I tried to install the RC 12.1 but during install I Need to enter a valid License, which I don't have. Eval is exipred due to earlier Tests with beta. How do I reset the eval lic?

It's a bit of a hack, but it's possible: Edit the file “C:\Inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\js\NetObjectTips.js” and remove the following lines: $("a[tooltip!='processed'][href*='NetObject=']").livequery(function() { this.tooltip = 'processed'; $.swtooltip(this); });

Network_Guru, You said that tracking logins to a server was a requirement on your group. Who generated the requrirement? Security team? Regulatory compliance/auditors? Understanding that can help us to figure how widely such a feature would apply. Thanks, Denny Denny LeCompte Sr. Product Manager, Orion SolarWinds

Ok, well, sorry folks. Turns out I was forbidden. SOMEONE forgot to give me appropriate permissions on the box on which Orion is hosted.

Well, apparently I was behind a firewall. Unfortunately, I'm now behind it and still getting the dang 403. EDIT 1: Just found out the 17778 port has been opened, so the above firewall issue.. shouldn't be [an issue].

anyone???

 You will need to manually move your nodes to the new poller, which is how Orion sees it. Once you've done that, you can delete the old poller from the Engines table in the DB.

Yes, if they're orphaned, the best wya is to clearn via the database.

I'd like to have the facility to add a "reason for..." note to an event/alert. E.g. when I receive a "NODE rebooted at 16/08/2011 03:22" alert, I'd like to go in and have somewhere to put "Fred pulled the power cord" so that I can generate a report each month showing all the reasons for that months reboots. I don't think…

Is there a way to have Orion pull and graph data from a CSV file? No. Orion doesn't include a general-purpose graphing tool.

look in the properties of the SNMP service.

Orion doesn't know what to do with those files because you do not need to compile the MIB files for Orion to use the Custom MIB poller. All you need is the OID. Enter the OID, and Orion will poll it. For ESX and some other devices, you may have issues because the current poller doesn't support MIB Tables. The new poller to…

You can use View Limitations to create a view that has only the devices you want. 

Hi Steven, its difficult to provide a complete list of path configurations, because they can be on any windows drive essentially. I want to monitor a few log directory sizes, as if they bloat it often indicates a problem. These directories can be on whatever drive a customer chooses, so its difficult to provide anything…

Hi Steven, This sounds like an ideal solution; I'm completely new to SolarWinds and Powershell, any advice/help you can offer would be very much appreciated, thanks!

The component monitors for HTTP, HTTPS, ports, and DNS user experience do not care whether the target is Linux or Windows. What do you mean by "services"? Do you mean processes? If so, the SNMP process monitor will work just fine on Linux. Use the AppBuilder to browse to the target Linux box, and you can browse a list of…

Hi and welcome! 1) Open SWNetPerfMon.DB (default location is C:\Program Files\Solarwinds\Orion\) with a text editor, this file will tell you the name of the SQL server you are connected to and the read/write credentials. 2) Config Wizard can build a new database: Start> Programs > Solarwinds Orion > Configuration Wizard…

Hi mstyler​, A good place to start would be the Library & Support space where you can find documentation and training material for all Solarwinds products. Have a look as well at the Video section of thwack. Just filter by the Product Category to narrow down the topic your interested in. Let me know if you have any…

We use RDL and generate reports via direct queries. I have found this to be the best way to have a single step process that generates consistent reports.

Byrona, UnDP pollers should continue working if you move nodes over with the load balancing tool. Instead of the querying happening from your "main" poller, it will happen from the additional poller. It may take a few minutes for the UnDP's to "move", but they will pick up the change and handle it correctly.

* Edit boxes for widgets may or may not work. So, for example, when I tried to get the "Search for Nodes" widget to work properly I selected the "Edit" button. This does nothing but return me to the home page again. Are you an Admin when you see this? This is the behavior we see you would see when you click Edit and are…

 William, I've entered all of these as bugs. We'll investigate. Thanks for reporting them. Denny

I'm not sure I understand the question. When you upgrade 8.5.1 to 9.x, the web console is automatically upgraded. What do you mean by "export"? Can you elaborate on what you're trying to do?

I have a similar problem to the one shown here. We have a network of 3750 switches that won't do NetFlow, so we set up SPAN ports and pushed the traffic to a Linux box. The Linux box is using SoftFlowd to format the NetFlow stream and send it to my Orion NTA server. When I run a WireShark capture, I get something similar…

Sorry for the late post to this.... vacation. Anyway, I opened a ticket for the NCM job issue - I simply had to disable then enable the jobs in question and then start them then they ran. On the SSH issue - it is still an unknown. Out of 4 servers upgraded I have only one not working correctly. The SSH login box pops up…

Troiken, With that data here, there's not enough to say why it isn't working. I suggest you open up a support case and they should be able to get you up and running in no time.

I don't think there are any native Windows libraries to allow vbscript to talk to an NTP server, so you could either install something like www.activexperts.com/.../ and use that in a vbscript, or possibly install ActivePerl and use PerlScript.

Thanks for your feedback Yet I think what you said it true.. Only reason not to go for Visualization Manager is the cost Anyway thanks once again

Hi 1a61, You might want to check out this thread Re: Multiple interface charts for single device on one page.? Hope it helps.

Yes it will, well, at least it did for me!
