The default 3com device template does not seem to contain a command to avoid getting the more prompts. You can edit it in preferred editor and modify the RESET command. \Program Files\Solarwinds\Configuration Command\DeviceTypes\3Com-1.3.6.1.4.1.43.1.16.4.ConfigMgmt-Commands As per the Command Reference Guide (page 37 of…

Actually that's more some ideas to keep in mind before you upgrade than a procedure. Do not necessarily follow the order. No you do not need to uninstall Orion NPM v8.5 before to upgrade to v9.1 . simply run the executable on the top, it will stop the services for you and upgrade the installation.

Hi all, The following thread can help you if you are using the Node With Problems resource. Regards, Yann

yes enabling Net-SNMP would be a good step. This will allow to monitor if some services are up or not. > we really aren't sure yet what we need to monitor I can't help you on this...may be some IBM websphere experienced users are lurking around this post...

Hi Doug, Based on the above post, I improved recently with a colleague the SQL Query. You only need the name of the Universal Device Poller from now on. You still have to tweak the fields you want or not to display. Thanks, Yann

Once repaired Orion NPM, you need to re-apply the latest Service Pack, as it does not do it automatically.

I would think so too. Perhaps your switch allows you to only restart the SNMP process without rebooting it.

The Oracle User Experience Monitor in APM goes further than testing if the Oracle process is running. http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/wwhelp/wwhimpl/api.htm?href=OrionAPMPHComponentTypesOracleQA.htm

Graphing the results of a table will not be possible for now as you guessed. However we might be able to create a report that shows last hour/day/week results with a different summarization minute/15min/hour for e.g. active calls. First, setup a UnDP that polls the isdnBearerOperStatus with historical stats enabled. Then…

Hi, I recently had the same issue with a customer. ipMonitor will not work with wildcard certificates. You will have to use a certificate without any wildcards. For internal guys: Feature Request #2587 HTH, Yann

Rory, This tutorial should help you with few examples it describes: Learn how to configure Advanced Alerts in Orion Regards, Yann

I suggest you to open a support ticket so that someone can have a look at how you defined the alerts. Basic Alerts do not produce log files, so in your case it is a little bit harder than troubleshooting an advanced alert in the same scenario. To Open a Ticket: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/ticket Once you received…

Another solution could be to write your own script which authenticates and check that the page after the login step is returned. Windows Script Monitor in APM allows you to execute such scripts on regular basis.

Hi, Could you check which type of event it is? You can filter by type the Events view to figure this out or run the following SQL Query: SELECT N.Caption, E.EventTime, E.EventType, E.Message FROM Events AS E INNER JOIN Nodes AS N ON N.NodeID = E.NetworkNode WHERE N.Caption = 'NameOfYourNode' You will have to put the name…

Where to check if the time are in sync and not sure about security reasons? Simply compare clocks on servers at the bottom right of your desktop or type time /T in command line. Use the UTC time if servers are on different time zones (type w32tm /tz in command line to know the time zone configured). Some links that might…

Hi Dave, If you add a custom property to the interfaces you want to report or if they begin with the same name, the results can be filtered too in the WHERE condition. e.g.: WHERE Interfaces.Report95thPercentile = 'true' or it could be: WHERE Interfaces.Caption LIKE "%FastEthernet%" and you can combine multiple filters in…

The status is set through the exit code of a script. 0-Up | 1-Down | 2-Warning | 3-Critical | Any other value - Unknown I attached a script that does nearly what you need. It searches for a specific event (that you need to modify, WMI Explorer is handful for that) and then compare it with the last value returned stored in…

Hi, The following report might be what you are looking for: A user has created resources to show the same information in the web console: Alternatively there are some default Node Availability Reports in Report Writer: Start > All Programs > Solarwinds Orion > Alerting, Reporting and Mapping > Report Writer Expand the…

Hello, Afarmer is right if the RAM is monitored with the CPU and Memory poller (which you can select when you list the resources on a node) to use the ${PercentMemoryUsed} variable. Nodes Variables (Administration Guide) If you are monitoring the RAM as a Volume, then you will have to use ${VolumePercentUsed} . Volume…

Is it possible to active both direct and indirect transfer mode? No. Once at a time or you need to add twice the device as detailed in the link I posted above. When using tftp my device sends a binary file. Will that work using the indirect transfer? I am honestly not sure. Can you open this bin file like a text file, if…

I did not read your first email carefully . What you want to achieve falls in the feature requests category. Is this something that I will have to do with Alerts? With APM 2.5 and NPM 9.1, Yes, I would take this path to achieve your scenario requirements.

Could you post some details about the advanced alert you setup? a screenshot of the Trigger condition would be great. Thanks.

You should run a MIB Walk on the hrSWRunTable - 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2 and see if it returns the name of the applications you need to monitor. If they are there, then open a ticket as advised by Denny as something might be wrong in APM. If you cannot find them, you will probably need to refer to the SNMP Agent documentation…

 Sorry I though we were talking about Orion (I read too quickly). in ipMonitor like in Orion (without APM) you cannot specify a custom WMI counter either however you have the possibility to use external scripts with the "external process" monitor type. You can easily write a vbscript that will query a specific WMI class…

 Thanks for the details. This alert has two predefined templates that can be edited with the Engineer's Toolset SNMP Trap Editor utility. If you need to create your own trap template, copy it in the \Program Files\Solarwinds\Common folder. As their names enlighten us, there are more details in the detailed one. See the…

I cut the x in the .asp . It should be aspx. I am fixing this in my first post.

Is the an ETA for this feature I will let someone from the development team reply to this as I do not know. ... and will it be supported under version 8.5.x? New features and fixes are only added to new releases and/or Service Packs, so it will not be 8.5.x .

Hello, I recently discovered a WMI Class that allows to monitor Mounted Volumes on Windows servers: Win32_LogicalDisk. It enables to monitor the FreeSpace and the Size of a mounted volume. I first talked about it there. If some windows server are using the SAN volumes, you can monitor the client side of the storage instead…

 The configuration of the nodes which can be browsed through system manager is in the database. If you moved Orion to another box then it created another entry in the Engines table and you need to follow the step "Reassigning Nodes" in the guide Mark gave you in his post. -Yann 

Ensure the services are stopped on both servers (Disable them if needed) for the compatibility steps. if the time is not sync between all the servers (db included) it could explain why the Hot-StandBy fires up all the time.
