I have upgraded to NPM V9.5 and confirm that this issue has been resolved.

Here's a little more history on my setup & issues Bryan; I started with a single all-in-one server SLX V8.1 installation in Toronto - 7000+ elements. This server was maxxed out, but usable - no gaps in charts, just slow loading pages. I built a new DB server in Edmonton - Win2k3 x64 4-way 8Gb Ram MS SQL2005 SE. I also…

I agree, this is a very basic function that should be part of any NPM software. This functionality is built-in to NCM. I just created an excel file with a list of IPs and imported them quite easily. The issue with adding them to the DB manually stems from the structure of the nodes table and links to the other tables. At…

Sorry, but this code only works with .asp versions of Orion - basically V9.1 and earlier. See this post from SW regarding this: (It seems SW has removed the notice which explains the end of .asp code support in 2009. At least I can't find it anymore) Here is a post which assists in converting asp to asp.net code:

I had implemented a CustomProperty way back in the 7x NPM but eventually removed it because I couldn't figure out how to clear the "ticket/comments" fields after a node came back up. Each time a node went back down, the "old" custom property data was still in the database and it was causing confusion. I might have to give…

NWood, You are correct sir! I just reviewed the CPU utilization on one of my 4507R's with L3 routing enabled & it is indeed spiking up to 80%... -=Cheers=- NG ~seek & ye shall find---> [url="http://www4.solarwinds.net/SolarWindsForum/search.asp"] <---no need to wait for answers~

I understand now, you want availability of the primary circuit, not the node. I also created a weekly report several years ago which lists the minutes of dial-up time per site. I'll have to check the code, but I believe it uses the syslogs from the head-end RAS router to log dial-up events into the Orion DB. It then uses…

Could you potentially use a custom field and identify the dependent device in that field by using the name or node id? Then add to the query that if the <custom_ field> property was down then suppress? It would be quite a bit of work to identify and update all your nodes. I have something over 5700 nodes which I would love…

Why limit the amount of columns to 3 anyway? ...because we hate the number 4? So then make it 5 columns :-/ The Pentagon has 5 sides, so Orion should have 5 columns :-p My first column is only 150 pixels wide, as I use it for "QuikLinks" - internal and external web site links using the Raw HTML resource. That only leaves…

This was requested over 4 years ago :-p

I upgraded my SL2000 server last week. The upgrade took 30 minutes and went without a hitch. The website has been running fine since the upgrade. The issue I have is the links to the charts no longer work in report scheduler. I am e-mailing out charts of connected VPN users, but the new asp.net URL format no longer allows…

Change the suppression to 'not up' - (down, warning, unknown). You can also decrease the polling interval on your switch to half of the interval you are polling the servers.

_____ Orion Website Error An error has occurred with the Orion website. Additional Information System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\InetPub\SolarWinds\web.config' is denied. Enable anonymous access to the folder I notice your Inetpub directory is on the "D:" drive. I wonder if the installer is trying…

Here you go: SELECT TOP 10000 Convert(DateTime,Floor(Cast((DateTime) as Float)),0) AS SummaryDate, Nodes.NodeID AS NodeID, Interfaces.InterfaceID AS InterfaceID, AVG(InterfaceTraffic.In_Averagebps) AS AVERAGE_of_Average_Receive_bps, MAX(InterfaceTraffic.In_Maxbps) AS MAX_of_Peak_Receive_bps,…

 Yep - thanks for the direct link Mark - they don't show up in CSZ using the Lean & Green theme, unless I click on recent files....

The list of AVAYA OIDs and MIB descriptions can be found here: support.avaya.com/.../g3mib51.htm I have yet to get SNMP access to any Avaya working with either Orion, or the Eng Toolset MIB browser/poller/walker. We've followed all the instrauctions here and have even opened a support ticket with Avaya. We finally got…

I'm resurrecting this post, as I am now trying to get stats from my Avaya PBX switches as well. If anyone has some Custom Poller OIDs they want to share, please post them here.

Advanced Alerts do not support IOS changed - previous to current alerting.See this post:

Exactly & there is no select all button to remove the strings you don't want. They must be deleted manually one at a time. (Wait for the web page to refresh between each deletion).

Some other examples of this graphing capability: Using Netstat statistics to monitor applications: c:\>netstat /? Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP network connections. NETSTAT [-a] [-b] [-e] [-n] [-o] [-p proto] [-r] [-s] [-v] [interval] -a Displays all connections and listening ports. -b Displays the…

So according to the Admin Guide: Creating Custom MIB PollersWith custom MIB polling, Orion Network Performance Monitor can not only poll any MIB that is currently in the SolarWinds MIB Database, but Orion can also poll any other OID that you may need to monitor. This capability allows you to monitor virtually any statistic…

 And here is the Suppression condition:

You can create a custom report to do this today. Have a look at this post -

Bump! I'm finally in need of this as well. I have a Custom Report showing Avaya 8700 IP Trunk usage, but I need to graph it. I'm using the UNDP & grabbing the g3trunkstaServiceState OID and use this Custom Report to transform the response into a number: Select Count(CustomPollerStatistics_Detail.RowID) AS Active_IP_Trunks,…

This is just an assumption on my part, but it seems to make sense. Only the SW application engineers would know for sure.....

I put a little something together explaining how to edit custom properties for interfaces via the web and placed it here, in the Content Sharing Zone. I tried to explain it well enough so that anyone with basic knowledge of Orion administration can understand and utilize the information, while also not making it too…

So we've ruled out the obvious. You may need to open a Support ticket so that we can look at diagnostics and try to replicate? Will do Denny. <edit>Case # 83037 Created: Edit button not visible on Custom View resources</edit> I just replicated this again. I opened Orion this AM and noticed the Edit buttons are missing on…

what do you mean by "load the map on a dedicated page"? Also, even if the maps are nested, why would that cause the system more cycles? I would think it would be easier because all it has to load at that point is a link to a map and not an actual object with all of its data.... Does it actually load all of the submap info…

Here is the SQL for the report I use for our backbone links(this is a custom SQL report running on Orion V8.1). SELECT Nodes.Caption AS NodeName, Nodes.NodeID AS NodeID, Interfaces.Caption AS Interface_Caption, Interfaces.Status AS Status, Nodes.Region AS Region, MAX(NullIf(MaxOutBpsToday,-2))/(NullIf(OutBandWidth/100,-2))…

Hi Network Guru, I can really recommend the solution I posted earlier in this post. Sounds you got nothing to lose and it did the trick in our case Wireless back (in the tab) and CPU under control since 2 day's now. Good luck!! Thanks MARS, I was going to try your solution next. I just don't have a lot of cycles to spend…
