Questionario

Isnt there a button for telnet and one for SSH as well? the bar should include telnet,ssh,rdp,etc.

if you edit the http monitor you can also monitor sub-urls :)

maybe you turned on a windows firewall?

agreed! Another use case would be that it could draw "non-orion" admins into using Orion as a means of documentation, orion will then be used to document how things work or rather what depends on what and with exporting it to visio they have done their duties to document this. This might also show incorrect dependencies…

Hi, I am not familiar with argent but why dont you just list what is currently being done with argent and we can tell you if you can do that with NPM/APM... it is easy to make apm restart a monitored service for example or with NPM it is easy to report/alert on disk usage... "small but rare tasks" which would not be…

an application contains several components, for example you might have application1 with one service that needs to run and a check that its website is up. if the service is still running but the website is unreachable, the component for the website goes down. for normal roll-up this means that the application itself will…

you almost have it right... just change the "Not All" to "any" in Level 02 and you are fine :)

Hi ronit, NPM does this with version 10, just search on how to do a scheduled network discovery (there is a video on it in the tutorials section of the solarwinds website) and add the network topology resource to your node details webpage :) unfortunately this is still very buggy and shows incorrect connections, the bugs…

you cannot change any trigger/reset conditions without clearing the alerts. However if you set the alarm to not send emails if the alert has been acknowledged, you can acknowledge the alert before the action triggers have been fired. alternatively you could just set the smtp server to an invalid one and after the email…

We have a similar behaviour since an upgrade from APM to SAM (I opened ticket# 318128 on 1st of March, almost two months ago for this). The user used for the report has the option to never time out set but the session times out nonetheless! If I log into windows with that user, open the report page within report scheduler…

[sarcasm] easy... a new feature on the feature list, more potential buyers, increases stock value ;-) for small things like this, users can create feature requests. [/sarcasm] [rant] I bet you anything that there is a short timeframe dev has to finish new features, they will have a short RC-test (which sounds more like…

to query the database you will need read access to the databases you want to query. to monitor the services you need to have an administrator account for the computer (not SQL). (thats what solarwinds has told me before, I am not sure if lower credentials will work but you need enough rights to query running services via…

not sure if this has been mentioned but it would also be nice if you could add #3 as an attachment (like the last running config or whatever command we choose to execute) so it is not in the actual alert message (so you dont download the attachment automatically on handhelds, e.g. blackberry)

works fine for me in 9.5.1

when a node is down, the packet loss is considered 0 as this is normal on a node that is down... you need to create an alert for the node being down as well...

happens to me for every installation I have done since I upgraded from the eval... never minded as the sample map worked fine and I havent done any custom maps yet

if you are already able to alert on it and you own NPM and NCM, you can execute an NCM script as an action, therefore issuing the command "shut/no shut" on the interface :)

you can either do that manually (I assume you dont want that) or you can create a dashboard that shows all the charts you want and use the report scheduler to email a report (which is just that dashboard inside an email). I wish there was a way to use the report writer with those charts and also schedule those reports to…

Hi, I have browsed for all kinds of MIBs but none seem to be reliable for BRI and PRI. What I have done to solve the problem is create a custom poller for OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.20.1.2.1.1.2 (returns a table with all B-channels and shows if they are active etc.) and created an advanced SQL query report to give me the maximum…

well, what are you polling with your UnDP and how does your report look like?

you can monitor both the physical link as well as the tunnel interface... I dont exactly understand what else you need... you need to be alerted if there is no traffic flowing on that link anymore? you can do that by alerting on the utilization of the interface hope this helps a bit, if not try to elaborate a bit more

Are you running it on Win 2008 or Win 2008 R2? if you are running 2008, do you run APM? If so, even though APM says it is compatible with 2008, it is not... It does not work correctly under Win 2008, upgrading to Win2008 R2 was the only solution for me (100% cpu issue).

I have to agree... A recent example would be connectnow/network topology... looked like a nice feat. to display where each node is connected to... unfortunately it is so buggy that activating it is just emberrasing...

Hi Ronit, if the description of the interface is unique, you could filter on the name/description of the interface?

Hi Pablo, the problem is that the software would need to access the database anyhow, it could only buffer the changes which an SQL-server usually does automatically anyhow. There would be no benefit from such a program as people would want to see live graphs and not graphs from the last day. if orion seems slow you should…

Hi hkor, you cannot. If you do want to be able to do this, post your comment to the existing feature request so solarwinds staff knows this is a wanted feature :) Here is a link to the feature request:

-Allow engineers to be called directly. They do not always have to answer the phone but if you are working on a hot case the option of it makes things MUCH easier. Cisco does this it works great. Usually if the engineer working on your case signs with his name you can call support and ask for that person, if he is not on…

Hi, I'll answer some of your questions, the rest I am just too lazy to look up (you can do that yourself by checking which OID is for the information Orion gives you!) When a node is polled, ICMP is used, when an interface is polled, SNMP is used (you cant "ping" an interface in Orion). Same with volumes, its an SNMP…

if you can get the iphone to auto-reply to specific messages you could write a script that sends an email and checks if it gets the email back...

Hi adatole, I branched your post because it had nothing to do with my original post (I am trying to create a Report from Report Writer where the time will be dynamic depending on the timezone of the browser). Now to your question: In general, all pollers should add new entries into the database in UTC, if they do not, I…
