No, not number of used/available IPs. In my environment, I couldn't care less how many addresses are being used on a particular subnet, but rather that the subnet as a whole is "Used" (ie. assigned to a customer so it therefore cannot be assigned elsewhere, thus, used).

Hmmm...I'll attempt to resend my reports. I disabled the sending of the reports and I don't think I've tested it in 8.1. EDIT: Still doesn't seem to work.

You could download the 30 day trials. Agreed. If you use VMWare or other virtulization software, it's easy to create a vanilla Windows server for use as a starting point for an Orion dev box. The database is also simple to replicate by simply backing it up and restoring it onto another DB server. Just keep a copy of your…

Besides your issues specifically with NTA, how well does Netflow work on the ASR920?

It's actually not passing any username/password. My SQL server uses Windows Authentication, so I would expect to be able to use it. I recall attempting to use the SolarWindsNPM account and not having success previously, which is why I use Windows Authentication.

If I was to guess, it was a leftover from an older Orion release.

While this would work, I'm afraid that it's a bad solution. Using Custom HTML is great if you have a device that only has a few interfaces on it. However, if you have a router or switch with 10s or 100s of interfaces on it, creating a Custom HTML page is just way too tedious. Orion would benefit greatly from the ability to…

No, I was able to use the ${Notes} variable without a problem (besides the length of the field). I'm using an interface alert, so maybe that matters.

Why would it be a design feature to not be able to see and manage all my devices from one server console? What if I didn't want NCM available through the web due to security concerns? What if I had 6 additional pollers? The difference between NCM and the other modules and NCM now behaving "consistently" is that there was…

Thanks for that, Nandish. I was about to ask how ConnectNow builds the topology information. Unfortunately, we have a ton of devices that don't support either of these MIBs. It's frustrating, primarily because now I probably have to get another feature request in with the switch vendor.

Hmmm. I already did this and some topology data doesn't seem to be making it through. I'll check some of the tables in the database and see what I've got. Thanks!

I can't speak on whether that exact setting of the bandwidth monitor can be modified via the Mass Edit feature, but in general, yes, these sorts of things can be done using Mass Edit. If you don't see the option, make sure that you're showing the proper "feature set" inside the Mass Edit page. In other words, when the…

Here you go.

Does the node have a lot of interfaces and volumes?

I am not using any filter query. I don't even have that option on these resources. I can only set the name of the resource and the sort order.

ipMonitor has a built-in SOAP API that I believe can be integrated with .NET applications. The only problem is, there is little to no documentation on how to use it. On the ipMonitor support website, there are some sample SOAP scripts and one in particular may work for your application:…

Could be your syslog table. I've had tons of messages that I was not alerting on come in from several devices and completely fill up my DB. 

Thanks! That seems to work. I'm going to try something else with this now and see how it works.

Well I'm kinda new at creating NOC Screen (we just got a 42" display in the Data Center) but I started think about what we needed to see and since we have pretty extensive alerting, I wanted to see the worst of what's going on. Like Down Node/Server/Infrastructure (ATSs,UPSs,KVMs,HVAC Units, etc. and extreame utilizations…

Yes, I have always wanted the ability to disable alerts, but for a different reason. When we do maintenance, we normally disable ipMonitor altogether. Unfortunately, when you start the ipMonitor service, there's no way to tell if anything is going to start paging until all the monitors come out of maintenance mode. This…

I did not change versions when I migrated. It only seems to happen on the same several devices, which is odd. I'll open a ticket.

Hi Chris, I have re-run the integration wizard and yes, both VMAN and VIM were upgraded to version 7.

AFAIK, Orion passthrough does not work with group accounts. Each user needs a specific account.

Would you mind posting your findings and/or SQL update statement? I think this would be pretty handy to have myself.

quote:Originally posted by BryanBecker Anyone else see this issue? BB Absolutely - but only with SSH hosts. They really need to fix the SSH engine or something. It boggles my mind that we paid thousands of dollars for software that isn't nearly as reliable as an application that one can download for free (RANCID). While…

How about the ability to save command script output and perform diffs on them like a config? For instance, prior to some of our network maintenance, there is a list of commands that are run, such as "show ip bgp summary" or "show ip int brief" - if you could save those results and compare them with output that's run after…

You most definitely do not need to have any account logged in to run the scheduled jobs. It sounds like maybe you have a permissions problem on your server or the account you have running Cirrus. Either that, or you have a Cirrus DL5 license, where there are restrictions on running scheduled jobs.

quote:Originally posted by skaczkowski Also, maybe some sort of automatic device import from the Orion DB, I understand that Cirrus and Orion are to be merged at some point, but until then having to worry about putting devices in one DB would be nice. Cirrus already does this. While the databases are different, there is an…

Fix SSH. This alone makes the thousands of dollars we spent on Cirrus completely wasted: www4.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp www4.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp Change the format of the change notification emails: www4.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp Create page which one can list all the configs: www4.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp

I'm not sure I like that second image. I don't see how this is any different or more useful than what Cirrus currently offers. For the width, remember that not everyone is working on a 1920x1200 widescreen display. In addition, showing at least a few lines of config above and below the changes will much better assist when…
