It's funnt, I have it the other way around. http://orion promts me for password but http://orion.domain.local does not! BryanBecker: You can come in when youre user is local admin I aunderstand.

These just show up as Cisco nodes: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.2339 = Cisco ISR4321-B/K9 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.2171 = Cisco 8540 WLC 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.2252 = Cisco ASR1002-HX 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.12.3.1.3.1856 = Cisco N9K-C92300YC

Hi all The problem with this fragmentation view in AppInsight is that it shows all indexes, of all sizes. Small indexes, typically under 1000 pages, does not need to be updated as there are a minimal performance inpakt on such small indexes. Only bigger indexes need to be rebuilt. (Microsoft best practice). You may use…

Hi We are using a powershell component to check ALL certificates on a server (Local computer store only) and get the name of the certificates that expires within x days. Works for us! :-) [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([String])] Param ( #Specify thumpprint of certificate to be excluded. [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]…

Hi In SQL availability groups you can set that the secondary node is readable: "No", "Yes" or "Read-intent only". I guess you have "Read-intent only". If you set this to "Yes" instead Orion can read the databases on the secondary without the need to change the connection string. As Solarwinds does not understand…

Hi I'm also interested in how to do this. /Thomas

Does anybody have the possibility to check these two things out: What's the memory values in the database for the "failing" servers? What does the server report via snmp? (Use a snmp-browser to check the server directly) If we know this we can point on the function that is "lying" or calculating wrong. Is it microsoft or…

Agree, I have the same problem with W2KSP4. 250% mem used. With so many people having the same problem, Solawinds should do something! /SeaShore

One thing to consider is that before upgrade: * All traps and syslogs also came in as of now * they where stored in the orion database in the [traps] and [syslog] tables * as a table grown, so does the database, and it will not shrink in file size as tables are emptied Now, after upgrade: * traps and syslogs come in as…

Hi I also have this question. A customer want to log all user activity. Can it be done? Peace!

I have an installation with a server with 2 GB of RAM and 2 GB swapfile. The meter shows 250% memory used. It is Win2000 but with SP4 so it should not be that bug It cant be that it calculates with the swapfile for that should only add upp to 200%. Any other idea? /SeaShore

Thanks all for the inspiration! Built some more on this code: SELECT N.Caption AS [Node], ToString(N.UnManageFrom) AS [Suppressed From], CASE WHEN ToString(N.UnManageUntil)='Jan 1 9999 12:00AM' THEN ' - Forever - ' ELSE ToString(N.UnManageUntil) END AS [Suppressed TO], CONCAT('/NetPerfMon/Images/Vendors/',N.Icon) AS…

Agree! Feature request! Would also like to be able to configure a secondary mailserver. We have on some places sms-alerts as well but not everywhere.

Hmm, tried to hack the database a bit. As there is a table called NodeCategories with only Other, Network and Server value AND in the table NodesData there are columns like: 'Category', 'CustomCategory' and 'EffectiveCategory' I thought I could add a category to the table 'NodeCategory' and add that value in…

At one customer we use these kind of variables in the to-feild: ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.CustomProperties.Site}_Solarwinds_Larm@custom.com Where the custom property "site" is a mandatory field telling where the node is places and "site_solarwinds@customer.com" is a distribution group for each site. Works pretty good.

IPAM custom properties WAS stored in another table in the database. As of IPAM 4.8 they are on the same place as the other custom properties.

Hi There are several built in templates into SAM that can monitor various aspects of Office 365: I think all of them use Powershell to get the data.

Hi all Confirmed as a bug from support and dev. Awaiting fix....

support case #911654

Hi Had the same problem. Restarted all orion services, did not help. Restarted the whole server - fixed the problem! (Have NPM 11.5.2 and SAM 6.2.2)

I can only agree. I have been working with orion since 2003 and been a partner and reseller for almost that long. The new node-based licenses for SAM just don't make sense. Too expensive. Free polling engines, great. But if you have other modules like NPM, then you must pay for the APE's anyway. That way paying for them…

Take a look at "dependancys" under "all settings". With that you can say that one node is depending on another. If one is down the depending bodes will not be "down" but instead "unreachable" 

Hi There might be another problem also. SQL management studio don't print the whole XML-statement in the newer versions of SSMS. (see https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/499618/ssms-allow-large-text-to-be-displayed-in-as-a-link) The work around is to change the above query (where 201 in this case was…

(Is it AlwaysOn Cluster or AlwaysOn Availability Groups? Not the same thing. Guessing Availability groups, AG) First, on the new primary node, check the event log for failed login attempts. If failed login attempts from orion you must setup the login-account in SQL on the new primary node. If you are using SQL accounts…

Found how to solve this!!! With inspiration of this article: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Admin_login_leads_to_Internal_500_error_but_Guest_login_works_for_Orion I looked at my installation. The settings in the database was fine but in IIS the binding to https was to "ip…

Got the same issue. Every time Orion server is restarted no admin accounts can log on to orion. Gets a "HTTP 500". OrionWeb.log say: "2016-10-12 11:59:33,579 [60] ERROR ASP.global_asax - Application_Error(19c9f3f5b320464bae24e7f59348ee7f) System.Web.HttpUnhandledException (0x80004005): Exception of type…

There should not be any difference with if the IP is public or private as long as the Orion server has network access to the node. If YOU can ping the node from the orion server, ORION should also be able to.

Custom Properties i just what I want to use it with. Great! /Thomas

Another strange thing on the same matter. In [IPAM_Events] there is an eventtype=920 when a ip address is changed. I use the column ObjectID2 to join in the [IPAM_node] but half of the times when we reserve an IP address there is NULL in that column. Not always. Can't find any reason why here. Anyone have a clue to this?
