Hi, Could you post a screenshot of the Trap displayed in Trap Viewer on which you want to apply a rule? This would be easier to explain with an example. Thanks, Yann

Hi, The following link should answer some of your questions: A HSE can cover all the polling engines of an Orion instance (1 DB + X Polling Engines). As detailed in the thread I linked, 2 Orion instances would provide better performances and stability. If required an EOC can be installed to facilitate the…

Hi, You can try that in the Trigger Condition Tab: First condition will be * Poller Name is equal to "Poller Name to select with the drop down button" Poller name can be selected under Custom Node Pollers > Poller Name Second condition will be * Poller Status is equal/greater/less/etc. than "Value" Poller Status can be…

Hi, The steps to troubleshoot this would be to first figure out what is the value stored in the database for the LastBoot field and what returns the device when Orion polls it. Once done this, we will know if the problem is due to Orion or the device. The below SQL query should give you the list of the devices and their…

> Is this something SolarWinds can do? This should not be a problem. You will have to create an advanced alert to trigger an alert based on a Universal Device Poller. * Start > All Programs > Solarwinds Orion > Advanced Alert Manager * Click on Configure Alerts * Click on new to configure a new alert. * Type a name for…

Hi, Have you tried to configure DateTime filters in the Filter Results tab? If it does not provide enough combinations, you can click on Report > Show SQL. Click on the SQL Tab, copy the SQL Query. Create an Advanced SQL Report (File > New > Advanced SQL Report) and add DateTime conditions in the WHERE statement. Rgds, Yann

 Morning :-), 1. This field only accepts numbers so yes this is a feature request. 2. The Alert Manager front end wizard which writes in the Alerts table does not actually provide a way to select all the database fields you need in the Alert conditions, only the most relevant. I have done some tests where I edited the…

Hi, Login under an admin account, go to Admin > Manage Views. Edit the view (Node Details I suppose) and remove this resource. It is safe to remove it if the UnDP has been deleted. HTH, Yann

Could you delete the following keys in the registry contained in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolarWinds.net\Configuration Manager\Settings ? * Database Catalog * Database Connection * Database Server * Database Type Once deleted them, re-run the configuration wizard and select database then next. You should be prompted to…

Someone asked the same question in another post. Follow this link to see how to quickly map Interfaces indexes and their matching names:

Hi Jeff, There is no utility for this. A solution would be to export the settings of your views using SQL Server Import/Export Wizard. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141209.aspx Settings are stored in the following tables: Views Resources ResourceProperties Ensure you do not overwrite existing settings on the…

Did you setup a Universal Device Poller that reports you when your UPS power is lost? If not, setup one. I do not know which OID would be the most relevant. Run a MIB walk on your UPS private mib and you should find which OIDs are available. Once done follow the below post to create your alert:

Only reports allow you to compute available statistics to display trends. Advanced Alert can only use available stats without being able to modify them. This looks like a feature request. Alternatively, you could use UnDP and Transforms pollers to compute trends. Then you can configure a an alert on the result of the…

Hi, For some reasons, I think some of the DLLs have not been registered correctly during the installation. First, try to repair the installation (only repair, do not "again" fully reinstall it). If that does not work, then I would either run procmon to see which DLL cannot be loaded or install the evaluation on another…

Hi Phil, If you have the Toolset Integration configured and Engineer's Toolset installed on your Desktop, you can follow that post: and then modify it to run the Wake-On-Lan utility. \Program Files\Solarwinds\Engineer's Toolset\WakeOnLAN.exe I did not test it but in theory that should work :-). HTH, Yann

Hi, You can create a custom property either on the interfaces or on the nodes storing the name of the provider. Then in Reports you can group the results with this Custom Property. This will summarized results from these lines. HTH, Yann

Hi Oristilli, You can check on the "Cisco Feature Navigator" if your Cisco Models support the NetFlow Feature. tools.cisco.com/.../index.jsp Yann

Hi Paul, Here is how I usually setup advanced alerts for UnDP/Custom Pollers; * Start > All Programs > Solarwinds Orion > Advanced Alert Manager * Click on Configure Alerts * Click on new to configure a new alert. * Type a name for your new alert. * Select the Trigger Condition tab. * For the type of property to monitor…

Hi, It uses the SNMPv2-MIB:sysObjectOID - 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2 Please post your unknown devices in the following thread: Tell us your "Unknown" devices! You will need to provide the Vendor and Model names of your devices too. Thanks, Yann

Hi CameraMonkey, The Trap "Trigger Threshold" feature will not help you there as it is made to avoid flooding alerts except if we receive more traps than the threshold define. It does not fit with the scenario. Instead of using SNMP traps, you could use the Universal Device Poller and poll a relevant OID such as:…

Hi Brian, Have you tried the "Tabular Universal Device Poller" resource, it seems to do what you need. Edit your view, Click on the + to add a resource. Expand the "Node Detail Reports - Resources that apply to a single network node" group. Select "Tabular Universal Device Poller" and click on Submit. Click then on Done.…

Hi, We also have several different types of devices from IPS sensors, to Network General Sniffer Appliances, to Spam Firewalls that all report "net-snmp Linux" You can change this, see this thread: NET-SNMP? HTH, Yann

Hi, Did you try the following command to set the sampling rate on your ports? setmib 1.3.6.1.4.1.14706.1.1.5.1.4.11.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.XX.1 -i 50 where XX is the number of the port and 50 the sample rate.

Hi, I think this is more an optical illusion due to the height difference between both charts. I reduced the height of the Orion chart and they pretty look like twins. Let me know what you think.

have tried using the Linux/UNIX scripts provided with APM to get some more metrics from my servers, but the grand majority of them fail. Could you give an example of which scripts failed? Most of the sample scripts provided with APM simply run a snmpget command on the server which polls the local SNMP agent. Thanks, Yann

Hi, Have you tried to use the Extend feature of Net-SNMP? http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmpd.conf.html and scroll down to Extending Agent Functionality. It can run scripts and return you the results. Here is a thread talking about this feature: HTH, Yann

Hi, You should have further information about the error in the Application and System Event logs. Start > run > eventvwr + ok It seems you are having some permissions issues, probably to start the "Solarwinds Orion NPM" COM+ application. The configuration wizard might have had some difficulties to install the web console.…

Hi, Have you tried to use the Policy Reports? see page 105 of the below PDF: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/orionNCM/docs/orionNCMAdministratorGuide.pdf You can search pattern in your configs based on Regular expression.

The following document might help you to configure it using the CLI: "Enabling NetFlow and NetFlow Data Export on Cisco Catalyst Switches" http://www.solarwinds.com/support/Netflow/docs/OrionNetFlowSwitches.pdf

Hi, If you do not want to make available some of the tools to NOC team in this company, you can replace their executables with e.g. the ping.exe one. If you delete the executables, Engineer's Toolset might pop up a message telling you that the installation is corrupted. Concerning the Cisco Config Transfer tool, you need…
