jkoebel, If you're referencing the NPM in the Engineer's Toolset, it is writing to an MS Access file and when the tool is open and is being written to, a lock file will also be produced in the directory so that you can not edit, open or manage that file. If you want to back up the file, you'll need to close the…

Mikeluff, Really, your options are: * You could poke holes for the monitoring (SNMP on 161; ICMP, etc) and then leverage your current solution. * You could do as you stated and put an additional polling engine on the network segment that needs to be monitored (this will still require you to poke a hole in the firewall for…

Juan, Is this happening in the GUI or in the Web UI? Thanks, Jason Henson Loop1 Systems www.Loop1Systems.com

jciancio, Are you absolutely sure that you do not have the server added in Orion twice, possibly with different IP addresses? If this were the case, Orion would be polling the same device twice and it's DNS and server name could match but have different IP addresses. A quick way to verify this would be to add 'IP_Address'…

sotherls, Typically, the upgrade will handle this but if you need to translate those maps, you can run the following: C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\Network Atlas\ImportMapBatch.exe This little application will import your maps into the Orion database for v10. Thanks, Jason Henson Loop1 Systems www.Loop1Systems.com

DannyB, I agree, this would be helpful. Regarding you question though, the global thresholds are just that. They are global. There's no way to specify this on a node by node basis right now. Ways we work around some of this is by creating reports filtering out the two groups or adding two resources that are filtered to…

<bump>

dirtynetworker, Yes, you can do this. As long as you have connectivity between the two networks and you're not blocking the necessary ports, then you should be fine. Thanks, Jason Henson Loop1 Systems www.Loop1Systems.com

ggs234, Yes, you can. The vendor is set to 'unknown' because this value is an SNMP value. If Orion can't authenticate than Orion doesn't know what the vendor is. So if you want to override this, you can do so by creating a custom property for the nodes like 'GroupName' and then next to each node, give the node a…

For the new integrated tables, here's the new query. I'm curious if somebody can define the difference between the result set under MACHolder alias and ARPHolder alias? SELECT N.SysName MACHolder, I.InterfaceName, I.InterfaceAlias, MF.MAC, A.IPAddress, A.RDNSLookup, N1.SysName ARPHolder, MF.Source, A.Source FROM NCM_Nodes…

mark3267, The admin guide only lists the following as supported tooltips for maps. I would love to see tooltips support custom UnDP pollers as well as custom properties though. SolarWinds, Can we suggest this as a feature request please? Thanks, Jason Interface Data Tooltips Interface Name The name of the interface as…

dylanww, Were you able to get a definition for this? I'm looking for a breakdown of "Other Time" as well. Thanks, Jason DanielleH‌ maria.bungau‌ aLTeReGo‌ Danielle/Maria, can you help us get a reply?

Doh, Steve beat me to the punch. Now you've got two suggestions. ;-) Hope that helps. Thanks Steve. 

dals, The new 10.6 version of the Toolset has an integration service that runs in the background. Make sure you've stopped ToolsetIntegrationTray from the Task Manager before uninstalling. Also, make doubly sure that you are done with your evaluation. If you plan to reinstall the evaluation (and not a production copy)…

jervolino, There are two values that get tracked here: Tx and Rx bandwidth utilization at the interface. These two values are collected from the following two SNMP MIB OID's: ifInOctets: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10 ifOutOctets: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16 If you plug these two OID's into your SNMP Real-Time Graph tool, click Add MIB and…

DDX, You can put your monitors making web calls via http and https into a custom group and then if you open up to the main dashboard and in the 'My Network Contents' resource drill into this new group, it will filter your dashboard to only that group and only show your monitors making web calls. If you add the 'Top Devices…

CSringer, Regarding the difference between the two memory values that you see, I can tell you that these two values do come from different MIBs. Microsoft reports to a total memory (virtual + physical) MIB value which is where the Memory and CPU gauges pull from and then there is a MIB for volumes that reports the unique…

anw2, There are two options here really. If it's a one time scan you are trying to kick off, you can click on Subnets > Scan All Subnets. The second option is to close you IP Address Management and open 'IP-Address-Management.IPDB' in MS Access. If you open the Subnets table, you will see a 'Scan Interval' column which can…

glodge, Try turning off your AV software. It seems you stripping the email as it comes in. Thanks, Jason Henson Loop1 Systems www.Loop1Systems.com

Satoru, From what I'm reading, are you asking for the following: 1. You want to see the functionality of the Advanced Alert Manager in the Orion web interface. 2. You want to be able to design an alert as the template is created. If that's right, I've also recently posted a request to see the functions of the Alert Manager…

ciscoman, Currently there is no alerting for data being analyzed in Netflow Traffic Analyzer module. As an alternative, we typically recommend that our customers build alerts for utilization of bandwidth on key interfaces where bandwidth is shared by other users. This way, you can receive the alert that you are approaching…

shorea50, Have you seen this: SolarWinds WMI Troubleshooting Guide? I would first have a look at that. Typically though, if you are being rejected because you don't have rights or some permission related issue, you will find a DCOM error in the Windows events, but you said you aren't seeing that.?. Are you running a…

Paul, You could also push the events to Orion via a SysLog and let Orion take action on the event once it receives it. You would use the 'Log Forwarder for Windows' utility (available from your customer portal under Additional Components > Download Orion NPM Components). This tool installs on your Wndows server and runs as…

contracer, If you need to build an alert on the routers, you really have two options that I can think of: 1) You can build a custom property and group all of the Routers, Switches and Servers together. Once you've defined that value, you can define the alert to fire off for the following conditions: Node status is equal to…

contracer, If your devices are discovered with SNMP, you can group them by device type. Thanks, Jason Henson Loop1 Systems www.Loop1Systems.com

hehe7nic, To enable Real-Time Config Change Notifications, from the NCM GUI, click on File > Settings > Real-Time Change Detection and enable it. Next, after configuring the options for: > Config Change Settings > Download Options > Email Addresses > Email Server Details Make sure that you have configured the email…

Mavila, Orion is not going to limit you on the number of simultaneous users who can be connected to the Orion web site at any given time. The limitation would really be in the hardware supporting your Orion solution. The end result of a heavy load on your web server would be slower performance on the website. If you plan…
