I am having the exact same problem. It seems that there is a correlation between when these blank configs are downloaded and when the WAN out to the location of the node has had problems, which makes sense if the download is interrupted. What doesn't make sense is that Cirrus in the first place acknowledges blank configs…

They can't! As far as I know, they can only go red if the node or interface they represent is down. Lars Grabowski Global Infrastructure Chr.

I think it would be very appropriate! So, what was the answer? quote:Originally posted by mickc Hi, Placed a support call & got the answer I needed (very quickly too!). Not sure if it's appropriate to post it here though? mick Lars Grabowski Global Infrastructure Chr. Hansen A/S

I agree compleletely. I have exactly the same issues, and initially hoped that setting a long node warning interval could eleviate this but unfortunately it is a quite common occurance in our setup that alert suppression gets it wrong. I haven't thought it through, but wouldn't it be great if the dependencies would read of…

OK, regarding #2: On the new platform where the webserver was installed it was put on the D: drive. It looks like Orion is expecting it on the C: drive, but when we put in the path tto the Network Performance Monitor V7 directory it publsihed just fine again. (We still have to have the problems with the filtering of nodes…

BEfore reinstalling it you could try to re-run the Configuration Wizard Lars Grabowski Global Infrastructure Chr.

Hi I upgraded from 6.4 to 7 yesterday and everything worked fine except for the fact that the traffic graphs for interfaces just come up blank since the time of the upgrade (memory and cpu-graphs updates fine). I'm going to be talking to Solarwinds later today, and I hope to get this thing sorted real quick, so I can get…

Filipv, I know what you mean, but what I was trying to find a way to make simpler was how to create the four custom icons (one for Unknown, Up, Down and Warning each) without having to create them all one by one... Lars Grabowski Global Infrastructure Chr. Hansen A/S Currently using: Cirrus Version 2.1 DL-500 Feb. 2006…

...any ideas as to make the icons refelct node/interface/volume status? I mean, I have done it manually but it is a painstakingly cumbersome process of creating the four differently coloured but otherwise identical icons, renaming them, moving them to the webserver and so forth. Not the most vital of features to have, but…

We're using a really great tool from Zonith (Alarm Control System). Apart from being able to convert alarms to SMS or WAP PUSH, it also distributes the alarms to our IT-staff globally based on skills and geography. It can even handle escalations and acknowledgements although we aren't using that part of the product. I also…

I am getting a very high number of that event type also. I have no idea what it's about, but would be grateful to get an answer also... Lars Grabowski Global Infrastructure Chr. Hansen A/S

...forgot one thing: When an alert for some reason is acting up or something in the definitions need to be changed, it is so hard to find the actual alert definition as described above. Therefore, all of our alert definitions have the follwing variable set at the end of the text: ${Alert name}. That way it will be easier…

I tried the same, because the listing of alerts in Orion is just horrible. I believe they are listed after some invisible alertID. The total absence of any sorting of the alert definitions (for example by columns or by filtering) makes it a nightmare to find a specific alert (among our 250-300 definitions) or to make sure…

Maybe related? Some of the config files I download with our Cirrus trial are empty/blank. I have read in the forum that there are some issues with file type associations that will be fixed in the next release, but I don't think that this is related as many of the configs downloaded are OK. All the files that are blank are…

We're in 25 countries on 4 continents and I've always found what I needed in (outline) maps for my map-maker on: www.worldatlas.com/.../maps.htm ...and it's free! /Lars Lars Grabowski Global Infrastructure Chr. Hansen A/S

We really needed a heartbeat sent to our on-call staff three times a day and in order for it to also indicate that Orion was running OK, we made it check the throughput on the NIC between for example 14:00 and 14:02 and trigger an Alert/SMS if utilization was more than 0Kbps. Works really well, but requires that you have…

I'd like to know how you got to seeing anything at all. I've got 1200s exclusively (currently 80+) but I don't get ANYTHING on any of the graphs.

...and lohelle was kind enough to also host these screenshots so you can all see them! Enjoy... Lars Grabowski Global Infrastructure Chr. Hansen A/S

OK! lohelle is now hosting a quicktime video of the Google Earth / Orion Integration on http://download.asp24.no/SANY0174.MOV. It's a very poor resolution, recorded with a digital camera, but I did that to not disclose IP-addresses and so on and to keep file size low. Despite of that, it's a massive 87MB, so be patient.…

Mithrilhall, Could you please tell me how you post screenshots here and I will do so with examples of the integration. Thanks! I have made a movie clip (poor resolution) hope that lohelle will make it available for you all to see. Lars Grabowski Global Infrastructure Chr. Hansen A/S

I have created a video clip (1-2 minutes) but it's about 100MB and it's a bit jerky because recording in itself is demanding when my PC has to spin the earth around at the same time. Does anybody have an idea of where I could upload this video for you to see? Lars Grabowski Global Infrastructure Chr. Hansen A/S

Sorry I have taken so long to reply. I'd love to post some screenshots, but I can't see how I do that in this forum. I'm sure it's pretty straight-forward but I just can't find out how and the forum help says that files cannot be attached. Any ideas? Lars Grabowski Global Infrastructure Chr. Hansen A/S

AFAIK you need an additional polling engine (quite costly) placed in US to do what you're asking for.
