Try using the 'All Nodes - AJAX' resource. At least with this one, you can set three levels of sorting based upon any custom (or non-custom) property you've assigned to the device. It sounds like the resource you're using is an older, legacy resource.

Hmm...if they cannot co-exist, then does IE7 create a specialized uninstall that will reinstall IE6? I ask because the one machine I've used IE7 on, I was able to successfully uninstall it and use IE6 without re-installing IE6. Believe me, I'm not doubting you, I'm just trying to understand.

I've not used IE7 much at all and this may sound like a stupid roundabout way of doing things, but does IE7 have a plug-in similar to the IETab in Firefox? If so, maybe it can be used to call up IE6.

Yes, this is exactly what Network Atlas is used for. I would suggest first setting up some custom properties on your nodes so that you can filter and add them to your maps easily.

Oh, and this:

I've been asking for this, along with other modifications to how the email is displayed, since 3.0. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to change this. Let's hope SW incorporates this into the next 4.x release.

I am getting very inconsistent results using 7.2 and monitoring CPU on both Linux and FreeBSD machines. Some CPU numbers I am getting are over 1700%. I am not so sure how useful the new integration is at this point if the values being reported are obviously incorrect. I have still not received an answer, either on the…

If you want to know the exact OID that a currently configured device is being polled for, you could always install a network analyzer such as Ethereal (www.ethereal.com) and sniff the traffic leaving your server. If installing third-party software is against your company's policies, you could always install the native…

Join the club, chief. Huawei is not the only device out there that Orion doesn't natively "support" for CPU and memory. Juniper routers are not supported 'out of the box', either. Good news, though - you can use the Universal Device Poller (UnDP) to graph the CPU and memory stats, so your claim that Huawei is not supported…

Just to follow-up on this, the issue actually turned out to be pretty stupid. The hosts in question had, at some point, been rebuilt, but SNMP was not installed on them. As such, while they were technically "Up" in Orion, nothing was actually being monitored on them. Once SNMP was installed and configured, the problem…

I've noticed the "empty"/"not empty" problem before. I normally resolve it by putting in a filter of "greater than 1". It's a safe bet that you don't have any MAC addresses on your network that are '000000000000'. :-)

There is nothing built-in to Orion that will allow you to do this, but it would be a nice feature.

Again: net time /SET Set this up as a Scheduled Task in Windows to run every 1024 seconds.

If the server is not a domain controller, just double-click on the clock in your taskbar to open up the Clock control panel. There should be a tab in there for Internet Time. If the above option is not available, just use the command line and set up a .bat file as a Scheduled Task: net time /SET Of course, there needs to…

It would be whatever DNS server is configured for resolution on your NPM server. It's quite possible that it's just an old entry in the database. If that's the case, and it's been a long time since the name of the server has changed and it's still not refreshing, you could go into the DB manager and remove the offending…

Yes, v9 introduced this problem, if I remember correctly. Are you on the latest service pack for 9.0 or 9.1? I believe 9.0 is where this started, but SP1 resolved the issue.

NPM does not do anything with CDP. Unfortunately, you're going to have to add them all manually and track them using a Custom Property. We basically monitor every interface on a router/switch and have a checklist that must be filled out prior to completing an install. The checklist includes ensuring that all the proper…

So I finally opened up a ticket on this. We were able to get the NCM action to run using the Custom Node Table Poller alert by using the "Enter the IP address of the NCM node where the NCM action will execute" option within the NCM action definition. Otherwise, what I am told is happening is that the Node Table Poller will…

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but you can build a report with Report Writer that shows the last 25 events and replace the 'Last 25 Events' resource on the page with the 'Report from Orion Report Writer' and filter out the events you don't want to see (or just include the important events).

...Bump? Is this just not an issue for *anyone*?

Is it at all possible that you have an underlying network issue occurring? I've seen really bizarre things happen when spanning tree is not configured properly in a network that needs it. Unplugging a server on one switch would cause a completely different switch or node to "go down".

Performance enhancements, indeed! The "Network Trends" web page would *never* come up previously because of the amount of nodes in our database. Now it takes about 20 seconds. So far, I'm liking it...except for the exclusion of a pretty serious Syslog Server bug fix. :-( 

I believe to get this to work, you need to add two things. First, in the first SELECT statement: SELECT Interfaces.InterfaceId, Nodes.DisplayGrouping AS DisplayGrouping, <======== Nodes.Caption AS NodeName, Nodes.VendorIcon AS Vendor_Icon, Interfaces.Caption AS Interface_Caption, Interfaces.InterfaceIcon AS Interface_Icon,…

Do you have any special characters in your banner or prompt, such as a #, >, or $? I've experienced this weirdness when my prompt ended in a $. 

 If both of those switches support either SSH, Telnet, or TFTP Download, then they are supported. Cirrus can work with any device that has a CLI in which you can show the configuration. It can even gain access to SSH or Telnet servers to store copies of text files or any configuration file you want to monitor.

By default, Orion configures itself on a specific port, I believe 8787. During the website configuration dialog in the Config Wizard, did you change it to port 80?

Cirrus does not really have much in the way of "polling", besides basic device inventories. If you can get your license count from a CLI command, you could set up a job to occur on a scheduled interval and email the results of the command output to you.

You are correct in that Custom HTML or Text is not node-specific. This goes for practically any resource, at least view-wise. If you edit the parameters of a graph, for instance, it will change that graph on every page of every node that uses that view. Unfortunately, it does not appear as though you can insert variables…

If what you are looking for is to add it directly to the Nodes Details resource, you can easily edit the 01-NodeDetails.Resource in the Inetpub/Solarwinds/Netperfmon/Resources directory. Just add a table row with the appropriate property like so: <tr> <td class="Property" width="10"> </td> <td class="PropertyHeader">Serial…

You'll need ipMonitor or Orion APM to test for port availability. There might be a way you can use the Universal Device Poller to check the tcpListenerTable on the server to see if the row for '3389' is in 'listening' state, but I haven't tested it out to see if that actually works.
