I had originally installed the RC and upgraded the RC to the official release. I've done a repair install on the integration piece and still no luck. This is the full error message: Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\Discovered Links.OrionReport' Thanks.

Here's what you have to do to get it going: http://www.vmdork.com/?p=137 Basically, you'll need to install the SNMP Daemon via YaST, configure it, then poll it with Orion. Once SNMP is configured correctly, Orion will see it as a vCenter and you should be squared away. Let me know if you have further questions as I had…

Anything I try to add causes the same issue. Currently, I'm attempting to add HP G8 ESXi 5.0U1 hosts and some Cisco 2960S switches. They pass the SNMP credential check and the ESXi host passes the VMWare API credential check as well. Nothing WMI based at this time. Thanks,

I had the OID list as PDF before but I can't find it now... I have a few pollers that I was doing some testing with like a year ago for page count remaining per tray, tray paper capacity, toner remaining, and various status information for Ricoh MFPs and color printers. If you'd like, I can send you the pollers I have and…

If they were true Apple "fan bois" they would have a Dev account and have gotten iOS 7 last week

I haven't tried that yet. I will give it a shot and let you know. Thanks!

You shouldn't need to install a license key for Orion NPM if you're using the evaluation version. It will work fine for 30 days and then you'll have to install a license if you decide to purchase (Which you should ). There is a License application you can use to license the Orion applications. As for the network atlas, you…

NPM can only receive syslog (as previously stated) but to really get good monitoring of logs (from everything) you'll want to look at a full fledged product to do so , such as Solarwinds Log Event Manager (LEM).

Awesome guide!

I think you would have 2 options based on what how I interpret it. You can either uninstall any version older than 3.9 or you can upgrade to 3.9 or 3.10 and then install the most recent version on top of that. So, since you're already at 3.10 you should be fine to upgrade to 3.11 since you're within that scope.

I've not done this in the past but it looks like it has been a requested feature for quite some time. I'm not aware if it's in place right now or not. Here's the discussion/feature request I was able to dig up: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/96839#96839

If you have the OID's available you should be able to make some custom pollers and grab the info you want. Then you can choose whether or not to display the polled data in your Orion web console.

No problem! Glad you were able to get it squared away!

As Rob stated, you can do both. You can definitely add Cisco devices in and poll them with SNMP. If you have SNMP configured for a device it will be polled via SNMP and ICMP to gather all sorts of great stats and metrics on the device. Here's a Cisco guide on how to configure SNMP on your device(s): Cisco IOS Configuration…

You need to have a valid network discovery data in place before you can search for devices using NCM. That is when it builds the database for connected devices. When I search for a device on a subnet that I don't scan I get this error: "Before you can view port mappings for this device, you must first use Network Discovery…

I don't think this would be any different then how you would move or restore a MS SQL server/DB in a normal situation. Take the DB offline, back it up, spin up your new server, restore your backed up DB, point WHD at your new SQL server with the existing restored DB. As for DR, it would be the same thing except you'd be…

Hi rfletcher, I currently don't have access to a working NCM install but I think all of the Orion apps write to log files. Here is the location of the APM files which I would guess would be the same root folder location(s) as the NCM log files.…

Do these switches have redundant power supplies? If so, is that what's showing as being down? I experienced something similar on a 6509 - one of the power supplies had indeed failed but IOS saw it as "online" except it was actually not working correctly - even the LED on the physical PSU was fine. Orion said it was bad so…

It doesn't look like there is an easy way to do this, but I looked doing something like this in the past for another application and I got it working using the guide at this location: http://4sysops.com/archives/forcing-notification-area-icons-to-always-show-in-windows-7-or-windows-8/ Not sure if that's exactly what you're…

There's a whole bunch of stuff here: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-1103 Welcome to Thwack!

I've experienced some issues with 5.0 and HP G8's where the SNMP Daemon would crash periodically when attempting to poll. I didn't have any G8's running 4.0. Do these happen to be HP G8's?

What version of ESX/ESXi are they?

Try using "root" instead of "admin" in the username field and also check to see what NCM is using to gain access to the devices to download/upload configs. Also, try just using "enable" instead of the enable level 15 for access.

I would be interested in a Google Hangout style setup as well as I'm in Minnesota. I like the idea of doing something like VMware's VMUG setup but remotely.

I would think so since you could see what the traffic would be from source and destination.

We've got a couple HP Storageworks (Brocade) as well; it'd be great to get some CPU and other info as well. Thanks,

Hi Sven, I have a similar issue with my ESXi 5.0U1 hosts as well. I cannot poll any SNMP resources on them and during the resource discovery section of the "add node" wizard it seems to actually kill the snmp agent on the host. These are HP dl360p G8 servers but I don't think it's specific to the hardware. I had an open…

I'm not sure of a way to limit the view of the guests running when you drill down into an ESXi server. However, host details are available via the guest views. For instance: if I go to one of our VMs I can see all of the info about the host that it's running on (except for other VM's). This also shows the impact of the…

Are you trying to pull SNMP info from the chassis or the actual OS of the blades? What OS are you running on the blades and is SNMP configured at the OS level?

The only way I've been able to get info on controlled APs and clients has been to use universal device pollers and display them in the node status page of the controller. MSM750 and about 50 MSM422s.
