cbunge​, out of curiosity how are you able to achieve zero downtime upgrades using FoE?

The High Availability Beta 1 cannot be used with the NPM beta or any other Orion products. It has not yet been determined if the next HA beta will be compatible with the NPM available at that time. The download link will be emailed to you shortly if it hasn't already. We are slow rolling the beta through the course of this…

Just to confirm - this is not the failover engine we know? No, this is a completely new High Availability solution built entirely from the ground up on the Orion Platform. Also can we use this for additional poller cluster pools in the beta? Not in HA Beta 1, but this may be available in HA beta 2. We've limited the beta…

I may have found the problem. The Wireless in Orion NPM 9.5 is showing many of my lightweight APs as down on my Cisco Wireless LAN controllers that are in actuality UP on other controllers that are also monitored by Orion. For example, I have one AP that shows it's status as DOWN on three of the four Cisco Wireless LAN…

, I looked through the notes on your case with support and asked that your case be escalated. If necessary, the escalation engineer can engage with development to determine the cause of the issue.

The Custom Table and Custom Chart resources function the same in dashboards as they do in reports. Note that reports themselves are essentially views which can contain any variety of different resources from dashboards, so it wouldn't make much sense to embed a view within another view.

John, The problem I'm having is also with APC equipment. It doesn't seem to be any specific type of APC device but all of them to some degree or another. I have UPSs with AP9619 and AP9617 smart slot management cards. I also have managed PDUs and a few MasterSwitches. None of my other equipment appears to be effected, just…

The warning and critical threshold values for this component monitor may need to be adjusted in the template to best suite your environment. The default warning threshold for this component monitor is 4 Megabytes Per/Second, while the critical threshold level is 5. This seems a little low to me for a decent size Exchange…

WMI is simply an API. One which can be remoted as most APIs can. The Agent does make use of WMI, as well as other Windows based APIs.

For WMI nodes "Location" is populated by the Active Directory site name. There is unfortunately no equivalent to the SNMP "contact" field in WMI. I recommend instead using custom properties if you need to track this information as it works across all node types in Orion. SNMP, WMI, and ICMP nodes.

Has anyone deployed the CISCO ACE20-MOD-K9 in NPM I am unable to get any polling information in NPM for this Loadbalancer module in NPM. Did you ever have any luck with this device? We just deployed our first ACE devices recently and it's time to get them monitored by Orion. I'm curious what issues you ran into, and what…

I have the template working in my lab, but obviously it's not working in all environments. I would probably recommend opening a case with support so we can troubleshoot the issue further.

Then I would recommend adding another IP address to that node and polling Hardware Health via SNMP (assuming the server is a Dell) and any other UnDP's you might have. On the other IP you monitor the node for volumes etc, and AppInsight for Exchange using WMI.

Are your mailbox databases on the same volume?

Yes, you will need to download and install the IBM Director Agent on those systems to expose hardware health information to Orion.

The following templates are available in the Content Exchange. Remote Desktop Services Licensing Terminal Services Licensing

Are you monitoring the IIS server with AppInsight for IIS?

wluther​ is correct. This is a known bug in PerfStack 1.0 that will be addressed in the next release. If you're interested, we have a lot of amazing new things in store for PerfStack which you can see and play with yourself by joining the NPM beta.

The first thing to monitor regardless of the platform would be the UDP ports 67,68 Um, how does one monitor UDP ports? The best I can guess is to create a windows script monitor that does a netstat looking for those ports. Any other suggestions?

Bain is correct. There is no hard limit on the number of conditions you define. Each new constraint adds complexity to the SQL query that's executed every minute (by default) to return the status of those nodes/applications/interfaces/etc. So depending on the speed and performance of your SQL server the more complex a…

Can you try and restart the Orion services and see if that resolves the problem? Sustained status conditions ("X consecutive polls" and "X out of Y Polls") occur in memory and there could be something that is preventing these thresholds from not updating appropriately. Please let me know if that resolves the issue. It it…

Yes, the RADIUS component monitor does indeed work in APM however it only supports PAP, not CHAP, or MSCHAPv2 which are more common authentication protocols. You may need to configure your RADIUS server to accept PAP requests from your APM server for the component monitor to function correctly.

SAM's HTTPS Monitor is very accurate. Commonly when we see issues similar to the one you describe above the issue is related to CRL (Certificate Revocation List) retrieval. This can be caused by the Orion server not being allowed access to the internet, high latency to the CRL server, or sometimes by self-signed…

It would appear that SAM 5.2 introduced a file path limitation for the File Size Monitor of up to 63 characters. Any monitors exceeding the 63 character limit will inaccurately report a status of down. If you're experiencing this issue with SAM 5.2 please contact support.

What does the resulting output look like from that script?

Within the Script Arguments section of the script monitor as shown below.

If this resource is going to be placed on the Component Details view than the ${ComponentID} macro should work. Your ${ApplicationName} macro will likely not though. It should work on the Application Details view, but probably not the Component Details view. I contend that Alex Slv's did exactly as I originally suggested.…

So this is an agent managed node in Orion?

If the volumes are not appearing then they may be directories or symbolic links off the root. If they appear when running "df" from the command line but not via SNMP then I would recommend upgrading the version NET-SNMP running on that server.

Yes, I'll take care of that. Note, we are tracking this issue internally under case CORE-1096.
