I found the settings in the new NPM-Netperfmon.Charts file. Guess I'll have to keep updating this with every upgrade.

I can save to any directory I want this is correct, in fact you can achieve this by changing the directory path in the config archive. However, you can not schedule a job, and change the directory location for that jobs configs. As I said before unless im missing something here, and no one has pointed it out, so I must be…

I am pretty sure that your pinky toe will be safe to use as a bargaining tool for something else. The System Manager, to the best of my knowledge, will see little to no improvement. It's my understanding that the System Manager console is programmed in some old language and SW is really focusing on transitioning all that…

 I would highly suggest that if the 24E MIBs are not in the latest MIBS.cfg (downloadable from the Customer section of solarwinds.com), you get the MIBs from AVTECH, open a ticket with Solarwinds, and include the MIBs, asking for them to be added to the database. It's my understanding that the MIBs.cfg gets updated once a…

Paul, Is there a firewall in front of the Orion server? 3.5 hours seems like a timeout of some sort, like session, NAT tables, or ARP cache. Also, if the IP is pingable from the server itself during this time, I'd say the issue is definitely related to Solarwinds. Can you do a port mirror on the switchport that connects to…

Then yes, something like Smart Groups for IPAM would be absolutely perfect for the both of us. Hopefully, SW saw this coming a mile away and has already started looking into providing this functionality.

Nothing in the event logs of the server at all? I've personally never had to re-install SNMP on a Windows box, but I have had to restart it. Can you try just restarting the SNMP service on the server and seeing if that fixes it?

My feeling is most of the people that are having a hard time with system manager going away have been running Orion for a lot longer than we have. I think you're probably right about that. We used to use the SM even long after the web interface was released. Web was slow and clunky. With the release of 9.5, we use the web…

Perhaps not the best place to ask, but I'm not sure where else to go, but is there something out there like an API "proxy" that could take an HTTP POST and "translate" the data? For instance, if my app is sending: field1:data field2:data field3:data field4:data Could the proxy script look at that data and only grab two of…

We had already been waiting for a new release for a year + so why rush to release a product and then have major releases within 2 months. I don't understand. Was anyone here forced to upgrade? If you upgraded thinking that the product was rushed, then why did you upgrade? The bottom line is, if you can't afford to have…

A FQDN in the variable would be nice. Our internal office domain name is different than the FQDN of the Orion server, so the variable just doesn't work for us.

Hmmmm, nice idea. Have you tried this and actually given your clients access to the secondary site? If yes then any security concerns whatsoever? I wish I could say I've tried this in practice, but I haven't. I *did* test it out briefly before suggesting it and I was able to gain access to both sites without a problem. The…

Brandon If you are familiar with RRD functionality, that would be awesome. I think it would be nice to allow it to auto-scale by default but have the option to override that with a Min & Max. This is all just thinking out loud and off the cuff. Second this.

Well, we were trying to be more elegant than that, but since that hasn't worked out as well as we had hoped, we're probably going to move to just kill it. But wouldn't you run into the problem of the Services MMC config restarting the service if you just kill it? Or is there a way around this by scripting?

I had noticed that it was fixed in 9.5, but after the installation of SP2, it once again began to take forever to shutdown.

In that case, if you can pull up the Interfaces table with the SNMP MIB Viewer tool while the problem is happening, but you cannot poll or list resources with Orion, then I'd say it's an Orion issue and you'll probably want to open a ticket. Otherwise, I'd say that it's an issue with the servers. Good luck and please post…

Sorry to resurrect this old thread. I upgraded to 10 today and now my charts are backwards again. I still contend that SW has the colors wrong, considering every other monitoring program out there uses green for inbound traffic and blue for outbound traffic. Even the old SW toolset had green for inbound and blue for…

I had this same issue and had to change my concurrent downloaded configs from 20 to 10 and the problem went away. HTH I wish it were this easy with some of us. I have mine throttled down to 3 simultaneous downloads, but I still experience this problem. 

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, but you can do this with Cirrus already. Rather than email the results of the job, you can save it as a file in any directory you want. Does this meet your need?

In addition to the doc question, I'm also somewhat fuzzy on what the data is showing me in the 'CURRENT STATUS' now. For instance, I have for one server, 209.857 Kqpm. To me, this means 209,857 queries per minute, which definitely doesn't make sense to me. If I click on the number, I get a graph that makes a bit more…

You were correct, sir. SQL 2016 was installed. I have no clue why 2017's Management Studio was installed on this server. Sys admins, amirite?

Wow, old post! While working with support last year, we found the problem to be the the Adtran itself. The 600s annoying send ">" on every line of the configuration when downloading it. 

We currently offer the ability to override the enable prompt identifier with something else, but not the login prompt identifier so we can't provide a complete product-based workaround right now. The ability to specify a login prompt identifier is something we're evaluating for the next release. Can you point me to…

I've never really had a problem with 4, but I suppose if it's "easy", I'm sure someone will end up wanting to expand that. I believe this will have the added bonus of making the text-only config diff emails SOOOO much easier to read, as I've mentioned before. Side-by-side comparisons are just too difficult to understand,…

As I said earlier, you could use the Universal Device Poller Summary Status resource, but it's currently not working properly. I hope they'll have this fixed in the next SP. You can find this chart under "Summary Reports" in both Node and Summary views.

After having used this now for a few days, I have to say that this new process is so incredibly inefficient, I cannot imagine anyone in development thinking that this works better than the Win32 application. Here I sit 45 seconds after hitting 'Export' and I'm still waiting for the file to show up. Previously, I would have…

 Thanks, Mark. I'm sure you guys will fix it - it was just somewhat off-putting to get a response from support stating that "this is normal behavior".

I should follow-up by saying, in my defense, every other bandwidth monitoring application I've used that utilizes green/blue does it with green as rx and blue as tx. MRTG, rrdtool, etc. all use them the opposite way of Orion.

Does that make some sort of sense or am I complicating things? Yes, it makes perfect sense. If I could have it my way, I would like to be able to Schedule a Job that downloads the config files to a differnt directory, then I would use a script to zip the files up and ftp them to our DR site for future use. Hopefully,…

Yes. I think the ticket system is sending a bunch of extraneous data with the POST. I changed my POST URL to RequestBin and it's not sending only the few custom properties I am expecting. I have a ticket open with them to try and figure it out. At this point, I don't think it's an Orion issue. I was hoping it might be…
