Do you think you could expand on your needs a little? I'm trying to understand exactly what you would like to be able to do because I think we're trying to do the same thing here. If you want to discuss this offline I think we might be able to help each other out. Shoot me an email when/if you get a chance. Thanks.

That thought had crossed my mind when I was specing out the work with our developer but honestly we wouldn't get much use out of being able to do that and I was trying to keep everything as simple as possible. That certainly can be done and I think with pretty minimal effort. Should just be a matter of having the SQL…

In my case we're polling against a couple of Windows 2003 R2 SP2 (32-bit) one physical on an IBM HS20 blade and the other virtual on VMWare ESX also running on an HS20. We're just pulling back DHCP info and in this case the data isn't that important so it didn't bother me to turn off the pollers. I'd like to have the info…

Denny, Had I known World domination were on the table I would have let you know that we were working on this little solution in-house. I've uploaded a zip with some screenshots of our handy dandy outage scheduler. It honestly almost looks like it was meant to be there. Let me know what you think. BTW, there are three…

Nothing shared yet but I'll post some screenshots tomorrow when I'm back in the office.

Sorry for the very late update on this but support resolved my case on 10/28. There was a custom poller causing the issue, here's the fix from support: This issue has to do with custom pollers and the 2 pollers that appear to be causing the problems are 1.) noPendingOffers 2.) noAddInUse Go into UnDP and disable these 2…

As a follow-up to my post above here's what the developer who did the SQL work for us has to say about how we're accomplishing the scheduled/recurring outage functionality: "We can can add/remove any number of weekly/onetime future maintenance windows to any subset of nodes. To do this, we created a separate table…

Denny, Thanks for the SQL script example, that should be helpful. I would like to reiterate the above request/question about plans to add the functionality in the web-console or in system manager. This seems like it would be very easy to implement. I love Orion but the lack of this feature which is inherent to most…

Opened a case earlier today, case# 63731 Haven't been asked for the job engine logs yet but if you point me to where they are I'll go ahead and get them sent. Thanks for your help! Brad

If anyone is interested, we've done some custom SQL and PHP work and integrated with the Orion NPM web interface to provide this functionality. Obviously this isn't a "supported" solution but so far we have found it to be very useful.

I've always found the alert for "Device rebooted" to be problematic for this specific reason along with a couple others. We have some Net_SNMP devices that don't actually reboot but the snmp service restarts at particularly inconvenient times causing some unappreciated (especially by my wife) pages at all hours. I stopped…

As an update to the CPU utilization problem I'm having post upgrade, I am receiving the error referenced above about every 5 minutes. This corresponds to my volume statistics collection interval if that means anything to anyone. Brad

Didn't run into the ASP.NET script map error but AD authenication was an issue for sure. I'm also now noticing that Dr. Watson (DW20.exe) is going crazy, hogging CPU and as a result the Orion site is painful to use. I'm getting several repeating event log errors from source ".NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting" that read as…

I'm all for as tightly integrated a solution as possible but seriously.....just purchase NotePager, it's $30 well spent. I'm no expert but if you have any questions on how to use with Orion I'm sure I can help. If not I'm certain there are a couple of dozen people smarter than I on this forum who can. For what it's worth,…

You're probably using AD authentication? Try going back to the standard authentication for Orion and then run the config wizard again. You should be able switch back to AD auth after the wizard completes.

Outstanding, thanks for posting this!
