Great, thanks!! After having a few display problems it's good to know which ones were intentional! -Debbi

 I am hoping that someone from SolarWinds will give us a heads up on this issue. Debbi 

Glad you are tracking this and will have a fix. I am hoping it will be a periodic update that functions well and will not be something manual we have to do. The disconnection from the Web interface I am unable to duplicate today, so will treat it as a coincidence for now. The IP that I did the Delete on in the database has…

For those of you who have added placeholders for ports previously designated as "unmonitored" by using a SQL command like those mentioned in this thread: 1. What was the effect on your db size? 2. Does it name the ports "port xxx" or does it use the names Orion was going to name them if I had just checked all of the boxes…

Thanks!!!!!

OK, I can click on the (LOG OUT) after all. Was this an intentional addition to the menu line in 5.1 I wonder? -Debbi

OK, in our case this turned out to be a Cisco bug, we believe. We will upgrade the IOS this weekend and let you know.: CSCso81660 Bug Details 3750 stack shows incorrect values for output drops Symptom: 3750 stack shows incorrect values for output drops on show interfaces Conditions: This is seen on 3750 G stacks running…

No one seems to know what is an acceptable level of these messages. I get the following: Exception: error occurred during packet processing. Transaction (Process ID 56) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction. Transaction (Process ID 56) was…

Do I sound British to you? :) OK I did that. Now the IP address is not resolved at all (which is probably a good sign). I will check it in the AM. BTW, the two times I did these little "update" commands directly on the app server in Query Analyzer, I lost my web connection to the web server on my workstation and had to…

Thanks, David. I took yours and the tech's advice and instead of starting from scratch I dropped the 3.0 tables (I did not need the unmigrated data) and did a db shrink. It completed in a few minutes on a db of over 108gig but I only gained back 6 gig even though one of the 3.0 tables was 33 gig. I thought that was…

I would be interested to know what SolarWinds said to pguenther as response to his support ticket. Is this being addressed in the next SP? Debbi

OK, so even if I cannot have the "tool integration" bar, I created a URL resource to add to the node details page. After following all the excellent instructions provided here, using Putty, it works great. Many thanks to those who took the time to share.

Me too! Would be very helpful!

Yes, that is now true. The Resource setup changed and you identified the way it is done in 8.5. Thanks! So now I am left with the funky font. Two other things I notice about this screen now, and I don't know if they are related: The nodes that are not snmp-managed (ping only) used to be in the group at the top and the…

After working extensively with Orion tech, and doing a wireshark capture, we found that the switch itself was returning incorrect data. It would show, say, 4000 as the value, then once in a while (several times a day) the same OID would show 8000, then it would bounce back to 4000. I am sure this confused Orion. We…

There is no key at all called "Disable Alert Actions" under the SolarWinds.Net\Alert Manager\Settings. I added not a Key, but a String called Disable Alert Actions and set it to True. It now shows the following under Settings: (Default) REG_SZ (value not set) Alert Refresh Interval REG_SZ 120 Disable Alert Actions REG_SZ…

Yep. Not in Node Details Summary, Vital Stats, nor Network. Could it have to do with tool integration? We do not own the Toolset. Not sure anymore where you turn the integration bar on, if that is what it is. Debbi

Thanks. The dba's have already enlightened me on my lack of enlightenment! We did the update command (removing the "T" from what you said to do): UPDATE FlowCorrelation SET CacheExpiration = '2007-09-18 00:00:00' WHERE Hostname LIKE 'kelly-22296.co.multnomah.or.us' Netflow still thinks the IP goes with this hostname. I…

Thanks for your reply! I would be happy, for now, to write a report, if the results could look something like this: 172.20.13.1 dest1.something.com 3.0GB dest2.something.com 621MB dest3.something.com 305MB 172.20.13.2 dest1.something.com 123MB dest2.... Would this be possible? Usually I can find a canned report that will…

We have now given up on the migration. The last error was at 40% when it had a "serious error" when preparing to shrink the db and aborted. Now they are telling me to truncate the old tables and let the migration complete, but I bet I will just get another error. We are probably going to wipe out all of Netflow data and…

We have some devices that, in addition to our WAN group knowing about them, the telecom group also needs to know about. So we have a separate alert for the tcom folks for both the nodes and interfaces they are interested in when they go down. Similarly, we have a group of devices and interfaces that an outside vendor needs…

So that the service would restart sooner (instead of waiting for me to come to work), I set my netflow service restart to 5 minutes and that has helped. I hope SolarWinds can check in here with some words of wisdom, at least to tell us it will be fixed in the next patch.

Here is the email I sent this AM to support. I am getting pretty frustrated. (Case #79192)I am wondering if we schedule to backup the transaction logs every 15 minutes during the migration if the logs will not grow so huge. I believe when they are backed up they shrink almost to nothing. Would you check with your SQL folks…

usmc_ed, are you concerned that your db size reduction may mean lost data? It would be nice to have a technical description of the changes this version made that caused such a huge db size difference, and if the size reduction is causing the faster response time or some other programming change. This would be reassuring. I…

I have a question about these new filegroups. I have uninstalled netflow, and either deleted or truncated all of the netflow-related tables. However, the FG1 and FG3.mdf files are still huge and I need to get rid of that data. I was told by SW not to mess with the new filegroups, just to delete/truncate the netflow-related…

Yes, SW told me the same thing. Moving it off the SAN did clear up the constant problems we were having with locked records, though we also upgraded a few times during that period which probably helped too. However, now that we are on standalone servers that are up to minimum standards, they say we need faster drives. It's…

I am getting the same error and netflow just stops and does not restart. This is the error I am getting - does it match yours? I am on SP4. Exception: error occurred during packet processing. Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown. I do not see any evidence that the servers (app nor sql) are truly "out…

I totally do not have that tiny icon bar! Want! Debbi

The problem I have besides the huge slowness is that when I add or edit a node I need to add or edit alerts at the same time. I have not found where to edit alerts in the web console. Maybe I am looking right at it? -Debbi

SamuelB, the minute I try that the font turns into what you see above. Thanks for the input, though! Debbi
