Questionario

mhh, with a graph i believe this is not possible natively in APM. if its good enough for you to have each device on a separate graph and you could use a script to run that powershell script and then instead of exporting the data into sql (which you can do as well if you like) you can give one of these values back from…

Hi Brandon, by managing you mean are in the orion database or are not set to "unpluggable"?

wouldnt this work with server side rules as opposed to client rules?

erm... also its possible that a device never responds to SNMP because of wrong password... I would hope that a node doesnt go red just because it does not respond to SNMP... warning/yellow ok but not red :P We currently have alarms set up that try to alarm whenever a device is not responding to SNMP

One Idea would be to get this done externally... A quick question to you Jiri: SELECT DATEDIFF(second, [KeepAlive], GETDATE()) FROM [Engines] WHERE [ServerType] = 'Primary' I know there are two pollers in NPM, one for the UnDP's and one for the other stuff, does this check both?

Thanks Jiri, thats what I was looking for but I am wondering... Will this alert when custom pollers polling stopped as well as "normal" Orion polling stopped? Because we have had issues with stopped polling for a long time now and we were told that you are polling in two different ways which is why usually only the…

same here, when i installed npm 10.1 we all had to clear our browser cache for the menu bar to re-appear.

wow, this is so much worse than in NPM... :P anyhow you can still do that with custom views, look at what byrona posted...

:( was hoping for it to be in the 6 already, its quite a useful feature to give to helpdesk personnel in order to quickly find a certain pc/phone.

giving it a second thought, I think you even need the alert to trigger on a netobjectid, therefore uniquely identifying an object in orion (apm component,harddrive,interface,node), to accomplish that will be a bit more difficult than just pasting the sql query you wrote :P however, if you wanted to do it you dont need to…

if you have access lists on your vlan, the packets that are dropped because of that ACL are shown as discards in orion. I usually dont even look at discards anymore, only errors

Hi MrSampsonite, I think what Brandon was saying is that you could emaily a page of orion (where you live and feel comfortable) basically as a time-freezed pdf or html, making this similar to a report. I agree with Brandon, I usually just email certain websites to be able to include graphs and such... Our problem here is…

see my post here: no other users ever commented on this though so solarwinds is probably not giving it much priority. Personally I think if these feature requests would be implemented, it would create pure awesomeness ;-) these never got much attention from other users either:

yea... id love to have a poller to be able to alert on each cpu and also on each memory part as well... havent figured out a way to do this properly yet (havent had the time either). has anyone done that yet?

We just upgraded to ALX on APM, I have added several monitors and now the server is almost constantly at 100%, most of it coming from this lsass.exe process. Any solution to this? EDIT: I opened a ticket with #159443

no RC's for us in production environment :( As soon as APM 3.5 and NPM v10 are both available I will install them both, I created a change for this a while ago so I could install it once they both come out (I will need to wait for both tho) EDIT: btw, APM 3.5RC is not in my portal

if anything happens in that are I would love to be informed as well... We currently dont monitor CUCM or CCM very well which I would love to change... I will subscribe to this thread =)

yes, we would also like to set the transient period to stick forever... How can I set it to 340days?

you have several pollers? pollers that return the values for red,green and yellow? if that is the case I dont know ho to do that, have to ask someone who knows sql better. if you have just one poller for the temperature then i know what you mean... you could use the report i have as a basis to create your red,yellow,green…

maybe this helps?

Thanks Craig, unfortunately we cannot install RC's in our production environment :( So I'll just wait for the GA version =) Thanks anyhow for inviting us to the RC! :)

I had troubles getting this to work when NPMv10 came out as well... (support told me to do a scheduled discovery, which had to run on schedule and not manually, that didnt work but the tutorial video did) I watched the connectnow video which I saw while browsing.... I followed the tutorial exactly and it discovered links…

its not possible to create an alarm on that though, is it?

The review now worked for me... APM doesnt though... not even in 3.5. SolarWinds supports Windows 2008 but Windows 2008 has a bug with lsass.exe when authentification is required (for example WMI), apparently we are the only customer that checks a lot of servers for running services. Anyhow, even though 2008 is supported…

probably version 10 which will probably be released "sometimes soon" as it is in beta stage already... no specific date available tho

that means that either the server you are trying to send the email with did not accept a connection on the port you selected. its either the imap or the smtp server, most probably the smtp server. the server you enter within that monitor is the server that must accept smtp connections to send your email, maybe you mistook…

Well, SolarWinds did post on their website that v10 will come in May... doesnt cut it down too much but I guess that means it will be before june 1st :P

Hi, well you cant see drops on the tunnels themselves I believe. You can only do that with physical interfaces as far as I know unless there is a way to poll that info via SNMP, anything you can poll via SNMP you can alert or report on! What exactly do you need help with on how to do that with Orion? The alarm itself?

Hi Paper, have you tried adding the group about a dozen times and checking in between if it works? ;) thats the workaround that got me going... once its set up it will work, it just seems as if Orion cannot get a valid SID from the group (of course this will be Microsofts fault from solarwinds's perspective because some…

will the account that accesses the AD be saved? exactly which rights are needed for this? I used the same account to add personal user accounts into orion which worked just fine, just having this problem with the group I tried to add.
