  • it looks like i may have to go to custom property as well - this is just not working out. you'd think it would be easier than this with the way the Property lists are presented along with the Conditions to use. i did try your suggestion of this: Suppress Alert when all of the following apply Node Status is not equal to Up…
  • Andy, Thanks for checking this out - yes, it is consistent with what i am seeing. if Orion 9 is due out this summer then i can certainly wait for that added feature. this would fall in line with my schedule. thanks again
  • what i had in mind was something that looked like this when you right click a node, interface or volume. as it is now, if you right click, all you get are the toolset items. i was looking to include Open new tab, Open new window...along with those toolset items.
  • thanks - i'll take care of that... by the way - does Orion automatically see where the IP MANAGEMENT htm file can be found or did you custom html it? if you did a Custom HTML view, how did you do that?
  • mich, i almost gave up on this but i finally got my vbscripts working. in all my vbs scripts i use the "/cmd /c" to use or call another external .exe. all i had to do was relocate that .exe into the command path, in my case, c:\windows\system32 - and once i did that it started working... good luck to you...
  • say you have Node names like - Branch1-Rtr or Interface names like - Branch1-Rtr-Serial0 and SmallOffice1-Rtr or Interface names like SmallOffice1-Serial0 when you go into the area of EDIT then go to FILTER NODES (or FILTER INTERFACE) use this syntax: Nodes.Caption LIKE 'Small%' or Nodes.Caption LIKE 'Small%' OR…
  • you're probably right, you'll need a Custom Property - i haven't gotten there yet - i've only just started using Solarwinds. but one last try...what if you build on that Filter? NOT (Status LIKE '*' AND ResponseTime LIKE '*' AND PercentLoss LIKE '*') AND VendorIcon LIKE '*' OR Nodes.Caption LIKE '*' ....i don't actually…
  • are you using 9996 at your collector or using 2055? mine uses 2055 not 9996. that's the first thing i see here. your version's seem to match. also, one other thing is it does not show is any nde collectors in your output (i think that is, mls nde interface).
  • if i include the NODE STATUS it works - but for only one node name at a time. i see you have two seperate screenshots with two different node names for Alerts. Can this suppression be done for multiple Node Names with only one condition for Node Status within the same Alert? i'm trying the logic, but it doesn't appear to…
  • does anything in APM have to be included as a NODE first in NPM? how would I use a URL to MSN.COM for this solution? I assume you mean to use HTTP as the App? but when I attempt this it prompts for ASSIGN NODE. then the only choices are those MONITOR NODES in the Node List present from what is inside of NPM. thanks...
  • Thanks - i'll wait for your reply...
  • michelfarah, i'd be curious if any of those above mentioned threads help you out - because - i've been testing my vbscripts too and i'm having the same issue. i'll be trying a few of those suggested threads and get back to this topic...
  • it is possible i have this same need for a silent install..........anybody done this yet?
  • jkennedy, what do you think the EXECSTRING would need to be to use Internet Explorer's OPEN LINK IN NEW WINDOW and OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB? this is something which bugs me when i'd rather use one of these instead of actually executing something on the toolset list.
  • that didn't work....but you did help me solve my problem... this is what worked - I changed your AND to an OR... Nodes.Caption LIKE 'HQ%' OR Nodes.Caption LIKE 'STATE%' Thanks again
  • i did not or have not included the NODE STATUS check. i guess i missed that being a condition somewhere along the way. i'll include this check and conduct a few tests and get back later. thanks.
  • i have a colleague arguing that a circuit with very little utilization should always have fast response times, but i differ with that. we have an shared MPLS circuit - sharing a 12Mbps link. this one site uses only 10% of the link but has high Response Times, which is my concern for SNMP monitoring this remote site. thanks.
  • it has been a long time since i fought this same battle, but if i can recall - if you are getting a lot of these 'authentication' traps then something out in your network is attempting to use SNMP to your servers and it is using the wrong SNMP community string when it is using SNMP GET. have you tried putting a sniffer out…
  • i'd like to know the answer to this as well - it is greatly needed on maps.
  • brian, just checking...but should your company use another product like web management from the company named CA (Computer Associates) then that product includes a Web Traffic Analyzer reporter. it works great for exactly what you've mentioned, using the IIS logs. i've made some reports myself and it includes those nice…
  • what's your experience been with using the forwarder so far? i need some way to know all the servers logged into from a domain user account. so i am wondering if this Event Forwarder to Solarwinds SYSLOG console would be the solution and then perhaps use SQL Reporter to build reports. anybody out there using something…
  • the ENG TOOLSET documents something like this, which might work for you. i guess it depends on if you have both installed the ENG TOOLSET and then go browsing on ORION's website to the Node and right click to use SSH instead of TELNET. See ENT TOOLSET Admin Guide/PDF - Use Browse Page 72 (aka doc page 56)
  • ...what can i say? i found the answer myself on MSDN. if anyone needs a jump start with something like this then let me know. it deals with SQL 'Predicates' and their order.
  • if you EDIT "Nodes with Problems", would a FILTER like this in the area of FILTER NODES work? NOT (Status LIKE '*' AND ResponseTime LIKE '*' AND PercentLoss LIKE '*')
  • what is your output for "sh mls nde" ?
  • ...I know this is no help to you, but i get the same results. Anything with Time Period in HOURS seems to always get "Chart Error - No Data" Anything outside Time Period of HOURS gets "Report Loading Cancelled" (Refresh your browser (F5) to try again.) or else I occasionally get a few correct graphs with only one or two…
  • i've been told Orion does not work with AD. however, the NPM admin guide, page 256, discusses using IIS NT Pass-through authentication. this sounds interesting, but i have not tried it yet. i use the straight and bland Manage Accounts in Orion website.
  • i'm just getting started with APM - but - is the sky the limit? i'm already monitoring Processes/Services - building a few profiles for unique servers, which is going well...but i'd like to monitor: 1. files - their changes in size and date/time stamps 2. directories - their changes in size and date/time stamps 3. be able…
