You can do this today. You need to write a SQL Script to update the Applications and Service Ports. For all of the unmonitored ports, name it with port number. You'll be monitoring 65k+ ports. One consequence of this strategy is that you will not discard any traffic, which may impact your storage requirements.

We would like the ability to add our own statuses and color codes for example....Static Networked printers -brown, video conference systems - blue. We would also like the ability to specify which SNMP strings are associated with which subnet so that the system doesn't have to go through 3 community strings before it gets…

I created a batch file that I run from a priveledged command prompt which acknowleges my events. It looks like this: sqlcmd -S <SQLServerIPHere\Instance> -E -d netperfmon -Q "update Events set Acknowledged=1" And if you want to acknowlege Syslog events sqlcmd -S <SQLServerIPHere\Instance> -E -d netperfmon -Q "update syslog…

 Interface availability reports aren't possible today, but it's on the roadmap.

BTW, I only got .exe install package on local side. Will it be a trouble?

I personally would not use NCM for this. I think you would be better suited using a real programming/scripting language like pyexpect/perl/expect. All of these would be better suited for this task.

Yes, we definitely plan to add support. I can't give you a date, but it's pretty high on our list.

I am starting to think that this is an issue of they cant/dont want to fix this enough to compete with IPAM which is the product they want you to buy sepatatly to get all these nice bells and whisles. 

 Alterego is correct. We can't monitor Exchange queues in v1, but we're planning to provide a more generic WMI monitor in the next version of APM. Which version of Exchange are you using; MSFT made some big changes w/r/t WMI in 2007.

 All variables are documented in the AG, both APM and NPM.

It's pretty much the same as 8.0 to 8.1, so check out this tutorial. www.solarwinds.com/.../SolarWindsOrion8.0to8.1upgrade.html 

When you say Critical and Warning, are you looking at APM alerts? Or IPSLA?

I'm not sure about the HP switches you mention, but NetFlow is not supported on servers. Denny LeCompte Sr. Product Manager, Orion SolarWinds

I had the same problem. I had to provide credentals with administrative (not read only) priv. I also had to open a case with SolarWinds. Apparently the install of NCM did not complete successfully. All my downloads hung in "Initializing" state forever.

 Could you explain what you mean about "need to keep the original server running"? I can think of several ways to interpret that statement. It will affect the kind of advice you get.

What specifically do you want to monitor?

That's a challenging request. Node details resources get their scope from the node. Showing other nodes is somewhat unnatural. You could create a set of reports that show the nodes for each custom property. There's a resource that can show a list of reports. You could then easily get to the appropriate node list from any…

you need to stop continuously ignoring these as they pop up. All you are doing is filling the ignore table with more crap that will never purge. learn how many are normally there for the windows devices and just pass over them. The problem stems from windows servers coming up from reboot with new interfaces that dont get…

Not yet. We're going to add an IPAM module to EOC in the near future.

This has been really helpful Thank you all (I created local share with a depth of 1 and it works)

I find creating multiple discoveries that run sequentially works best. I usually go with about five subnets per discovery if there is a lot going on in the subnets.

I'd love to see the tutorial, I'm trying to do something very similar in my test environment. I basically need an alert to display on desktop machines when a node goes down or comes up, so that the desktop operators are alerted directly when that event occurs as opposed to relying on them to review the Nodes with Problems…

No, they're 3500XL's. They don't have the newer stackwise stuff that the 3750's do. They use the stack cables on the front that take up a gbic slot.

Any other suggestions? I am at the point of a reinstall and would like to avoid if possible. Many thanx -michael

Drew, I acomplished something like this by using 3 CP's, Normal, Warning, and High and wrote a SQL job to check the circuit utilization and populate the appropriate CP. For example, if the % was less than 70% it would put the value in the Normal CP. If it was above 90% it would put the value in the High CP otherwise it was…

That requires a change to NPM. It's coming later this year.

Are the WS5100 and Symbol APs fully supported yet?

The current release is 8.0.1; there is no 8.0.6. I would suggest that you allow the Orion 8 installer to uninstall 7.8 for you. Some users have had issues when they manually uninstall 7.8. Denny LeCompte Sr. Product Manager, Orion SolarWinds

I couldn't agree more. All three of those items are top priority features for APM.

1. Yes. It is a manual process because owners of the rules must be contacted to verify they are still needed. There are a lot of procedures/processess that must be in place for things like PCI compliance, ISO 27001 etc. 2. Same as #1. 3. Way too much. Probably consumes 40+ man hours every quarter just for one Firewall…
