Sorry about the confusion. The string is "Allow Unmanage" and the correct folder location is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/SolarWinds.Net/Orion Network Performance Monitor /Settings. A restart of the service should be all Orion needs in order to look at the new setting. Janis

To set up this feature, you will need to add the Value String of Allow Unmange to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/SolarWinds.Net/SWNetPerfMon/Settings folder. Then set the value to True and restart the…

I modified the Message text to include the ${PercentLoss} macro instead of ${%Loss}. The macro now parses. Good Luck!! Janis

Bryn, -2s within chart exports are place holders. They represent that there was no poll taken at that time. 0s could not be used because a 0 represents a poll where the collected value is 0. For example, if you are looking at a chart with an interval of every 1 minute but you are collecting statistics every 5 minutes, then…

The reason the devices do not have more descriptive machine type details is because the Orion discovery database does not have the sysObjectIDs for those specific Cisco devices included.
