Hey snowjay, you could RDP into the server, map a drive to a shared folder on your workstation, run the Reports and save them directly to your WS. There is also a remote admin package coming out for Orion, similar to Microsofts MMC snap-in. You install it on your WS and connect remotely to the poller and database to do all…

We connect directly to the database with Crystal Reports to create our weekly uptime and trending reports. NG

Do a search in this forum for TFTP file size. www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp -=Cheers=- NG

The MIB updates only pertain to the Solarwinds Toolset apps, not Orion. They have no affect on the MIBs installed with Orion. To answer your question; Most likley the updates are incremental, so the latest one should include all previous updates (check the downloaded file size). -=Cheers=- NG

You can manually increase the DB size using SQL Enterprise Manager. In the DB Properties > Data Files, change the Space allocated(MB) of your NetPerfMOn DB file. I upped mine to 12GB last week. I checked it this AM & it was back down to 9.1GB. I've lost over a days worth of data since the DB maintenance on Sunday morning.…

I feel your frustration Paul... <rant on> Lately I've seen gaps in certain graphs as well (CPU, Interface util.etc.). I'm still running Version 7.x right now, but what I have found is that the weekly DB maintenance built into Orion has a shrink DB script that runs every Sunday morning after the re-indexing takes place.…

Have you tried doing a Google image search for Europe maps? I found some good Canadian maps this way. -=Cheers=- NG

If you don't mind giving them rights to "clear events/alerts", then you could use the code in the following post: www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp (about half way down) This allows only users whose account is configured to allow event clearing to edit/update a custom property via the web page. You do not have to give them…

 Have a look at this post, as most of this can be done with the existing code in Orion. You only need to edit 2 files to be able to have a CPE page on your web server.

I've added the Giants counter above to a couple of Cisco6509s with Ten-gig interfaces connecting to Netapp filers. The filers are configured with MTU size of 9000, and the switch interface is configured with 9216. Looking at the standard NPM interface Errors & Discards counters (chart) the interface appears clean. Looking…

Here are the OIDs that should have been included as default (or optional) interface pollers. http://mschedrin.wordpress.com/tag/if-mib/ //EtherLike-MIB Align-Err 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.2 FCS-Err 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.3 Single-Col 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.4 Multi-Col 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.5 Late-Col 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.8…

I am pulling this request out of the closet and dusting off the cob-webs. Now that we are at NPM V11.0 and there there are all sorts of new features added, we still don't have pollers for detailed interface stats? I am looking for a Cisco interface poller for FCS and Giants, and agree, these should be included out of the…

Hi Collin, Have a look at the serach results for "chart.asp" www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp Also there are custom charts available for download - see this post; www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp -=Cheers=- NG

Here is what I found doing a search for: SearchTerms=multiple,cpu,monitor www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp -=Cheers=- NG

Yes, but not using Orion. You need a tool like Cisco MARS which uses Cisco IP SLA. www.cisco.com/.../tsd_technology_support_sub-protocol_home.html -=Cheers=- NG

Can someone post the rest of the code for the 99-EditCustomProperty.Resource file as I am trying to get the CPE page cleaned up as much as possible. I can't seem to get the name of the property to go above the text box and also have the text box be only one line.…

Thanks Don, Nice to know someone else found this useful. I might try your mod, but generally once the node is in Orion, the caption does not change, only the Custom Properties. -=Cheers=- NG

To only allow Users with the "Clear Event" permission to update CPs, change the EditCustomProperty.Update.asp code to the following: <!--#include Virtual=/NetPerfMon/scripts/NetPerfMon.asp --> <% SelectWeb "NetPerfMon" VerifyLogin "USER" Dim ViewID Dim NetObject Dim NetDevice Dim PropertyName Dim PropertyValue ViewID =…

Yes I hacked 2 resource files and an asp file to customize it like that. First, I did not want to give everyone permission to edit any Orion webpage, but only to be able to update a Custom Property. I changed the "edit web interface" account permissions required to allow the updating to use the "Allow Event Clearing"…

I've hosted these images on Yahoo groups. Unfortunately they do not allow links to their images. If anyone is willing to host these, please let me know. As for where to find the Edit Custom Properties option, in the Web admin GUI select: Customize Views > Select a view to Customize (Node details or W.H.Y.) > Add resources…

Here's a couple of screen shots of the Web interface I use to edit Custom Properties for each node: This is the Node Details page with a link to the "editing page" as well as a place to add commments. This is the actual node editing page which I modified so that users cannot change the layout or heading of any of the…

Here you go. www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp Just create a custom SQL report in Report Writer. -=Cheers=- NG

Check this page for the correct macro to use for this: www.solarwinds.net/.../Alert_Macros.htm "PercentMemoryUsed" - Perecentage of used RAM to total ram I've found that some of the Macros have changed slightly in newer versions of Orion. -=Cheers=- NG

Use the Custom Property editor app to create a new field in the Interface table. Then assign a unique name in this field to the interfaces you want to report on. Then when you create your query in report writer, use the custom properties field to select only the interfaces you want. -=Cheers=- NG

It sounds like the new server does not have the required permissions to write to or modify the exiting SQL DB. The normal way to migrate the DB to a new server is to backup the existing DB. Then install SQL on you new server & do a restore of the backup. Then install Orion & point it to this restored DB. It must have the…

I agree with John, this is something that should be easy for SW to do. Managing 100s of individual accounts by Employee ID can be daunting. I created a report that is a kludgy workaround to this issue here: Custom Properties are added off-line to the Excel spreadsheet, but must be manually maintained. Also as per this…

See this post in the EE forum: www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp It was posted a while ago, & so far have not heard any more about this..... -=Cheers=- NG
