No, you will need another Toolset license for the second computer. Alternatively, install the free Kiwi Syslog Server on this second computer. http://www.solarwinds.com/products/freetools/kiwi_syslog_server/

Hi, Have you tried to transform the poller and show the modified results in a gauge? 100 - UnDP_Value = Transformed_Value That will invert the result and show the batterylife "used" instead of the batterylife "remaining". This is only a different way of seeing the status but you will have the gauge in the Yellow/Red part…

Hi, Could you check the data retention settings in System Manager? Start > All Programs > Solarwinds Orion > System Manager File > Orion Network Performance Monitor Settings In the database tab, check the Statistics Summarization parameters. If the Daily Statistics are set to something under 60 days or so, it explains why…

Hi, My scenario would be: 1) Move the database to the new separate server (first down time for Orion/NCM) 2) Move Orion to the new server (Second down time for Orion) 3) Move NCM to the new server (Second down time for NCM) 4) Rebuild the Old server and install the HSE (Should not require a Third Orion down time). HTH, Yann

Hi, This looks like a feature request for EOC => http://thwack.com/forums/50.aspx If you cannot wait it to be implemented here is what you could try assuming both databases are on the same SQL Server instance or in the case of multiple instances, permissions are setup correctly (linked servers). Create views that combines…

Hi, Could you check that your Recovery Model is set to simple for the EOC database? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189272(SQL.90).aspx The SQL Server database transaction log file is maintained for recovery purposes, but it grows rapidly if you are not using the Simple Recovery model. For more information…

 NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is compliant with NetFlow version 5 and 9. So you can use the latest version. The how-to was written before NTA v3 was released...

Hi, The Syslog view (Syslog.aspx) is a built-in page and cannot be modified without touching the source code of the page. Since this is not supported, I advise you to create a feature request thread here: http://thwack.com/forums/57.aspx Check quickly if it has not already been asked... Thanks, Yann

Hi, A VBscript should do the trick. If you need to monitor it continuously, integrate the script into an APM Windows Script Monitor. You will have to write a WMI script that will check the HNet_ConnectionProperties WMI Class which has the "IsFirewalled" variable set to True/False. This WMI Class is in the…

Hi, This post should help you: Does it occur regularly or is it the first time you are seeing a such gap? Thanks, Yann

I searched the forum and found that thread: HTH, Yann

Hi Copster, You will have to reset the configuration wizard to be able to reconfigure the database settings. Below are the steps to solve this issue. * Edit the registry to tell to Orion to run the configuration wizard from scratch * Start > run > regedit + Ok * Open this section in the registry.…

The VoIP Monitor modules requires the devices to support the Cisco IP SLA protocol. If it does not then you will not get any performance statistics from it. I doubt Nortel devices support Cisco IP SLA features but it is worth to check. If the statistics you want to report are available through SNMP, you might want to have…

Hi, You script needs to return a value when it exit to set the status of the monitor. See the following thread for an example: wmi ping, what is wrong here. Instead of setting manually the strComputer variable in the script with the below line: strComputer = "localhost" You should pass its value as an argument: strComputer…

Hi Tom, Did you try to use the Historical Traffic Report named "Average and Peak Traffic Rates" and to modify its Time Frame to Last 3 Months? Is it what you are looking for? This report is installed by default. Yann

Hi, I reproduced the issue on my servers. Please open a support ticket so that we log the bug. As a work around, you can either create a new view and display the report into a "Report from Report Writer" resource or use the ReloadEvery extension from firefox. Thanks, Yann For Internal Folks: #12797

 Hi, The eval version of Orion NPM is an SLX (unlimited number of Network Elements monitored) which becomes locked by itself after 30 days of utilization. The full version has different licensing possibilities and will never be locked. They both have the same features as the aim of the evaluation is to test everything…

Hi, Here is what you could try: 1- Edit the Enable Level of the device in the Login Information section to <No Enable Login> 2- Add/Edit the following lines in your template: <Command Name="EnterEnableMode" Value="super"/> <Command Name="DownloadConfig" Value="${EnterEnableMode}${CRLF}display current-configuration"/> 3-Try…

Hi mstensta, You can do it by using the "Custom HTML or Text" Resource type. The procedure is not obvious to detail...but I'll try. I assume you are using Orion version 9.1 as the code to use is different in that version compared to the previous ones. First of all you will have to create a new view Login the web console as…

Hi, I would first check if a table in a MIB could be polled to get the list of the MAC Addresses. How: Search the web, MIB Walk, SNMP MIB Browser, snmpwalk, Manufacturer's Documentation, etc. Which APs models are installed on your network? Then I would create a Universal Device Poller (UnDP) to poll that table. How: I…

Hi, Could you try this? : Ensure as well you are running the latest version of Orion (9.1 SP4) and if this is already the case, I would advise you to open a ticket with the support. * To Open a Ticket: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/ticket You have a first issue with the JobScheduler that cannot be reached even if it is…

Hi, Currently only the Admin web user can change the password of the other web user accounts. As a workaround, you can create a custom menu item that goes to http://<servername>/NetPerfMon/Admin/ResetPassword.asp instead of using the built-in menu item. That should get them back to the correct page. For internal guys:…

Hi, Within Orion, you can give a try to the below Universal Device Poller: as well as this report: There is no need to install a MIB into Orion, you need to find the OID to be polled to retrieve the Serial Number if the above Universal Device Poller does not work. I am not sure how to do it in CatTools. HTH, Yann

NPM uses ICMP for the Node Status. SNMP is used for the Interfaces Status.

I don't suppose there is a "run now" button somewhere is there? Start > All Programs > Solarwinds Orion > Advanced Features > Database Maintenance Also, with the addition of the new filegroups for the NetFlow data, what is the best way to migrate the database to a new server? When restoring/attaching the database on the…

Hi, If you expand "Show Advanced Options", select Enumeration format while setting up the UnDP and then click on Map Values, does it convert the ASCII strings into something meaningful? Ensure you are using the latest MIB Database. * Login to the Customer Portal. * Click on Orion MIB Database to download the updated MIB. *…

Hi, If you add a Hot-StandBy Engine to an existing Orion NPM installation, it will become an Active/Standby cluster with a common database. For more information, have a look at this page: http://www.solarwinds.com/products/orion/scalability/hotstandby.aspx Feel free to ask if you have any question or to search the hot…

Hi, Can you try to do the following? Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Configuration and Auto-Discovery > Configuration Wizard. Select WebSite option and click on Next. Configure the IP Address to "All Unassigned" instead of binding a specific IP. Click on Next. Say Yes when it asks you to use the same website and…
