Hi, Have you tried to press Ctrl and + on your keyboard. It should increase the fonts in your browser. Ctrl and - press simultaneously will decrease it. HTH, Yann

Hi, I assume you are trying to forward the events of your Cisco devices to Orion NPM. You can do this using Syslog protocol. On the Orion server, there is a service named "SolarWinds Syslog Service", it is intended to collect Syslog messages sent from network devices. Ensure it is started if you want to start collecting…

Hi, 1) Volume View Error As per this function error: EWWeekGrid.OnLoad(EventArgs e) It could be due to an Energy Wise resource on the Volume Details view. Go to Admin > Manage Views. Copy the Volume Details view. Edit the copy of the view. Remove the Energy Wise resources (if there are some like I suppose...) and preview…

Hi, I cannot find a such variable either: Could a classic space work in the command you are configuring in the Device Template ? Could you detail what is the result of pressing space on your device in that scenario? (Does it switch to another menu?) Could an arrow replace the space key? Thanks, Yann

Hi, Could you post examples of SNMP Traps you received in Orion from these Cisco devices? SNMP Traps do not have any severity defined like you would have in Syslog messages. However, it could be defined in the Trap details field. Thanks in advance for sharing one or more examples. Yann

Hi Jeff, This should help you: Showing Graph from different nodes Regards, Yann

Hi, See this post: Engineer's Toolset uses the same MIB Database as Orion NPM so it is the same procedure. Thanks, Yann

Hi, You probably need to setup 2 alerts...1 for the Critical status and another for the Down. Could you post how look like your current alert? (Trigger and Reset conditions). Thanks, Yann

Hi, The Adv Alert wizard does not let you set a count condition...so this seems like a feature request. Alternatively the following post might help you: Thanks, Yann

The IE Tab add-on can be of some help: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

Hi, Second Question, When did SW take away the ability to create a separate DB for NTA? From what I remember, the NTA tables have always been part of the NPM database. Since NTA v3.1, developers created distinct SQL Server filegroups for the NTA tables which allow you to put these tables on different disk arrays to improve…

Hi, Have you tried this?

Hi, Orion does not have mapping solution such as Zenoss for the Traps. It does not Classify/Transform Traps. A Trap does not become an Orion event when it is received by the Trap service, it remains a Trap. To get alerted if you receive a Disk Failure trap from a NetApp filer, you will have to setup an alert/rule through…

Hi, If you add the &Dataformat=xls string at the end of a report URL, it will prompt you to download a file in the excel format. you can as well use &Dataformat=csv . I have only been able to use the csv format with Orion Report Scheduler, xls does not seem to work. How to Schedule reports:…

Hi, In the web console. Admin > Account Manager. Edit your account. Set "Allow Browser Integration" to No. Click on Submit. HTH, Yann

Hi, 1- A poller engine or polling engine increases the number of network elements your installation can handle. A single server can in theory handle up to 8000 network elements. When you reach a certain limit but needs to increase the number of network elements monitored you hire a new polling engine in your server's farm.…

Hi, ...but my question really was is there any reason anyone can think of that this would happen? Could NPM be causing it? We have changed some OIDs we poll for Cisco since Orion 9.1. We now manage the polling for Cisco devices better and as far as I know we still poll Old and New OID's. Example of this is Polling Cisco…

Hi, Have a look there: Thanks, Yann

Hi, A UnDP has been posted recently:F5 BigIP - Current Connection Tabular Poller It might be what you are looking for. HTH, Yann

Hi, One, I don't think I will be alerted if the dist is down now This is the purpose of the alert you are configuring. You might want to create an additional alert that covers only the distribution switches. second, what if I get an alert for the edge switch before orion knows the dist is down? Thoughts? You can minimize…

Hi, Is it posssible add custom Resources in Node Details View? :) Yes, Open the web console. Admin > Manage Views. Edit the Node Details resource. I have monitored two values (FCS errors and total bytes transfer from Proxim devices) from two OID and I would like to add relationship between that two values in percent, You…

Hi, 5. Configuration of Network Monitoring (Orion NPM) can Automatic Backup Configuration ? All your need to backup is the NetPerfMon Database, the Maps and Reports. \Program Files\Solarwinds\Orion\Maps & \Reports 6. Could be customize of task schedule e.g. set schedule time for discovery device every week or month. Orion…

Hi, I see two solutions of doing it: 1) Use Asterisk with the auto-dial and swift features: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+auto-dial+out http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+swift 2) Use a service provider such as Telemessage: http://www.telemessage.com/landLineSms.html HTH, Yann

...it's difficult to test alerts without bringing the units down... For future issues, if you have Engineer's Toolset, you can use the SNMP Trap Editor to generate traps and test your alerts. It makes easy to simulate traps with the same variable bindings as "real" ones. Start > All Programs > Solarwinds Engineer's Toolset…

Hi, Below is the definition of the OID used to retrieve the Receive Discards stats in the IF-MIB : --- Inbound Discards: The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding…

Hi, Since Orion can poll a device only on single port, a solution where you only have one node in Orion will involve having an external abstraction layer which would redirect the requests to the right port. I am not sure the above is possible. The only work around I see from the Orion NPM side is to add multiple times your…

Hi, If the HP-UX SNMP agent does not support the Host-Resources-MIB, you will not be able to collect the RAM, CPU and Disks utilization by listing resources on the device. If, instead it supports private MIBs, you can setup Universal Device Pollers to poll the relevant OIDs. Someone shared few UnDPs here: HTH, Yann

Hi ciag, This has been asked by other customers and is referenced internally under the Orion Feature Request TT# 8767. Thanks Yann

Hi, Have you tried the following? Configure your Transform poller to not store historical stats or create a another transform poller that only keeps the latest value. Select Fields Node Name Interface Name Status (From Custom Pollers (Current Status) > Custom Interface Pollers > Status) Filter Results Poller Name is equal…

After that it works fine until 2:30 AM the next morning Looks like the default database maintenance schedules (2:15 AM). You should review the database maintenance log files (swdebugMaintenance.log.x) to figure out if this is the issue. HTH, Yann
