Also make sure you are polling the inside interface. I don't believe you can poll the outside interface through SNMP, as I ran into this issue when first adding our SA to Orion.

I've found the following needs to be done, possibly in addition to Haley's instructions above, in order to get scheduled jobs to work in Windows 2003 with a non-administrator account: 1. Create account. 2. Add 'Log on as a service' and 'Log on as a batch job' permissions in the Local Security Policy. 3. Add the account to…

A really technical way to do this is to use the XML export/import mechanism and to set the "parentid" to "0" of the Monitor. See this post for details (before reading further): I'd leverage ipMonitor's underpinnings with Regex because I'm quite comfortable with it. This is how I would do this (I don't expect anyone outside…

I actually already saw that post, so I added the Behavior Modifier to the list earlier today. I still don't see where the button is, though. If I drill down into the monitor settings, I don't see any additional buttons. I'm assuming I would see it in the view where all the timing settings and what-not are configured,…

Agreed. We will not be renewing our Solarwinds maintenance this year. An average of >1wk to respond to a ticket has been occurring for at least a year, which is the last time I brought this up. The funny thing is that the initial autoresponse from support indicates that they are "experiencing an unusually high amount of…

I have had a ticket open with SW for 4 months on a similar issue.

I honestly don't think that honoring basic information security principles should be a Feature Request. This is a bug and needs to be fixed. I have not opened a ticket on it because frankly, the SW support is still, after several years, incredibly frustrating to deal with, assuming you can get an initial response from them…

I'm sorry to say that this not at all true, at least not with my installation of 12.3. I have an account limitation that is set up to only be able to see a single interface. They have no access to any other views or any devices. If I use the search function to search for anything, let's say something vague like "Juniper"…

Nope, sorry.

I forgot to mention that if you want to fix it, change the /Orion/NetperfMon/Resources/InterfaceTraffic.acsx file. Just do a search for "RECIVE" and change it.

Let me put it another way. I am trying to use SAM to poll traffic statistics (bytes/sec) for an application. In its default 'GET' operation, SAM will interpret the data received as a plain number, which is not how the data from a Counter in SNMP works. The graph, instead of showing me the actual bytes/sec, will show me the…

Nice tool! I'm doing that now. I did just notice the following in my System Event Log: The SolarWinds Alerting Engine service depends on the following nonexistent service: MSSQL$MONITOR Looks like someone is on the case already, so I'll go ahead and just update the case instead of this post. When we reach a resolution,…

Looks like a bug, but it's not new to 9.0. This has been broken since at least 8.1. Did it ever work? Not sure, as I haven't used it before. I'm trying to set up a summary page that shows only a few nodes' worth of information.

 Yes- With a caveat - Firefox will not install ActiveX components, so if you wish to use the Solarwinds Tools through the Orion website (for which you need the Toolset installed locally on your computer), you will be unable to. A way around this is to use the IETab plugin for Firefox which will run Internet Explorer from…

Thanks. I think I'm going to replace my custom resource with a Custom Table resource, which is something previously unavailable. Neat! I have also made some modifications to an Interface Details page (/Orion/Interfaces/InterfaceDetails.aspx), but the changes do not show up on my Additional Web Server. It used to be I had…

Yes, it was perfect in 8.x, but it changed so now all my users need write access to all monitors. This, unfortunately, also gives them the ability to disable, enable, and change monitor data, which is not a permission that front-line tech support should have.

We run IPv6 dual-stack in our network and need IPv6 capability in Orion. We are not a government customer, but we do provide IPv6 services to government agencies. June 2008 is the deadline for US government agencies to have their backbones IPv6-capable. Don't forget about all the non-US network providers who are already…

Care to share what you used to set up the front end GUI? I'm just setting up RANCID now and would love the features you mentioned. I used 'cvsweb' to set this up. While some of the shortcomings I mentioned above are resolved in NCM, I still use RANCID because, well, it's stable. Never once has RANCID not been able to SSH…

Understood, but why not use the IP address as the unique identifier? I'll try your suggestion, it looks like it will work fine. Thanks!

One slightly annoying thing is that when editing monitors and hitting 'OK' or 'Cancel', you are taken back out to the main Devices view. ipMonitor doesn't save the current view, so you have to click 'Last Results'. I think someone else brought this up, but it was contained within a classic "I upgraded and now everything is…

Since I have no idea what I am doing, this is what I came up with: SELECT cast(cast([N.NodeID]as varchar(max)) + '' + '--' as XML), cast(cast([I.NodeID]as varchar(max)) + '' + '--' as XML), cast(cast([I.InterfaceName]as varchar(max)) + '' + '--' as XML), cast(cast([I.ifCustID]as varchar(max)) + '' + CHAR(10) + CHAR(13) as…

Thanks. I saw that posting, but my eyes started to glaze over because none of that SQL code is explained. I literally just learned how to do an inner join last week.

I've been suggesting this for years: 1. Do away with the side-by-side comparisons in the emails. They are unintelligible unless your screen is a 2048x1280 resolution, which mine is not. It would be much better, in my opinion, to do a unix diff-style comparison like this: @@ -589,28 +589,32 @@ duplex full speed 100…

 Are you using Customer Properties? I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who does this. :-) As for the problem, it looks like maybe your poller isn't assigned to your nodes. Did you at one time or do you now have more than one poller machine? You can look in the Database Manager to query the Engines table, check the…

NPM 12.1 and VIM 7.1.0.

I have not. I wanted to see if there was a quick fix prior to doing so, because my last VMAN/VIM ticket was opened in February and is still open with no end in sight.

Thanks. Glad to see I'm not the only one. We are investigating whether or not we can strip the extra headers out with our Ironport mail gateways or the mail server itself. I'll let you know what we find. In the long run, though, I think that SW needs to revert to the previous configuration - I can't imagine why it was…

This happens to me in the Trap Viewer, too. SW applications seem to have some troubles interacting with the clipboard. Cirrus and the Orion Custom Property Editor both have major non-crashing issues with copy & paste.
