Hi ryan.davis26​, You can either send me the details as a DM or tell your colleague to email me at maria.bungau@solarwinds.com and I'll take care of it. 

the time period option in APM pull-down is for a day only We changed this in APM 3.0. There are many more longer-term options.

I have been using IP Monitor for three years now and feel that the product gets secondary support levels from Solarwinds. Case in point I had to wait months for a new release to properly monitor servers Windows 2008. I know that IP Monitor is not your flagship product and that it does a good job for the money we pay but…

Bryan, The advanced alerts are stored in the DB and are database-driven. You need to use advanced alerts to do what you want to do. Denny LeCompte Sr. Product Manager, Orion SolarWinds

David is saying that we the "test fire alerts" feature that we have for Basic Alerts is not present for Advanced Alerts. We are adding it. The alerts themselves do work. Denny LeCompte Sr. Product Manager, Orion SolarWinds

Try adding "Stop Processing Syslog Rules" after discarding the message. I've just fixed a bunch of my problems with email forwarding by doing that. I thought discard meant the message is gone so there was no way for it to get processed in another rule, but I was wrong. It falls through to my last rule that said to Email it…

I tried a lot of solutions from this thread. Nothing worked. * Created schedule from scratch * Created schedule to use report in Orion and use the web address * Created schedule remotely with Domain and local Orion account * Created schedule on Orion server directly * Verified sos.local was set as Trusted internet site and…

2005 SP3 should have no problems running Orion.

 We don't fully support fibre channel switches yet.

I'm afraid we don't support transforms of transforms.

We are planning to add the ability to export Custom MIBs in 8.1. Once we have that, we will do what we can to help you all share pollers. www4.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp In the meantime, there's a stickied thread where you can post your Custom MIB information. www4.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp Denny LeCompte Sr. Product…

I'd be interested in getting the number of IPSec VPN sessions off a ASA5500. If anyone has it that would be great. Otherwise, I'll probably work on it next week. Jeremy

Can you give us more details on what you're thinking of? Just the OID? OID + Text? Files? We may be able to do something, but we need to be sure it would meet your needs. Denny LeCompte Sr. Product Manager, Orion SolarWinds

 You can do URL monitoring with APM.

Interesting suggestion. I've added it to our system.

The reason we removed the RAP is that it was built for an older version of Orion. As we've changed the architecture, the usefulness of the RAP declined. Our plan is to generally improve remote access within Orion, but we'll make it a core part of Orion rather than an add-on.

In our environment, I have created custom views and menu bars for different groups that are locked to their particular AD group. For instance, we have a department who wants to closely monitor storage on certain servers. I created a view for them and locked it to where those particular servers are the only thing they can…

Thanks for this. Our database changed in version 5.6 and while we expected these things to continue working, it looks like some of them may have been munged. Did you open a support case by chance?

Looks like no update in LEM 6.2 (current release). The ability to poll the appliance via SNMP is possible, but this would result in countless support cases and remote sessions with SolarWinds support to login as root and configure smnpd.conf with your desired community string and permitted managers (if this service has not…

@nicole pauls - Is there any signs of the ability to permit SNMP polling of the LEM appliance in an upcoming release this year? It has been mentioned in other posts, but the ability to set the community string (or just set it to something other than public and state this in the user guide in line with security best…

We don't currently have SNMP polling access (or other monitors) available for the LEM appliance. What would be useful to you to monitor? Just up/down? Anything else?

We have a tool called 'Account Limitation Builder' that is supported way of doing this. It's in the 'Grouping and Access Control' start menu group with Custom Property Editor. Take a look! Or, what Brian said. :)

that would display the top 25 nodes that were down What's the report? Are you showing availability?

 We are definitely looking into it, and there is a problem with one of the controls we use, and we are waiting on a fix from them before we can provide you with a fix. 

Per Microsoft... Best Practices In SQL Server 2005, running DBCC CHECKDB with no options may take considerably longer than in earlier versions. This behavior occurs for the following reasons: * The logical checks introduced are more comprehensive. * Some of the underlying structures to be checked are more complex. * Many…

Donald, I've asked this question internally, and the answer is not that simple. Running in 64-bit actually adds overhead, and unless the program specifically needs the 64-bits, it's often actually slower in 64-bit than in 32-bit mode. So the answer to your question is that it's not a priority except where is solves a…

Hi borgan, The SNMP trap action from LEM to anywhere (Orion included) and the connector that supports receiving SNMP trap data from Orion IN LEM shipped with our 5.4 version. It should be described in either the 5.4 release post - - or in more detail in the 5.4 RC post - . If you're looking for integration beyond that, let…

WQL query should be Select AvgDiskQueueLength From Win32_PerfRawData_PerfDisk_PhysicalDisk you probably already had that but thought i would toss it in here anyway.

We use the following... SELECT StartTime.EventTime, Nodes.Caption, StartTime.Message, 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 = StartTime.NetworkNode ORDER…

Moving more of NCM to the Orion web console is definitely our strategic direction, but we can't be precise on which features are arriving in which release just yet.
