Also concerned but I also see how they get pulled into other product lines simply by adding customer feature requests. For the features it's still many many times cheaper up front and with maintenance. Sometimes I think they should stop the feature sprawl and clean up long nagging issues. Customers using SW because of…

Discards could be caused by high utilisation on the interface Errors could be a misconfiguration such as speed/duplex or a layer 1 issue such as cabling etc.

discards are nothing to worry about. In/out errors are usually issues with physical layer connections so if you are getting in/out errors then clean the terminations, reseat the SFPs, replace old cables, move data cables away from RFI emitting devices that kind of stuff to get your errors to go away.

Don...Thanks for the code! This will be helpful to us too. However, Snowjay raises another excellent issue or should I say limitation...there is no way to copy one view to another. This seems easy enough to implement too! We have the need to duplicate Top 10/ Top 25 views but with different filters for several clients but…

we are testing this right now, and would love an answer to this. i figured we might need SW sto do something int he WMI application builder what is port 135 for again? is it rpc or something

in the end, we deleted these jobs though and just let the service desk know they were rebooting and to ignore them, as once this was offered, we got tons of requests for it :-(

The problem is that they're getting polled before you have time to unmanage them. You could possibly run a query and update their status in the database. Denny LeCompte Sr. Product Manager, Orion SolarWinds

i asked for this years ago and no joy. what i had to do instead, is have a custom prop that says "alert on reboot". this is defined as TRUE in the alert trigger. there is a sql job that runs and sets it to false at defined time, and sets back to true after the window at least i think thats what we did, and it should stop…

sure you can. go into map maker and go crazy. Make a site map then make a bunch of smaller maps under it that have different services and such. Figure out how you want the big ones (managment) to see the network and give it to them in bite size segments. As far as passwords that is up to you also. Just give them the link…

SAM will do that. once you get SAM installed you can set a file size monitor to track the size and also alert if you want to.

ONPM is not ready for prime time on 2003 Server. There's a problem with SNMP API and shows all interfaces as down.

me too me too!!!

Ping can't be turned off. Deriving status by SNMP is on the roadmap.

We are in the process of upgrading from Orion 8.5.1 to Orion 9 and currently have Orion on the same server as SQL. I asked senior Solarwinds support for guidance before we upgrade so as to not make any costly mistakes. I was going down the path of using our SQL Enterprise server attached to a SAN (configured with their…

So, let me see if I got this straight - the "WarningMessage" field (probably of a ServiceWarning) alert contains a bunch of stuff, including a string that you are interested in, and you want to extract JUST the part you're interested in to put in an email? If so, unfortunately not. What we could look at doing is updating…

 Yes, you can collect all of that with Orion APM.

Thanks for the info, this is helpful. I think we will go with virtual application server and database on one of the sql clusters.

maybe i missed the boat here but doesnt the new Message Center view give him exacly what he wants? I mean you can have it give you all the events/traps/syslog all on one page now.

looks like an error on the website so should be able to fix it if you run the configuration wizard and select repair

Another odd thing to note that I noticed last night was that all SAM monitors between the hours or 2:00 AM EST and 10:00 AM EST we are all functioning as you would expect. Not sure what this means, but seems very odd.

There is no explicit limit on the amount of syslog/SNMP trap volume per hour with LEM. Without any correlation rules and only storing in the raw log store, we're talking tens of thousands per second. With correlation rules and using connectors to parse the data, we're still talking hundreds on the low end to thousands per…

I missed this last week. Thanks again for the feedback, Chris. We were trying to keep it simple after walking through the installation with a few people who got a little lost, but I understand your situation. A compromise might be a checkbox to use defaults vs. specifying a location on the first page. For licensed…

Relatively speaking, events don't take that much database space.

Bryan, Have you opened a ticket with Support?

Love what you have done. Can you provide more details so I can try to duplicate on my end.

Thank you soo much

I too am seeing this issue on several Orions that have been upgraded.....

No, that should work - its a security group that's required. Here is a document on using AD authentication in Orion and there'a a troubleshooting section at the back: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/orion/docs/UnderstandingOrionADAuthentication.pdf

It's not possible today, but I've taken it as a feature request.
