Questionario

Hi Francis, I believe with the advanced alert manager and the advanced sql alert, someone who is good at sql could create such an alert already, no? I agree that this would be handy and a nice feature request, speaking for myself: I think there are much more important developments to be made. Maybe someone who needs this…

APM cannot handle 64bit, it cannot display a usage of more than 4gb unfortunately :(

It is with version 10 as far as I know, clustering wasnt supported at all before v10 I was told. NPM and HotStandby are almost identical and would therefore either both support it or not.

For our part we have set the alert to only trigger after the node has been down for more than 3minutes. During that time any system that reboots will be pingable again unless a time-consuming update is being performed right after rebooting which allows no network connections... seems to work well for us so far though

hmm, not sure if that does it... i have never tried it but have a look at:

there just are a few devices which do not support this at all...

anyone? :D

you were on the right track... for anything that is not found in the content exchange zone, that would be the way to go for UnDP's. I do believe that someone already uploaded cisco environmentals to the content exchange zone... if these do not include the correct OID for your redundant power supply, I would suggest opening…

Hi Bryan, I read somewhere in this forum before that this error also happens if you run HTTPS and the certificate is only issued to the website name and not the actual hostname. (e.g. you have a certificate for orion.yourcompany.com which works fine if you visit the website but the actual hostname of the server would be…

Hi, this is not possible... NPM detects a restart by detecting a change in the amount of time the server has been running for, which is reported by SNMP. If SNMP is restarted, this counter is reset. There is no other way to check how long the server has been running for (as far as I know).

For us, the load time of the web pages (the time between clicking on a link and the layout to appear) which are at times pretty slow has not improved. However certain parts within the web pages might seem to load a bit faster, e.g. reports in the web console. In General the Web-UI does not "feel" faster for us (this might…

NPM can monitor as many devices/interfaces or whatever, as you want/pay for. If there are so many devices that you cannot monitor it all with one server as it exceeds its network capacity you can even add additional pollers so there really isnt a limit on how many devices you can monitor :)

Hi, you cannot do this with Orion NPM, however Orion APM will allow you to do this with just a few clicks.

Hi patriot, this can already be done. just make sure you uncheck the "Web Display" on the original poller but keep it assigned, use the transformed poller to display it on the webpage! (you can also choose to hide that resource should the poller not be assigned to that node) hope this helps

Active Diretory features can be found in the account manager, when you create a new account you can create it from an AD user or group. As in Meru features I am not sure as we dont have any of those but my guess would have been that it is automatically there if you add one of those devices it would show additional features…

At the Orion Polling Settings (NPM) you can change the string it sends as a probe... changing the string will change the size of the packet... I think this changes it for IPAM as well (SW-team, please correct me if I am wrong)

to make it short: toolset is for troubleshooting and some quick handy tools... orion is for reporting and history, trending and monitoring and multi user use. I wouldnt recommend using toolset if there is more than one person using it to monitor the network (nor would I recommend using it as the sole monitoring tool for…

I had the same issue, solarwinds said that this is a known bug with microsoft and solarwinds is sitting it out, waiting that microsoft fixes it (apparently it has been a bug for years) but is implemting the feature nonetheless. It was explained to me, that windows just counts the RAM-usage (the bug is that it adds the…

As of yet, this is currently not possible in Orion NPM.

they only need to be accessible via snmp basically... you can then enter each of those IPs to the network discovery... to make it simple, there is a video tutorial where if you follow it step by step it will work! www.youtube.com/watch or www.solarwinds.com/.../tutorials.aspx (the second video, its the same one linked…

Create an exception for McAfee to not scan the C:\inetpub folder! And if SQL is running on the same server, try to exclude the scanning of the database(s)

I agree, plus during the "maintenance"-mode you would still be able to check if everything is back up yet on the website. It would also be nice if the "downtime" during the maintenance mode can optionally either be included or excluded in reports (availability reports). so, +1 :)

I think since 4.0 a lot of the polling is done via the API, you will need to enter actual ESX-credentials, this is usually the root user

+1 on this :)

first of all, once you get this to work it will not alert you immediately as interface speed is only polled during a rediscovery as far as I know... and that can take quite a while (for us its more than half an hour for sure), depending on how you set the rediscovery... so dont expect to get alarmed right when it happens!…

I was looking for something like that as well... unfortunately there isn't... I hate that things get messed up when others play around with it I cant check who did it to explain how things should be done... :-\

Yea, we have noticed this as well, kind of annoying

we haven't experienced this particular issue but many similar ones (packet loss and response time switched and therefore confusing everyone checking this, connection to database lost and no sign of this in the webinterface except if you check last database sync or last poll. in apm we also had several cases where polling…

Hi Donald, not sure if I understood you correctly but if by domain admin you mean an account which has rights to the domain and on domain controllers... We have created an account with "Server Administrator Level 1" rights, which basically allows everything except changes on the domain (on read-only domain controllers it…

why dont you do it via WMI?
