You may want to increase the time interval between when a node goes into warning and when it is considered down. In the NPM System Manger, under Advanced Settings, you will find a Node Warning Interval Tab. If you increase time, the node will have to miss more PINGS before it is condered down. Also, since you are PINGing…

To change the data sent in Ping Sweep, add a registry key called ICMP Data of type string to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolarWinds.Net\Ping Sweep\Settings The value of the string is what will be using in the ping packet instead of the application version information. Sample RegFile... Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00…

You could purchase a copy of the Orion Web Only install for your remote server. This would let you setup a second IIS server on a different box. The second server would not need to be part of your AD, and would only need to access the SQL server. You could then create Orion accounts with limited views for the users that…

You might look at use the Excel Add in. This is an unsupported tool that you can download from support.solarwinds.net/.../Unsupported.cfm It would let you create an Excel Spreadsheet where a column had the IP address of the devices you wanted, and the next column had the OID of the value you wanted across all the devices.…

Initally when you add an interface to NPM, the program reads the bandwidth from the ifSpeed value in the SNMP interface table. So if the device does not report a correct speed, or it has been set to a lower value for routing protocol weighting, NPM will get the wrong value. Kind of a garbage in, garbage out problem. As the…

Sorry 2^16 instead of 2^32 BK Nobody Special

Yes there is a limit. TFTP sends data in 512 bytes blocks. Each block has a block number which is a 16 bit field. 512 bytes times 2^32 blocks = 32MByes. BK Nobody Special

Yep, Part of the SNMP packet is a RequestID so the Response can be matched up with the request if the source IP of the reply is different from the destination IP address of the request. BK Nobody Special

In theory it could be done, but you need to have some SQL experince to make it work. The first problem you would run into would be the Node, Interface, and VolumeIDs. When you add a node to the Orion system, Orion lets the Database Server pick the next Identity number to represent that device. Be default, this "Identity"…

Just checking here, because I am not sure if you already know this... On the Last XX Syslog Messages Web Resource you can configure a view filter by clicking on the "Edit Resource" Icon, on the upper right part of the title bar on the resource. On the Filter, you could then specify Message NOT LIKE '*[Dd]eny*' as the…

Hey Bryan, The magic character you are needing is ! Just change the search message pattern to !*[Dd]eny* That will list all messages that do NOT contain Deny or deny I am not sure if you are using the Syslog Viewer application or the web site. The search critiera listed above will work with either. If you are using the…

The bad news is there is no standard MIB for port duplex. The even worse news is the private MIB location for duplex changes not only with every vendor, it changes across the different switch models as well. The Switch Port Mapper in the Beta tools checks a few more private MIB locations. You might give it a try and see if…

Yes it can, but it probably won't work. Maybe you could ask the infrastructure team to allow "directed broadcasts"? Normally these are allowed, but some infrastructure people have started turning them off to prevent a DOS attacks by spoofing a broadcast ping. Directed broadcasts are a problem on the Internet, but on an…

Just open the Orion System Manager, then click on the settings button on the toolbar, select the database tab, and on the Statistics Summarization, you can change the Hour Statistics Will Be Summerized slider. BK Nobody Special

Yes Orion supports up down with ICMP Only. When you add the Node, just check the box at the bottom of the Add Node form next to the text "Node does not support SNMP" BK Nobody Special
