Ticket #295166 - just opened.

I cannot say with any certainty that either of these two latest reported issues are the same as mine. In my case, the response time is in the tens or hundreds of milliseconds. In addition, it has been happening for years, and wasn't something that just occurred after an upgrade to 9.5. In addition, my high response times…

SP2 is the latest Orion Service Pack. There is one hotfix that I know of for SP2, which fixes the graph issue.

NM...didn't realize that I was on 9.0SP2 and not 9.1 SP2. durrr...

Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. Looking at "Last Month" timeframe is borking the server. Had to look at the calendar, because I didn't think that it was 2038 just yet.

This really sounds like a job for Orion NCM, not Orion NPM. You can get the status of currently open TCP connections from Cisco devices, but I've not found a way to get a list of the TCP ports on which the device is listening. You can get the list of UDP ports, but not TCP. Not sure if this really helps, but figured I'd…

Okay, so now that I have the individual Node interfaces figured out, I'm trying to understand how the 95th percentile is created. I don't see any calculations happening in this SQL statement. In the beta version the 95th percentile had what looks like a calculation statement: SELECT TOP 5 PERCENT AVG(Out_Maxbps) AS…

I have requested this feature in the past, so I would definitely see value to this. You absolutely cannot change the System OID for appliances, so the method suggested by Yann will not work. That said, it's a good suggestion for servers that you can do this with.

I would almost give my left eye to have Solarwinds create their own scheduling mechanism than rely on Windows Scheduled Tasks. Windows Scheduled Tasks is one of the most convoluted, complicated, worthless pieces of garbage on the Windows operating system. In fact, I would much rather have that stupid paper clip pop up…

Was the switch just recently added to Orion or was it already there and this behavior just began happening one day? What model switch is it and where is it in relation to the Orion server?

I'm not sure how you would be able to do this without a firewall or router performing NAT and using separate instances of Orion. This is not a failure of Orion's, but a limitation of IP. Neither Orion or the upstream router(s) would have a way to differentiate between whether 192.168.25.0/24 is for Customer A or Customer…

The user password or the privacy password? My privacy password is 20 characters long and includes symbols.

Thanks, mattjenkins - that helped. Hopefully changing it doesn't mess anything up.

No, it does not. I'm more concerned about how to get my syslog rules from the old syslog viewer. I don't understand why a feature like this would be implemented with no way to migrate rules or even a warning indicating syslog rules are no longer going to work unless you set them up.

Seconded. The wording on the help pages is misleading, as it implies you can import subnets, but you cannot.

I resolved this issue by changing my "Check this alert every" setting to 5 minutes instead of 1. I guess it was just checking too frequently. Oops!

It only seems to do it from the Node properties page or the Interface properties page. I have not noticed it anywhere else, but that's not to say that it doesn't happen. It's just 1000 times more noticeable and frustrating on those two pages. I will be more vigilant about it now.

Argh. True to fashion, three hours after searching and only two minutes after posting, I figure out the problem. The template uses SQL authentication, but I am using Windows authentication. I just made a copy of the default SQL template and changed its properties to use Windows authentication and now it appears to work.

I'm not using any SQL query. I'm using the resource that comes with Orion.

#3 - I will ping you offline on this, but you can define a custom field on the subnet/supernet level and set status there as text I'm aware that we can set custom properties, but not only is this cumbersome and another thing to have to manually type in when adding a subnet, but also there's no good reporting function for…

#2 - How are you adding the subnet? Via the Add Subnet or Subnet Allocation Wizard? If you add via Add Subnet, there is a checkbox to not add IP Addresses on Add Subnet I'm using the Subnet Allocation Wizard. Earlier this evening, I did find this functionality in the Add Subnet Wizard, so this is handy. I'd say, however,…

Couple more: * When creating custom properties, we are not able to create different datatypes. It would be nice to be able to choose a date/time or numerical value. * When using the Subnet Allocation Wizard, it appears to mark the 'subnet zero' (first possible subnet) as allocated. What's the reason for this?

Thanks. I had always been led to believe that making changes to the DB without making them through Orion or its sub-applications will be overwritten either when Orion restarts or the database restarts.

FYI, I believe the problem here is that the column in the database is 'nvarchar' data type, so the negative number is not really seen as an integer. I think my solution is going to be to have to use a custom SQL alert and use a CAST function to convert the 'nvarchar' to an 'int'. My initial testing seems to indicate this…

Thanks, I was able to speak with someone today regarding the ticket and I am all set, as far as getting eyes on it. I am not in favor of opening up every ticket as high priority/urgent, as I run a support department and that would get annoying real fast. However, from a customer standpoint, if that's the only way to get…

This is completely indecipherable.

I did post on Thwack, but it didn't get a response, so rather than keep bumping the post, I opened a ticket. I guess I'll just open every ticket as a System Down from now on. Kind of defeats the purpose of having priorities when the only way to get a response is by using the absolute highest priority for everything. I'd…

I ended up just closing the ticket and opening up a "System Down" ticket. Got a response in an hour. As someone who runs a support department, I'd fire the manager who let a ticket sit for 48 hours with no initial response. The problem with contacting my Account Manager is that each communication line I open with them,…

You might want to check out the DS1-MIB:ds1 MIB (1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18). There are several tables in this MIB that deal with DS1 transmission errors. That said, I'm not sure if Cisco has created their own enterprise MIB to deal with these sorts of errors. A good place to try and search is mibdepot.com if you can't find what…

quote:Originally posted by quinne The net-snmp version is the same, 5.1.2-11. I've found the one difference on the two boxes, one has kernel 2.6.9-42.0.0.1.ELsmp (working), the other is 2.6.9-5.ELsmp (not working). When you say "agent", is there a SolarWinds agent I should install? If you are using RHEL4, there are certain…
