I was hoping there might be an answer to this one. I'm looking to do a group availability report which shows group uptime/downtime and then lists the downtime events.

Here is what we cam up with for the same scenario: We have two broadband DMVPN Tunnels at each site and we don't care if one of the tunnels goes down. We DO care if both Tunnels (Tu1 and Tu2) go down and want to alert our 24 hour Operations folks. Using BGP and EIGRP routing neighbors information we used this custom query:…

Looks like the services.exe memory problem was related to the Event Log. It also seems *I hope* that reinstalling 2003 SP1 and then reinstalling Orion fixed the syslogserver.exe memory problem.

If you are running Orion NPM on a Microsoft 2K3 server there is a known issue with communication between ESXi 5.5 and Windows 2003 due to ESXi 5.5 using 2048 bit security certs which Windows 2003 doesn't support. Microsoft has a KB which addresses this functionality: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948963 I was getting…

There should be an "uninstaller" that was installed inside the agent's install directory that you can run to perform an uninstall. Or, to manually remove, you can stop the agent, remove the agent's install directory, and remove the related startup script if installed - everything is pretty well self contained.

Here is a screenshot of my lastest syslogservice.exe memory leak. Seems that services.exe is also crazy out-of-control.

Thanks. I'll keep you informed as well.

To my knowledge, we have not seen this issue before. We will try to replicate your problem and figure out what's going on. Denny LeCompte Sr. Product Manager, Orion SolarWinds

From speaking with VMware engineers, statistics gathering can only achieve by using VMware’s application programming interface (API). That's not quite accurate. We do gather statistics via SNMP. What is also true is that there are statistics that are only available via Virtual Center using VMware's proprietary APIs. We…

Yes. The SyslogService.exe continues to eat memory until it finally dies. I am running on a Windows 2003 server with 2GB memory. The last time I killed it and restarted the service was using 169MB of memory and was still climbing. The file version is 8.1.2531.22999 Thanks, Jeremy

Orion comprises a number of different services. Could you give us more detail on what problems you are experiencing? Your title says "Syslog"...is it that service you're seeing problems with? What problems are you seeing? Denny LeCompte Sr. Product Manager, Orion SolarWinds

Hi Nick, Have you created an email account for FTP Voyager to send emails from or have an email account fro FTP Voyager to use? For example, I created the email account FTP@companydomain.com. Without an assigned email address to use, FTP Voyager is not able to send any emails (i.e. there isn't an email account built into…

 Microsoft made some big changes from MOM 2005 to SCOM 2007. They broke all integrations. We are investigating what it would take to build a SCOM 2007 integration. We'll have to start from scratch.

hi i am starting to use syslog and i would like to ask if it is possible to filter the ''actions'' performed by only a selected user is there a filter for this?

Are you using the host seed file? If so, the Auto-select Subnets command needs to be set to 'false'. Importantly, you need to have a space before the commands and before the nodes in your seed file, or it won't work.

If you want to do something like this with LEM, you can use the network traffic events generated from your firewall, but it's generally going to be looking for anomalies in a somewhat limited way: * Frequency of events - an excessive count of occurrences/hits from a specific host, to a specific host, on specific ports, or…

Ah, I know just what's going on. The traceroute, whois, and nslookup commands route through an agent rather than requiring you to install some extra component into your LEM console or some other tricksy way that would probably make you uncomfortable about your browser executing commands on disk. How it works: * The FIRST…

 You can still do Warning or Critical. If those status terms don't show up in the drop down, you can just type them in.

Hi Josh, How did you go with this one? I believe the SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor has a JMS event stream and SOAP XML API. This should work for interfacing with the 5620 SAM.

ok found the answer on this issue. with the new version doing the topology tracking it seems that the data being placed in these tables is the issue the exact tables that are causing everyone to see this now are TopologyData and NodeL2Connections and NodeL3Entries prior to these tables NPM policed itself well and with…

In the past we've done this with standard SQL server commands. Have a look at this article for more information: http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/database-administration/defragmenting-indexes-in-sql-server-2005-and-2008/

Also if I create another HTTP monitor and enter the site, from the first HTTP monitor into it and then delete the first HTTP monitor and save it. I see a permissions error but it works! So there is a bug here with the first HTTP monitor that makes it impossible to rename it unless you create new HTTP monitors and then…

We made a couple of changes to Map Maker to help with scalability. Instead of showing a single flat list of nodes, we now group the nodes. That grouping starts off collapsed. Your node list might be there but collapsed? Is that a possibility?

Okay i've had my HTTP application monitors running for a little bit and I thought i'd go back in and have another look to see if I can rename the HTTP monitors. The first HTTP monitor I clicked on I could not rename. (Notice RENAME greyed out). The second HTTP monitor I can rename. Notice RENAME button is no longer greyed…

This is not a limitation of the trial, it is a bug. The easiest workaround is to connect to a single appliance (on first connect, so the list is only showing the one you want to add to). I will make sure we have this recorded, I know we have a few multiple manager in a single console issues that have cropped up as of late.

So you want to see all the apps on a node? If you add the Top XX applications to your standard node details view, you'll see exactly that. Is that what you're looking for, or am I missing a piece of it?

 This is a known feature request. For now, up/down status is tied to ICMP. 

If you change it on a view, it will be changed for every device. It isn't a device-by-device thing. 

In version 4.9 I just have to click on the refresh button at the bottom of the screen. In your screenshot this is currently spinning. So maybe it was fixed in a later release?

There sure is, but a lot of different ways to get there. I use the following command, run from a command line to get a list of Windows servers. This is run on a server which has SQL. sqlcmd -S <ServerNameGoesHere> -E -d netperfmon -W -h -1 -o <YourOutputFileNameHere> -Q "select caption from nodes where vendor like…
