‌what about ICMP? can you ping from the poller to the nodes?

off the top of my head ObjectSubType was the field which calls out ICMP, snmpv2 or 3. Use this as your where clause and The remaining snmpv3 fields are clearly identified in the nodes table.

Can you add a custom query resource to a page or go to your /Orion/Admin/Swis.aspx page and type in this query: SELECT NodeID, Status, StatusLED, VolumeID, Icon, Caption, StatusIcon, Responding, FullName, LastSync, VolumeResponding FROM Orion.Volumes WHERE caption = 'New Volume 265698a8' or whatever the name of the volume…

wow old post - but hey just for the next person…. I just had NCM write out config files for me using several of these date/time variables from the manual under traps and syslog variables… page 430 or so... ${MM}-${DD}-${Year}-${Time}

Consider a firewall group with the interfaces you use and rollup of best- then if at least one circuit is up your groups will be. I learned early that nodes stay up even when your circuits are down and that keeps th dependency from working

All physical ports with all except uplinks set to unpluggable. VLan ports because that's where our netflow is reporting from. maybe I should monitor loopback since its the trap source but I did not find it likely that loopback would be explicitly shutdown, node still polling, but not sending traps.

How's this for a start - I would set the operationalstatus field formating as Object Status, hide nodeid and flag, and group by caption (or even add sitecode or location to group by) select n.nodeid,n.caption, p.Name,p.operationalstatus,p.portdescription, v.vlanid, v.vlanname, p.flag FROM dbo.Nodes AS n WITH (NOLOCK) left…

Do any of your servers not responding connect via network fault tolerant nic teams? We find that only one of the links will resolve while the other might only show MAC address at best.

Been experimenting with this for the last 6months and here's my approach: 1. Build discovery profiles just as you have (though I like your report approach) 2. schedule profiles nightly to catch resource changes such as drive swaps and new interfaces 3. Set auto import to true for profile in DB. (This works so much better…

Can you see any data if you browse to your chassis XML service? http://your_chassis_ip/xmldata?item=ALL

Steve- I use File Existence Monitor to check for a file. I even found it helpful as a kind of user experience monitor after we had DNS issues take out a NAS share while all the hardware was still up.

I find it easiest to customize page, select resource, then click the duplicate button and arrange them as I need. But in your case have you considered a tiered map?…

I assume you have hardware health reporting temperature or is it coming from an UnDP?

So we have some cloud linux instances which will not be able to download the agent from our on-prem Orion server. Will you plan to host any agent installers in public-facing repos or is that up to us? Any reason that would not work?

‌your logic requires a child status of both Unkown AND down at the same time which will never happen. delete the first unknown one and re-add it below the down one and Bob's your uncle. Also are you sure you mean child status and not simply status? I kinda like the child status just checking though

Off the top of my head check out UDT endpoints tables.

If I understand your request and *IF* you are already monitoring all the VM hosts using the built in IVIM then frankly I would approach this as an alert on the VirtualMachinesView table for devices which are running yet do not have a corresponding node id. Run this query in your DB Manager or MSMS to confirm you will see…

I would always recommend downloading the Swql studio then looking at what tables are linked off the Orio.Nodes table. Not everything you want is there but anytime you can dot walk then it saves you a join statement.

John, Are you looking to manually add nodes then have their custom properties fields populated by data from your cmdb? If so then I use SQL Server linked servers to pull data by SQL job, trigger, or powershell script. If your cmdb is also SQL server-based and you can get the DBA's to work with you to link this is an easy…

No one likes UDT custom SQL cause it has at least 6 or 7 joins to be useful at all. I would start here but you will need joins to get from the portid to the node id SELECT [FirstSeen] ,[LastSeen] ,[PortID] ,[EndpointID] ,[VlanID] ,[ConnectionType] ,[ID] FROM UDT_PortToEndpointHistory WHERE lastseen < DATEADD(day, -90,…

Although I would also limit through alerts and reporting - if you truly need to limit polling then the Unmanage Utility could be used. Scheduling unmanage task for nodes, interfaces and applications

* More useful * * Better roll up of details but * I think you miss a lot of visual information by taking away the bar indicators and making someone read numbers is against a tooltip basic tenant - just show the status as it's raw number vs color icons if we are painting by numbers -I also don't see that you've made better…

Alex, you're welcome over anytime but since it involves international travel something virtual might be better. Schedule a one-one webex like we do when sharing with Solarwinds. I did that yesterday and received some great feedback and ideas. Alot of user groups I've been a part of over the years have hosted tours of…

Our Cisco 6509's do a great job reporting SFP optical and electrical metrics under the native hardware health - can't really say the same about our 7k's. this is to say that Orion supports as much of it as your device does- as the other poster says- an snmpwalk or conversation with your hardware provider is a great first…

Allen, This post from Leon is along the same track - since you won't be able to pull a windows component it's just the alert portion where the cpumultinode is joined. Also as the post indicates - what value will a single cpu metric provide you? The Ultimate CPU Alert

most tts have at least email parsing modules which would work with Orion email alerts. We set up integration in very little time- you might benefit from having RiverMuse inbetween. Tbough I don't think anyone but WHD is API integrated off the shelf

Go to your alerts web page and select manage alerts You can sort your alerts by object type and should see nodes as an option. Do you see a high CPU alert enabled? Inversely you have or can add a resource to your node details page to show which alerts are enabled and will trigger for that node (not child objects though) So…

We had this issue and failed back to a WMI network discovery profile. That way we avoid the agent re-registering every weekend we push a reboot out as well as subsequent versions registering as nodes.

Bookmarked - While I am not necessarily the biggest fan of tracking hardware status in SAM monitor components - I find more and more reason to use Powershell or CLI in general to extend our support based on SNMP or SMI-S limitations.

Every weekend when the DB craps out and stops writing interface stats. Look at your interface charts to see if you see gaps in the data?
