If Orion is in Central time zone, then I believe the time period for an alert/report would also need to be central. The time is synced, so even if you have additional pollers the time zone should be the same on all. If the time isn't the same it tends to cause problems. Hope this helps.

It is not uncommon for there to be fragmentation on the tables in your Orion databases. We see it quite frequently. You can reference this KB from SolarWinds to assist with that: http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/3247/Critical+index+fragmentation+detected+during+database+maintenance. We typically recommend a…

Have you tried doing a network discovery just for this device? It could be hanging if there are a large amount of interfaces. I have seen this before on devices with upwards of say 1000 interfaces. The discovery will let you extend timeouts as well. Hope this helps, Chrystal Taylor http://www.loop1systems.com

You should be able to get all the info you need from the demo site: http://oriondemo.solarwinds.com Hope this helps! :)

What does your CPU look like? Are you running an additional web server? Is it on all parts of the website or just specific pages? Thanks, Chrystal Taylor http://www.loop1systems.com

If you know any SQL, you should be able to pull the data from the AlertDefinitions and ActionDefinitions tables joining on the AlertDefID. You can get the alert name, description, enabled (yes/no), trigger query and reset query from the AlertDefinitions table and the actions from the ActionDefinitions table. You can simply…

I haven't found a way to do this. We tried adding the &dataformat=excel to the end of the url in the report scheduler, but that didn't work. So, the only supported formats are HTML and PDF. Hope this helps, Chrystal Taylor http://www.loop1systems.com

Congrats, CourtesyIT​!

Unless you have the IP Addresses or hostnames of all of those devices, I don't see a way that this is currently possible. Network Discovery in NPM is only limited by subnet or supernet, IP Address, or specific nodes where you can use IP or hostnames.

Variables are added in the email templates. So, you will need to go to Build > Groups. Find the email template you are using for that rule, or create a new one. Variables are added on the left hand side of the edit pane, then you can use them in the email text on the right hand side of the edit pane. Hope this helps.…

As far as I know, this is currently a feature request, and the multiple series charts are intended only to show the same data on different nodes. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Why not create a Universal Device Poller for the upsAdvInputLineFailCause and then add it to the Node Details page in the web display section during the creation of the poller? Is that not what you are looking for?

If you edit the node, you should see a checkbox for dynamic IP: Hope this is what you are looking for. Chrystal Taylor http://www.loop1systems.com

In the Database Manager, you can run a query on the interface and volume tables. That should give you a list of what is being monitored by orion. For instance: Select * from interfaces where nodeid like '2' That would list all of the interfaces associated with node 2, so as long as you know the node id you would be able to…

You could create read only accounts for them, and add an account limitation to limit it down to their site only. Then, create a view that has only their reports or create a home page with a list of reports for them. Hope this helps, Chrystal Taylor http://www.loop1systems.com

You will need to create custom pollers in the UnDP to get the information that you want. The Node Details page we have for our UPSs consists of a couple of gauges (from the pollers) and then the list of UnDPs with all of their values: I cut off the image,so it is only showing the names, but ordinarily it also shows the…

Looks like the demo is having issues in IE. Works great in Chrome though. Edit: Looks like it eventually loads, it just takes a loooong time. Thanks, Chrystal Taylor

Works great! I used Chrome.

same for me. Chrome [a:a] autopopulates then just churns.

IE9 and Chrome had same effect. No errors, but just churns. [A:C] for both. guest 10 and guest 9 respectively.

IE 9 [a:b] autopopulated guest 13, but just sits and churns. It never logged in. Chrome [a:b] autopopulated guest 12, but just churned as well.

When you are configuring your alert, there should be a drop-down menu on the top. It is set to node by default, but you should be able to drop it down to interface. Then different options will show up for you, like interface id, and you can configure your alert from there. Hope this helped.

Yes, they are polled by the poller you selected in the discovery profile so they would not all be running on the main server at one time. As long as its not too much for your database server, I don't see how you will have any issues. Hope this helps. Chrystal Taylor http://www.loop1systems.com

In the trigger conditions of the alert you will need to create an all condition, and then you should have a condition that says IP Address is ... You will need to add two of those to accomodate both IPs and then add a condition for status equal to down.

Instead of marking them as unplugged, you could change the status up/down alert(s) to have an exception for those devices. Seems tedious, but it may be what you are looking for.

Are you receiving SNMP data on these nodes? It strikes me that perhaps they are ICMP only, and in that case they would show only the IP and not the DNS name.

Why don't you just edit the "all disk volumes" report and edit it for your needs. Just make sure you save as to a new title.

Sure you can do that work SQL by resetting the password there or by creating a new user with the required permissions and then running config wizard to change it. That does cause a service interruption, though. If you are looking for a way to get that password without a service interruption, and to recover the password…

@eno There is a way to recover that password, and I would encourage you to reach out to Solarwinds support in order to accomplish that task. -ChrystalT Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and Professional Services * LinkedIN: Loop1 Systems * Facebook: Loop1 Systems * Twitter: @Loop1Systems

Does the account you are using have any node limitations?
