quote:Originally posted by pblatz Looking specifically for a way to navigate up from the Node Details page to a view/map. Thanks, P. B. Hey P.B. There's always the manual approach, using Custom Property editor to add a link to the appropriate map on the node details page. Once they hit the first map, you could have…

Hi Troy, I think you will find Orion a great product that is quite simple to set up and achieve superior results. The answer to all your questions is Yes, no, yes, yes. * You create a custom property in the database for each of your customers & base your reports on this property. The report writer wizard creates the SQL…

Sorry Don, You should contact Solarwinds Support for technical help questions. This forum is mainly for discussing features, customization & basic usage info. I'm sure SW support will get you fixed up in no time. -=Cheers=- NG

Discards & Errors are 2 different things. Seeing discards does not mean you have errors on the port. You can do a search in this forum for "discards" and/or "port errors", to see what others have discovered. -=Cheers=- NG

I asked this question some time ago while troubleshooting a packet loss/missed pings issue we were having. The current response time is the latency figure from the last ping to the node (you can find this figure in the database). As far as the Average response time, well that is a different story. I was told that it was…

You can get the raw data on one page using the Report Writer application and publishing the report to the web page. This app is an add-on which you get with your yearly maintenance subscription. It is one of the best features for sending reports to upper management. Here is what a "Current Interface Status" report looks…

Have you tried the "paste special" option as per this post? www4.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp -=Cheers=- NG [url="http://www4.solarwinds.net/SolarWindsForum/search.asp"]

Orion does not currently support network port monitoring. However, since SW has aquired ipMonitor, they will be integrating this product, which does do port monitoring, into Orion.

About the only way to do it, is to save your other maps as .gif files, then use them as backgrounds in Mapmaker. Visio allows you to export a drawing directly as a .GIF file. For the other programs, you may have to take a screen shot and them convert the .bmp to a .GIF file after cropping it to size. Create a new map and…

There is a map conversion utility built into Map-maker. File > Import > Older versions..... -=Cheers=- NG

I'm unable to even start the application, never mind running it as a service.... I get an error message saying Solrwinds SFTP/SCP Server is not installed. How to install? I ran the config wizard, but did not see that as an option.

I need Advanced Alerting access for my users, without giving them full admin access to NPM. There needs to be a new permission item - AAAAA - "allow advanced alerts admin access" This way they can manage the alerting and create new alerts when this functionality is added to the Web GUI, without giving them full admin…

It is not possible to add nodes directly to the DB, as there are many other tables which must be updated when even an ICMP only node is added. Many on these forums have tried, but to my knowledge, no one has been successful.

I have found the web login part of the Report Scheduler to be very unpredictable. I have found in some cases I have had to delete the report and start from scratch. I find it best not to use a Username & Password to view the webpage, but rather the directlink account. I leave the web login fields empty. If you have entered…

What account are you using to run the Report Scheduler? Have you set this up in the Report Scheduler? When you test the e-mail, it is using the account you are logged in with, but if no one is logged into the server when the Scheduled report is supposed to run, then is can't send the job. You should also be able to see the…

Chris, Did you go through each line to look for instructions? There are actually 2 parts to this script: "Put the following in as c:\inetpub\SolarWinds\NetPerfMon\Resources\9-1-Miscellaneous\98-SearchInterfaces.Resource" AND "Next, put the following in as…

Bump. Now that we are on V10.4.x & counting, where is the disable L2/L3 Topology polling on all nodes button? These CPU spikes are creating some serious issues for some fully loaded Cisco 6500's, such as loss of WCCP when the CPU spikes to over 90%. I'd like to disable it globally and only enable it on a few devices if…

Thanks for the simple solution filipv!!! I just changed my alert suppressions today using this method. You can set each suppression to use multiple events. So basically: suppress alert if node XYZ is down or warning or unknown That should cover the polling variations with minimal adjustment of the polling interval of the…

Nice work Ian! -=Cheers=- NG

I'm polling over 9000 elements and have a few turned down to 1 minute intervals with no problems. The is quite a difference between 5 min & 1 min polling as far as picking up the peak utilization on a circuit. I like to call them "micro-bursts". If you have the Engineers toolset integrated with Orion, you can really see…
-
As Mr. Brian says, the best you can do is set up the polling interval for the upstream router/device at less than half the interval of all the child nodes. This should help somewhat, but won't guarantee the Alert suppression works every time. I posted on this subject a year ago, but there was no response from SW on this…

If you login to the PC with a Windows AD account & have Passthru Authentication enabled, the Web page will never timeout. Your Orion server must be a member of the same domain as well. -=Cheers=- NG
-
I guess no one else is using this feature?!? Managing changes is a huge thing for us, so if this approval functionality is not working as expected, then we can't use this tool for pushing out config changes after hours. ...carry on networking
-
Yes it's possible using "Big Brother". I use it to monitor HTTP on my Orion server - it does an HTTP get every 5 minutes & alerts me if there is no response. -=Cheers=- NG
-
It all depends on what kind of circuit you are monitoring. It it is a half duplex circuit, then you are correct in your calculations. If it is capable of full duplex, then there are 2 ways of calculating this. If you are a Network Sales person you would just double the half duplex bandwidth; i.e. tell your customers their…

Spiffy, We too are migrating to SSH for all our routers & switches. See my post regarding this here: www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp -=Cheers=- NG

Just contact Solarwinds and tell them you are changing servers. They will reset your License so you can register the new server's name and key when you install Orion. -=Cheers=- NG

You can create a Reboot report with Orion Report Writer. You query the event log & can display the date & time of the reboot contained in the message. -=Cheers=- NG

You can use the Auto-discovery feature to add multiple nodes. See this recent post for more info: www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp -=Cheers=- NG
