  • Hi, 1- on the NetFlow home page, check the LAST DATA RECEIVED value in the NetFlow Sources resource. 2- Check that the NetFlow Service is listening on the port you configured to be used (UDP 2055 by default) and in command line run: netstat -ab 3- If the NetFlow service is correctly listening then run a network trace to…

  • ...but is it possible that the avg disk queue length is creating a bottle neck that isn't allowing polling stats to be added to the database... I think you found yourself the issue. We recommend RAID1+0 disk arrays for its performance in writing/reading data. Which type of Disk Arrays do you have on the SQL Server? Is the…

  • Hi, Orion cannot buffer alert emails actions. Here is what you can do instead: A work around would be to install a lightweight SMTP server on Orion such as hmailserver (http://www.hmailserver.com/) and to configure a DNS round robin name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_robin_DNS) which will failover to the Orion server…

  • Hi, Desktop and notebook are classified into"Unknown" type, and I search in System Manager for SysObjectID, I foundthat it is empty for these two unknown type.

  • Hi, I have checked several times that the rule is set up correctly To check this, I usually use an action to color the Traps being collected. If the action is not executed, then your alert/rule is not properly configured or the Trap Service is encountering an issue which should be seen in the windows events. HTH, Yann

  • Hi, You should either use a Custom Property or the SNMP Location information to group your nodes and thus filter alerts more easily with conditions such as below:
    in Using IP address as a condition in an alert Comment by Yann February 2009
  • Hi, This could be done with some UnDPs and a report but not easily I think. Orion NCM provides a built-in inventory report that does what you need: The report is called "IP Addresses". HTH, Yann

  • Hi, The Hot-Standby engine only covers Orion NPM but not the modules. I am not aware of any work around for this. There is currently no Hot-Standby for any of the modules. I suggest you post in the feature request forum to show your interest in a such product. (Check first if it has not been posted yet.)…

  • Hi, Here is a solution you might want to give a try. If you have APM, you could run a VBscript that remotely run the "netsh diag ping" commands to check e.g. if you can ping the gateway/DNS servers and return the response time to APM with a Up/Down status depending your network thresholds. Concerning the DNS, this does not…
