  • Whilst working through another ticket on Maps - (many Thanks Bryan), it seems that for events to be recorded on the timeline you must have *Node Child Status Participation* configured - an event is recorded only when a Node status changes and if you dont have NCSP configured any interface up/down (or memory/cpu etc) events…
    in Orion Maps - Historical Events - 24/48 Hour Detailed view. Comment by alexfoster July 2020
  • Yeh I requested this through the Orion Maps as a feature - but in reality it is more of an NPM feature ie: node status/syslog/event correlation. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Feature-Requests/Orion-Maps-ICON-Status/idi-p/598804 This would be invaluable to us as a way for the NOC to determine true node status..
    in Feature Request Action Change Node Status by incoming Syslog/traps Comment by alexfoster September 2020
  • Yeh, i see your point. So the SYSLOG to Node Status correlation would need to be in place before the MAP ICON could reflect that state. My understanding is that events cannot be created from a SYSLOG - events are the result of polling (change of state) whereas the SYSLOG table is based on realtime updates. Ignoring events…
    in Orion Maps - ICON Status Comment by alexfoster July 2020
  • I got told by Solarwinds Engineers on a recent road trip/tour that Atlas does not get any development time and any feature requests are generally ignored. It is a poor management/mapping tool - we also use WeatherMap because it gives you want to see. Solarwinds really need to up the anti and produce something that is…
    in network atlas , link color, description reflecting events,alarms, utilisation Comment by alexfoster November 2013
  • Hi, It is for topology connections and when in view mode. If there are multiple network connections between entities (assumes switches or routers) and these are part of a LAG/LACP bundle then the data for the LAG/LACP interface (single chart) would be displayed (you can add both Physical and/or LAG interfaces to build the…
    in Orion Maps - 12 hour bps Graph pop out when hovering over a line. Comment by alexfoster June 2020
  • The colours changing based on thresholds is fine - but it is more the colour itself ie: current map lines (normal threshold) are pastel/pale green, our preference would be a brighter green. Link down is kinda Purple/Maroon (nearly red) - but our preference would be Black so that it stands out from critical threshold Red.…
    in Orion Maps - Modify Link Colours and Shape Comment by alexfoster June 2020
  • ...and you will no doubt point to the *whatever we say cannot be used against us* type statement - but the PMM has just informed me that the next feature release of NPM will *not* include any Orion Maps improvements/features. This is seriously disappointing - there have been no new features or improvements to Orion Maps…
    in What We're Working on for NPM Comment by alexfoster April 2022
  • Yeh, so we like to see the bandwidth over the aggreation link (LAG or LACP). By only adding the consituent (physical) links, yes the line on the MAP would show red if one link goes down - however if we add the consituent links and the LAG interface - state isnt propagated to the MAP if one of the constituent links go down…
    in Orion Maps - Physical to Logical Layer status roll-up Comment by alexfoster June 2020
  • I have just gone through the pain of this issue (4 days of diagnostics with support). Our installation is only polling 3000 elements so 6% of your load - this has nothing to do with the number of resources being polled - this is a bug with the topology-poller, pure and simple. Shortly after upgrading to 10.7 - we starting…
    in NPM toplogy calculation problems Comment by alexfoster August 2014
  • Please can you include the attached enterprise MIB into Orion – this is an updated version to the one already included with Orion and was updated this year. The enterprise OID is 15397 (Packetlogic/Netintact). Regards, Alex Foster
