In addition to the above feature request, there are a few more which have just come to light and have some serious security implications. We are currently undergoing a PCI Compliance review and the following points came up during our reviewer's inspection of Cirrus. His comments were, "For what this application does, the…

That was it! It's not working yet, but at least I can see traffic hitting my LDAP server.

Are you using SSH, telnet, or a mixture of the two? This error is a very generic error and I wish that NCM would have better error notification, but I see this a lot on SSH devices. I've worked extensively with the NCM project manager and it's gotten better for me in v5, but still occurs. I believe that it might also have…

Yes, this is why it is breaking. While "Location" is not a "custom field", per se, it is a column in the same table in the database that holds all your custom fields. Is there a specific reason you cannot use the currently available "Location" field to enter your location data?

As a follow-up to my reply to jonchill on 03/04/2005, I'd like to mention to everyone that Solarwinds technical support has really impressed me in the past couple months with how responsive they are to problems with not only the 7.6 beta, but also my reported issues with the syslog service in v7.7. In addition, the…

quote:Originally posted by jonchill Has anyone installed this yet? I would be interested in anyones first thoughts? Thanks Jon IT Infrastructure Manager Pilgrim Hospital UK We have had the 7.6 beta version running for a month or so and we haven't had any problems. I upgraded to 7.7 yesterday and it seems just fine. In…

Is this the first rule listed in the alert configuration dialog box? Normally, if an alert isn't being triggered, it's because either the match parameters are not being met, or the message is hitting a rule further up in the alerts and getting matched on by that rule instead. Your patterns look good - you can try setting…

I don't believe you can do this, as the SA does not support SSH for configuration management - only HTTPS. The only method I know of to back these up is to configure the SA to archive its configuration on an FTP or SCP server somewhere. I have ours configured to FTP its configs to our NCM server running FTP. It dumps the…

The issue turned out to be in how the config change template was formatted. There is no whitespace deletion that occurs after the "CLI" function is called. As such, because of how my script was formatted to preserve the indentation, every single space was being seen as CLI input. Removing all the indentation after the CLI…

Nothing? Should I just open a ticket?

Sure. As an example, let's say you have the following topology: Orion Server --- Switch A --- Router 1 --- Switch B | | | | | | Server 1 Router 2 Server 2 | | Switch C | | | Servers 3-10 A custom property is defined for Nodes called "DepClass" (Dependency Class). You can use levels of dependencies or name them with…

Nope...this is exactly how we've done it. We have a custom property of "DepLevel" that defines a particular level of dependency and set up rules based upon those dependency levels.

Haley, Thanks for the suggestions. I do wonder why this has just started happening, is that problem (false alarms on old reboots) something that 7.2 has begun to monitor or account for? I have had Orion running for several months now without these errors and it has suddenly just cropped up recently, since the upgrade to…

I am now running 7.2.2 and just received an alert regarding a router that rebooted on December 7, 2003. There doesn't seem to be any correlation between the times when I receive the alerts and anything like high CPU utilization on the Orion server. I'll probably just live with it due to the very frustrating responses I've…

I am experiencing a somewhat similar issue, except the alerts are not due to nodes that Orion thinks are not responding. For some reason, Orion feels compelled to notify me sometimes of nodes that have rebooted, except those nodes rebooted days, weeks, or months ago. Do you think this issue is related to the false…

*big sigh* I firmly believe that we need a 'self answer' forum here. This forum would be for those like me who post questions after searching for an answer for an hour, then find the answer five minutes after posting the question. Answer was to use the "Edit Custom Interface Property" found in the Miscellaneous resources…

*Anything* that supports telnet and SSH can be put into Cirrus. Cirrus does have some pre-configured Device Templates for device manufacturers such as Cisco (IOS and CatOS), HP, Juniper (JUNOS and NetscreenOS), Foundry, and many others. It is not difficult to create a new device template, either, should you have a device…

The only problem with this is that if/when the customer gets a new port, or discontinues service on one of their currently assigned ports, you have to manually update their view. This is fine if you only have a few customers, but it doesn't scale at all if you have hundreds.

What information are you looking to monitor?

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem. I worked with Haley briefly on this issue while troubleshooting another issue, but nothing ever came of it. I also have trouble copying and pasting within the Custom Property Editor in Orion. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you have to right-click and…

Today, the only way to do this is to create a new view and use the Custom HTML resource. You'll have to link each graph on the page manually.

On Monday, the Beta README was packaged with the download and the website updates had not been done yet. They must have updated the download and the website at the same time on Monday night or Tuesday morning. My initial findings of 7.0: - Map Maker is *greatly* enhanced, but finding a problem already; (custom LEDs don't…

If your network happens to be a Juniper network, there are such things as 'policed discards' which show up at layer 2. These discards are typically something like CDP or FDP or some other layer 2 protocol that Juniper doesn't understand. It's not a problem, just more of an informational thing. I would imagine that other…

My reaction to tony.johnson's response: I had no idea you could set thresholds like this. I'd been looking for a way to handle my thresholds better and this is it!

There are tons of reports built-in to Orion, but the Content Exchange here on Thwack also has user-submitted reports: Network Performance Monitor

You wouldn't happen to be using the DL5 version of Cirrus, would you? The 5-node license will not allow you to do scheduled downloads.

What you're looking for is something that you can do in Orion with Custom Properties, but is not available in Cirrus. 

Yes, the fix was, after arguing with Solarwinds support for a week and a half, was to download an icon editor. The issue was that icons they are packaging with Orion (even the new ones) are messed up. By opening up the .ico file within an icon editor, clearing the icon file, then saving it, the problem was resolved. Funny…
