. Sometimes the unknow interfaces are gone and the new interface is available in the listed…

I am also having trouble with RTCD. I had it working for about a week, but now I get no email when I make a config change. We are 100% cisco. I am also setting this up based off of snmp traps, not syslog. I had it working by setting up my trap rule according to a suggestion from a thwck user in another forum regarding the…

I can get the new resource to display, however, when editing the resource, I noticed only 2 of my pollers were available in the drop down. I have about 15 custom pollers running on all sorts of equipment. APCs, Cisco, Windows, etc. The only pollers I see present in the drop down are 1 Cisco Firewall poller (current…

If you are assigning a new IP to your Orion server, I imagine you will have to do some config changes on your switches and routers. if your using Cisco Switches and RTRs, you probably have something like this in their configs: snmp-server host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx community string. Where xxx.xxx.xxx is Orions current IP. Simple…

Thanks for the advice. I did not notice anywhere to run a repair. After installing 9, The server reboots, and goes directly into the configuration wizard. Normally, when running the config wizard, you get the option of "repair" and you can choose website, database, etc. After installing 9, I no longer have that option. The…

Thanks for the tip! I had opened a ticket and support seems to really be pushing users to upgrade to 9.0 Usually when opening a ticket, weeks, if not months go by with no progress. I opened this ticket and a tech called me within 5 minutes asking to set up a gotomeeting.

Thanks for the tips!!! I copied the URL from my preview page, and pasted it into a custom menu bar and it now displays properly. It does not seem to be incimenting though. Everything is still all zeros, and we have had lots of syslog events in the meantime. The chart is still an issue. I just downloaded your custom piece…

Now that there are posts for V6 7, 8 & 9 in the forums, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find info relevant to the version you are using Excellent Point NG. I was a little trigger happy with my post. I agree that the forum should be broken up by version. I dont know how many thimes I thought I found a resolution to…

Once again, If only report writer could parse the netflow data the same way the website does. I can pull up my top convos, apps, transmitters, and recievers for a given netflow source in seconds on the website. i DARE you to create that report in report writer. You cant, its impossible. Yes, we can grab the website URL and…

Excellent news Nick!! Thanks for the clarification. Cirrus users can breathe a sigh of relief. 

Does anyone at SolarWinds know if this is going to be addressed in future releases? As it is now, any top ten resource that may have single to double digit values, or double and triple digit values, is pretty much worthless. If I have a router running at 109 degrees F, I would want that to be listed before my routers that…

I noticed this as well, and edited the new Orion logo with paint and put my companys name in place. Looks great! I have a question though. I noticed in version 9 you can put in a wall of text of HTML under the login screen. i would like to put a big complany logo there. Any suggestions? When editing the web console…
