It should work to give the account only node management rights, but then not give the user a node list on his home page. That way, the user will not have access to any "manage nodes" links from his web home page. Also, since the user would no doubt have maps on his home page, make sure you set his node details view to…

The field, "RediscoveryInterval" is in the NodesData table if you are using Platform v2015.1.2. An earlier version would likely have it in the Nodes table.

I must disagree with mharvey. I tested the following scenario successfully as it relates to percent memory utilization for nodes. I disabled any advanced alert dealing with memory utilization so as to remove that variable in the test. I then edited two specific nodes to enable the "Override Orion General Thresholds"…

Yes, you can use a custom property to create an account limitation. Go to Grouping and Access Control in the Programs menu and launch the Account Limitation Builder. Click Start. Click the Add button and type a name for the limitation. Then select your custom property from the Custom Property drop down menu. Choose a…

Application discovery is exactly that - application discovery, so technically one cannot conduct a component discovery. However, since an application template can contain just a single component, you can just create a custom template consisting of the one component you want to discover. Then, go through the application…

If you have multiple SolarWinds apps, you can go to the following registry key to find this info: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SOLARWINDS

Try this: Open a new Events type of report, on the Select Fields tab add variables for Node Name, Event Time, Event Type Name and Message. On the Filter Results tab add "Event Type is equal to" conditions for as many different event types as you need (Node Added, Unmanage Node, Manage Node). Make sure you use ANY as the…

There is also already a resource named "Down Nodes" that can be added to the page. No need for the custom query unless you just want the practice.
-
When I look at the OID, the Format is None rather than Enumeration. You might try that format instead since it does not make sense that an IP address should have an enumeration format in the first place. Hope that works.

Anyone?

I don't think that would present an appreciable load to the DB, but have you considered using a custom property to designate the 200 servers for the alert? Would it take you too long to create a Yes/No property and assign it to the servers in the custom property editor and then designate the Yes option as a filter in the…

Hope I can help.... 1. I'm not a web programmer, but there is an Orion web resource that can do what you want here. On the Node Details page place the resource, "User Defined Links" from the Miscellaneous category. Then you can designate a list of up to 10 links, one of which can be the link you referenced. Just make sure…

On the Trigger Conditions tab of your alert, you can limit the scope to just that Machine Type. You could then configure another version of the same alert and have it apply to all other machine types if you need it. Is that what you are after?

The MIBs.cfg file is stored on the Primary polling server in a location that depends on the OS version you have. For instance, with Windows Server 2008, the file is in: C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds However, you are not able to import MIBs into this file. If you have custom MIBS that you would like to add, you can contact…

You can replace the header logo (not the footer last time I checked) with one of your own. All you have to do is save your logo with the filename "ReportHeader" as a JPG file and store it in the following location: Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion Try that!

Anyone?

Yes, you can. You do it using "alert variables". a list of available variablers os included in Appendix C of the Orion Administrator Guide, which is in the Documentation folder that is part of the zip file you downloaded, or can be downloaded from the SolarWinds website. There you will find several pages of variables that…

I have seen this error in the past and as I recall it was due at least in part to time synchronization issues between the Orion polling server and the database server. I have been told by SW support that Orion is not very tolerant when it cannot communicate with the database. Time differentials as little as 30 seconds can…

It should mute any alerts that involve that device.
-
Did you change the port for SNMP on the Edit Properties page for the node. You should be able to poll the device on a port other than 161.
-
Ignore the first response as it will not work correctly. See this screenshot. In this one, I used the Complex Conditions so that the alert fires when the status of both the Primary and Secondary interfaces are in the required state at the same time.
-
I tried the same thing you have and got the same result. I reconstructed the Trigger Conditions and it worked for me. See the screenshot.

How often are you status polling the parent in the dependency? If the interval is the same or greater than the nodes in the child group, you might lower the poll interval for the edge router so that it's status is determined more often. It also could be that the child being a Group could make for a slower decision process…

Additional information. I looked in the Engines table of the Orion database. I see that the two engines have a unique license key, and a different PackageName. The other "primary" poller has a package name of Orion NPM Polling Engine v9 SLX and it indicates that it has 13 days left in the evaluation. I suppose that…
-
If I am not mistaken, the SysName is the device name obtained via SNMP query from the device MIB, while the Caption is the name of that device in the Orion database. That is why you can change the Caption without effecting the actual name in the device MIB. Rediscovery is not supposed to overwrite changes to the Caption.
-
Try Machine Type as the field for the OS and try VolumeDescription as the variable using wither "contains" or "starts with" as the qualifiers to filter for the C drives.
-
The table is now named "AllEngines".
-
You can do this JBob. For the user account, set Admin rights to No and Node Management and Customize Views to Yes.
-
If you have not already done so, download the License Manager from the SW website to your existing server. Install and run it and that will deactivate your license on your current server. Then install Orion on the new server and then upgrade to v9 when ready. Is your Orion database on a separate server?
