Denny, I presume that you can report and alert based on tags then? May I ask why the difference between NPM using custom prop and APM using tags? Regards Miron

Thanks mate , good to know

Mate, Thanks that solved my issue( well lead me to find the problem) the Web Url was populated with the correct info as you stated above however, the filter was incorrectly set up not to include the Node ID which is what the Web Url would need. Thanks Again Miron

Denny, Was thinking of getting the results from hosts in a similar fashion to when you do a speed test on something like speedtest.com. Sounded like a useful idea in my head yesterday:-) , although after sleeping on it sounds less usefull than yesterday but still appropriate in circumstances. Like returning the results…

Hi, I am not sure how your network is logically structured, however because of the small number of users i would assume that you are in a single location with a single internet gateway. The gateway is possibly the best place to place a device capable of reporting usage by ip address. This device could be something like a…

Hi, Not seeing F5 Firepass being grouped appropriately. Always grouped under net-snmp - Linux SysObjectID 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.10 Miron

Ahh, Thanks mate:-)

Thanks mate

Hi, I believe this has been queried before on the forum. As far as I remember and from out own experience the Lightweight AP's do not support snmp as they are designed to be managed centrally. Thus all management including snmp is from the WLC. This is a bit of a pain as it is difficult to gather stats using snmp of…

All, My intention in starting this post was not to offer any critism to SW as im not in a position to comment on the effectiveness of the upgrade as I haven't proceeded yet myself. It was more to draw the attention to the fact that Network Monitoring as a service has grown out of just being a nice to have and only used by…

Hi, This is a snapshot froma component on our dashboard. Each of the coloured blocks is an map object with either network or applications or both as child objects. Miron

Hi, thanks to all who have responded and I should have thanked you sooner. I currently run Solarwinds Orion monitoring about a 1000 nodes(network only) - and find it extremely easy to use. In every release I see the product getting better and the guys in solarwinds are doing well. Obviously us customers are always…

Chris, Presumably it would be possible to write a scipt that replaces the JPG image file with another one. So for instance if you had three images of a thermometer , Green , Yellow , Red. And then configuring an alert with an action so run a script to copy the Yellow or Red image to the same image location with the same…

Hi, Yep i have opened support tickets for the high priority ones. Regards Miron

 Denny, Imagine you have 10 buildings which have only access switches you want to create a map for these ten buildings which includes the upstream distribution and core devices. Now the connections between the core and distribution dont change and will always be the same for every map it will only be the links from the…

Denny, What ever became of this suggestion? Regards Miron

Hi, Thanks for the link for the Cisco Mibs. However that does not give options for a WLC or non switch/router devices. Miron

Brandon, Well you would drill down into a map if the content of the cell was a map object, if you clicked on the figure in the 24 Hour Availability you would potentially get a graph that represented availability over the 24 hour period. Custom HTML sounds like a lot of coding that would need to be done and i would still…

 Hi, We do attempt to do the same using syslog with various success , I know that our Cisco LMS will alert on a module failure on cisco devices and it would be nice if Orion could do the same. 1 more reason not to have to rely on LMS. I will have a look into whether there are MIBS that give the status of the installed…

Hi, Do you mean that this bug will be fixed in SP4 or in the next version. Regards Miron

Hi, As discussed the ability to have some kind of Parent/Child relationship would greatly enhance the reporting and alerting functionality within Orion. Also as discussed there is the potential for a workaround of adding child objects to maps however this does not fit into the alerting logic. Now I havent tried this but I…

Denny, Thanks apologies if you already answered this elsewhere in the forums:-) Miron

 Josh, Thanks mate, I have found a Perl Radius Script which I want to test, otherwise Ill have to learn VBScript (and programming is not my strong suit:-) Regards Miron

Hi, While I think that this would be a useful feature , as I have requested before it would be great to have rules based custom property additions. So if you discover or add a whole lot of new nodes you can set some rules that fill in custom properties based on other properties of the device. I.E if ip range is 172.16.4.x…

Denny/Yann, Well we wouldnt really want to install it on all our desktops only 1 or two devices per switch or vlan whichever is supportable. This would allow us to see if the user vlan is showing issues or not. It may be that you only want to install it on a handful of probe devices around the network to see how there…

Hi, I would presume that if I understand your network as you descibed that it would be simplest based on the small size of the network to position the polling engine in the data center, only because it is the onle location connected to everything else. Also i would keep the polling engines to one unles your applications…

 Denny, I suppose you are right in that if all applications were snmp capable and added MIBS for monitoring their various activities then there would be little need for agents. In retrospect I suppose my question was not thought out correctly. Kind Regards Miron

 This would be a usefull module for the orion package as the one that we currently use with LMS is extremely unreliable. Given a module could be developed by Solarwinds I would definitely be interested, as we have found more use coming out of Solarwinds through the years than the Cisco Product which is inherently clunky.…

Hey mate, Just wanted to check , what data format is your custom property Function set to. I notice that if it is set for numeric (int or float) input it will remove the contains option. If it is not set to this is it set to Text or Memo? Regards Miron

:-) Thanks very much that worked well. Just got to find out how I can get it to log the user in automatically. When you say create your own resource what do you mean exactly. Can you give me an example. Regards Miron
