Chapter 8 of the Orion NCM Administrator Guide (page 87) is about reports, and the Physical Entity report is one of the many standard reports in Orion. You can view the .pdf version of the guide on the Support tab of the forum. Click Reports > View Report to see the entire list. You can then select the one you need.

If you add a new table to the Orion database, SolarWinds won't be able to support it since it's not part of the original Orion installation. With that in mind, if someone in the community, like jp, can help you add a table, that's great!

Steps for creating the diagnostics file and for uploading to Leapfile can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section.

Justin, you might find this thread on System Manager functionality helpful.

Kirk's asked me to fire up a post about Report Writer... so I'll do that shortly. Which is now posted here.

SP2 is now available.

kensho, this post from Tim Danner may help: "There's a preference for this in Web Console Settings on the admin page in the website. It's called "Status Rollup Mode" and the options are "Show Worst Status" ... and "Mixed Status shows Warning" .... It affects both maps and the node tree."

bleearg13, your technician should have gotten in contact with you this morning. Please let me know if that didn't happen.

Post the request in the APM Feature Request board.

If you go to PacketPros (https://packetpros.com), and expand Miscellaneous in the left column, there is a link for NPM SNMPv3. Note that the original post is from 2006, so this may not be using a recent version of Orion NPM. (It does use System Manager.)

History of the case with support shows "... a diskperf -yv issue on Windows 2000." Does that help?

My apologies; this should be addressed in version 9.5, not 9.1 SP5 as I posted above.

If you need to know where to upload your diagnostics file, see the post on uploading to Leapfile.

Yes. As I'm sure everyone will tell you, be sure to backup the database and any critical files or customizations before you upgrade or migrate.

Sorry it's taking a bit of time. I checked with Support and Development, and they are still working on it for all of you with the same issue.

See the discussion in this thread for some more information on System Manager vs the web console.

raedtlo and realman, please open a support ticket on this, and reference this thread.

I am also curious about it. Is the license number just the sum of number of all nodes, interfaces and volumes? According to the Cost Calculator page for Orion NPM: Orion NPM is licensed by the largest number of the three following object types: * Interfaces:interfaces include switch ports, physical interfaces, virtual…

I'm running the DB on a separate server, Raid 5. We generally recommend using a RAID configuration that maximizes write capability, since Orion writes a LOT of data to the database. Separate server, though, is good! Especially if it's dedicated to the Orion DB.

Check your Orion 9.5 install log at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds If it contains the following, then you may have leftovers from an old NCM integration installation (perhaps an eval version): NCMPluginVersion is [1.00.0000] ... Entering CompareStringVersions(1.00.0000", "5.1") .. To…

DirtySouth, the case has been escalated to Development, and they're working on a fix. Your case support tech will certainly let you know when there are updates.

Thanks, Jason! It's always very helpful when members post on the forum the solution that came from a support ticket. That way other community members will have the information when they search for the same or a similar issue.

This thread describes the database issue and a way to handle it, if it turns out that's what's causing the process spike in your case.

Maybe the SW mod can have my ticket re-assigned to someone in the states so that I can work with someone with the same work hours? cvinka, I'll send you an e-mail about this.

I think contacting support would be the best option at this point.

Indeed, there is! In the Administrator Guide, starting on page 63: Assigning Pollers to Monitored Devices. To get to the guide, click the Support tab on the banner at the top of the forum page, and find the link to the Administrator Guide under the Orion NPM heading. There's lots of information about Orion in general in…

Replied privately.

Bobby, Thank you for evaluating Orion NPM! Please create a support ticket, and enter Orion Evaluation as the SolarWinds Application. Someone will get back to you soon to help you with your installation issue.

Please feel free to post the script in this thread (you can attach files to your post), I will be interested to see how you achieved it. Or add it to the Content Exchange section. Then people who are browsing that section can find your script, too!

The release notes are in the process of being updated to reflect what I posted. That change should be up soon.
