Correct (for now). I was just looking how to stage the polling engine to start later than the other services.

Thanks for the advice! I'd done some searching and all I was finding were posts from 2004-2009, which may be out of date.

@"viveashean" I am so glad I'm not going crazy! We had asked our account rep to find someone with a similar environment so we could do some comparisons, but so far nothing has come up. If you don't mind saying, how many disks is your environment?We have found that smaller arrays do complete in reasonable time, but…

In my case, the groups follow the custom properties. We are planning on creating dynamically assigned groups, and then having the conditions be based on the values in the custom properties. That way, whenever a node is given a certain custom property, it's automatically added to the group.

Apologies for bumping an older thread, but what ever came of this? I was just talking to one of my admins about how to discover which linux boxes are running Tomcat (but weren't installed through RHEL Yum), and I noticed we don't have asset inventory as an option.

Thanks! My bosses won't let me play around with the release candidate until we complete our implementation (yes, I know I keep mentioning this in all my posts, it seems to never end... ) I don't have a specific use case for agent vs. polling engine, though it is good to know it lives on the poller even if we install an…

There's a few threads around here that talk about SQL editing, but I think the interface view and grouping is the cleanest way. I can't see if there are templates that know what interfaces you would treat as physically pluggable.

Interesting finding. I applied the failover cluster monitor to the individual nodes, and quite a few went red. Turns out, in an active/passive failover situation, the secondary/failover node doesn't actually report its resources as online. So I've copied the primary failover cluster template and made a new one with that…

I'm glad I'm on the right path! I just need to work with my DBAs to get those service/event monitors built up.

Do these links still work or go somewhere valid? I tried clicking on one, and it took me to a login page that I've never seen before. Doing a search for failover clusters just brings me to…

@"serena" I'm looking through our list of widgets starting with "custom" and not seeing a tile option. I also don't see any options for tiles. We have SAM, NPM, VMAN, WPM, and SRM.

@"aLTeReGo" Forgive me for bumping an older thread. You mentioned earlier how AppInsight for SQL can show you the primary/secondary status of members of a cluster, and provided screenshots of it doing that. However, that doesn't appear to match up to current versions of Orion - which makes sense given that it's 6 years…

Question, do you have your custom properties limited to specific types (like nodes, interfaces, alerts, etc.)? Your list is very similar to what I'm proposing we use, but I'm kind of unsure how far to let duplicate custom properties sprawl, as it were.

I see this on the Edit Application Template view, but what about on the individual application monitor? Here's our use case: I'm setting up the Oracle Database monitor. By default, the "Free Space in Tablespace" and "Used Space in Tablespace" component monitors are pointing at SYSTEM. I want to add more of these component…

Right now, the node is running the Red Hat agent and is successfully polling Status & Response time, most of the volumes (it isn't monitoring the docker volumes), and all the interfaces. Everything's healthy except for loopback, which is unknown. I'm currently listed as having 3 applications running: Linux CPU monitoring…

There are a lot of broken links out there right now, but the articles are there if one pokes around. Here's the one on updating ICMP vendors. Success Center

Interesting! I can agree with that - if the current limitation doesn't properly handle teamed NICs, then it would very much present an issue whereit would use the wrong NIC to check the status of the SSL certificate. This is literally the only environment where we might run into this issue (Orion's physical for us, but the…

Not as of yet. I was looking at the audit logs for Solarwinds itself. In this case, on the Orion Summary Home, "Last 10 Audit Events." The IPs are the internal addresses of our NetScaler VIP, and do not reflect the public IP or even the internal IP of our admins.

I actually really like this idea of having the RO accounts as general and then admin accounts to perform elevated rights. This fits with the security we have in place for the servers. It does mean more administrative overhead on our part, but I think that's an okay tradeoff. thank you all so much for the recommendations!

Thanks! I just noticed, I don't see the polling engine in the Orion Service Manager. Is that just the Solarwinds collector Service? I think I need more caffeine this morning.

Alright, so just throw the entire Orion environment in maintenance mode during the Orion maintenance?

Yay, month and a half later and still no progress, really! We've done the following: * Completely rebuilt our DSM from scratch, including a new database. * Removed all the arrays except our biggest one as a testing bed * Upgraded our test environment to 2020.2 to try and fix some MSMQ issues * did side by side comparisons…

This is great! Although immediately I am panicking, thinking about some of our users creating dashboards that absolutely cripple our database...

I'm still digging into this... The more I dig, the more I wonder if our indexes on the Compellent's database aren't optimized. When trying to browse with the CIM browser, we're seeing anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes to open a resource, depending on what I click. I do have a ticket open with Solarwinds support and…

Forgive my ignorance: Is this a universal device poller configuration? I noticed that our netscalers weren't pulling in hardware health or CPU/RAM information, like I was expecting when we set up the out of the box SNMP monitoring. How would one go about applying this?

And yet again I can't wait till either we get further in the project (our goal is decomissioning our current monitoring solution) or until the general release hits so I can play around with the new stuff. I am so excited.

@"jblankjblank" I think Serena's getting sick of me by this point. Right now, manual mapping is fine for me. One of our biggest challenges is maintaining our Configuration Management Database (CMDB). We have our maps everywhere - Visio Environment Diagrams, our ITSM's built in tool, LanSweeper... The whole point of…

Thank you so much for the replies. I did find the 3 dots for the related/connected entities. Perhaps what I was envisioning was a filter or an option in the dropdown for "Objects on map?" Like when I open the map to edit, I see the entity library, set to "nodes," displays 1,126 objects. So if the filter had "Map object"…

@"jblankjblank" This all looks awesome and I'm chomping at the bit for when my management lets me install the newest RC or wide release. I was doing some playing around today, and I found a couple things that seemed really limiting... and I was wondering, am I just missing something? First, here's the map I threw together…

Likely not. Because I'm new to the community, I assume any ideas I've had have been suggested and vetted by others in some capacity. And because I've never been exposed to individual pieces of Orion, only the overall whole, sometimes I have trouble figuring out which component such things would fit under. Though in this…
