Thanks, Byron, I was aware of that, but as Windows doesn't natively have performance counters for our applications, there is some code that has to be written. That to create and write to the custom counters.

I know the official position is that Orion does not have 2008 support yet but will it run on it? Probably not. There are some major changes between 2003 and 2008 that break Orion. We'll get that support in the first half of 2009.

In fact Holy, I've looked up the date for current Administration Guide (6/04/2015): I can assure you that SolarWinds NPM 11.5.2 was released after that.

‌Holy, I doubt they will rewrite admin guide after each release. Prove me wrong please.

it appears that the initial install of Patch manager using a remote sql server the "service account" needs to have logon local access to the sql box we created a new temp account that had logon local access and was sysadmin on the sql box performed the install and basic config of the patch manager server once that was…

ok So in doing the show policy map interface command I am seeing the Bandwidth policies that are in place, but its not showing any dropped. I am seeing where it is showing exceded stats, and I would hope that it was dropping those, but not sure on that. After the exceeded stats it should say actions; and tell you what they…

Hello, I have follow your advice and automation server is now installed on the WSUS integration DSS server. I have made some test to publish a package, we choose to publish the pm agent package to check if replication works from USS to DSS. The package was published on the USS, then few second after i saw it into the 3rd…

Tell me you are a Tiger fan, Denny!! Sorry, man, not really. I was a prof at LSU for 5 years, so it was a job, not an alma mater. Plus I went to school at Univ. of La and then to Rice. So, I can take 'em or leave 'em.

Hi it looks like warning is still being classed as up. So you may wish to change your group settings to display the worst status for the group. That would report as down on your report then without editing your report to show warning as down.

thank you

Understood. Thanks for your help Dan, it was greatly appreciated. I was afraid of that. I guess I'm resigned to the fact I have to create 9 reports for each group for availability, 9 for latency, 9 for packet loss and 9 for interface utilization...36 individual reports versus it could be only 4...that sucks!

To answer the last two questions: >> On average, how often are updates to the agent issued? Generally, we minimize the impact/frequency of updates to agents as much as possible. With our next release, there is an agent update, and this will be the first time in about 18 months that we've updated the agent. The…

Is there any way, in web interface or System Manager, to see which poller is currently being used for this information?

I agree with Donald i think it would be a valuable tool to use even though its not actual netflow like routers and switches do. We'll certainly consider it.

The ability to complete mathematical functions for custom poller graphs is not available in Orion 8.5. Denny might be able to shed some light on whether of not this feature will be available in 9, as I cannot recall a previous post verifying this. Yes, in v9.0, you will be able to combine data from one or more pollers into…

Well, turns out it had nothing to do with my queries. The account I was using to access the Solarwinds API didn't have proper access to query NCM. Once that access was granted, my queries worked. Would be nice if it threw a permissions error, but I guess I should've checked that account's access earlier. I gave it admin…

 I don't have an update yet.

Ah - We're currently using two distinct domain accounts to run the playbacks. They validate successfully in the 'checker'.

 I've opened it as a bug for the next release.

See this thread:

Try the new one I posted up there for you.

Good idea mdriskell!

I don’t exactly know what we did, but it seems to be fine now. I will send out this update to some production workstations and follow up with the results. Hopefully they are good results. Thanks for the help on this. Matt Salas | Home Federal Bank | P: (208) 468-5064 | E: MSalas@myhomefed.com

jswan, Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts. Tak

Let me try with something like below first Node Status is not equal to UP. Child nodes are unreachable. If stuck I will send the screen shot

Yeah I was looking at the NPM part. My lead told me that we would be getting the newest version when we get ownership of the application. The wheels turn slow here.

I installed the Basic Lite Oracle Client. Should be good enough right? Still getting this TNS error ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor This error can be seen when the listener has been started, but the database has not been started (yet) or automatic database service…

Yep. I changed the NetBIOS setting to "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" and I am not seeign any more NetBIOS traffic from NetFlow. I am not sure what other impact having this disabled will cause to Orion but we will see.

I opened a ticket with Support - Case #364018 - "Orion Alerts not working"

Hi, Great resource, just 1 question. Whats the SQL folder for? Is that if you want to query the database itself? Thanks Jase
