I also, have much improved performance. Excellent work on this one. Now, lets see if you can do the same to map performance...

Feature request? Or is this coming with IPSLAM

I just installed it without stopping the services manually. No problems. The services shutdown automatically and everything came back up and seems to be working fine. My situation was the same as the quote above. One small trouble that I had...is best showcased in the attached screenshot. On the left is Network Atlas...and…

I watch my perfmon like crazy as well, but I have not noticed this same issue.

I have had the same problem. I notice that it is when the dllhost.exe process called by the solarwinds_website is utilizing over a gig of memory. Actually when it hits about the 1.5gb mark, it tends to crash the site or causes all maps to go funky, including just displaying 1. The two resolutions given here both work, or…

Same here. Lets compare? Polling: Win2k3 16x 147gb SAS drives in Raid 6 Using: NPM 9.1 SP5 and APM 2.5

I really like all of jason's points, especially the last one.

Orion TestTrack #8047 is also a hot priority for me, for quite some time now. Some things I am waiting on it for: More specific BGP alerting. More specific VPN state alerting. Alerting on queue's of various spam/virus/filtering equipment. These are just examples of what I have off the top of my head. We also have SAN's,…

Do you anticipate your network elements going up drastically in the near future? If not, I think that your current hardware will be fine for the small ammount of devices you have. A blade server shouldnt differ any from a standalone. All I would recommend is a similar blade add in for your database server. And maybe swap…

Are you running 9.5? If so, all of the maps are in the database and will migrate along fine.

1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.130.4.1.4 This works for our PE2950III's We had to have OpenManage installed in order to expose these OID's, however.

Yes. You could use variables such as: ${Inbps} ${InPercentUtil} A full list can be found in the admin guide.

All 3 of these, are very...very attractive to us. We do not use RW community strings at all, and all of our operations are manual...so #3 is very nice for us.

Slinky, You are not alone. We also have Fluke's Netfow Tracker, doing 22.84k/s, peak 37.87k/s flows. This server does just fine, disk read/write queues are both below 2. Our Orion database server has exact same hardware, and yet the write disk queue is out of control.

Installed across 4 pollers, and doing fine. The same installation issues are around, precise timing of stopping services manually is needed to move the config wizard along.

${InBps as Bandwidth} will work for bandwidth.

Hi. I do something similar. I use custom properties to achieve this. For hard drives you want to alert on at 35%, just give them a custom property of 35. For the 40's do something similar. Then you just alert on when space >35% and custom property is equal to 35.

Are you doing the SNMP-Walk from a different machine than the poller? It could be an ACL issue not allowing ICMP.

I do something similar. Attached is a screenshot example. This is a custom summary page that I made, and has links to other related summary pages, so as to not clutter this one up. I would create a new summary page of these graphs, and then set a link on Node Details to it. You can add custom HTML links as a resource under…

Nothing nearly as impressive as Cisco DMS. My NOC is merely a big LCD that rotates tabs of summarized information, and then drill down via NOC PC's.

64 bit counters?

 We do exactly what you are looking for here. We sell 24/7 monitoring services, provide a unique login/view, send alerts, and then call out the appropriate people after designated times/troubleshooting. However, I am not aware of pricing of how we do so. I do know that we base this somewhat on average ticket resolution…

Primom, We use 300/300/300 (seconds) for polling nodes/interfaces/volumes. We then use 5/5/15 (minutes) for statistics collection on nodes/interfaces/volumes. We do this to remain 95th percentile compliant of 5 minute values. This has worked to great benefit for us, and has remained unchanged for a year.

I am in the same boat on this. The icons for unmanaged on maps is horrid.

I do something sort of similar. This could easily be edited to include date, and be for 30 days. This is just something that I have automated to run every day and email to various groups.

Sure. If you are in Windows you can use 'nslookup' from the command line.

What I do is label the volumes that I want to monitor (so that I dont monitor /tmp and other always full volumes) with a custom property. I then create two different alerts to fire at 85% and 90% usage, where my custom property is also in place. The 85% is the warning shot, and the 90% is considered critical. That way I…

I have an SLX machine running the website, APM, and IP SLA. Windows 2003 64x, this is a 2x Quadcore w/ 16gb of ram. Bit of an overkill. It polls 3000 elements, ~40 IP SLA, 1190 APMs, ~200 UnDPs, and a LOT of traps. PPS[35 ICMP | 30 SNMP] AvgCPU:9% AvgMEM:17% Next I have a poller on hardware, 1x Quadcore w/ 8gb of ram.…

Thank you for the insight! We run into this problem all the time, as we are 90% *nix based. Correcting for the 'fudge factor' is very tough, but this looks to do the trick nicely.

That is a very clever work around. I have this same issue, however go to Administrative tools -> Component Services -> Com+ applicaiton -> right click on Solarwinds Orion NPM -> Properties. under pooling and recycling tab -> LifeTime Limit(minutes) -> set the current value to 1440. worked magic for me. I have to go back…
