I agree. I'm seeing the same problems monitoring services on a couple of servers in Mexico. The ping times are on the cusp of 100ms. The services are being recorded by Orion as being up and down in sparatic intervals throughout the day with no evidence on the server that there are any problems. If there were problems, we…

Thanks!!! I actually did a search/replace for href='telnet: and href="telnet: and replaced it with href='telnet:// and href="telnet://. It was replaced in 7 files. D:\InetPub\SolarWinds\NetPerfMon\Resources\2-1-NodeDetails\01-AdvancedNodeDetails.Resource 88: <td class="Property"><a…

IE7 & Orion 8.5.1 SP3: Telnet does not work.... I understand that Microsoft disabled the Telnet protocol in IE7, but I have re-enabled it through the registry fix. The problem here is that the telnet hyperlink on the Orion web site for a node is in the format of telnet:<ip address> rather than telnet://<ip address>. See…

I've attached the script that I use to update the port names in Orion for our COS switches. As usual, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!! Make sure that you understand what it does before running it!!! You'll have to edit the script to add your Orion server name, SQL server name, etc. before you run it. The script is written for a…

Add APM status to maps. The ability to create parent/child relationships and groupings with both applications and nodes, status rolled up to the group level. Add the ability to monitor a Telnet connection. i.e. connect both with/without credentials and look for a text string Be able to add a custom APM application that…

I was originally thinking that you could use multiple monitors, but after a quick search I have a solution. Assuming you have your maps created in orion.... * Grab WGET.EXE from http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/#download. * Create a batch file that calls WGET for each map that you want to display. * Schedule the batch…

IBM AIX 5.x: native process monitoring support - The workaround advocated by SolarWinds is to compile and install NET-SNMP. However, we cannot do that in our environment. In v2.0, you should be able to launch Perl or TQL scripts from APM via SSH to monitor what you want to monitor in AIX. That's cool. As long as the…

Thank you. I'll make sure to request this as a feature as well. Perhaps we can convince the developers to add it in the next version of Orion. David

Will there be? With application monitor I was able to create a map which listed applications and their status, perfect for the Help Desk. This is a feature that we would find very usefull. David

Hi Denny, That's an interesting concept. One one hand, a map could be considered a type of container. On the other hand, logical groupings could be created that contains different types of objects. Is there any reason why we couldn't have both, with a map just being seen as a type of container? For that matter, when you…

1. I would use Catttools on an Ad-Hoc basis. More specifically, for gathering switch/router information (i.e. routes, port usage, etc.), by running commands, which is then dumped to logs for later examination. In other words, for situations other than backing up or changing configs. 2. I have considered it, but would…

Yes, I would like to participate in the Beta. I am very interested in the user experience monitors. Any word on Active Directory monitoring? David

I've put in a request for this with Solarwinds support. In the mean time, I've created a VBScript that Stops the NetfPerMonService, queries SQL for devices running "Cisco Catalyst Operating System" and their associated interfaces that are currently being monitored, uses the mod/port information to poll the Cisco OID using…

In addition to what aLTeReGo has mentioned: Sendmail - queues, etc. Exchange/Sendmail health status page similar to the new standalone tool that was just released. IBM AIX 5.x: native process monitoring support - The workaround advocated by SolarWinds is to compile and install NET-SNMP. However, we cannot do that in our…
