fcpsolaradmin ​I'm curious on the Password Manager that you currently use. You question sounds like one of the issues that I'm having with my users. If possible, could you provide the link to your current password manager. Thanks

No, you don't need to change Orion's password when the user changes their Windows password.

 It's definitely on the roadmap.

I've opened a bug. I'll reference your video so that we can try to reproduce in house. Thanks! 

I just tested this on our Orion 8.51 system. If the user has Admin rights then they will be able to see the SNMP string - otherwise it should'nt be displayed. I tested a non-admin user an clicked on Traps - no community string. I then gave him admin rights, logged him back in - community strings showed. Set him back to…

Yes, if you only have one node and/or one interface, you can certainly add those as a limitation. However, in our case, that's not applicable. I did manage to figure this out, here's our assumptions and the changes needed: - 90% of our user accounts are customers - 90% of said accounts have more than 3 customer locations,…

I will wait for Jiri Cvachovec to post an official blog for what I was referring to. There are some advanced ways of creating rules through reverse negation and reverse pattern matching that will match everything but what you define and then give you a more usable output for line by line error detection. I have covered…

So I think I found the issue. I believe my second argument is too long. After I shortened it started working. This is brings my question, Is there a character limit for the second parameter on the command line? If so, what is that limit? Also how do i separate different strings?

Sorry, I can't provide a firm time line yet.

If you tell me the OID, I can help you set up a UnDP to monitor the # of cans in machine. :)

That would be a feature request. I'll certainly consider it.

The number one complaint I receive from my coworkers is how the homepage refreshes while they are browsing through the Node Tree and then the tree resets. This is really irritating at times. If possible it would be nice if either the page would not refresh while browsing the node tree or the position within the tree was…

Sounds good. With Windows Vista, 7, 2008 and upcoming 8, applications can create specific event logs where only their events are stored. I think the Security Log may still be the best choice, since it's limited to admins - the other logs might have customizable permissions, but I think by default are open.

From one of our architects: Orion is fully supported on 64-bit Windows. You can put Orion on 2008 x64 and install as much RAM as you can carry. Physical Address Extensions may or may not be a “cheap trick,” but you definitely don’t need it to run Orion on a >4GB system.

The FG4 file finished at 62GB, I understand that data was compressed I just wasn't expecting to need more storage to perform the upgrade but it makes sense after the fact. I've got default values for data retention: Keep uncompressed data for 4 hours Keep compressed data for 365 days I'm now seeing table migration in the…

If you download the eval package again, it will include SP1 with it, and it will run it automatically. Try that, and if it gives that error at the end, then contact your SE. It would suggest that there's something left behind that's indicating that it's a production install rather than an eval install.

so if I haven't got multiple paths to my devices then as far as monitoring is concearned a loopback is pointless. I agree to your other comments, I only wish I had the time to implement it :). thankyou for your help. Dave

Try this.... Select NodeCaption, IsNull(Sum(DownTime),0) As DownTime From ( SELECT Nodes.Caption As NodeCaption, DATEDIFF(Mi, StartTime.EventTime, (SELECT TOP 1 EventTime FROM Events AS Endtime WHERE EndTime.EventTime > StartTime.EventTime AND EndTime.EventType = 5 AND EndTime.NetObjectType = 'N' AND EndTime.NetworkNode =…

Jarolsaw, Try to open this page on your Orion. It should bring up a ToolTip page where you can customize what you want to show (any custom property) for the node. http://your_orion_name_here/netperfmon/admin/maptooltiptemplates.asp

actually, i applied for for tony as he is a noob .... ;-) tee hee... fight fight fight

You know, we're really hoping to create the same kind of engagement, where folks on Thwack can learn from each other with a little bit more real world examples (just talked to another frequent Thwack user who had the same wish for more participation here). I'm sure I can chime in with some ways to solve problems with LEM,…

There is also a bug in certain versions of IOS that causes the router to report the same conversation statistics more than once (duplicate packets). These duplicate counts get added into the total and push it over 100%. I've only seen it on multilink interfaces though. Rick

Thanks. I will be upgrading to Version 2.5APM this weekend. I appreciate the response.

Thanks RT. I know we discussed Slowloris before I left SolarWinds, I was surprised I couldn't find a blog post or comment. One mitigating factor to many of the tomcat (and related) attacks are that the LEM console is intended to be used on the internal network, so a low severity attack is somewhat lower. Ultimately it'd be…

Ah, that's different - but still no

The mikrotiks support the following mibs and netflow, so if configured correctly you will get more data into Solarwinds. When you add a node and enable it for SNMP, add the community, and hit test I assume it says failed. MIBs used in RouterOS v5.x: * MIKROTIK-MIB * MIB-2 * HOST-RESOURCES-MIB * IF-MIB * IP-MIB *…

This isn't possible right now, but we plan to support Groups in a future release, which would allow what you want.

The historical data for the agent is all saved on the server/appliance, so don't worry too much about reinstalling the agent. If anything you'd just want to double check that it's in the expected tool/connector profile, if you're using them. The spoplog.txt looks like the agent believes it's running, though it may be…

My pleasure :-) You save as a file...save in the Reports folder on the Orion server. The report is then available in the Web Console.

Never Mind - I tried the HTTP Monitor again, and finally noticed the "Authenticate Mode" option further down, and changed it to "Always Authenticate". Test successful.
