I think your brackets are not quite right for the previous months' report. datepart(MONTH, DownEventTime) = datepart(MONTH,GetDate()-1) [which is I think the month for yesterday] should be: datepart(MONTH, DownEventTime) = datepart(MONTH,GetDate()) -1 which is the month for today, minus 1, which will be right for every…

If you belive in the theory of constraints then improving a system at any point other than the constraint is pointless as you will become backlogged on that constraint wherever it is. So, how can I measure the performance of the components of Orion to determine the constraint in the system. In that way, given the taxpayer…

I'd love to help test SAML support -- We have a team dedicated to supporting Identity and Access Management, including getting SAML apps to talk to our IDP

Open a support case and ask them -- when I've seen think like this in the past running the configuration wizard and repairing everything has fixed it (and in the cases when it did not, support was able to help)

I can't get past question 7 -- the radio buttons are going in the wrong direction -- there are 5 things I am asked to rank, but I can only select an answer to four of them (because there is the number of rankings: you can't answer all 5 questions. Gave up on the survey; since you can't deliver a working UDT, IPAM, or Aruba…

Still no API. To be clear on how disappointing I find this, several features were added to IPAM 4.2 that had fewer than 10 votes.

One of the things people OFTEN do (and it is wrong) is to use getNext on scalar values. You can rell this because the OID does not end with .0 -- like all of the ones in your list. with getNEXT the end device will return whatever the next lexically larger OID is, which could be a completely different key/value than you…

the article is for 12.1, it doesn't mention 12.2. hence I was asking the question around this quoted sentence in the article. Rather, those deprecated versions continue to remain fully supported, but that future Orion product releases will likely no longer support them I have, however, just realized that the deprecation…

I think it would be good to move to something like a semi-annual release cycle where we get (focus on) major features once/year and (focus on) stability features once/year. That way those of us who need stability can grab the stability-release and those who need some new feature can weigh whether that upgrade juice is…

Does anyone know if I can still use windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit SP1 with the upcoming 12.2? I know 12.1 flagged this operating system as deprecated, I'd just like to know if the operating system is still deprecated, or if I'm going to have to convince the WindowsAdmins to completely rebuild the servers if I do…

I'd surely like it to stop asking me questions to which I have already replied yes. e.g. when installing an additional poller why does it ask if I have performed a database backup? The same applies to click-wrap license agreements, any 'continue' button. some days I feel like a scotsman in a voice activated elevator.

UDT doesn't support stacked pollers, so if you have/use that product stacking doesn't help.

Personally, if you have a serious number of syslog/traps coming in I would look at executing a script off the ones you are interested in to set a custom property on the node -- this would save having to scan the Traps/syslog table and make the values (more) available to the standard alerting rules. otherwise, agree with you

I think Gartner 'magic quadrants' are like AAA from credit ratings agencies (see 'The Big Short').

I don't believe the solarwinds product prevents you from doing packet capture at 10Gbps, I was just pointing out that you're going to need to invest in some serious hardware to do this without dropping packets. If you want to do 10Gbps packet capture at full line rate look at spending $11K+ on the network adapter :…

Asking for 10Gbps capture on a windows system using server adapater cards is unreasonable. At some point you have to think seriously about a dedicated network sniffer box. This is a product feature that is useful to the 90% of customers who only have/need 1Gbps of traffic. If you want 10Gbps capture then you would have to…

in 11.5.2: here's the basic idea: SELECT I.FullName,NOD.DateTimeFrom,NOD.DateTimeUntil,NOD.State FROM [dbo].[NetObjectDowntime] NOD inner join Interfaces I on I.interfaceid = NOD.Entityid where entityType in ('Orion.NPM.Interfaces') and I.InterfaceID=102984 172.31xxx.yyy - J1 · J110/16/2015 5:03 AM1/2/2016 6:56…

No. Really... I've literally Thousands of nodes (22 vendors; 114 different machineTypes). assigning anything by Node (e.g. pollers of any kind) is fraught with danger and opportunity for things to be missed.

Someone wanting to buy the product. A missing checkbox on a Gartner 'magic quadrant' report.

I'd really like to be able to set the OID mapping of sysObjectID to vendor and machinetype (http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1952 in the we UI. There are over 800 posts from users with their sysObjectID and vendor/machinetype values, as well as the people who have voted for that idea...

does it? -- I don't have ad-admin privs and it works with our domain (our Solarwinds servers are in the AD domain my users are in, and so may be using the computer credentials to authenticate itself to Ad so it can then authenticate users.)

Yes, definitely interested in this -- with so many nodes any improvements in uNDP are of interest. Thanks

there is a preamble to the custom SQL query for alerts, and you have not included that. The bit that says 'select .... from ....' that is immutable based on the type of object that you are alerting on. so your query really looks something like select nodeiid form nodes where ... if(... from above) so an alert fires for…

yes, it is. it's a SMOP: a) update the polling method on the nodes b) add and remove the required pollers to the nodes You'll have to ask something more specific after you've written some code to try this -- computers allow you to make bigger mistakes faster, and the SDK can allow you make some very big mistakes.

Yes or no, depending. http://tinyurl.com./e6m6 there is some key information missing here -- like the port numbers, do you mean 'listening for a connection' or 'a connection is established' let me point you at this to give you some ideas: How to Detect and Clear Hung TCP Connections using SNMP - Cisco shows the mib…

have you looked at NetObjectDowntime table?

In 10.6 it was doing something like summing the unique count of clients across access points instead of the count of unique clients across APs. (1+2+3+4+5+6+7... etc) instead of 1+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+7+7+7+...

The standard NPM alert works of the sysUptime mib-2 variable which is the time since the SNMP service was (re)started. On older networking equipment you could rarely restart the SNMP service without restarting the switch/router, but now SNMP is becoming pervasive and it's on windows and Unix systems it's possible for the…
