On a gauge, you can change its size to up to 250%. Is that not big enough?

We've often been asked to re-create the JobEngine.sdf file when polling goes funny. You will have to stop the services to do it, but it is a relatively simple process and won't break things if you make a backup as it suggests. Details can be found here: knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/.../ Andy.

Our system requirements are. SP2 is not required. Operating System: Windows 2003 Server (32-bit or 64-bit) including R2, with IIS installed Just to be clear, we do not support any version of Windows XP.

Check out the "DHCP but no Agent" and similar rules. The "DHCP but no Agent" rule looks for a DHCP lease where there's no LEM agent installed. You could also hook up your Active Directory groups, put all your known computer accounts in it, and modify the rule to look for a DHCP lease to a computer that's not in your group…

 Yes, it can be done, but you'll have to change the SQL query for the report..

We realize that the current requirement is not ideal. We plan to improve this in the next release of Orion so that "sa" will not be needed during setup.

The other thing which jumped out immediately was one large table ("NPM_ScheduledJobJournal" with 1.7 million rows) with no indexes at all. I would like to add at least a clustering index to this. Would that be OK? Other than that the database looks fairly well structured." You can go ahead and delete the rows in this…

The "SQL Server VSS Writer" component is unable to connect to the server. Did you test the AppInsight template before you applied it? Unknown state can be related to permissions. Adam

 The chart should be showing the days across the bottom(30 Tue, 1 Wed, 2 Thu, ...). We did some work in 9.0 SP2 to fix the majority of these issues, so I'd make sure that you're at least up to date on that and it should resolve a lot of the issues. In some recent testing, we found a case where it wasn't working as…

Good request. I've entered it into our database. In the meantime, could you create an alert action that creates a script to write the info from the trap into the NetPerfMon event log? I know it's suboptimal, but it's something you could do now.

danielgilbey‌, you didn't break any rules. No worries. We moved your thread to the thwack Community space since the NPM one is for product related questions.

Thank you everyone for your help. Work pretty well for what i need. Much appreciate

This is something I want to accomplish as well. Are there detailed steps for doing this out there? 

It has been suggessted that a "VM Host View" like the one for VMWare ESX Server be created for Hyper-V Servers. It has not been implemented yet- thus why it only shows as NT Server. We also use Hyper-V and would love to see this kind of resource.

Any ETA for fixing the NCM 7.0 add Node functionality ? The remark is quite confusing, is it a known bug related to the CRUD operations themselves, and Direct DB is possible, or are both not to be used ? With NCM 7.0 not including the possibility to create an "Import from NCM" scheduled job anymore, it is unclear whats…

This difference is explained here.

Hi muhammad.nazakat, The first place to check would be the this one: Network Tools, IT Management Software & Monitoring Tools | SolarWinds. You will find here information about products, and also contacts for sales related queries. Kind regards, Maria

Is this a change fro 8.1? Is there a bug we need to open? 

 No need to uninstall. Just install over the top. The fact that its a whole install is a side effect of our licensing system. Most of the files are the same, so when you install over the top, only the files impacted by licensing will be updated.

i was getting similar errors, but i have upgraded to APM 3.1 NPM 9.5.1 install all windows updates problems now gone away... not sure which item got rid of the problem, except i think APM3.1 was unrelated...

Does the "Solarwinds Alerting Service" pertain to the advanced alerting only? Correct. Generally, during a maintenance window, users unmanage the devices, so no new data comes in to trigger any alerts.

Hi, I think this is a coincidence, when an upgrade takes places all of the old alerts that have triggered may still be there. It sounds like you may have a bit of work to do evaluating each alert and dealing with the alerts accordingly. Adam @acmtix

Sounds like you'll need to enter the NCM credentials here. The default Administrator name is "Administrator"...not "Admin" as in NPM.

This is a known issue we're addressing in SP1. The workaround is to update the VMConfigFile column data type to varchar(250) from varchar(100). It is in the VirtualMachines table. I don't have an exact date for SP1 at this point, but it should be soon.

Yes, we are planning to add this functionality to an upcoming release. No firm dates yet, but we're talking months, not next year. Denny LeCompte Sr. Product Manager, Orion SolarWinds

With 8.5.1, you should keep your custom speeds. 

Check out the timestamps - it looks like either the time/timezone on your LEM appliance isn't set or it differs from your Orion system sending the trap. Due to that huge delta, the rules won't fire because they think that data is too far outside of the normal activity window. This KB might help (it applies to incidents as…

we have a process in our company were all the alerts get reviewed (the significant ones anyway) and I would like to request an action be added in the Alerts configuration to display the Alert on the console where it can be ack'd by a human or by the reciept of a clearing trap or message. Also provide the option to keep the…

Are you adding a Group (Build > Groups) for rules/filters or a User (Build > Users) for logging in to LEM? It sounds like the latter, but wanted to double check.

Gareth- I don't believe there is a later version than 8. Version 8 was a big update for us as it supported Server 2003 X64 versions. I am betting the next version will support Server 2008 including core builds....though I'm not entirely sure how feasable that is....Server Core doesn't get along with .NET. Who knows.
