NPM licenses are based on the largest number of "an element" on a box. An element is an IP address, Interface (NIC) or disk. * If you monitor one IP address on a server, plus one interface, plus one disk (on the same box) you've used ONE license. * If you monitor one IP address on a server, plus 2 interfaces, plus one disk…

Answers: If I continue this recovery, will there be any impact on the production Orion host and database? IMHO, No. Will the eval copy of Orion begin polling the network? Kinda. Since the database "tags" each node with the name of the polling engine responsibile, the DR copy won't do much of anything since that polling…

My gut reaction is "no" - wrong tool for the job. But tell me (us) more about what you are trying to accomplish and maybe there's a happy middle ground.

Can you explain more about what you mean - "that have sql"?

Sounds like the perfect job for a relatively simple Orion SDK script. You can get started in the forum here: Orion SDK

Since the file exists on all the pollers, I simply presumed that it needed to be installed. I have a handy-dandy DOS batch file that renames the old copy, pushes the new file from the primary to all my other pollers, and calls it a day. I do NOT programmatically stop and testart Solarwinds services. I'm reckless, but not…

On your wireless controllers, List Resources, and un-check the "wireless controller" resource (usually listed after all the interfaces). that should remove all the wireless info for you.

Is this the same as this one: Or are you looking for more general information?

One of the "big three" questions my team gets is: Which alerts is my device configured to generate. Thank about that question... From the owner's perspective, it's not an unreasonable one. For what will I be woken up at 2am? I want a list of each element, and the threshold for that element that will generate a ticket. In…

I've seen this in the past. While I don't know definitively what the cause is, my suspicion is that it is either related to caching (either on the web server or my browser) or database maintenance. To "fix" it I've done the somewhat nuclear option of: 1) running db maint manually 2) restarting SW services on the poller 3)…

There's a bunch of resources to help you on your way! This free ebook gives you background to the monitoring and alerting philosophy, as well as specific ideas for building meaningful database alerts: eBook Resources – SolarWinds "Monitoring 201" These SolarWinds Lab sessions can also help * Orion Database Maintenance *…

There are two answers I can think of off the top of my head: * you need to change the kind of alert to "Group" instead of "node". That's the dropdown at the top of the alert trigger tag (in the Win32 utility) or the top of the triggers page in the web-based alerting. * don't use groups. Use a custom property which is…

To my knowledge, the device stats (CPU, RAM, etc) are purged the night after the delete. Meaning: When you delete the node, the records from the nodes table (and possibly the "holy trinity" tables - nodes, volumes, interfaces - are moved to a temporary "deleted" table (relatively easy to find if you dig using SQL…

I'm not familiar with the tables involved, but I think what you want is: SELECT [DateTime] ,COUNT([IPAddress]) FROM [Traps] where [TrapType] like '%NSG9000%'; GROUP BY [DateTime] ORDER BY [DateTime] ASCENDING

If you have SAM, that comes as a built-in alert. The way it works is using a stand-alone utility that queries the top-10 processes at the time of the alert and stuffs it into the ${notes} variable for the alert, which you can then add to the email. But without that utility (and the WMI account subsystem that it relies on)…

Obviously this is not the normal behavior. I can promise you network atlas is alive and well in 11.5. Your best bet is to open a ticket with support and let them help you though it.

tagging aLTeReGo​ since I believe he's the author of the original template.

In the interest of leveraging new NPM features, I've created a poller (not UnDP, but actual replacement poller) that you can use INSTEAD OF the built-in SolarWinds RAM poller that uses the "simpler" calculation. You can download it here: linuxatemyram Enjoy!

This isn't completely an answer, but it points to your answer: Fixing the dreaded "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 System CLR Types" error Unpack the installer, then manually run each install item and do the "remove" for each one individually.

Well, that guide has changed just a bit in the 2 years since the answer was originally posted. For you (and in the name of posterity) what you should do is: * Go to the Library and Support area: * Click on the subject area appropriate to your issue (in this case: ) * There are MANY guides and sub-guides now for what you…

Go to Message Center using an account that has full administrator permission. One of the check boxes will be "Audit" events. Check that (and un-check everything else) AND make sure you have your time range set the way you want. Then hit refresh.

Short answer: Yes. It's not exactly night-and-day difference, more like the first bright rays of morning sunshine (SAM) compared to the full-on warmth and glory of the sun mid-day (DPA). SAM will give you a lot of insight on the server, hardware, network, etc and also some info on how the DB is running via an ODBC-based…

You upgraded to SAM 6.2, right? If so, open a case with support. There's a hotfix in the works that solves this.

Asset inventory relies on the vendor agent (Dell OpenManage, HP Insight Manager, IBM whatever they call it today, etc) for it's information. If you don't have that enabled/running on the box, you won't get the asset info.

Assuming you have one poller, just run the NPM 10.6 upgrade, give the server 15 min to settle down, then run the NTA upgrade. It's really "click Next" simple.

I think you are going to be (pleasantly) surprised at how easy it is to quickly get monitoring up and running. The installer is stupid-simple, adding devices is pretty straightforward (although having your environment ready for adding devices - like having SNMP turned on, the VMWare credentials, and an AD account which has…

Complete shot in the dark but there's no semicolon after your last "exit 0" line.

First, full marks for your use of hyperbole and vitriol. It's nice to know other folks here appreciate the fine scent of sacrificed goat as much as I do. Second, I agree - the web custom property editor, while certainly "better" than it was on the eve of its release - is still not anywhere near as usable as it's Win32…

agreed with cobrien - when you change the boxes you may see IMMEDIATE issues, but nothing long term. If you have multiple pollers, make sure they ALL are set to the same time zone (otherwise you will have data that doesn't match up. Also make sure your database server is set to the same time zone as the primary poller.…

Nope, this is for the new(ish) "Manage Pollers" option you find under "Settings". I think that feature hit in 10.7, but it could have been 11. I'm losing track.
