Andy, I am curious what would happen to the datadb if the tempdb and logs were lost in that RAID-0?

For those of you that have seen this error occur, did you add the EnergyWise resource yourself manually or did it show up there automatically on upgrade to 9.5? Yes, I upgraded from 9.1 to 9.5 SP2, and immediately had this problem. I removed all EnergyWise, and problem solved. (Thank you support) I was unaware that Cisco…

I have a DSL termination router that has well over 10,000 interfaces, of which I monitor ~4500. Each DSL has an ATM and AAL5 interface, of which I only care for the AAL5. I also have this problem, where an interface displays as unknown for days. Our solution, was to place this router, and two smaller ones (~1500 each) onto…

jlintner, I am curious, what would happen if you lost both drives for your tempdb and logs? What effect would each of those have on the datadb?

They should both do the same thing, monitor netflow. How does Fluke beat out Solarwinds? Granularity. From what I can tell, NTA only gets as granular as the minute. NFT does millisecond granularity. NTA also seems to be a lot of top10 this, top5 that. NFT allows for deep packet inspection. If I want to investigate some…

Oh, I have not upgraded to 9.5 yet. I was going to wait for this to be fixed, and I did not see it in the SP1 patch notes. Did I just miss it?

Kiwi, I have an SLX machine running the website, APM, and IP SLA. This is a 2x Quadcore w/ 16gb of ram. Bit of an overkill. It polls 3500 elements, ~40 IP SLA, 660 APMs, ~200 UnDPs, and a LOT of traps. Next I have a poller on hardware, 1x Quadcore w/ 8gb of ram. It polls 3 nodes, but totals 10,600 elements across those 3…

This is actually a feature we have been wanting...since we bought Orion. Automatic discovery of network changes, node additions and removals, etc...on a scheduled basis. A scan at midnight and a report would be sufficient.

If I could add one thing, I have a very difficult time clicking on line links on maps. It appears that they are 1 pixel width. If I change their appearance to even 6, while the line appears bigger, the click able area seems to remain 1 pixel width.

I tried this, and it works for some routers. Great idea! However, when I attempt this on a router that has quite a few interfaces (a few thousand) it doesn't even try. I get this: SELECT 'I' as Type, I.InterfaceID as ID, I.StatusLED, I.Caption, I.Index, I.Name FROM Orion.Interfaces I WHERE I.NodeID=1676 UNION (SELECT 'V'…

We use Orion to not only monitor our network, but to provide us with an invaluable tool for providing support to our customers. Having worked in this support field for quite a while, I have some unique perspective on this. I agree with you brian_duvall, support was pretty bad in the range of tickets that you mention;…

1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.130.4.1.4 I use that for DiskState. You can find others under this tree for alerts, vendor, etc. I have not got responses for voltages and fans, however. I am curious of alterego's reply.

 Are either of these enabled on your current view? Thwack.com: Recent Orion posts Search on Thwack.com It sounds like a problem I once had. Disabled these, and much better. 

For April fool's day I changed our NOC's default homepage map to our Supervisor's face with nodes all interconnecting around his face.

Would it be possible to get an additional polling engine and place it at the remote site, have an internal interface in the private IP space to monitor the nodes and then an external interface to communicate back to the mother ship via something like a VPN? That is very much so possible. But then you run into the…

I have either been doing 1:1 NAT's or adding secondary IP's to device NICs. I was just curious if there were any other clever solutions on the NPM side. We have hundreds of customers on overlapping subnets on our network, but they work in cisco land because of clever VRF use. I wish NPM could intelligently monitor down a…

I am down. I pretty much have Montana covered [if anyone cares if Montana has an outage : ) ]

Actually looking at this a little more, it doesn't appear to be a up/down at all like I had figured. Only currently connected sessions show up, and if they disconnect, then it disappears from the table. Still pretty good to look and see who is connected, and I have them listing by connecting IP. Plus this will keep a…

I was also hoping that #6 would be of higher priority. We have been asking for that feature for quite some time. Same reasons as the above user.

Can I expect IP SLA statistic variables to be added sometime in the future? I would really like to be able to add packetloss and RTT to my architecture maps that already includes things like ${InBps} and ${InPercentUtil} I think that you can see how this can be of use.

I have also found that ESXi does not support snmp, if I remember right.

I agree this needs to be a feature request. Currently I am having to do custom html to get things to display how I really want. SLXer has a good example of that.

 1.3.6.1.4.1.1981 (dataGeneral) IS compiled into the Orion MIB database. Tricky part is getting your EMC to respond to SNMP, not the other way around. We have yet to get ours setup, but for when we do, Orion is ready. You will want to try your luck using 1.3.1.6.2.1.75 and 1.3.6.1.4.1.1139 also.

I am not sure about the hot standby and web servers, but I know that once you have moved all nodes from a poller, it will ask if you want to delete it from the database.

3x 1920x1200, so 5760x1200.

We actually had to go with another product for our Netflow needs, because we were worried about database performance. We are doing 18,000 flows per second collecting from 4 interfaces, at a sampling rate of 500... I dont want to add that stress to the DB. Does NTA support sampled netflow? Perhaps this could help with DB…

Different views across those 5 monitors or cloning the same view 5 times? I find that everyone's NOC view is very situational. We used to have a few different views and we rotated through tabs. Only until recently did we switch to just one map view for the big monitor, and then a very customized homepage for NOC personnel…

Hello. I do something a bit similar. We have a big map, as the only resource, on a 47'' LCD. Not quite 100'' , but this example will still work. We get rid of all task bars and then in the browser hit F11 to hide the browser bar. We also have a specific user logged in, whose orion menu bar is empty. Last, we stripped the…

That is quite interesting. I have yet to run into that one. I would say a support ticket is in order.

This is actually really easy. You just need to make 3 alerts and do some clever custom property work. % used > 30 [Custom Property] is {Value} % used > 40 [Custom Property] is {Value} % used > 50 [Custom Property] is {Value} We alert at 85%, and then 90% also. The first is really informational, but the second we flag as…
