Should this change take effect immediately or does it require a poll or rediscovery of the device? Needless to say my IOS is stll listed as not supporting energy wise.

Out of curiosity, what type of firewall is the agent communication traversing?

I would recommend building your account limitations based on Custom Properties rather than Groups if you encounter performance issues or have performance concerns.

That's a great idea. The problem is when I open the .mht file in Internet Explorer I don't see any information, just the "Loading.... " boxes.

Sorry for the rush job on the posting. It was a very late night and I just wanted to post my findings while it was still fresh in my mind. Here is my system configuration. Orion Server Windows Server 2003 SP2 Orion 8.1 All Hotfixes NTA 2.1 All Hotfixes DB Server Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 64Bit SQL Server 2005 64Bit…

Off hand the only way I can see to achieve this today is with a cross database SQL query. This can be done by specifying multiple instances and database in the FROM clause of your SQL query. E.G. <span class="kwd" style="color:#101094;">select</span><span class="pln" style="color:#303336;"><br /> </span><span class="pun"…

I would also recommend the following the steps below, as well as those outline in this KB article -> http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/5187/ 1) Stop All the Orion Services 2) Delete ASP.NET cached files from c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files and…

Node status in Orion is based on the host's reachability/availability as determined based on ICMP. Only the node child status can be influenced by application status and availability. The node's "child" status indicator is the smaller square located in the bottom right of the node status indicator, as pictured below.

Anyone know how we can schedule an automatic night unload of this process? Couldn't you create a scheduled task that executed an "IISRESET /RESTART" command?

This was already implemented in SAM 5.2 with the inclusion of the ${WindowsEventMessages} macro in the Advanced Alert Manager and the new Event Log Message Details resource.

Have you narrowed the leak down to a specific process? Checkout this post and see if it's related.

I guess I'm confused as to which certificate expired? Was it the SSL certificate you used for HTTPS on your IIS website? Was it the certificate used for WinRM communication for monitoring IIS, or is the certificate used by the Agent for encrypting communication to the Orion server?

Another option is to use SAM's DNS User Experience Monitor.

Is it at all possible that the web server you're using to access the web based report writer, or the machine you're using to access the web interface is in a different timezone than the Orion SQL server?

Failing sum_giais​'s suggestion above of adding an additional server, I would recommend installing the FSDB on the SQL server. You cannot install FSDB on the primary Orion server if it will be protected by HA.

Agreed. We have instances of AIX spanning 5.1 through 7.1 in our lab which we are monitoring without issue. It is always prefered to use NET-SNMP rather than IBM's proprietary SNMP daemon for the reasons sean.martinez‌ referenced above, but that is not a requirement. You simply gain additional information and visibility…

The Configuration Wizard Log is located under 'C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion\ConfigurationWizard.log'

Now that you've resolved the permissions issue, have you tried using the built-in Directory Size monitor instead of the Large Directory Monitor?

Yes, that's an excellent strategy. Note that you will still need to upgrade those Additional Polling Engines once you've upgraded the main Orion server, but at least the OS is taken care of. Note that if you're going to migrate, it's probably better to make the jump to Windows Server 2016 now as the end of mainstream…

mdriskell is correct. The default template has no instance defined so it will monitor the default instance only. You will need to apply the template to the same node multiple times for each instance you wish to monitor defining the instance name in each component monitor within in the template.

To avoid this condition from occurring, you should disable these components within the template prior to them being assigned to the node. I know it's a kludgy workaround. Hopefully it's only temporary. We're tracking this as a bug internally under FB319266 and hope to have this addressed properly in an upcoming release.

Are you using the Universal Device Poller in NPM or the SNMP Monitor in APM? Your thread subject says Universal Device Poller, but you've posted this question in the APM forum. APM does not include the Universal Device Poller.

serena​ can correct me if I'm mistaken, but simply clicking 'Ok, Got it' should make this notification go away forever for your user account.

Nokia IPSO and SecurePlatform both support automated, scheduled and manual backups via TFTP already. If you REALLY wanted to use Cirrus to manage your configuration backups on IPSO or SecurePlatform you could create your own device template that would run the "upgrade_export" command and tftp the tgz file to your Cirrus…

Do we have to reconfigure VMAN integration to use the HA VIP? How does VMAN handle the active/passive server swap? Yes, the VMAN integration should be configured to use the VIP rather than a specific members IP address Does enabling SolarWinds Orion HA impact the existing integration of Orion & VMAN ? Keeping in mind we…

There should be no requirement to uninstall anything. Simply install/apply the hotfix on your APE/AWS/HA backups the same as you did on your primary/main Orion server.

Slow SSH session connections that require alterations to the timeout values on the Orion server are typically the result of reverse lookups occurring when clients connect to the host via SSH. This additional time, waiting for the DNS query to timeout causes unnecessary lag in the session connection and can be rectified by…

How was the agent deployed? Is the server where the Agent was deployed pending a reboot from some recently installed Windows Updates? The Agent requires .NET Framework 4.0 before 'List Resources' will function properly. The .NET Framework 4.0 will not however install if the server has Windows Updates that have been…

How is the node managed in Orion. What you describe sounds suspiciously like an ICMP, SNMP, or WMI managed node that just so happens to have an agent installed. You will need to change the polling method of the node to use the Agent, then things such as the Service Control Manager and such should begin functioning without…

Port 17778 is the Agent port. This port is only required to be open between the Orion server and any machine where the agent is installed. If you have an agent installed on your Additional Poller, then yes you will need to have that port open. If you don't have an Agent installed on the Additional Poller itself, then this…
