Not directly on point but very close is the functionality provided by Lan Sweeper, which we use for our desktop environment. It pulls the manufacturer and the serial number from the motherboard then provides a URL link to the vendors support site like this......…

The wizard of supplied import job that I have is like a 2 row grid. The 1st row is multiple dropdowns ( 1 for each column) which represents the available columns in NCM into which you wish to import the NPM data - which is shown on the 2nd row and is fixed. Interestingly the NPM NodeID is shown in the 2nd, fixed row and is…

Marie, An update on this would be really appreciated. You could provide this functionality in the Advanced Alert Manager as requested in this thread - but it might be easier to include it in the Report Writer and then create a new "Run Report" action in Advanced Alert Manager. Obviously this new action would need to…

Francois, I'm very glad to hear that you are working on NCM. But for those of us who has constantly evolving networks would it be possible to align the NodeID making it common between NPM and NCM? I suffer from a network team that likes to routinely replace, rename or reconfigure network devices. These changes are easily…

***Subnet Scan Update*** Following the deletion of all pre-ugrade subnet scans and re-creation of a smaller selection of scans (see post above) the issue did not appear to resolve. However, soon after this change Orion stopped writing to the database requiring me to restart all the Orion services (several times in fact).…

That's really great news, thank you. I don't want my next comments to impede the feature request you've already logged, but even with this feature request the monitor only provides the state of an e-mail system. At some point in the future, would SolarWinds entertain the development of a more enhanced round trip template…

michal.hrncirik , I have deleted all the pre-upgrade subnet details and re-created a smaller set of subnet ranges but I am still getting issues. Dog

I would support both Keiran and Don in requesting that both the syslog and trap viewer are enhanced to allow them to create NPM events. It just makes sense to put all events, however they are generated, in one place (against the NPM node). Dog.

I'm sure many Orion Admins have done some really trick things with email monitoring - we're an ingenious bunch - but are we in agreement that some installations will require SMTP credential settings for external servers in the Round Trip Email templates? Personally I would always opt for Orion to inject emails into an…

Following a recent upgrade to the latest version (IPAM 2.0.1), I am now suffering a similar fate. It appears that there is a hard-code 10 minute timeout on IPAM subnet scans that you can't get to. And once the subnet gets timed-out the system puts it back into the queue again, which doesn't seem an entirely logical thing…

r6hcmc, Wrong thread - sorry my mistake. Dog

True, but the MAPI Round Trip Email Template doesn't support separate SMTP credentials - its highly unlikely that your internal credential will ever match your external ones.

Hi Annie, nice to hear from you. Here is the gauge idea, its based on the stock market values shown on finance.yahoo.com where the current price of the stock is shown, followed by a trend arrow ( agreen "up" arrow or a red "down" arrow) when compared to the previous poll value. I've attached cropped images to give the…

I just had the requirement for this so I will raise it : "Did the request for historical trending of subnet / scope usage ever get included?" Thanks, Dog.

Hi, I've recently had a similar problem but with a lot Receive Discards - we are talking millions here - which were distracting from useful information of the NPM Summary page. So I cloned the "High Errors & Discard Today" to a Test Resource and then added the following SQL filter. OutErrorsToday > 0 or InErrorsToday > 0…

Chris, I've just come across the same problem but it appeared to happen quite literally "out of the blue". Like you a restart of the SNMP service on the remote node appears to be the only solution. The following (or variant thereof) is likely the cause. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972840 Consider the following…

Not only should this be included as a feature in the next version, there is no information included in the documentation as to how setup AD group rights (or the fact that it's pre-defined). Surely it's not to much to ask for a paragraph to be added to the help file? Dog

dodgeyrog and Andy NG, I've had the same problems - any node that is *NIX based - Linux, Cisco, FreeBSD, et-al has this issue but Windows OS's don't. It seems to me that Orion is polling OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3 which work great for Windows devices but is (as we've found out) useless for *NIX's. Orion needs to be changed so…

Mark, Old thread but the following may help someone...... That looks to me like the page of a Netman 101/102 card in a Riello UPS. They are a bit confusing as you have a MIB for the card and a seperate section of MIB for the UPS functionality. Most of what you see on the webpage is available from the MIB trying looking…

Anee, I've been playing with this further to get icons displayed and applied some sorting - revised code below. SELECT oc.DisplayName as CONTAINER, '/Orion/StatusIcon.ashx?entity=Orion.Nodes&status=' + ToString(oc.Status) + '&size=small' AS [_IconFor_CONTAINER], ocm.name as NODE,…

Anee, Apologies, for the wait - work caught up with me. Ok a little confusion on the term "group" - something you do in SQL and reports but what confusingly the same term SolarWInds decided to call their node grouping, though under the bonnet they use the clearer term "Container" as you'll see from the script below. So…

Hi Anee, You don't need to group, which generates the indenting, so remove it. Make sure the 1st column is your "group" field but don't apply grouping, instead apply a sort (normally ascending) to it - this will sort this column first. Then apply a sort to the 2nd column, your node field - this will order them with in the…

Hi Ryan, Looking at your original post, it looks to me like your problem is how you configure the forwarding from the RSyslog server rather than forwarding from Kiwi. Kiwi already has the ability to forward whilst retaining the original (source) address - see image below. Google should be your friend to resolve this and a…

Update : Hopefully this will help clarify the issue - courtesy of IBM (IBM ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 193 - United States) On 64-bit Windows, there are two versions of the Microsoft ODBC Administrator tool. Typically, you go to Start --> Administrative Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC) to create…

CameraMonkey, I'm just working on my APC UPS's and whilst I haven't looked at the BatteryReplaceIndicator, I probably should. I've been looking at OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.11.1.1 (upsBasicStateOutputState), a 64 bit value but only then first 32 significant bits are used (see listing below) where each bit represents a…

I would like to add my support for a digital gauge - very useful for things like UPS time remaining. Would also be usefull with the addition of trend movement indicator like you see on stock market reports (a green up arrow when increasing or a red down arrow when decreasing). Thanks, Dog

I'm having the same issue and have resolved the issue using bfreking's suggestion - thanks btw. The question I have for Solar Winds is why are these events being recorded as "Informational" events in the SolarWinds.Net event log? Given the importance of the AlertingEngine - what's the point in buying Orion if you can't get…
