Hey Gavin, First, have you tried using the "Add Node" wizard to have it scan your syslog and suggest the right connector? It'll scan through your logs and match against the connectors to try to figure out what goes where. Next, I am not quickly finding what/whether a connector matches up, so if in doubt that there is a…

This should be fixed in 8.5, which is due out in a few weeks. 

This would require me to have the functionality to define which pollers will monitor which nodes as only the new polling engine will be able to route between the two networks. This would be similar to how Nagios would exchange information between servers with NRPE. Is this possible with Orion or would we need to purchase…

I think I know what you're asking... I do this from an nDepth search within LEM. On the Monitor tab, you should see a filter for "Rule Activity" in the Overview section. Highlight it and then click the gear icon on top and choose send to nDepth. (otherwise just start a new nDepth search for "InternalRuleFired"). Now you…

 Map Maker does not support placing UnDP's on a map. I'll get this added as a feature request.

Not exactly related, but we currently use the Perl Datastore monitor for one aspect of inner ESX monitoring, but also will be rolling out a Perl Hardware status script (both use the VMware API). So anything SW can't do, you should be able to do via Perl API (if someone there knows Perl). (linking it in via APM Script…

Did you try the connector for Astaro by chance? We haven't corrected the name. (Now that I think about it, I saw a request to rename the connector and you might be the reason... )

Can you share the screen shot, about what data you are exploring ? Please share the details.

Hi ">jbehrmann, hi to everybody, I have same error on my NPM 10.2 server. I opened many ticket and applied many solutions but I continue to retrieve same issue. I heard about a 10.2.2 patch...where I can obtain this? Thanks

NPM does not have the abililty to dynamically remove monitored elements. While this is a nuiesence there are some understandable complexities. (Hint to Solarwinds multiple select is really needed in the NPM) The only option is to delete the offending element that is no longer valid. This has to be done from the NPM System…

go under admin and then manage nodes. from there you will be able to select the interface that no longer exists and delete it.

Add it and unmanage it in NPM.

Counter pollers do that for you. They work out the delta and divides by the number of seconds between the two polls. A poller currently uses the node(or interface) statistics polling interval, so if you're looking for shorter time periods, you'll want to drop this down. I wouldn't recommend dropping it to 10 seconds…

If you set it to 120 days, when database mainteance runs, it will delete everything older than than 120 days, and the data won't show anywhere anymore.

Run as service would be very useful. We currently use the old Win NT support program which allows you to create a service and run TFTP server using that. Its called srvany and the KB article is here: support.microsoft.com/.../137890 Hope this helps in the meantime.

 Just a guess--if you're using WMI in your templates, you may not have your credentials configured.

I think it's possible, but I'm not sure what your goal is. You are checking every 5 minutes, but you want the alert to be fired only if the server is down for more than 5 minutes. The alert "checks" to see if the node is down. As you've described it, it would have to be down for 10 minutes for the alert to fire. Is that…

Did you know if you go to the Report Writer, click New, you can create a custom report of type "Active Alerts". That should allow you to do what you want more easily.

You need to put a few spaces before the IP address. That's true for all of the lines in that text file: Settings Auto Select Subnets = False Auto Select Subnet Size = 17 PING Timeout = 2000 Max Concurrent PINGs = 350 Inter PING Delay = 100 PINGs Per IP Address = 2 SNMP Timeout = 1500 SNMP Retries = 2 Max Concurrent SNMP =…

Dynamic custom properties seems like a great idea. Problem with my idea is that I understand (could be wrong) that the custom properties will be phased out in favour of tags as in APM. I"m not sure from where this suggestion originates, but there are no plans, no plans whatsoever, to phase out custom properties. I repeat,…

support.microsoft.com/.../842382 Could also be a dangerous trjoan, backdoor, etc.

Figured out the solution: * In trigger condition, enable complex conditions* * For node/interface/custom poller instance select all interfaces you want in this alert. In my case I selected all VPN tunnel interfaces * Set "Alert can be triggered if _____ objects (at the same time) have met the specified condition and then…

 In the 'View Options' combo box at the top of the chart, select 'View Chart Data'. Is there actually data there for items? There's a chance the values are fairly small compared to the others in the chart so they appear as 0. What's the y-axis range on the chart?

I am revisiting this again..... I am trying to get sounds to play on a remote laptop when an alert is tripped. I have tested this from a command prompt on the Orion server and it works great - sounds plays on laptop. Now when I type this into Execute an External Program (c:\bin\audio.bat) for the alert action it shows the…

Executing external programs is actually working. It's running the program you requested it to. It's just that it no longer has the permissions requires to connect to the remote machine and execute that command. The alert engine runs under the Local System account. When an action runs, in runs as this user. I've never seen…

One other thing to keep an eye on... Make sure the account the Alerting service is running under(most likely the System account) has access to psexec.exe.

Another one I have done some looking into to augment SolarWinds is AppNetta http://www.appneta.com/ I was oringinaly looking to them for end to end monitoring with remote sensors but now that - that will be possible with Solarwinds upcoming not so much. However, the external cloud to our DMZ internal is still important so…

Dan, Any chance you could shed a little light on the meaning behind the ICMP/SNMP Status Polling Index and ICMP/SNMP Statistics Polling Index. Everything else is pretty straight forward but these remain a bit of a mystery. (to your support staff as well :p)

I think I did manage to figure it out myself I had to add the WMICredential to the NodeSettings, which forced the correlation to work as expected. >> Added a node, then queried the node ID, then added this $newNodeProps = @{ NodeID="$nodeId"; SettingName="WMICredential"; SettingValue="4"; } $newUri2 = New-SwisObject $swis…

It would be great if we could exclude these events from displaying in the Events console until the underlying bug is resolved. Does anyone know if that is that possible?
