  • Great idea! As not all devices, links are equal. Been looking for a way to tweek our SQL servers so they won't keep sending alerts for high memory utilization. Think I've found an additional task add to my to do list. Thanks!
  • Rob, Just got this today. The issue has not been resolved as there are several services that are not starting. The last that I had heard was that everything was good and all of the specified devices were being monitored and gathering data. Last time I take an SA's word on this. Think I was premature in having you close…
  • Rob, Yes, this got sorted out. Not exactly sure what they did to get it working but whatever it was it was a miracle. Think it may have been an issue with their VM as it had crashed several time before this. Thanks for your help and time. Dave
  • I will do that come Monday since my plate is rather full right now thru the weekend. Do you know if there is any significant price reduction in an upgrade versus a full install? Today I also received the install CDs for 7.1 up to 8.x so if I do have to reinstall I'll have them. On a side note, the NPM has seemed to have…
  • Already done that. Case #497233 has been submitted to deal with this issue. Everything so far that has been asked to check has turned up nothing. Have also tried looking on Google for anything related to this and haven't found anything. Is there any real difference between the windows snmp trap service vs that of the…
  • Case #507937 has been submitted for historical chart data not available. I also got into our other system on the unclassified side that was displaying the same chart behavior and it is now fine and displaying normal. Seems to be an off an on kinda thing. CPU and memory load on the box is kind of high as well. CPU averaging…
  • Ok not sure if I'm in the right place or not but I'm in the properties of the server like you stated and in the memory section but the settings seem way off. The server only has 4 Gb of memory but the max is set to 2147483647 which is in Mb. The minimum is set to 0 and is set to use AWE to allocate memory. I'm no SQL…
  • Quick question on polling engines as you state that the secondary polling engine is not a full blown web server. What exactly needs to be installed on the secondary? Currently we are running a NPM SLX version on an old HP box with the DB on a separate server. We have recently been provided 2 new VMs to run our polling…
  • Thanks Brandon, The Sonar discovery never seemed to work for me since it would always die about half way through and never complete. I've been putting all of our devices in manually and then selecting the interfaces, etc that I want monitored. I understand adding the certain interfaces to the ignore list but we have…
  • That is what I'm trying to figure out from my manager and even up the chain to the customer which actually purchased the product for us back in 2007. Some sort of SLA would be nice but for now we're pretty much on our own to figure things out and make it work. I would like to upgrade to v10 but getting the $$$ to do so is…
  • Think we have narrowed this down the VM's security settings. This box being in a closed environment there are several security settings applied to it that we think may have broke it. Our plan now is to rebuild the VM and install NPM and see if it works, then we'll apply the security settings and see what breaks. As of now…
  • We also have experienced the same exact thing you're describing. We have our Orion server and SQL server separated so not really sure what the issue is despite Solarwinds recommendations that placing them on separate servers would increase performance. We are also running in an enterprise environment with hundreds of…
  • Having the same issue here. Windows SNMP trap service is shut down but the SW SNMP trap service fails to stay running more than a few seconds. I am at a loss as other systems that I have implemented NPM have operated normally. What gives??? We are also running the latest version of NPM as well on a VM. No events logged in…
