Good Luck....I've been having this issue for over 6 months. I am constantly told the next thing down the road will address this issue (next service pack, next release,etc) the latest was to upgrade to NPM 9 SP2 and APM 2 SP1. Did that a few weeks ago and the JobScheduler began crashing within 5 days of the upgrade. Now I'm…

Thanks Tomas, Did notice that the problem was with every "new" graph where the Default Zoom range was set for Last 2 hours. Was able to fix by going into Edit for each chart and clicking on Submit. This is what the settings looked like before and after

Marek, Can the new topology pollers automatically retrieve infromation about edge devices on VLANS ? I am running 10.3 and the only information I get returned is about devices on VLAN 1, which given that on most or our switches we don't use VLAN 1 isn't very helpful. If I edit the community string of one of these switches…

While this may explain what these files are and how to deal with them on an emergency basis, it would seem to me that SW support needs to add a procedure to the Nightly Maintenance routine to clean these files up on daily basis. Since my most recent upgrade we are generating 400 to 600 MB of temp files everday. 

We are running APM 3.5 and are seeing the same thing. APM says that the sql server service is using 95% of the CPU but the average server CPU use is about half of that .

Just installed Log Forwarder on a 64 bit machine....Kind of expected to install as a 64 bit app but it did not. Do I need a different version or is it just a32 bit app that can run on 64?

the latter. I am working on customizing the Event Display in Orion. I have scaled back the background colors and icons associated with events to four of each. Background colors are now either Green (Good), Yellow(Warning), Red (bad)or Blue ( events associated with Orion administation and maintenance like nodes added,…

Your biggest challenge will be index number persistence across your boxes and over time. In other words requirement number one for implementing this would be that hrstoragesize.x is always physical memory and hrstoragesize.y is always cache. Assuming you can get past that hurdle you would then have to go in and create a…

Thanks Jiri, Realize as you roll up data you can not keep a record of each error instance but as a future feature request it would be helpful to have at least a count of each error code correlate to the component monitor. For example it would be nice when generating a report on Last Month's Availability of Web URL #1 to…

See the attachment for the OID's we are currently using

According to Chris L. once they implement number 6 the Trap and Syslog alerts will show up in the Event log as Triggered and or Reset Alerts. Our plan would be to leverage this as our "Master View"of all alerts.

Any chance you can now include an APM Components instance into an Alert or a Report. I can find the Instance info I need in the APM_ComponentTemplateSetting table but can't figure out how to join that to the APM statistical data table(s). 

Brandon, Maybe someone else has commented on this but there is a slight problem with not having IPAM integrated with Custom Properties. The majority of my users have some sort of view limitation, if you create an IPAM Alert they won't see it in thier view since the IPAM alert is tied to an object like 10.1.1.1/24 and…

add another user that would like to see this feature added

We are looking into integrating our existing Scrutinizer 5.5 with Orion 8.5.1. I assume you gentlemen did that??? how did that work out ? I saw some older posts from last year but was wondering if more recent experiences like yours might provide any insights before I start down this road. Thanks in advance. Ralph

For counting purposes ...we would also like to see this feature implemented in APM.

Andy, I have done that...what I want to be able to do is for all my alerts regardless of if they are sourced from Traps, or Syslogs or UnDP or anything else all show up as either Events or under the Active Alerts resource window. My preference would be Events so that we could run historical reports but at this point I…

Just upgraded to 10.2 and am now having the same issue with IE8. OK via FF

Hey sdoherty, I'm sure you've already tried this ...but sometimes you old guys forget stuff...anyway from the console of your Solarwinds server can you bring up that URL from its web browser ? maybe a security setting on your web browser or some intermmediate device is blocking the response from getting back to SW. By the…

So immediately after posting this I realized that the only problem with the alert logic was the user implementing it. Even so, while you can scratch #2 from the list the other two suggestions would still be beneficial. Right now for this UnDP NPM is writing about 25 rows to the DB on every polling cycle and checking for a…

Brandon, While I haven't upgraded to V10 yet, it appears that many of the items in Chris's Syslog/Trap post () made it into V10 with the exception of number 6 which of course, would have been #1 on my list ;) Now I don't see it being mentioned in "what we are working on" post NPM 10.0 GA.... Since I haven't done the…

When you go into Polling Settings via the web interface there is a setting at the bottom "Node Warning Level" and an associated time frame in seconds. This dictates how long (based on ping failures) NPM will wait before marking a Node as down. I believe the interval in between (first NPM ping fails but the time frame for…

As an update in case anyone else runs into this issue it appears (will wait a day before declaring total victory) that the problem is related to the packet stream used for the jitter test. By default when configuring a jitter test with a Codec type the packet stream is 1000 packets, if I reduce that stream to 500 packets I…

Chris, The OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.3224.4.1.1.1.20 (VPN Status) if you only have a single tunnel then utilizing this OID with an SNMP Get-Next Request will return the status of that tunnel. If you have multiple tunnels you will need to first use the VPNName (1.3.6.1.4.1.3224.4.1.1.1.4) and a series of SNMP Get Requests (each…

Bring up the report in Report Writer on the General Tab there is checkbox for Group Historical Data by Days. Uncheck this box and save the report.

Try creating an IPAM Event Log report similar to this... just change the IP Address SELECT * FROM IPAM_Events WHERE ( (IPAM_Events.Message LIKE 'The IP %10.68.26.5%%') )

Basic Alerts allow you to change Custom Properties as an action. This action is not available via the Advanced Alert Engine.

The information that is returned via WMI is more detailed (includes "publisher" and "Version") and more inclusive (shows Oracle apps on my oracle servers and Solarwinds modules on my Solarwinds servers ) then what I get via SNMP. 

Noticed that the Message column is set as Text with a size of 16 ...(bytes ???) is it possible that when a scan has to change status to used that there are other fields it also has to change (DNS, Location, etc) that the Status changed to used part of the message is just outside of the size limitation ?? Is there some way…

My apologies to the SQL for Dummies authors. I made that far more difficult then it needed to be. In case anyone else wants to do this simply use WHERE ( (IPAM_NodeReportView.LastSync < dateadd(dd,-11,getdate() ))AND (IPAM_NodeReportView.IPStatus = 'Transient') ) To the Thwack monitors..do i get points for both posting the…
