Questionario

the password you set does not matter, double check the IIS settings. worked fine for me but I wasn't happy with it so I turned it off again.

yes, you can do that with network atlas, we have done that with the network part and are in the process of doing it for the applications.

did you set the community and allow snmp "management" traffic in the ASA?

you can create customized views for each user in Orion NPM...

you could also try to take a look into APM-groups. You can create a group like "Company Website Cluster", include these monitors in that group and alert if all items in the group are down. that way you will not need to edit the alert for new/removed servers but will need to add/remove it directly from the group (this can…

We have something similar on 2008 R2 servers happening... WMI will crash, leaving an Event with ID of 1000 in the event log. APM goes unknown on this node and will recover eventually (several hours, sometimes more sometimes less). Also sometimes WMI sometimes becomes completely corrupted and does not recover itself in…

hey jspanitz, you could just add all "missing" components to your existing template, apm gives you the option to see all components from templates and then select them and add them to existing templates. that way you would preserve the data :) hope it helps

we also did... we moved to a dedicated machine because support kept complaining even though everytime they analyzed the performance, it was perfectly fine! however sometimes during running the configuration wizard we had a high spike and other databases on the same server were experiencing problems for a few seconds

the alert suppression is like a separate condition statement. if you enter node.caption = ABC, it will suppress the alert if there is a node which caption is ABC. you could create a suppression whenever node ABC is down, you have to add the condition that the status equals to down then (in addition to noce.caption = ABC).…

Hi, at the settings page you can select polling settings, at the bottom of that page you can find "Node Warning Level", you can change the value there to determine after how many seconds a node is considered as down.

hi csweet, with popup you mean a website popup or normal authentification popup? the latter should work finde, with the first I dont think there is a built-in way for that in APM unless it is enough for you to access the url of the popup directly and see the result of the login-popup. otherwise I guess you can look in the…

currently virtual switches, planning to go to nexus. currently no monitoring at all for these (dont know how)

Hi return values in APM have to be numerical statistic data. I heard there is a program by solarwinds that is supposed to be able to convert most nagios scripts into vbs. APM supports vbscript and powershell as far as I know, Powershell is a new feature with lots of bugs though, it does not yet work correctly. hope that…

the hot standby engine is no longer developed, I believe NPM v10.0 is the latest supported version. the Failover Engine does not need to be connected via crossover cable, that is one possibility (where the FoE server would take the same IP as the original one) but you can also use it across WAN-links with different IPs.…

hmm, the IP should be set correctly, is there no option to have it assigned to all unassigned? dont remember that option anymore... anyhow, if that does not help, I heard there is an open bug in 10.1.1 where sometimes syslogs are not received correctly which is supposedly fixed in 10.1.2 (still in RC) but that's only what…

it should as long as you have the guests monitored on orion as well... works fine for me anyhow

hi, officially I would think not, support even complained about our DL360 G7 (also 4 quad cores) with 2.53GHz... inofficially I am not sure :P for an SLX installation (we have SL2000), if you have a lot of elements it might be a problem... As far as I was able to observe, Orion seems to handle multiple cores well by now.…

I am not even sure what you are talking about... Broadband Real Time Subscriber? Whats that? It does not sound like it has anything to do with Realtime Change Detection? You are talking about some part of Orion NPM? Maybe you can provide a screenshot and elaborate on your description?

yes, there are severeal application monitor templates that do that. you can check if the emails arrived with either pop3 or mapi I believe, not 100% if IMAP was an option as well but you can check the monitor templates if you own APM.

I dont think there is any way of "gathering" this data because as far as I know, no devices store that data themselves... The best you can do is create a report of all serial numbers... a manual way would be to create custom properties for all devices and save the wanted information onto each and every devices custom…

As far as I know there is none out of the box but you could create a custom SQL report for this

Not sure about 8.5 but in 9.5.1 you can just select the different parts of the E1 interface...

did you allow the orion server to access the remote server via SNMP? in windows you can do that in the settings of the SNMP service. not sure how to do that in linux or if it is required to specify remote servers allowed to access SNMP (I would guess so though!)

have you tried entering the whole path to the executable with file extension?

unfortunately not right now and not planned for the next version either as far as i know

you can do that with reports... you will need to make an advanced SQL report and do something like this: SELECT Nodes.StatusLED AS Status_Icon, Nodes.NodeID AS NodeID, Volumes.VolumeID AS VolumeID, Nodes.Caption AS NodeName, Volumes.VolumeTypeIcon AS VolumeTypeIcon, CASE WHEN Volumes.VolumePercentUsed>=90 THEN 'Down.gif'…

Hi, I believe SolarWinds will refer you to the LEM, Log and Event Manager which is available separately. If you don't need all that functionality you might want to take a look at the LogForwarder available in your customer portal, it can forward windows eventlogs as a syslog... not very pretty and very basic but maybe it…

+1 :-)

I have a similar behavior, although for me this has happened in 10.0 already as well. Everytime I reboot the Orion server, the reboot alert fires off and tells us that today these servers rebooted, giving a date and time stamp of several months ago...

simples way i guess is to alert on the syslog? you can set up alarms on syslog messages with orion as well
