NTA is not a standalone application. It still requires NPM to be there.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by architecture, but from a structural standpoint, Orion has three functional components. The application itself polls (using ICMP) and collects statistics (using SNMP) from monitored nodes, interfaces and volumes on a network. Orion has a pretty extensive and comprehensive MIB database…

Check to see that the user account you are logged in with has the Reports folder selected on the User Account Edit page.

You set config retention policies by using a scheduled job to set up a periodic purge of the archive. Go to Jobs on the Configs tab. Edit the default Purge Configs job or add a new job if needed. On the "Add Job Specific Details" tab of the job edit you can select the "Purge all configs except for the last" option and set…

All you have to do is edit the network map resource to select the name of the new top level map.

Would love to see an answer to this question. SolarWinds?

Looks like this is a Bluecoat OID.

Aw, come on folks! A little Christmas present? Just a little information? Thanks in advance.

Use a node custom property named "node_alert", or whatever you want to call it. Choose text format and fill it out for each node with the appropriate email address for that node. Then, in your alert Trigger Action, enter ${node_alert} in the To: field of the email action.

Open Regedit and then go to the following registry location: My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolarWinds\Orion\AP Monitor. See the Version in the right hand window.

You can get this done using the Filter Results tab in Report Writer. Set an elementary condition where "Status is not equal to Unplugged".

There is a TriggerTimeStamp in the AlertStatus table.

Actually, there is no "manage Energywise" option there. If you have selected an interface (not at the node level), you will see the "Override Power Level" option available.

Create a report of the type, Current Status of Group Members. Then, you need only two fields, Group Name and Group Member Name. All you have to do is add the Count option in the function field of the Group Member Name field and you will have it.

Anyone???

If you are running NPM v12.3, then most if not all of the data variables you list are already available if you select Custom Table as the content type, and then select "UPS" as the category you want to report on. If any of the variables you need are not in the list, you could still get them by creating custom Mode pollers…

Try this. Open the Advanced Alert Manager. Create a new alert. On the Trigger Condition tab, select the Custom Node Poller option in the Type of Property to Monitor menu. Add two simple conditions under the ALL statement. In the first one select Custom Node Pollers--> OID as the field, set the second field to "equal to",…

If this is a Basic alert, select the alert, click on Edit Alert. Select the Alert Trigger tab and deselect the "Send Alert anytime status changes" box if it is checked. Then choose the trigger and reset status conditions that you want. If it is an Advanced alert, then on the Trigger C ondition and Reset Conditions tabs you…

All you have to do is add a field in the report for Event Type and add the COUNT function for it.

Pardon a suggestion please. Have you demonstrated that Orion can perform the maintenance procedures on one or two smaller tables in the database? It may be that the syslog table is too large for the procedure to work. You could test this theory by compacting a few smaller tables to make sure the process is working. If it…

bleggett, I have found the process to be somewhat unreliable or inconsistent, but one thing I have done that seems to work more often than not is use the OpenStreetMap website to pinpoint the address. Then, I just copy the address it finds and paste it into the Geocode Options Sample area of the…

An element is either a node, interface or volume. So, a switch with 48 ports, a CPU and RAM would be counted as 51 elements if all of those elements are monitored.

Do all of these interfaces (or at least a large portion of them) have any common words in their interface captions? If so, you could do a search on the Manage Nodes page (with Interfaces displayed). Then you could select all desired interfaces at one time and Edit the properties to make them unpluggable.

I don't know about any future possibilities, but have you looked at using the Universal Device Poller tool in NPM to configure custom node pollers with useful OIDs? The SysObJect ID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.5596 would appear to have OIDs related to videoconferencing, multiconferencing, and gateway information that might be useful.

Make sure that when you include the UnDP as a resource on the View that you go to the Edit page for the resource and select "Yes" for the Auto-Hide Resource option. This will remove the resource from the page if it has not been assigned to the node or interface.

Check the properties of the custom poller to be sure that you selected the "Keep historical data" option.

This is something that is covered in the Orion training offered by Corona Technical Services (don't know if that is the training you will be attending). You can use the Custom Property Editor to create a Memo type property called Support_Link. In the blank for each node, paste in the link to the Node Details page for the…

Did you set the Interface Details view to "none" inside the user account settings?

Soumya t, If you are performing a new installation of the latest version of each application, it will not really matter which order you employ, but most users will start with NPM. Hopefully, you have configured a separate server for the NTA flow storage database. If so, you should install the database portion of NTA on…

You should be able to simply take the value for VolumeSpaceAvailable that is pulled from the database and divide it by 1 million. I think the following syntax is correct: ${VolumeSpaceAvailable}/1000000 megs remaining. Or use the figure of 1 billion to display in gigs. Remember that the "$" sig and what is inside the…
