Here is a quick suggestion. It would be nice if the down node web component had the same tree functionality as the node tree web object. 

Any plans to support more than one item on a graph?

Is it still the case that if you own the SLX version of Orion that you have to purchase the SLX versions of the modules? I currently am in a pickle with my boss since Solarwinds *upgraded* all of our modules to be the SLX versions to match our NPM. This is true for NTA and VoIP Monitor, but not for APM. For instance, I…

Will complex scenarios be supported or is this a one for one relationship between a single syslog message received and an identified interface? ie. syslog message containing X from devices A & B and syslog message containing Y on device C received within a specified time frame will result in a positive trigger on specified…

I have created groups in the Orion Console representing the Companies we monitor. I have then assigned the nodes the nodes to the respective company group. I would like to generate a report of the SAM licenses that are being used by that "Group (Company)" so that I can bill the customer more appropriately from the number…

What about being able to create a list of "interesting" interfaces based on device type and automatically add only those interfaces for monitoring? Also, what about being able to periodically re-evaluate this list and add any new interfaces that match the "interested" list?

Looking for other ways to improve performance, I noticed under the DB properties for the two Solarwinds databases (NPM and NCM) that the "full-text indexing" option is checked. Some DBAs I've talked to said to turn that off and it should improve performance. Is there any requirement for the Solarwinds databases to have…

I am sure it has been said before.. but ill mention it again.. being able to graph multiple sources on a single graph is important. Has there been any discussion on this? Im thankful that solarwinds allows me access to the raw data so that i can generate these graphs with ms sql but frankly the less i need to work with a…

That seems like an OK way to do this. Did you find a better solution? I believe you could use the SQL user experience monitor to do this too.

Are you using a supported PFC? When configuring NetFlow, follow these guidelines and restrictions: • The CEF table (and not the NetFlow table) implements Layer 3 switching in hardware. •In PFC3B or PFC3BXL mode with Release 12.2(18)SXE and later releases, NetFlow supports bridged IP traffic. PFC3A mode does not support…

I spent some more time trying to get this to work for a 2012 instance but was unsuccessful. After the monitoring login is removed from sysadmin and added to 'MonitorRole' (below), the 'Table Tuning Advisor' form stops working properly. It is unable to display the 'Current Table Information:' area in the bottom half of the…

This thread should help you. http://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/166819#166819

Did Solarwinds support provide a solution to the SWJobSchedulerSvc memory leak problem? We seem to be having the same issue on our NPM 10 SP1 system.

Hi Dont know if this would work for you, but have used it in other environments. Send the syslog to a UDP reflector which is configured to send to the UNIX syslog server as well as Orion syslog collector. So Cisco device -----> UDP reflector ---------------> UNIX syslog collector ---------------> Orion syslog collector…

I tend to agree with NasaGeek.... yet I hesitate to flame Solarwinds on their forum as they tend not to like that. I too have been frustrated with SW tech support and their slow resolutions (if any) and lack of responsiveness. Each day I hope that it will be better.... - The eternal optimist.....

Hi there, Would it be possible to add the ability to assign thresholds specifically to disk volumes and also to memory and CPU? This would be a big win with my company! Thanks, Chris.

Right now, we mostly just look at all the buttons and drool because we inherited a SW project started a year ago that got dropped on it's head faster than a trailer park baby. (My Apologies in advance) for lack of PC.

i have to jump in an stand up for solarwinds.. we have a fairly large install, and i agree it does not scale great unless you are willing to expand your hardware drastically as the implementation grows... that said, if you are willing to let solarwinds support onto your system, and nose about to dint he cause of…

Hey Matt, There's no limitation on the virtual console at this time, though there is a password required to access the same thing via SSH (and you can whitelist SSH access). The simplest thing to do, which is what a lot of people are doing, is to limit who can access the VM/console in the first place. Barring that, we'd…

We have been using many SW products for many years, but we cut our teeth on NPM shortly followed by NCM. We, like most others, use them in conjunction for monitoring performance combined with backing up, logging, and monitoring configuration changes on all of our Cisco gear. (We also use NTA, SAM, Virtualization Manager,…

 The VMware may be enough, but it only handles the situation where the entire VMware server goes down. If the poller stops working for any reason while the server is still up and running, then you'll lose data. I'm not advocating that you buy the HSE. I just wanted to point out why it's not completely redundant. It would…

+1 Million Please keep up posted. I didn't see any progress in the "What we are working on" section.

I hate this error. You can try clearing the cached flash object in this thing: Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage ... and your browser cache. Sometimes it's as simple as restarting your browser and/or shift+refreshing. It's some kind of cached object that differs from the one that is on the server.

Bump

 Good suggestion.

You should set your thresholds based on your environment. If you get alerts, yet you have no problems, but them up.

lchance, good luck getting this to work. I have been trying to get this to work (external program) for months - to no avail. I have tried all tips/tricks posted on Thwack... I have been working with senior support folks who said that this is being looked at by development and I am waiting on the edge of my seat for a…

Alex, Did you ever get any information on this. I am having the same issue.

I wish I had an answer for you, but unfortunately I'm just trying to figure out how to interact with the SW API using JavaScript myself. Quick question, maybe you know the answer: If I have to include username and password info in my ajax request, would I put it in the data field? data{ "username":"Bob",…

I have not been able to find a way to force settings in those fields, only whether they are required/editable or not. However, I have done some mass cleanup of Client information in the past by searching for them all in Client View, then exporting them all to Excel. In Excel, you can edit the phone number field, add the…
