The spaces are due to the parsing I believe due to a pager 24 command, it should be possible to run a no pager 24 command before your downloads occur....I know this due to a MARS unit stripping that command out so it can grab the entire config without spaces. You could set another schedule task to put the pager 24 back in…

 Website losses access to the sql, services stay running, event logs in the solarwinds.net section stating that it can no longer reach the sql server. Unable to open the system manager, however I can open the database manager and look at any of the tables.

I have had no reply via phone or email. Now I can not verify if the email did not go to my boss.

Thanks brett.holzhauer​

thegreateebzies​ its odd I had to close Chrome yesterday and opening it this morning to provide you with the information; everything looks to be fixed. I've closed chrome in the past (especially when I first noticed the issue).....so I'm not sure what may have resolved this; however to answer your question for future…

One of our network engineers mentioned this as well... ---- One other request that comes up every once in a while is “How long has a specific port been in the unused state?” We would need syslog history to get that type of information directly from the switch, but if Cirrus can supply the date when a port last reported a…

I looked at that and only see that it does current alerts, I need a history for the alerts.

 Are you using SNMP Process Monitors? There is a memory leak in the SNMP Process Monitor. When you restart the Job Engine service it frees up the memory. This memory leak is scheduled to be fixed in a Service Pack. This was the issue, I removed all snmp process monitoring and didn't have any issues over the weekend. WMI…

If you have the devices sending syslog or traps to Orion, you could always take a shortcut and just set it to alert you from one of those collectors.

If the user has an account in the admin portions of SolarWinds you will see who ack'ed the alert and a timestamp. If you have a domain/everyone setup and you don't have people specified you will only see a "everyone" user ack'ing the alert.

Have the alert service allowed to interact with the desktop? 

Are the ESX servers connected to a SAN? 

The Cirrus "inventory" feautre does this for you automatically, I have set my Cirrus up to update a static web page on the Orion server for inventory people to look up the serial numbers themselves and leave me alone. 

Perhaps having the ability to tell when its running low on toner would be a good one? Not really sure how good printer SNMP is for MIBs/OIDs

Meeting Place servers, we added a 2nd processor and ram to have additional features.

Delete the following folders if they exist: C:\Inetpub\SolarWinds C:\Program Files\Solarwinds

I had this same problem, except that my mem usage is 500+%, I couldn't figure out how to filter out by hostname....so I got pissy and made a custom node property and put 'notnotes' next to all the servers that I did not want filtered. And bam no more skewing of my Top 10 page.

To my knowledge you have to find the device(s) that use that password to get rid of them. 

You could set the alert to only check the alert req. every 10 mins or so...would vary depending on how long a server took to reboot.

I restrict my users by custom departments and top 10, home all show only their devices....adv syslog parser shows all, but if a user tries to click on something they don't have rights too they get an error. 

Enter in custom properties on the WAN interfaces and specify in your alert to not account for those interfaces in your alerts. 

Did you change the drop down above where you specify critea for the alert? Also get rid of the NodeName and FuleName parts and see what that does, Orion should alert for all drives unless you specify a certain group of them, with that * I am thinking Orion is looking for a NodeName of * not a wildcard.

I have dhcp conflicts setup from Cisco syslog messages (DHCP on 3560s) *DHCP address conflict* that is the syslog message pattern that alerts us if the same conflict happens twice in the same hour.

do you have "ip route-cache flow" on the interface vlans? 

 There is a pre-made report that will tell you what interfaces are down and how long they have been down, with some slight report modification for specific switches or a certain date for interface down times. This has helped me remove at least 150 cables from patch panel to stacked switches. For outage durations there is a…

 How are you sending alerts out? I know that when you set it for smtp and your smtp server is being stupid, it can store/hold your alerts and send them at all weird hours, I was getting alerts for config changes at 2 in the morning when they happened the previous day during working hours.
