how are we going to implement/incorporate this to the solarwinds orion? The idea I proposed requires you to have the Orion Application Performance Monitor (APM) Module installed on the top of Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM). The steps to create a WMI Performance Counter monitor are described at the page 40-41 of…

Hi, Let's say you have a huge amount of Netflow packets to process from your devices and you find out the disks are the bottleneck, a solution would be to provide in the most efficient scenario one disk array in RAID1+0 for each database filegroup (.mdf, 4x.ndf, .ldf). Most of the time mdf+ndf files are on a drive and ldf…

There is an alternative WMI class than the Quota one to monitor the client side of mounted volumes. I discovered that after I posted in the above link. This WMI Class is called Win32_LogicalDisk: HTH, Yann

I am not sure if it will work but you might try to modify the below line from: Set oSvc = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Security)}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") To: Set oSvc = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Let me know if this helps. Thanks, Yann

 Do you get any specific errors in the windows events when you try to start it? That might help us to find the cause. Meanwhile, you should try to reinstall this service with the configuration wizard. Start > All Programs > Solarwinds Orion > (Configuration and Auto-Discovery) > Configuration Wizard Select Services. Let…

You can give a try to the following as well and keep the Alert Suppression Empty. Both solutions should work:

Windows Script Monitors in APM execute the script on the Orion server itself. By comparison, Linux Script Monitor scp the script to the remote server and then run it. So the APM option could still work.

"clogHistSeverity.33614 = 5" Is the 33614 number a variable or does it remain the same all the time?

 Another way to inform Orion about the number of files would be to use passive notification with Traps or Syslog messages. You can e.g. create a script that will check the number of files on your drive periodically and then forward the value returned into a syslog message to the Orion Syslog Server. This one can then…

I have monitored the exchange server in the npm. When I tried to click the node, it still appears to be "Node Details- <Name of the Exchange Server>". I just saw that one of its interface is virtual, as reflected in the display. You need to monitor the VMWare ESX server to have the name of your Exchange server appears as…

You should run a mib walk on the private MIB tree (1.3.6.1.4.1) to see which MIBs are supported. This post explains how to do a MIB walk if needed:

Glad to hear you managed to have this report done. If you have enough time, feel free to contribute and to add your Custom report in the Content Exchange zone if the report is not too specific to your installation (with e.g. Custom Properties) or simply detail your report query and the custom pollers you used by replying…

Please open a support ticket so that someone can have a closer look to your installation. Add the Thread URL in your case description to explain what has been tried. Thanks, Yann

Hi, how to check it is added as ICMP or SNMP? Start > All Programs > Solarwinds Orion > System Manager Right-Click on a device and select Node Details. Check the Object Sub-Type in the list of informations. It can be either ICMP or SNMP. Regards, Yann

b-1: The Hot-Standby regularly checks the KeepAlive entry in the Engines table for each poller and take over the role if the field has not been updated for a while. Needless to say that you need to synchronize the datetime on all your servers. When the Hot-Standby takes over the role of a polling engine, it acts like the…

dont have the ability to select the custom poller in report writer. If you are running the latest version of NPM, you should open a support ticket for this. Do i have to use SQL scripts for this? Meanwhile the above problem to be fixed, please find below an example of a SQL query I am working on with Adam (It might not…

Hi, MetaBase.xml should be in the following folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv

 What other applications or services could be using this file? Unlocker can find it for you. ccollomb.free.fr/.../ . That's a free tool. Use it at your own risks.

Hello Contracer, the Net-SNMP MIB propose the MIB table: Loadaveload - 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.7.3 it is supposed to return "The 1 , 5 and 10 minute load averages." If that table is supported simply create a UnDP to poll the relevant values. I found this from the following article:…

Do you know a wuick way to check which array are running? What is the model/brand of your database server?

What would cause some WMI queries to work and others not to work? Sometimes the WMI class we try to poll does not appear on the remote server, why...good question :-) The steps in the below post usually solves most of the issues: When you listed the WMI classes (Enum Classes button in the wbemtest.exe app.) did you see the…

the question is after migration from orion v 8.5 to orion 9 shall i deactivate the license for the orion 7 from the license manager? No you do not need to deactivate the license, however this is a good practice to not keep old licenses on your server so that for future upgrades, you might avoid getting error messages like…

Open NCM Configuration Manager Right-Click on the device and select Edit Selected Node... In the Device Details tab, scroll down to the Communication section. Check to what is set Device Command Template setting. If this is set to Auto Determine, we will have to do some "NCM guessing/mind reading" or use the session trace.…

 Do you get any error in the Application/System events when you try to access to the webconsole?

hum, could a UnDP on the below OID return the Username? crasUsername - 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.392.1.3.21.1.1 I know it exists the following MIB for VPN monitoring: CISCO-REMOTE-ACCESS-MONITOR-MIB:ciscoRemoteAccessMonitorMIB (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.392) SNMP Navigator And CISCO-IPSEC-FLOW-MONITOR-MIB:ciscoIpSecFlowMonitorMIB…

Hi, You can add a WMI performance Counter to your template which will poll the Win32_LogicalDisk WMI class. The FreeSpace property in that class is probably what you need to check. Compare it with the size property to find out which Threshold to configure based on the disk size. Page 40-41 of the PDF:…

I think this would required some javascript/ASP.Net code to be able to expand/collapse groups. The custom HTML resource only accepts HTML code. Alternatively, create a new resource. You can find examples in the below thread.

Which formula you would like to make on the two pollers?

No. Same as events, this would be a feature request. Not that adv. alerts gives you who acknowledged them. If for some reasons, there is an urgent need to Undo the action, you can edit the Acknowledge field for the events and alerts directly in the DB. Do it at your own risks. Acknowledged/AcknowledgedBy fields in…

is that wrong ? No. This is the correct setting. You should run a wireshark trace on both the Orion box and the monitored server while you add the node to see if: 1) the SNMP packets leave the Orion box. 2) They reach the monitored server. 3) The monitored server replies to these requests 4) The responses reach the Orion…
