rix, 20 to 25 elements is not excessive at all. We have customers with a couple hundred elements on a single map. But... how many levels of child maps under each map do you have ? Can we get a copy of your maps ? (forward to Development@solarwinds.net) I'd like to place them on a development server and analyze what's going…

An update .... The "sluggish response" issues we have seen have primarily been one of three different problems. 1) A Network Trend chart was added to a Home Page or Summary View. The Network Trend charts were added in V7 and are VERY machine intensive since they need to scan the entire SQL table in order to generate a…

Can I get more information about "Sluggish Response" and higher CPU Load. Please forward your contact information (phone number, best time to contact, etc) to Development@SolarWinds.Net. Also, please include any more details if you have them. Our testing and benchmarking of V7 showed a number of performance improvements…

Greg, SNMP config transfer is not supported in the current Cirrus release. The Engineer's Edition tools do supoport SNMP Upload/Download of Configs, but only for Cisco devices. Cirrus is designed to support many vendor's hardware. That said, there is a good chance we will add the Cisco specific SNMP upload/download to…

gbrance, There is a release of Cirrus that has a problem with banners on Catalysts with IOS. I believe that has been fixed and is in testing.

The Sonic wall MIBs should already be in the SolarWinds database. Tools like the MIB Browser and SNMP graph should already support the Sonic Wall equipment.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking, but... here goes. SolarWinds used to have an extension to Network Sonar that would add information about who owned each network including city, ISP, provider, etc. I'll see if I can find it. Also, SolarWinds "DNS/Who Is Resolver" can tell you information about each…

akko, This is a Version 7.x problem only. The interface to Notepage had a problem with Macro parsing. As of 12/11/2003 this issue has been resolved. You can contact support for a pre-release Alert Actions DLL. SWAlertActions.dll Version 7.0.0.125 or later. Or... you can wait a few days for it to be released from testing…

dsullinger, The Filters in Report Writer are generating SQL statements, therefore the comparison is an ASCII comparison, not a numeric IP Address comparison. For example, if we use greater than "10.0.0.1" and less than "10.0.0.200", the IP Address "10.0.0.4" would NOT fall within this range using an ASCII comparison.…

Ian, You will need to change your "Select Case List(I)" to "Select Case Trim(List(I))". The "List = Split(Resource.GetProperty("PropertyList"),",")" command at the top of the resource leaves a space at the beginning of each property name (except the first one). Also, here's a new resource with an example of changing the…

Another tip for Domain passthru..... You can add an Orion web Account named "MyDomain\Everyone" (use your own Domain name) to configure settings for all users in a Domain. You can also configure particular users from the same domain by adding accounts more specific to them. For example, add an account named "MyDomain\Don"…

Jonathan, What are you needing ? Be specific as possible. Thanks, Don

I suggest you forward the MIBs to support@solarwinds.net or development@solarwinds.net You should send them to the attention of Josh Stephens. He can compile themand send you a MIBx update.

All of the 3-Com and Cisco MIBs should be in the MIB database. We get these direct from the vendors. But... if we are missing some. Please forward them to Development@SolarWinds.Net We can compile a MIBx update for you that can be imported by your MIB Browser.

cromo, The Network Discovery application within NPM should not add duplicate Nodes. If you have already used Network Discovery and imported to NPM, then open the same discovery database you used last time and re-run the discovery. Then import to NPM again. Duplicates should be skipped. Duplicate Nodes may be added if the…

Tim, There is an internal bug in the initial release of Real-Time Interface monitor that causes the traffic and percent util rates to continuously increase for certain interface types. This has been fixed in a toolset update. Since the fix also required a change to the MIB Browser engine, a new toolset download had to be…

Bryan, The Configs are not compared during download at this time. That "RegEx ignore list" feature was a little buggy at the time of initial release, so this option was postponed. It is currently being worked on. Since there are some lines that always change on every download (ntp, wlcpp, etc), the compare after download…

We use Sprint and AT&T cell phones. They each have email gateways for forwarding SMS messages from an email server. Example: 9055556543@mobile.att.net AT&T Wireless 10DigitPhoneNumber@mobile.att.net Cingular 10DigitPhoneNumber@mobile.mycingular.com Metrocall 10DigitPhoneNumber@page.metrocall.com Nextel…

Damo, There are a number of ways to do this. By default Orion installations with ISDN circuits monitor them all the time, but only collect traffic data when they are up. This is the default setup within Orion. Also, you can easily configure alerts to notify you only when an ISDN circuit is active, or only when it goes down…

Looks like the database is mising a few pieces. ReRun the Configuration Wizard. Or.... run the OrionWebBackup.exe program and restore the Initial Configuration backup. The OrionWebBackup.exe program is in C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Network Performance Monitor directory.

That's the SSHv2 update. They are working on this right now.

Ted, Give me a call at 918-307-8100. Don

This is part of the undocumented magic of SQL. Orion converts these dates to numbers in order to easily support many different International date/time formats. You could just as easily use "( DateTime BETWEEN '10/1/2005' AND '10/5/2005' )" instead. You could also use "( DateTime > (GetDate()-30) )" to select the past 30…

Yes, you can display different maps for each account. See the following post : www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp

You can set your own scale for the Response Time Gauges. Download the following ASP files and place them in your NetPerfMon web site. ftp.solarwinds.net/.../ResponseTimeGaugeScale.zip Then from your NPM web site, bring up "/NetPerfMon/Admin/ResponseTimeGaugeScale.asp" and change the Scale. Don

marcoslongo, Please send your ideas for improvement to Development@SolarWinds.Net Thanks !

You can download an unsupported utility called "Orion Account Manager" from the Customer Area. support.solarwinds.net/.../ This utility will let you reset any web password including Admin.

The current Alert Engine does not support recurring alarms. The version 8 (in development now) Alert Engine supports recurring alarms, escalation, and many other features.

At first glance, we have had end-users state that they are used to MRTG and would like the charts to look like MRTG. But... after a few days and being shown that SolarWinds charts show the Minimum, Maximum, AND Average traffic for a period, almost all of them like the improvements and would not want to switch back. We have…

I do NOT reccomend adding a Bandwidth statement to each interface. That's a lot of work and cause other problems if you use OSPF or EIGRP. But... if a Bandwidth statement exists, Orion will pick it up and use it when calculating percent utilization of an interface. You can easily override any interface bandwidth setting…
