Great summary from a great event! Glad to see Phoenix and Singapore on the calendar now too! #SWUGISBACK!

Hi rschroeder! Loop1 is one of the companies Dez is referring to. We staff more than 50 full-time employees dedicated to providing SolarWinds services, training and advanced customizations world-wide. We offer everything from a simple health check to a multi-week on-site engagements. We also offer remote engagements via…

Another great article Leon. I’m also a big fan of Spain. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit both Barcelna and Seville and can’t wait to go back!

Congratulations on your awards Marc! Your outstanding effort is the epitome of "leading by example" - or should I say "replying by example"? :^) We are proud to count you as a member of the Loop1 team!

Once again you have eloquently demonstrated why I love listening to you speak, and reading what you write. Well done Mr. Adato. Excelsior!

Hello mikegale, In the WAN scenario you will need to apply a persistent static route via the command prompt using the 'route' command. You will apply the static route on both the primary and secondary FoE servers, pointing to each other. On Windows Server 2008, use the ROUTE ADD command from the command line as shown below…

Hi Doug, I have this exact same issue. I have confirmed that it is a local issue. -Trusted works fine when connecting remotely, but not with localhost, local IP or fqdn of the local machine.

Hi Denny, I ran into this issue today where a client wanted to see status of the node and/or group based on a disk space status. The script below was a bit more than they wanted to have to maintain though. Are there any new developments here we should be aware of? I tried adding the volumes to a group and also check to see…

Hi cmga, I ran into this same issue today. From what I could determine the issue lies in the APM_DailyApplicationAvailability View in the DB where all of the rows contain a TimeStamp with the same value for Hour of Day. I was able to use the following modification of the query to use the APM_ApplicationAvailability view to…

Thanks Lasher. Jimmy, hopefully that helps give you what you'd like for your console. Don't feel bad asking questions, that's what thwack is here for! :^)

Hi Denny, I know you have this on your radar already, I just wanted to chime in and say I hit this request twice already this week with Loop 1 clients. One is an SLX with 5 pollers, the other is an international distribution of 3 NPM sites plus EOC. Thanks!

Another vote for this feature, ran into it today with a client.

Hi Jimmy, If I understand your question correctly you are referring to adjusting the vertical spacing to create horizontal alignment. I think Jason was referring to the column widths. Have you looked at the white space resource under miscellaneous resources? It should allow you to insert a blank space to compensate for…

Hi Chris, Yes, they do have APM and I should have mentioned we did install the RC for that as well, but the issue was still occurring. We've since wrapped up the engagement so they will simply open a ticket if it continues to be an issue. Again, it wasn't preventing them from using the product, just hampering performance…

The simplest process is to build a report that lists the nodes you would like to discover in the new system, and then export those nodes either from report writer or from the web console. To export any report from the web console you can add &DataFormat=xls to the end of the URL for the report. (other supported formats for…

Thanks for the write up Don, I am positive it will prove useful for other users out here on thwack. Is the 15 hour delay possibly related to the Orion Database Maintenance Cycle completing successfully? -Bill

Hello Lukas, I encountered a need for this today as well with our client. Any update on the ability to pass the password from the credentials db as well as the username? Thanks, Bill Fitzpatrick Loop1 Systems

This thread is such a great example of the power of thwack and the critical value community feedback represents. At a minimum it's clear, there is no "one size fits all" solution where certifications are concerned. SolarWinds is working to drive value into the SCP credentials, and that's a good thing! For years we've…

Hello jqualls, This all looks correct to me with one minor edit. The port 161 is UDP for SNMP. I do think the agent (TCP 17777,17778) will be a better solution long term though, it will allow far more data types to be collected on Windows than SNMP will. The agent install will be easiest if you can copy the installer to…

Denny, Can you confirm this is still the case regarding the Hot Standby and Additional Web Server cannot be installed to the same server? Thanks, Bill

Good Afternoon Maria, The training Ed is referring to is one of four instructor led courses we offer at Loop1. The Loop1 Orion Core 101 course is five days and covers all the features and functionality for the following products; Network Performance Monitor NPM Network Traffic Analyzer NTA Network Configuration Manager NCM…

Thanks Jennifer for the reminder! For those of you that participated or have watched the webinar, there is a step in the Web Based Custom SQL report where you can format the columns to include the icons that are a part of the SQL query. For the Vendor there is a built in drop down to select, but this isn't true for the…

Hi Deleonne, A detailed thread on how Orion detects a reboot can be found here . I think in the case of your AS400 SNMP daemon the uptime value may not be reported, so if the reboot occurs in a span shorter than your configured polling interval Orion may fail to detect that the node went offline and came back up before…

Hi JSpanitz, I understand it can be frustrating sometimes trying to find the bits you really care about among the mountain of data that netflow puts in front of you. The specific challenge of understanding which internal user is responsible for the bulk of a circuit utilization can be particularly tough. The answer…

Brandon any update from SWI on this? I am seeing the same thing on net-snmp hosts and need to be able to alert on this value. Thanks!

I had a similar situation recently that I was able to work around and get cross domain authentication for DHCP monitoring working with NO trust between the domains. In attempting to configure this I found it quite suprising that the NPM core AND DNS monitoring withing IPAM BOTH worked fine using Untrusted_Domain\User with…

Over the last two weeks we've performed 2 fresh NPM v10 RC installs and 2 upgrades from 9.5 for clients. All of them have been very impressed with the new console design. 1 Client in particular selected v10 for its ability to process trap details as a result of the new trap viewer features. We deployed on both Windows 2003…

Hello Marko, I know this is a very old post, but I am wondering if you ever found a solution to this issue?

Hi Bob, If I understand your question you would like to measure the latency from your datacenter to a remote file server. Have you looked at the APM module? There are several APM Component Monitors that could do this in varying ways. -Bill Fitzpatrick Loop1 Systems www.loop1systems.com
