When you set the DB retention to 1-year, the values you see on a node details page (e.g., CPU, Memory, Disk, Response time, packet loss) will all be stored for a year. 

Our current views are pretty standard, mostly because we don't have much spare time to customize them. I would really like to hear what others are doing and maybe some nifty things that we could implement that would save time and / or effort. 

It's stored in SWNetPerfMon.db in the Orion subfolder of your install, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Solarwinds\Orion\SWNetPerfMon.db (remove the (x86) for 32bit OS) It's a plain-text file, just open it with Wordpad. Andy.

Trigger condition is set to same as reset. Set the reset to node = down.

It is a shame you can't add forecasting functionality into a standard disk report, that way you would have the flexibility to display the metrics you want plus add a forecast section into the report too. Something for solarwinds to think about... I'm doing some forecasting in Excel at the moment because of the limitations…

I am in the same boat. Would it be possible to see an example of your template please?

Yes! ;-) 

It should be in your portal. You need to open a ticket for customer service.

Just had exactly the same issue using Cirrus 3.5 and Orion 8.02. The fix posted by Mike McCartney worked a treat.

not a fix but helps out > Batches for each www4.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp

Just got this from support If Cirrus 3.5 has been installed, this is to do with a copy of a dll file being registered in the wrong directory. File name is SWDiscoveryServices8.dll To fix this go to a DOS prompt and do the following…this will unregister it in the wrong subdirectory and re-register it in the correct…

How did you get the gif images to have transparent background? When I paste my gifs into network atlas the transparent part turns to black or white. I'm also interested in how to make the network map more accurate like an html image map coordinates. Any update?

Hi, I've got the same issue but on 3 Windows servers. All three show a peak of 32767 % with an average of 32767%, 8230% and 2570%. I've just moved to 10.3 and when I ran these reports last month didn't get this. Thanks Jase

 The alert needs to be "Reset". That will depend on the conditions that were set in the definition of the advanced alert. Typically, people set the reset condition to be NOT the trigger condition. So if you trigger when a Node is DOWN. Then Reset when the Node is not DOWN or Reset when Node is UP. If you can't get it to…

 Did you upgrade from Cirrus 3.5 ? I had RTCN working wonderfully in 3.5, but since upgrading to 4.0 I have not received one notification. Syslog events are logged for me as well, but the RTN log doesn't even have an entry. I created a ticket in December and received an E-mail last week saying that my ticket has gone to…

this is going to sound wierd but i think you will have to re-install NPM to be able to un-install any of the rest. APM, IP SLA, NTA all of these ride on top of NPM so you will need to un-install them prior to taking NPM off. as far as NCM is concerned if you installed it and made it interact with the NPM server then when…

In most cases, we use the industry standard MIB: www.faqs.org/.../rfc2790.html

Thanks Don!!! I'm on it.

NG...already have. Just not making much progress with SW at this point. They are working on it with us. This has been going on for several weeks now.

We're seeing 2 Application Errors on both pollers we have (v7.5). In the Application Event Log are these entries...then the NPM service restarts. Event Type: Error Event Source: Application Error Event Category: (100) Event ID: 1000 Date: 1/19/2005 Time: 3:19:39 AM User: N/A Computer: NOCPERF2 Description: Faulting…

we are searching for some experience with upgrade from NCM 7.2.2 .... did anyone the upgrade? - What will happen with the single databases after merging to a single one?

I have been running it since RC without serious issues. As far as user experience.... MUCH better speed wise.

and it would be great if we could clear alerts from the web interface after we've ack'd them In the alerts view, you can hide acknowledged alerts. What do you mean when you say "Clear"? What else is missing?

That thread shows how to use a custom property to use as a filter (in this case we used CustomerName) for the view. Sledgehammer as the fly swatter. What I would like to see is this functionality pushed to the node/interface management level so that we can be more granular on alerts.

Here you go : Define a custom statistic to monitor

Quick way to do this is to integrate an html resource window into your Solarwinds view. Its not perfect but it works.

Hi ecklerwr1, This is a known issue and definitely not a problem with your profile or points. We are working with our platform vendor to resolve it as soon as possible. In the meantime, please accept our apologies for this mismatch. Kind regards, Maria

your trigger will only fire if ALL of the servers are down as you have it here. i think you may want to change it a bit to be like this... Trigger event when all of the following are true: field Node Status = down Trigger Alert when ANY of the following are true: Node_Name = AAA Node_Name = BBB try that and see if you have…

I found out today that Juniper uses custom MIBS and Solarwinds/Orion does not support anything that is not outside of the standard. They can add custom MIBS, but I am told by their support that it would be very hard to get Solarwinds to do that. My company has put in a completely new WAN/LAN using Juniper and now that…

I know there are some weird issues with getting the dashboards to show up sometimes due to cookie issues but in my new setup I went to Settings in NPM then virtualization settings and set it up there and I didn't have any major issues. Also make sure if you changed the port it uses put that port in the integration section,…
