Another way that we used to do this previously was to have VirtualWin (a windows multi-desktop software) and a macro program that send commands every so often to switch the desktops; each of which was loaded with a different…

 By any chance are some of these FreeBSD? We have this issue lalso as you describe here with alerts. This is due to a 'fudge factor' that BSD reports on it's hard drives. Very odd. I've had to change around our % values to get it more accurate.

I am currently at 3 pollers. We have one poller that we keep servers, Cisco, APM, Voip, and the website on. We do this for ease of SNMP ACL management. It also logically keeps all of our 'core' equipment in one place. Sort of like placing all of our eggs into one basket, but we never run into problems. ~4000 elements Our…

 I would also like to express that I want to see this kind of functionality.

[View:/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.PostAttachments/00.00.05.69.31/Percentage-of-Space.OrionReport] This is a modified "Current Volume Status" report. It should be a good guideline for you to modify a 'Historical Disk Space Used" report. You will want to make sure and note the filters that I have in…

The Sun DB server you have sounds just right. However the polling box is overkill. I would make that an ESX machine and run a few instances of pollers on it.

We do something similar. I put the graphs right on the page, have the cpu/mem handy, and then a report of the actual data to the far right. Attached is a big screenshot of the custom html resource page that I made.

What about if you force a baseline?

We are for sure doing the switch to Raid10. If the performance boost isn't as expected, and barring future growth, then a Fusion IO Duo will be my next step.

This is a current thread where jtimes explains his massive install. It does not appear that any of it is virtualzed, however, it is similar in size to yours. From reading your thread, and comparing it to my own personal experiences, I can say that you should be able to combine a lot of that hardware into a nice ESX cluster…

Database server for sure. Your poller looks to be fine for whatever you throw at it.

We have a weird wan setup which is all monitored by AT&T. They said they could turn on netflow and dump it to a netflow product. That being said, we have 15 wan sites and around 630 ports total. Since the main WAN links are monitored by AT&T we are looking at LAN devices at the locations. Thus, i don't think our traffic is…

I would like to resurrect this thread. It does not appear that this made it into SP1. Do we know if this will be in SP2? I am waiting on making the jump to 9.5, due to this functionality.

I have noticed this same issue. It was explained to me that this was a bug, and will be addressed in the next release. Not service pack, but release. Seems like a fairly big bug to wait for a release to address.

We monitor ESX 3.5 with no trouble. However, there are large issues with 4.0, at vmware's fault.

Option 2. Four pollers (2 physical 2 virtual) and database is separate physical hardware, 10 SAS drive in raid 5. We are exploring the option of putting the actual database files onto flash storage within the database server. (FusionIO's IO-Drive.)

lchance, What OID are you using for your UnDP?

I have a poller that I dedicate to ADSL circuits. 11,000+ and growing daily. It polls Cisco 7206's. I have the same issue for two years now.

While everyone else can cover icons, I will cover buildings and rackmounts. Id like to see fixed post, cabinet, half rack, etc. Currently I have been having to create a background and then icons to fill the rack. This is time consuming. I dont mean to hijack the thread, but I would also like to see a slider on individual…

I am running 9.1 SP3. With I am looking to do something simple, such as how network discovery operates. I use a seed file to look at all effected routers, and can see all of the interfaces, I just wish that leaving them unchecked meant that it would remove them. Thank you for the quick reply!

I also waited on 9.5, until SP3. I opened something like 9 tickets regarding 9.5 in that immediate next few days. OF those 9, a few were quick fixes, 4 or 5 resolved in SP4, and the last few went into limbo/development/WTF. Regardless of that, jumping into 9.5 SP4 should be entirely safe. I somehow managed to miss the…

Similarly, we have one Orion map running on a 47'' LCD that has rotating pixels to prevent burn in. Vital if you are going to only display one map. Also, we use the F11 trick, but we utilize Opera in order to set the refresh timer for the page to higher. This resides in a NOC environment. Also in the past we have utilized…

There are potential issues with regard overlapping subnets you may have to work with, but again there are ways of dealing with this. What methods do you use?

Ohhh, kind of like this?

If your lucky enough to have good visio diagrams of your network devices these work great as backgrounds once converted to a gif image. That is how we do it with a global network map that allows us to drill down into each site once on the site of choice it displays the visio as the background with the solarwinds node LED…

I would love to have the ability to do this. We have been waiting for the ability to do so, since we purchased the product 18 months ago.

I am currently doing this, but with a ASA5500. Same MiB however. The above OID is a start. I use a UnDP that watches OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.171.1.2.3.1.35 which is cikeTunStatus. 1=active and 2=destroy 

We have a top level map from which you can drill down into our 18,000+ elements, spread across hundreds of submaps. If any one of those goes unmanaged, this tier 1 map, or even the tier 2 maps (which are sometimes used as views for entire departments) goes into this tacky blue dot. So really, this is a half a cosmetic and…

Im not happy about losing SM either, as I have 20k+ elements. However, I have accepted fate and become accustomed to the webview. I did so by intelligent custom property grouping, (and over grouping) and learning to use wildcards when searching for nodes. It has actually in the end made me more familiar with my network, as…

Haven't moved to 9.5 yet, but can ayone tell me how long it takes to load 7,338 Nodes from a single vendor? Heh. It should load as fast as you have your page size set at.
