Hi Jason, There are a host of tools in the SW Engineer toolsets that allow for the configuration management and maintenance of Cisco gear. Orion is not billed as a management tool. It is a monitoring, reporting, and alerting tool. Be fantastic.

Do you mean OID? If so here it is: The root for what you want is interfaces -> 1.3.6.1.2.1.2 ifInDiscards -> .2.1.13 ifOutDiscards -> .2.1.19 You will have an index value for each one of these OIDs based on the number of interfaces on the device. Be fantastic.

Hello, No. Orion will not monitor the number of associated users on an AP at this time. You could either use the SW toolset to monitor this value or continue to use MRTG and hook the MRTG graphs to your device views in Orion. You could do a little custom HTML to imbed the MRTG graphs on the node page or create a link on…

2020 I think you may want to check your macro variables at: http://www.solarwinds.net/netperfmon/ Click on the Alert Macros link. Trigger and Reset are not on the list.

Hi bmckinley, Yes. You can monitor services running on a Windows box through SNMP. More specifically you monitor the running applications that are exposed by the host resources mib. If you are interested in the details I can send you the specific OID. In order to get this functionality from Orion you have to have the…

Does attention paging software support ascii text files as input? If so does it have a polling mechanism to look at a directory for new text files? If the answer to both these questions is yes you are in good shape. You can simply run a perl or vb script from the execute program portion of the Alert system. If you need…

Hello soap, Have you attempted to use SW engineer tools mib browser or some similar tool to look at the values that your server is displaying for this volume? This may be a problem with the SNMP service on the server rather than an issue with Orion. BTW your OID is: 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3 This is the hrStorageTable. If you…

yes from the settings dialog select alerts select the alert you would like to spawn script execution enter the script command line in the execute program field example c:\winnt\system32\cscript.exe e:\scripts\netmon_alert.vbs ndAlert-${NodeName}.wba "${NodeName} is ${Status}. Identified at ${DateTime}." This windows…

Hi Bryan, I have been attempting to do something similar with a map that details our core connections between three data centers. After looking at the code for the map pages and attempting to make some changes I have discovered two things: 1. I am not a programmer. I am a network goon. 2. It does not appear that maps will…

Hi Russ, If you have the interfaces selected there is not much you can do in terms of eliminating the events caused when the interfaces go up and down (at least that I am aware of). I have had a similar issue with several of our switches that have critical user workstations on them. I monitor the interfaces and receive…

Hi Dave, Welcome to the dark and lonely world of Orion. I have experienced a similar problem with several of my nested maps. By removing one of the nested maps from a parent map and then re-adding it I have solved this problem on several occasions. However, it has not always worked. It would be nice to know if someone else…

Hi mrsald, We are running primarily 1230 access points with 12.3(7)JA2 IOS images. All of my access points are collecting both standard and wireless specific statistics. I have not had any recent issues with Wireless clients not showing up or statistics being either missed or not recorded altogether. I did have similar…

Hello Yasin, This is not something that Orion does at this point. If you are interested in a tool that can pull this off you should look into HP/Compaq Insight Manager or Insight Manager XL. These will expose all of the information related to your array controller. You should have received a copy of Insight Manager with…

Hi a^2, You want to take a look here: http://www2.solarwinds.net/SolarWindsForum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=214&SearchTerms=Net-SNMP It would also be helpful to do a search in the forum for Net-SNMP. You will get a long list of posts regarding this topic. Be fantastic.

Hello gents, I installed the latest and greatest version fo the wireless pack after upgrading Orion to version 7.8.5 All is now well. The wireless management service no longer hangs nor do I have any loss of connectivity to the database. If you haven't upgraded do so now. It will fix this issue and several others related…

Hello nocman, Not at this time. However, the kids at SW are busy working on custom MIB support. When they have this finished you will be able to monitor most vendor specific details. Be fantastic.

Question number 1 - NO Orion does not currently allow the addition of custom mibs. The good news is you are not the first to ask for this capability. Hopefully they will add it to the product in the near future. Question number 2 - NO However, if you load the HOST-RESOURCES mib on your Proliant box you should be able to…

This ones for Mithrilhall, We use this resource for interface data in our default node view 33-InterfaceTraffic.Resource (I think this is the default. If one were to edit the file by adding the following after the last </tr> one could have any of the charts display below the interface line:<tr> <td colspan="7"><img…

Grabowski, We used a combination of the resource for displaying custom properties and crafty text inside custom property fields in the database to integrate many of our outside products: Custom Property field data (each entry has its own custom property) HTML Port Map from switch port mapper [HTTP_portmap]:<a target=_blank…

Mithrilhall, You can just copy the resource file for Current Percent Util [32-InterfaceUtilization.Resource] to a new file and tweak the code. That way you can get the mouseover to be whatever you want. You could theoretically point the mouseover to the daily graph of the interface. A code sample is below:<script…

Hi all, I agree wholeheartedly. Since we first purchased Orion, back in the days of version 6, we have been making little tweaks to the software. Right we have the following: Custom HTML code on the overview page to display several key items from our corporate portal in addition to links to other IT resources. Custom…

Hi jkeberle, I think you can do what you are describing within the product right now. I have a custom property called location_code. In this field I place a 4 character code for each of our 30+ sites. I then added a Node List - Custom Grouping and Filtering resource to my network overview page. This allows me to display…

Hi Daryl, I agree with NG. We use Cisco ACS for RADIUS and Sawmill for parsing the logs. The combination provides for everything you seem to be looking for in terms of reporting. Because Sawmill provides a web front end you can link it into your Orion web page in a variety of ways. Be fantastic.

Hi JA, For similar issues in the forum look at these posts: http://www2.solarwinds.net/SolarWinds-Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1251&SearchTerms=discards http://www2.solarwinds.net/SolarWinds-Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=77&SearchTerms=discards http://www2.solarwinds.net/SolarWinds-Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=32&SearchTerms=discards…

Hi Larry, As far as I know there is no automated way to pull this off. You would have to manually enter the IP address for each interface in the custom property. Now if you had an SNMP walker that could grab this for you you may be able to find a way to inject the value directly into the Orion database based on the IP…

Heh clerum, You must be one of those silly wireless/cell providers or an IP Telephony carrier. I have a friend who is working for a national IP Voice/Telephony provider. He said they were beginning to roll out IPv6 to support CPE devices. Orion should support v6. It isn't all that terribly difficult to implement. We have…

Hi clerum, I have not heard any discussion from the kids at SW about IPv6 support in Orion. It looks as if you are the first to post on the subject in the forum. SW tends to react to customer momentum. If dozens of customers are asking for a feature and the feature is possible they will do their best to add it. So I…

NO. Orion only looks at the aggregate interface error OIDs (TX and RX). Specifically looking at interface collisions is outside the current Orion box. Be happy I left out the OIDs on this post (sorry): 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14 receive errors 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20 transmit errors

Hi Marketta, When you are working with a map in map maker you simply drag another map on to the map you wish to have as the 'parent'. This requires that you create your 'child' maps prior to creating the map that will act as the parent or top map in the nest. Hopefully this is clear. If not send me an email and I can…

Hi IGOVEDICH, You have two options: 1. Use report writer to generate this report. You will have to do some interesting SQL to combine the interface data, but it won't be too bad. The problem is you will not get a chart out of report writer. You will get a table. 2. Use a custom HTML resource to display the charts for both…
