So do you mean that web node management UI? I can see that we could add an option to use brower time vs. Orion server time. Until this, could you just adjust for the time difference as you set it? Am I missing something?

I did managed to resolve this! It was my account with an old cached password that was trying to access the internet for the license manager!

3. X-Axis time changes, details pretty much useless. v8 had hour increments with little 'up spikes' to show placement. v9 goes from 3am to 6am, no 'up spikes'. Interpretting the data from the chart axis information is all but impossible in v9. Good post. I agree. Where the heck are the tick marks? This is definitely hard…

I am getting this as well. Has anyone else seen this? 10.1.1 Windows Server 2008 R2

The easiest way to do this is to re-run the Configuration wizard and change the port. This will update IIS and some internal setttings. If that doesn't work, let us know and I'll give the you manual step.

Email Templates, ahh, email templates. I put up a post on Thwack that might help - . The bottom line is the fields you see in the template are fields that you (or we) put there - and you can call them whatever you want. What you put IN them from the correlation depends on what information is important to you that…

A bit of a late reply, but here goes: Downloading a file manually uses one profile (let's call it the manual profile), while executing a job uses another profile (let's call that one the Scheduler profile). Even though the two profiles are the same name, connect to the same site, etc., configuring rename rules in one does…

Restarting the Solarwinds Orion Module Engine seemed to fix the problem. But I'm curious as to what might have caused the problem?

Kiwi Syslog only supports VB Script and JScript natively. Need to install Perl or Python if you want to use that. Kiwi Syslog Server Run Script task - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC.

1. Since I already installed the Orion syslog service, the syslog viewer will start receiving messages without any further input, is that correct? Yes. Just configure your sources to send to the Orion IP 2. I may want to configure one or more filters to restrict the incoming messages to certain types. Syslog is a chatty…

 NPM and NTA must be on the same server. You can move NCM off to a separate server. You can also move the web server off to a separate box, but that requires a $500 purchase of the "additional web server". To managed 12,000 interfaces, you will need an additional NPM poller. Be sure that you have your database on a…

SolarWinds LANsurveyor does do autodiscovery. You can then take those devices that are discovered and add them to Orion manually. We will be automating this process in a future release. 

 Claus, Can you give us some more details? What exactly are you opening with Notepad? What are the steps to reproduce what you're doing. Thanks, Denny

 No and yes. I don't see usage of IP SLA in APMs future. On the other hand, I do see a steady progression of synthetic tests. We already have HTTP, but adding a DNS query, a SQL query, FTP, email, etc. is where we're headed.

This is also becoming quite serious for us as well. We also have had a ticket open (90802) since 4/15. We need some kind of time frame as to when this issue will be resolved. I am in the process of purchashing 2 more Orion servers (SLX) with APM and EOC and I will need to hold up that purchase until I know that this isuse…

CAT 6509/13 switches are a major part of our 600,000 network elements currently using another NMS. We have about one percent of these using ORION. We don't see any major ORION expansion due to the CAT port names not being able to be discovered. We can not manually cut and paste 200,000+ port names. ORION needs to be able…

Has anyone successfully been able to correct this on APM 2.5? We have approx 600 components with an unlimited license, and I get 4000 alearts per day with this. The monitors wil come up, then down. My timeouts are at an absurd 20 minutes. Based on our Support cases, very few users are experiencing this problem. If anyone…

I think this issue is back in SAM 5.0. I'd like to see it working the old way again. Kind regards, Jörg

Why don't you upgrade to IOS on the 6500's?

I can't agree more with you. I am evaluating ORION for a large company that has over 200++ CAT 6500 switches. I manually put in the port names for 8 switches. Talk about labor intensive. I can't see doing 5000 plus interfaces and trying to keep them updated.

How are you evaluating v8.5.1? If you download the eval, the current version is 9.0. The different is relevant because custom poller in 8.5 was replaced in v9.0 with the new (and much improved) Universal Device Poller.

Yes, that's an additional license - for more info see the Scalability page below: http://www.solarwinds.com/products/orion/scalability/

Lets see my most recent ticket which was open for 11+ weeks for a bug that was previously encountered. Yes thats a 11 week disruption to production services. Lets see.. 11 weeks.. thats 22 weekend days.. Does that mean they might have found the bug they had previously identified in 8 weeks? =) More support coverage does…

This is no longer needed... deleting and recreating the alerts fixed the issue. Thanks anyway

Hi secoya007, If you want to uninstall WHD, you should follow the steps provided here, depending on your operating system: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/webhelpdesk/flarehelp/whd_12-2-0_pa_en/default.htm#helpdeskfaq4uninstallhelpdesk…

If NCM and NPM are on the same server they will be fully integrated. You'll need to move NCM to its own server for your requirements. Please see:

lots of math up there. just add a field to the nodes table that stores the date/time of the last syslog you recieved from that address. then write an alert to check that field vs current date/time the one alert above looks like it would be reading the syslog table every minute (polling cycle) which could really kill NPM…

We have had requests to use "containers" (groups, AD groups, etc) in reports, but so far adding them manually is the best we can do. Some customers with crystal reports have used things like text files to join as "lists" directly, but using Crystal might be more of a pain than maintaining a manual list Multi-tenancy isn't…

The hot-standby requires an additonal server but not another database. The way I understand how it works is...each poller continually updates, for lack of a better word, a "control" record in the SQL database (not sure of the sync interval but it's frequent). The "control" record(s) are monitored (at a user configurable…

I'm pretty sure that those naming conventions are as they are because of some quirks of our back end systems. That said, I will see whether any of that can be changed.
