I'm using Cirrus with Cisco and Dell devices. Specifically Dell PowerConnect 3324, 3348, 3424, 3448, 6024 and 6024F switches. Initially Cirrus wouldn't work with the Dell switches but I gave a Solarwinds developer access to a few of our switches and the next release of Cirrus worked like a charm. You might want to give…

Couldn't you create an icon/image on the map that when clicked goes to the map you want?

Could you send me a copy as well? email: eqguy2002(at)yahoo(dot)com

Well...putting Veritas Backup Exec on hold last night seemed to do the trick. I had no database sync issues. I'm pretty sure that I wasn't backing up the SQL database (we back it up differently) so I'm not sure why Veritas was interferring. I turned the backup job back on and made sure that the database isn't being…

Why chance you can post the script? I've been wanting to have the ability to do batch deletes.

Here you go... For Dell PowerConnect Switches (Managed): Save the running config to a tftp server... snmpset -v 1 -c COMMUNITY DEVICENAME .1.3.6.1.4.1.89.87.2.1.7.1 i 2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.89.87.2.1.8.1 i 3 .1.3.6.1.4.1.89.87.2.1.9.1 a TFTPSERVER .1.3.6.1.4.1.89.87.2.1.11.1 s NAME_OF_THE_BACKUP_FILE .1.3.6.1.4.1.89.87.2.1.17.1 i 4

That should be pretty easy to do via PHP (http://php.net/snmp). I'm sure once you have a page/script written you could incorporate the information easily. OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.23.1.2.1

It doesn't sound like it would be to hard. While I'm not familiar with the Application Monitor (I'll have to download and install it) it sounds possible with vbscript and WMI or another scripting language (PHP is my choice).

Does CTRL-Enter work?

Just food for thought...I believe the SQL Desktop Engine's size limit is 2Gb. If you upgrade to 2005 I believe it's 4 but don't quote me on that last part.

Where does your SQL server reside? What version of SQL? How much disc space on the drive and what is the size of your database?

It sounds like your account settings are correct. My services are running under 'LocalSystem'. For what it's worth, I installed Orion via my Domain Admin account and that's where I run it from. I'm not sure if that'll help you though.

Is it just the NetPerfMon service or all of the SolarWinds services? Do you mean they fail to start or they stop for no apparent reason? If the NetPerfMon service is failing..how many items are you polling, element, volumes, etc.? If you open the Orion System Manager and go to Setting then to the Polling tab what are you…

I don't really have an answer for you but...sometimes I notice that some of our remote switches show all the ports green with a flashing yellow square. It turned out that SNMP wasn't getting through but ICMPs were.

I don't know about using google earth but you could probably incorporate the google maps api pretty easily. I'm actually going to attempt this in the future if I ever get some free time. www.google.com/.../

Have you tried messing with 'sc'? DESCRIPTION: SC is a command line program used for communicating with the NT Service Controller and services. USAGE: sc <server> [command] [service name] <option1> <option2>... The option <server> has the form "\\ServerName" Further help on commands can be obtained by typing: "sc…

Did you run through the configuration wizard? Did you have Orion installed on this computer before?

I've used Cirrus in the past when I was beta testing to log into some of my Linux servers to get the versions of some software and it worked like a charm at the time.

Are you installing Orion via a terminal session?

You might want to test out Solarwind's new Config Management tool called Cirrus. It might do what you want and you could always work with the developers. I've worked with them to get some of our switches working with the product.

What is the Access Protection...Prevent mass mailing worms from sending email (Port 25)?

What VBScripts are you using?

My suggestion would be to contact support and ask them to send you a custom 'chart.asp' page since it looks like that is the page that creates the charts...but that's just a guess.

I tried both and I heard the SolarWinds greeting.

Both worked for me.

Try this path: C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Configuration Management\DeviceTypes Copy an existing device config and rename it using the proper OID. Example of the Generic config template: <!-- edited with XML Spy v4.4 U (http://www.xmlspy.com) by Brian K Rogers (Solarwinds.Net) --> <!--SolarWinds Network Management Tools-->…

Just a thought, try running the database maintenance tools. 

Use the Custom Property Editor. When creating a Custom Property on a node it gets stored in the Nodes table and when you create a Custom Property on an interface it gets stored in the interface table. So, if you created a Custom Property of IPAddy on the Interfaces you could access this by ${IPAddy}.

For just the polling engine or a full install of Orion?
