Do the following commands work your device? terminal length 0 terminal width 0 the above commands are used by NCM in most of the Cisco templates to disable the ---more--- prompts before to display the configuration to avoid recording them. Once you have disabled the ---more--- prompts NCM should stop doing false positives.…

Hi, Have a look there: Regards, Yann

Engineer's Toolset does not have a SQL Server database backend for any of the tools. It uses MS Access DB files limited to 2GB. Are you sure you are not talking about Orion Network Performance Monitor instead? => http://thwack.com/forums/9.aspx Thanks, Yann

Hi, I do not know what happened when you posted your message but I cannot see the screenshot. I tried with 4 different browsers...and same result. Feel free to post it again, or add the error you might have in the \Inetpub\Solarwinds\OrionWeb.log file if this is a problem on the web console. Thanks, Yann

Could you follow this WMI Troubleshooting guide and let us know if that helps? www.solarwinds.com/.../APMWMITroubleshooting.pdf Yann

Hi, In a such scenario I would first have a look at the JobEngine/JobScheduler logs: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\JobEngine\Logs You should check the other UnDPs, they could be affected too. Feel free to open case if you need someone to have a look at the logs. HTH, Yann

 Hi Mohamed, You should open a ticket with the customer service to ensure you can correctly license your Orion NPM. To Open a Ticket: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/ticket In the form, select Customer Service. -Yann

Hi, in the Trigger Condition tab when you edit your adv. alerts, there is an option called "Do no trigger this action until condition exists for more than". If you increase it to something higher than a reboot takes, it will not trigger the alert. You should create one alert that covers that specific period of the night…

Hi, APM allows you to add any component to a template or an assigned application. So if you know which Class you want to poll, there is no need to browse the available WMI Classes. ( Admin > (Settings) APM Settings > Managed Assigned Application Monitors or Manage Application Monitor Templates) Once you are on the edit…

Hi, This might be possible using a Universal Device Poller if the Juniper MIB allows to pull a such information. I do not know enough the Juniper MIBs to tell which OID you can poll for that but here is post that explains how to run a MIB walk on your firewall to see which OIDs are supported. If you cannot find the OID,…

Hi, 1- No. But only users that have the "Allow Account to Clear Events, Acknowledge Alerts and Syslogs" option set to yes can perform a such action. In General there is not feature to track user actions and then be able to audit them later. 2- Seems to be a feature request as the view does not allow this. You should add…

Hi, What could be the possible reason?... You script might constantly return the exit code 1 which means Down for APM. Exit Code - Meaning 0 - Up 1 - Down 2 - Warning 3 - Critical Any other value - Unknown HTH, Yann

Hi, Orion Report Writer can export your nodes list into a csv file. Start > All Programs > Solarwinds Orion > Alerting, Reporting and Mapping > Report Writer File > New Report Select Inventory and click on Ok. In the Select Fields tab, configure what you need to export. Once done click on Execute SQL Query. then to export…

Hi, The FROM statement is missing from your query. If you need to return data from mutliple tables you can use the JOIN statements. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_(SQL) HTH, Yann

Hi, Add the NodeID and InterfaceID fields in the report (Select Fields tab) and configure them to be hidden (Field Formatting tab). It should then let you save the report. If you have issues displaying the reports in the web console, the following post could help you: Thanks, Yann

Hi, which part of Solarwinds must I use to makethis install at the new SQL server? does anything need to bere-installed at the Orion server or is it all done at the SQLserver? While you will move your database, you will have to stop all the Orion services. Once the database will be available at the new location you will…

Hi, ATM, I see two way of monitoring Network Volumes. If anyone has different ways of monitoring its SANs please share your knowledge . First, you can monitor the volumes on the clients that use a mounted volume. Second, you can monitor the SAN volumes on the server itself. For the first solution, try to list the resources…

Hi, Check that the time is synchronized between the Orion Web Site server and the SQL Server. it might be as simple as that...at least it occured few times to me. HTH, Yann

Hello, 1) On the NetFlow Summary Page, is the Last Received field up to date for the interfaces/router displaying a "Chart error - no data"? The devices might have stopped sending the flow or the NTA module is encountering some issues handling the flows. 2) but when i try to access the database settings via the web…

Hi, Can you run smoothly the reports from the win32 app? Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion Network Configuration Manager > Orion NCM Policy Reporter . The web console log file is located there: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\Cirrus\Logging\CirrusWeb.log You might see more information…

I agree with Jtimes... Your Polling Engine might not have its time synchronized with the database server and/or the other Orion servers which causes the Monitor Polling Engines utility to show you that the service is down. Probably a ~False Positive~ . HTH, Yann

Hi, I am not sure if the SNMP MIB Browser remains available after the 30 days trials but it is easy to use and has a GUI. http://www.solarwinds.com/products/toolsets/ When toolset cannot be installed I use snmpwalk. You can get it at the below URL: http://www.elifulkerson.com/articles/net-snmp-windows-binary-unofficial.php…

Hi, - when are we going to monitor windows services versus wmi You can monitor the Windows Services through WMI or SNMP. WMI is the protocol and the Windows Services are the components you wish to monitor using that protocol. WMI and/or SNMP allows you to gather information from the device. The advantage of WMI for a…

Hello, Currently a node should be only under the following states: Up, Warning, Down, Unmanaged . From the Admin guide: Status Icons Only Volumes and Interfaces should go under the Unknown state. It usually means that Orion cannot retrieve information through SNMP thus letting it blind from the real status of the network…

Hi, From the SQL Server 2005 Database Application Template. Page Reads Per Second: SELECT PagereadsPersec from Win32_PerfFormattedData_MSSQLSERVER_SQLServerBufferManager Page Writes Per Second: SELECT PagewritesPersec from Win32_PerfFormattedData_MSSQLSERVER_SQLServerBufferManager HTH, Yann

 This should be possible. However you will only have the UnDP resources compared to the dedicated resources developed for VMware ESX Servers. You can use the MIBs from SNMP Informant and then create Universal Device Pollers. http://www.wtcs.org/informant/OS/OS-overview.htm#WMI_Provider_for_Virtual_Server…

Could you post a the details of one of the traps the way you see it in the Trap Viewer? The latest Orion MIB db contains the CISCO-MAC-NOTIFICATION-MIB mib. Yann 

 You should have a look at this thread:

Hi, As per the Net-SNMP documentation, you can set a custom SysObject OID that would return something different than "Net-SNMP" to Orion NPM. http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmpd.conf.html and scroll down to the System Group section. If Sun has defined a SysObject OID for Solaris servers/workstations, then you could…

Hi, The UnDP and CustomMIBPollers files describe which OIDs NPM has to poll and is a format only used in NPM. They are completely different from the MIB files provided by Vendors. If you wish to add new MIBs in the Orion MIB database, then have a look at the following post: HTH, Yann
