Hey mthode1986​ I am not sure why the status icons are not showing up. Sorry for my late response, I have been trying to get some features into Orion to make the world a better place. Did you ever figure this out? If not, I can ping someone else on thwack that might be able to help.

This report is now easily done in the new reporting with the following custom SWQL query for the report. SELECT d.Name, p.DisplayName as ParentName, p.StatusLED AS ParentStatus, c.DisplayName AS ChildName, c.StatusLED AS ChildStatus FROM Orion.Dependencies d JOIN System.ManagedEntity p ON p.Uri = d.ParentUri JOIN…

The SQL file gets executed in SQL Management Studio or Orion Database Manager. The execution will create a View (like a virtual table) in your Orion database that is then used by the report.

Hi, Thanks for these observations. I will look into your first issue tomorrow with my testing team to see if we can duplicate it and will put the fix in SP2 (SP1 should be coming out soon). Moreover, nothing spectacular happens when you try to manage a server that is not running. You are first taken to the Add Node page…

Note that you will have to have run a scheduled discovery on your network or re-run a manual web discovery and then try to import at least one node to get the topology data populated for your nodes. Basically, you need to do the steps for getting ConnectNow to work in order for the Topology Resources to show the connection…

Hi, The reports did not change in SP5. We do show the IP addresses in the ESX Server Details page by default if the VM is a node in Orion. Otherwise, we do not pull the IP address from the ESX server, only the MAC. To get the IP address, the VM needs to be a node in the Orion Nodes table and have the Interface in the Orion…

This is a good idea. Initially the idea was that each test would have a corresponding KB article to go along with it, but this hasn't held true for each message that Active Diagnostics produces. We are looking at creating something to help you here and we'll update this thread with some more information. Thanks KZ

Hi John, The EnergyWise Capable grouping was meant to convey the fact that these devices might be capable with the right IOS version, not that they are immediately ready for EnergyWise management. Apparently, this is not what it says to you. How would you verbalize the different groupings we are aiming for: 1. EnergyWise…

Could we see a screenshot of what you are describing? Is this server a VM or is this just a normal server? Thanks

Hi, [Please note I have edited this post] -2 indicates we were unable to poll that value from the device. Check if your device supports the Cisco Buffer OIDs: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.47 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.19 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.27 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.35 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.43 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.67 These have to do with memory management…

Hi, Do you have a screenshot of what you are talking about? It is strange that it would jump for very consistent data, but it is important to note how our 95th line is calculated. See this page in the admin guide: http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/OrionAdministratorGuide.1.359.htm Thanks

If you are encountering this sort of bug it is best to call support. That way if needed the developers can look at the diagnostic logs and determine why your service won't start. Thanks

This is not so much a feature of Orion as it is a feature of ASP.NET. If you are looking simply to embed PHP into the Orion ASP.NET resources (ASPX and ASCX pages) then there are tools out there to facilitate this. SolarWinds does not endorse any of these products, but I have read about Phalanger and other tools that allow…

Can you tell if the node went into warning at that time and fast polling? I wonder if we have a potential bug to fix. What is your "Node Warning Level" set to? 120?

Hi, If you're willing to do a little SQL diving, then adding a menu item to a menu bar is not that challenging. The MenuItems table shows you the potential items that you can place on your menu bar. Let's say your Problems menu item is the menu item in the MenuItems table with MenuItemID = 60. To add this item to the…

Hi, This should be updated every statistics polling interval. This sounds like a bug. We should take a look at this. If you wouldn't mind doing the old calling of support, or uploading diagnostics so I can enter a bug into our tracking system and we will get a fix for this. Thanks

You could do something like this: declare @List NVARCHAR(4000) select @List = COALESCE(@List + ', ' + convert(nvarchar(10), nodeid) + ' ' + caption, convert(nvarchar(10), nodeid) + ' ' + caption) from nodes where NodeID = 1 OR NodeID = 2 select @List This returns one value as a string of concatenated text. Obviously,…

Hi Herwig, Does a DISTINCT on your statement help your results? i.e. SELECT DISTINCT ... I don't believe that UnDP supports polling via VLAN (public@1) type polling, but with the new table NodeVlans, that is more of a possible feature now. Melton, better reporting is on the roadmap, and this is a great request. I'll make…

Hi, Where are you seeing these numbers? In Orion? The memory utilization reported from the ESX server via the VMware Infrastructure Client contains more information that what the free tool and Orion show. New in Orion 9.1 is the ESX Details page that shows the details gathered from an individual ESX server. There it…

This is probably a bug that we are going to address in 9.1 SP1. Thanks for posting about this.

Hi Kevin, So there is a way to do this with a report. In Orion Report Writer, create a new Report. Choose "Advanced SQL". Select your Report Group and Report Title. Next go to the SQL tab. Make sure the "Make this Report Available from the Orion Website" is checked on the general tab. Enter this SQL: SELECT…

One of the DLLs or libraries that the DatabaseManager application is not registered for some reason. The easiest way to find out which one is to use procmon.exe from http://live.sysinternals.com and see which file it is trying to access without success. Then locate that file probably in Program Files/SolarWinds/Orion,…

Hi, Check the maximum bandwidth for the interface on the "edit properties" page. It might be too low for your VPN. You can manually override the maximum bandwidth for the interface to the actual and then your percentages should make more sense. Let me know if this answers your question. Thanks

Hi, You can do this in a bulk operation by: Navigate to the Node Management page Selecting all the nodes you want to make the change on Clicking the "Edit Properties" button Selecting the SNMP checkbox Selecting the "Allow 64 bit counters" checkbox Clicking submit Please let us know if you have any problems or questions.…

Hi, We query information about the VMs from ESX using the VMware MIBs with OID prefixes: 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.2 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3 These tables have information about the VMs. We get back lists of information about the VMs and from those lists we infer the count of VMs. We automatically try to poll nodes to see if they are ESX…

The way that this works is that the web page tells one of our polling engines to send out a simple SNMP request (get SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0). Depending on your set up, you are allowed to select from one of your engines (if you have only one, then you aren't given the choice). If we get a response, then this is how we…

Hi, [Note I edited this post as I made an incorrect statement about our functionality.] You could do this with a Custom SQL Macro in the Alert. ${SQL: SELECT MyCustomUserFunctionThatReturnsTop10NodesByCPU} See my post later in this thread for the working answer. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks

Hi, Unfortunately, this is probably a case best handled by support. We would need to look at the log files to determine what is going wrong or why the information is not being polled. The versions of NPM reported by your SW admin are fine and will work with the SCOM MP. Thanks

Just one quick sanity check. Are you closing off the img element with a </img> or adding a / at the end of the <img ... /> We will need to investigate if the new Gauge.aspx supports the parameters the same way the old Gauge.asp did without any loss of functionality. We will look into this.

Hi, This is a change we recently put in for 10.0. What has happened is that your interface has changed both ifDescription and ifIndex. Hence, when we go to try and remap the interface on the rediscovery interval we don't find a match in the database. If an interface changes both its index and name, we consider this a new…
