Thanks for the kind words. They are much appreciated. For the WMI issue, could you try one of the monitors that doesn't work and use the new "Performance Counter Monitor"? It polls the same monitors, but it uses RPC rather than WMI to get the counters. If that works, it might be informative.

Graeme, What you'll want to do is add the Map resource, then go back to your view. Click the Edit button on the resource and you'll be able to select which of your custom maps you want to display. Hope that helps. Thanks, Casey P.S. Congrats on your first post to thwack.

Just double checking, but what version of Orion are you running? In 9.0 and later, there no longer is a service that just handles polling devices for custom values. It was replaced in 9.0 and there are a couple different services that have replaced the functionality.

If I may throw my two cents in... I'm getting complaints from administrators about bogus CPU alerts. Here is my trigger condition. Here are the CPU levels for the same server in Solarwinds and vSphere. SOLARWINDS VSPHERE Solarwinds is spitting out alerts whereas vSphere is not. What's going on here?

So, I'm on 10.0.0, SP1 and planning to upgrade this weekend. If I read this correctly, this is the proper update sequence. 10.1 10.1.1 10.1.1 SP1 10.1.1 HotFix 1 Thanks for any guidance. Rick

I don't think you're missing anything. We may not have a connector built for that detailed source yet. This info sounds incredibly useful, though, and right up our alley to integrate. I'd start a support case to get it integrated and we'll prioritize it in scope with our other pending requests.

It seems there is a redundant row in the Volumes table for this node. If you are comfortable doing this in SQL (Full Backup of database is needed of course) then track down the NodeID of the server in the Nodes table. The open the Volumes table and check for the same NodeID. It will have the old label listed and you can…

All I can say is soon.

Make sure you have process auditing enabled if you want to look for these events - it's off by default in the windows security policy. There's also a builtin rule about monitoring for critical server processes, which uses a list you can add to as well. (Another common one would be to look for a process OTHER than a known…

 Yes. A polling engine is essentially an SLX.

We are planning to add an export function in the next release. Denny LeCompte Sr. Product Manager, Orion SolarWinds

You may want to look at your services and check for any dependencies between any solarwinds services and SQL services. If there are none, i would run the configuration tool again and make sure you are pointing to the remote SQL server

 Good feature, and it's definitely on my roadmap.

Unfortuntely, this isn't possible at present - without some hacking. Even then it might make your Orion install unstable. I'd definitely suggest logging this as a Feature Request with Support as it's a really cool and useful idea! :-) Also its worth posting on this thread:

 Which version are you on?

Thank you all for the responses. I guess I wasn't pointed to these videos when we purchased everything. So far its been trial and error, or calling into Tech Support. Thanks again! Shayne

There are some messages only logged at higher levels (max = 7) that CAN be useful, so based on experience with a lot of customers that's where the initial recommendation got set. Starting at one step down (6) will get you almost everything and I think if you back down from there, you'll get less and less. (Cisco ASA 5500…

This isn't a known bug. Packet loss is calculated via ping, which is blind to device type. Do you get the same data when you look via your VMware tools? Dev suggested that conflicting IPs might cause the problem.

Yes, Goto admin page. Select customize menu bars, select the one you want to add to, click add at bottom of the page, fill in form that pops up, repeat for each view/url

Hi Sotherls, I've just been through this whole horrible experience with PSExec within a batch file. I got it working after a bit of time, here's what I did... the batch file is to remotely using psexec start the "Telnet" service and contains this... "E:\Program Files\Solarwinds\Orion\Scripts\psexec.exe" \\dcrntsp032 net…

Very curious about this also.

We are running 9.5.1 on a seperate SQL 2005 64bit Enterprise SP3 server. Worked on SP2 as well. No problems.

I am also looking into the possibility of sending SNMP traps to SolarWinds to complete the acknowledgement. I was poking around in Trap Viewer, and it appeared that there were two methods to accomplish this: * Using a regex to match the contents of the trap details * Matching the SNMP trap against a series of OIDs that…

Is there a way to get the Notes field to display in the web console under Home > Alerts?

Thanks I suspect I will need to take a look at additonal pollers....

Okay derhally, I was able to get the script working using the xml portion of your solution. This led me to the following code: param($swisTarget,$alertKey,$nodeAlias,$alertGroup)if (!(Get-PSSnapin -Name "SwisSnapin" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){ Add-PSSnapin SwisSnapin -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue}$username =…

Okay, I was able to get the "Invoke-SwisVerb : Verb Orion.AlertStatus.Acknowledge cannot unpackage parameter 0" error to go away by modifying the array to be: $res = Invoke-SwisVerb $swis "Orion.AlertStatus" "Acknowledge" @(,$alertKey,$nodeAlias,$alertGroup) I'm not sure why that got rid of the error, but I saw it done in…

Tested RC 12.1. Very good Performance and Response while remote. Some disturbing Things are still here. Display refresh rate (how I understand it) is slow. Sometimes I can paint on screen Sometimes the remote session is like hanging. No Chance to interact with remote Computer. Need to disconnect and reconnect again.
