it generates a ton of logs on c:\programdata\solarwinds\ (and subdirectories) [I have over 2100 files with the extension '.log' there] if you could feed them into a SEIM tool you'd be easily able to spot the errors & open bugs on them...

aside: I've had a bug that was resolved by re-installing the OrionCore service. [if you uninstall IPAM it removes some of the orioncore files, breaking your core install for some widgets that make use of them] I would give you the bug number, but I didn't get one...

might something like this work? custom pollers for the statistic as a rate transform poller to convert it into a percentage; advanced alert to work off the transformed value The lowest poll rate is every 10 hours, so at polling every 6 hours this is (very approx) 2.4% (think compound interest)

have you applied the 'correct answer' ?

Kind of a challenge if the operating system you're trying to run the installer on is unsupported....

the information/busness service logic distributes infomation about polling, etc amongst the processes and internal databases in Solarwinds. deleteing tings directly out of the database can be fraught with unexpected challenges. Tip: When I want to bulk-delete things out of the SQL database I don't actually delete them…

as a product idea one way around this might be for each node to have a secondary polling engine that performed polling if the primary polling engine is unreachable/down... In this case I'd be able to get rid of the FOE for additional pollers. this might also be a stepping-stone on the path to non-stop in-service upgrades.

check your UnDP -- you should be going a GET of the specific MIB variable you need; it defaults to getNext, so if the variable disappears something random will be returned and stored.

I don't believe an additional poller install can use more than ~8GB of memory on the server -- all of the processes are 32-bits and so crash when they get larger than 2GB. (I have 10GB free on 16GB servers with ~8000 objects on them). If you stack additional pollers that might be possible to use more memory, but I don't…

vote up this idea: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1952 and open a support case; these values are currently hard-coded into the application (not the MIB even)

possibly... I think the > and < operators need to be swapped. I think your query says 'time more than 120 minutes and or less than 30 minutes ago. try AND c1.LastCPU BETWEEN DATEADD(mm,-120,GETDATE()) AND DATEADD(mm,-30,GETDATE())

Very nice... Note, that in general this "WHERE DATEDIFF(hh,TimeStampUTC,GETDATE()) <= 24" will cause arithmetic on every row of the table. try something like this instead: where TimeStampUTC >= DATEADD(hh,-24,GETDATE()) on my system the subtree cost of your query is 22; by doing the calculation once and then the comparison…

On NPM 10.5 and later you can move the nodes to a new polling engine without opening up the properties for the node -- it is one of the options on the options on the drop-down menu,

Follow the SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Enabling SSL (https) for the Orion Web Console before doing this. Otherwise if you repair, reinstall, or upgrade the web application the redirect will get 'stopped'

the exe is a perl script compiled into a self-contained program; there is some issue, probably caused by a bad configuration file, that is triggering the error message. Without the source it's hard to tell why. if you have perl (and/or the inclination to compile a new executable) version then you might use the…

you can increase the logging using the logadjuster tool to see what the alert manager is doing.

bgppeerstate should be an enumerated datatype, so the values are textual. e.g. idle(1), established(6) This kind of alert isn't scaleable: with this kind of alert one gets an alert for the first peer that goes down, but does not get alerts for subsequent peerings going down (some of my routers have 50-160 BGP peers)l)…

this functionality is now built in to current releases (from 10.6 onwards) -- I'd really recommend using that functionality: Introducing the new "Worldwide Map" resource

One should note that this looks like an optical/DWDM/sdh device: On such devices some of the paths through the device may be purely optical: they use different wavelengths of light and use prisms and diffraction gratings to merge and split the traffic. This document has a nice table of the different 'colors':…

Can we have a new thread for new releases -- it is very confusing to reach comments asking when 3.2 is coming out on a thread relevant to a post 3.2 release. Aside: if you want me to alpha/beta/test the VRF support let me know and we'll get it installed on our test server.

check out the new version of NPM -- the nexGen alerting engine is somewhat different.

Do you have a roadmap for UDT 3.2 / 4.x? I'd like to know what your planned feature list is for future releases so I can do some planning. I understand that plans change and that these would not be solid commitments, but with other products we had some kind of future roadmap. e.g. NPM had web-based reporting, web-based…

1. Setup the standard release of Putty 2. if you have a proxyhost configure your putty/pageant/puttygen for login using authorized_keys 3. create a new profile, e.g. 'telnet' with you proxyhost settings in it using this as the starting point: ssh ProxyCommand and PuTTY | Monkeys with Buttons (if you can ssh from your…

Could you expand this example to show how you would filter the discovered interfaces so only the ones whose ifNames are in a perl array are monitored?

Because we don't run discovery What we do in reality is add the nodes to our own CMDB Import those nodes and interfaces into NPM using SWIS Add them to NCM using SWIS periodically run the 'discovery' process in UDT to re-add nodes to UDT What we like to do is add manged nodes to NCM, run inventory collection on them, flag…

The discovery idea is very bad. It also conflicts with running UDT in large environments.

I see plans to support an API has been dropped; I am disappointed, but at least can reach my decision gate.

Do a knowledge base search -- there are a number of documents with titles like "What object IDs (OIDs) does Orion NPM poll for..." e.g. SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: What object IDs (OIDs) does Orion NPM poll for information about Cisco wireless access points? What types of information about Cisco wireless access points…

Thank you master control.
