If you are only moving the database to another server, there is no need to activate/deactivate any licenses. The license belong to Orion (plus the other modules), and as per what you said Orion stay on the same box, so no need there to bother with the licenses. As said by Dobbs, run the configuration wizard to connect…

Afaik, 9.5 does not recognize well some report schemas of previous version. I do not have the details. This has impacted few reports, especially Frame Relay reports. See the URL I posted before. As long as the report has been saved under Report Writer 9.5, there should be no more issues since its schema has been updated.

Hi, I think you might need to setup some Universal Device Poller which could poll the following MIB tables: NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB:dfEntry - 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.4.5.1 I am not sure if this is the most relevant MIB, I would advise you to do a MIB walk on the whole NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB to see which table returns the most…

Hi Pablo, Have you tried to configure the EnableIdentifier variable such as below? <Command Name=”EnableIdentifier” Value=”$”/>Let us know if it helps. By the way, there is a document you want probably to read: Modifying Device Command Templates Yann

Miron, How can you confirm the version and sp of APM as I am not seeing those options as you discribe. APM v2.0 has the feature I described . The last sp (14th November 08) for that version is the Service Pack 2 . You are probably running APM 1.0 . I advise you to have a look at the Release Notes to know how to upgrade:…

Hi, The following article might be of some help too: "How to transfer the logins and the passwords between instances of SQL Server 2005"http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992/When you attach/detach or backup/restore a database from one server to another one, permissions are not moved which usually leads to recreate the…

How can I shrink this? You can replace the JobEngine.sdf file by the JobEngine - Blank.sdf one. They are stored there C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\JobEngine\Data . Stop all the Orion services before to replace the sdf db. Once done, Start first the JobEngine service then the JobScheduler…

The process is currently to release the updated mapping db file in new releases. I do not know when the next release will be out but you can ask in the other thread and a product manager might give you some hints. Service Packs are intended to fix bugs, they usually do not include new features and Unknown Devices are more…

Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. Select Orion NPM. Click Change and select the Repair option in the wizard. Once done, reapply the latest SP on your server.

Not sure why since I have updated the Mibs in Orion at least I believe I have. Updating the MIB only helps you to find what you need to poll. When you know the OID, simply type it in. Have you tried the different SNMP Get types? If GET does not work, use GET NEXT and vice versa. if I do get some new MIB's from F5 who do I…

Hi Goran, Since your requirement is to not allow Orion NPM/APM SSH access to your equipements, this seems to be the only alternative to actively monitor the results of your Nagios scripts. I just tested it and it works (very well :). If you choose to use this solution, here are some Pro/Cons you will face compared to using…

do you agree that both requests are valid enough to be considered in the next or later releases? I cannot speak for the dev team but the more users are requesting a feature the highest is the probability to see that feature in a future release.

Are you using Advanced Alerts? You did not specify in your message if you checked them as well.

For internal guys: TT #11568

Hi Miron, Only a credential that has administrator rights on the target server has the necessary permissions to access the target server’s WMI services. Make sure that the username and password you are using belongs to an administrator on the target server. If the administrator credential is a domain member, be sure to…

If this team/staff is granted/mandated to troubleshoot problems discovered with the main monitoring system, then ET will make them more efficient. If their job is to pass on the issue discovered to another team, they will probably not use it. ET is used mostly for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting scenario.

s this something defined in the MIB? Yes. When you create/edit your UnDP, if you expand the "Show Advanced Options" section, you can map the values returned by the device to the definition contained in the MIB by clicking on Map Values. The poller will then store the Text instead of the raw value. HTH, Yann

Was this documented somewhere and I missed it? This must be in the SQL Server 2005 documentation. I am reading the following book which gives good details about how SQL Server 2005 works: http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0672328240 Database implementation is not covered in our documentation as this is a…

What does "high" mean? Is 400 high? I did not specify any explicit value because a high value on a server can be acceptable on another SQL Server depending of the Disk Array. I am copying below a better explanation about Disks Performance Counters than I could do: It comes from the following website:…

Hi, I am attaching a report I just made. It reports when a Node had a response time greater than 700ms or a packet loss greater than 1%. I do not know how to get the average jitter. It is not polled by default. It shows one row for each minute when the statistics are still in the Details table and have not been sumarrized…

Have you tried the following URL? server:81/.../CustomChart.aspx I used ${NodeID} instead of the static ID 115.

What about Win32_TemperatureProbe ? If that does not return anything either, you might want to ask to microsoft how to populate the temperature in these WMI Class. The manufacturer could be of some help too.

Hi, This KB will give you further information about compatibility requirements between NPM and the modules: http://support.solarwinds.com/kbase/ProblemDetail.cfm?ID=1119

Maybe APM and TL1 scripting is a possibility. That should be possible with the Perl module dedicated to TL1: https://noc.sara.nl/nrg/TL1-Toolkit/ An APM linux script monitor can return a status, a message and a statistic value. Another idea could be to have a script that runs periodically using that Perl Module and forward…

Hi, If a web console is running on an additional server, this means that you can stop the web console or even shutdown IIS on the main Orion server to free up resources for the other services. Thanks, Yann

Hi, Please feel free to post the script in this thread (you can attach files to your post), I will be interested to see how you achieved it. How do you notify Orion when the Port is down? Do you send a Syslog message or a SNMP Trap to Orion? Thanks in advance for the details. Yann

Hi, There is no device default template for Huawei devices in NCM, so I am not sure if NCM will be able to retrieve a configuration from a such device. I did not find anything in the content exchange zone either. Do you have an eval or a full version of NCM installed and a Huawei device available to try to download the…
