But that doesn't make sense. I'm trying to measure a value that is bad when it is "less than" an optimal value. Thanks for showing me that screen, wasn't aware it was available. So what should I choose: Is my problem that I'm running out of pages and the value should NEVER be negative?

Thanks for the info. What is strange is this happened over night. No physical changes. Definately turning on RSTP appears to have solved the issue. I am not a "core" networking guy, but I am the "only" guy. So switches, Exchange, AD, helpdesk, Firewall, etc, etc. I do my best. This network has been solid for the last two…

Thanks for ideas. SWToolset /regserver was the fix as was adding Orion to Trusted hosts. Reboot appears to have resolved polling error. That was after and update to perhaps reboot was needed, anyway it is working now. Windows internal DB is still running. I'll have to dig into that and see what is up as I know that my main…

Removing the Energy Wise views solved the problem. How did those get in there? Is there some way to enable those? Perhaps only newer hardware supports those calls. My SQL is not up to par to perform the tasks you recommend. It seems to me that there should be in a built in/easier way to do this. The ability to easily…

Makes sense but above my level of skill. Will need to wait for the feature I guess.

Ditto on this one.

I second this request.

Just figured out what it is. Windows Live.

That was the problem. Uninstalled and then downloaded/installed latest version from SolarWinds. Now it works.

Would SAM display the results, or only success/fail?

Beware the Orion Upgrade feature via the Web UI. I've had that puke on the last update and on this one also. I'm never more than one minor rev behind. This time it got to the Configuration Wizard phase and kept failing with the SQL Server version check and complaining that the "value cannot be null". I had to log into the…

This is really painful if I have to lose ALL of my performance history to move from SNMP to WMI just to get IOPS counts. Maybe I should wait until SAM 6?

Looks like it has to poll via WMI for it to work? How do I get WMI to poll the correct SNMP data strings for Local and Contact if I have to switch over to WMI?

I have the same issue. I'm running Dell FTOS 8.4.2.7. I'm running latest, SAM, NPM, and NTA. I have LLDP and RSTP enabled and about 7 VLANs across 12 switches (some stacked) connected with 10Ge. I can see neighbors via the FTOS CLI and using NTM trial today I get L3 links but no L2. I notice in NPM that L2 is rarely…

Bill- Create a nice looking Visio of your network using device icons of your actual equipment. Export it as a JPG and try to size it at 1024 x 768 being less than 250K. Insert that in Network Atlas as your background and now drag over the green dots that relate to the nodes on your graphic. Save and publish it to Orion.…

The amount of data available via the browser is amazing. Does not appear that all are active though. I would assume there is some server side enabling that must be done for some of the counters. So once I have counters selected, then what? Is my only option to have a display list of counters and their last recorded value.…

Anyone??? Does Cisco pretty much dominate the field here?

I'm also having issues with TFTP server. I am running ETS 10.9. I'm trying to pull a FTOS bin image file from my TFTP directory to a Force10 S50N. I've done it tons of times before. Not sure if .Net update broke something. The I either get a time out of the TFTP server GUI crashes. Now that I look at the output I'm…

Chris- Would love to see a world map with known locations of IPs that are not private shown. Raffael Marty discusses this in his book applied security visualization. http://raffy.ch/blog/ You could make the dots larger or smaller based on amount of traffic associated with each. Top XX would be very useful and having Google…

Using NTA with Force 10 S50N and S25N switches and sFlow. Love it. Would like to see a report that shows all protocols seen and the amount of utilization assigned to each. I'm sure I can create this but haven't figured out how to yet. Also would then like to be able to click on a protocol and see a list of the top hosts…

Having some of the same issues. I've been chasing 208.50.77.0/24 today. Owned by Global Crossing but no DNS assigned to any of the hosts in that range even though all of them show 80, 25, 443, 21 on them. I'm guessing they are Gmail or Hotmail, but I'm seeing a lot of traffic moving between my LAN and that range which…
