I am hopping the new version of APM will address this. I heard the new version of APM is supposed to include hardware monitoring of HP and Dell, I am hoping they include the monitoring of VMware hardware with that. Can any staff comment on that? I asked that same question on THIS post and the answer was Yes, that is in the…

It seems resonable to assume that if/when a fix is implemented it won't break a thing for current implementations. It will swap the logic to be the way it was intended and for current implementations all that would mean is changing the labels to be correct for the logic that is in use. At least this seems like resonable…

Glad to hear it's coming soon! I signd up for the beta today when I realized it was available, thanks for the update.

Have there been any updates on this? As we move all of our systems and services to cloud based services running on VMWare we really need a way to detect hardware failures.

arrrg. it's continually frustrating to have to have separate templates based on polling frequency and now 32/64. We end up having a long list of application templates per a node that are all similar except for these two things. For example some IIS or SQL things should be queries more frequently than others. But now we…

My last post on this thread details this out. The ultimate conclusion was that Orion is looking at the proper data (ifOctetsIn & ifOctetsOut) and properly representing that in the graphs without any manipulation; hence the data is correct. If you are having problems with the data it could be related to using 32bit vs.…

Andy If I am understanding correctly and please correct me if I am wrong... The logic functions perfectly fine, just reversed from what is intended? The bug is the fact that "None" should represent an AND statement and "Not All" should represent an OR statement (opposite of the current implementation)?

We definitely believe that our topology discovery can be improved. We are changing the way we gather topology. Actually UDT uses different mechanisms than NPM, and we will modify NPM to use this improved method. We will also make it easier to update topology info more often. We're not abandoning any features in NPM or NCM.…

Any updates on a release date for this? We are planning on a full Orion (NPM, APM, NCM) at our data-center which will need to support Windows 2008. We are currently looking at having to use SNARE but would prefer to use the native Orion software if possible. I would hate to go through and install SNARE on everything just…

Well, our business requires that we poll data on our VMWare infrastructure. The problem we are having is specifically with the vCenter appliances that VMWare has (as opposed to the vCenter application that runs on Windows). I believe the problem to be with SNMP because restarting SNMP on the vCenter appliance resolves the…

I'm probably missing something simple. LOL, I suspect so as well but don't feel bad. I have opened many support tickets and threads here in Thwack only to have somebody point out something simple that I have missed.

We have the same serious HP Proliant pain - caused by HP's decision to only provide this infrastructure information (i.e. physical disk status, fan, temp etc) when using the HP CIM/SIM providers. It wouldn't be because they are trying to sell the HP Systems Insight Manager product would it? I'm hoping that SolarWinds will…

ddemetra, thanks for the screenshoots. Always helps to see what others are seeing exactly. I am in the same boat with you. I can see all the info you see and I also do not get any disk volume information. byrona posted last week that he could he disk volume information, I asked him if he would post a screen shot of it,…

I have ESX 4.1 Update 1, and vCenter 4.1. I do not see any options to add a field that says anything about "Virtualization". The ESX servers are being recognized as VMware servers, and I do have the polling set to include VMware on discovery, and they do have a valid ID and password for discovery. When I create a new…

Also, I should note that the numbers I have been working with from Orion are not bps but Total Bytes Transferred.

I still find that I have a foot in both camps when it comes to this issue. I completely understand the perspective of SolarWinds and respect the challenges they face as they grow and add more products to their portfolio; however, I also completely understand the side of the customers frustrated on this topic. I would like…

Also, a few more details to note about this... An application is only down if ALL of the components in it are down. If you want to get notified only if one (or some number less than all) component(s) in an application goes down you either need to set it to alert when Application stauts is equal to Warning or Cricial or you…

Well, in your Trigger Condition you will probably want to start with Node Status is not equal to Down as you probably don't want alerts on this when your nodes are down. Since you are trying to monitor an application you should probably change your Type of Property to Monitor to APM: Application. Change your Reset…

Assuming your system time is between 7am - 7pm and the day isn't Sunday I see no reason why this isn't working as setup. All fields appear to be set correctly. I completely agree with mdriskell. As noted previously, I used your exact alert criteria on my system and it worked perfectly. A this point I would suggest opening…

Okay, I see where you are coming from. I went and looked at several other people reporting similar if not the same problem and thus far have not seen any input from SW on the matter (not to suggest it isn't out there, I just didn't run across it). On the interfaces that you are seeing this problem; when you look at the…

I agree that Orion should support basic Datastore monitoring as part of the virtualization monitoring; especially if this is something that Whatsup supports natively. Basically any Datastore information available through the ESX API should be available to Orion since it now talks to that API. Even if Orion provided the…

Thanks for this; however... The math that I am attempting to redo isn't the data from the Orion database. I am doing an snmp-get of the counters (using Engineers Toolset) and comparing that with the data in Orion and the two are not the same. Can you please provide the exact OID number you are using? Classically I have…

No, this has not been resolved. If a person inputs a different ViewID in the URL it will take them to that view. We have customers that have accounts that are restricted to just their nodes and this has not been a huge problem thought I still consider it a security flaw in the product. The only important thing to keep in…

My current issues are as follows: * Custom node property account limitations not being acknowledged by the new Alerts widget * vCenter polling not working on all of my vCenter servers * vCenter objects (such as volumes and interfaces) going into unknown status on vCenter appliances * Some alerts stuck in triggered status…

Seems to me that it would be more logical to have "none" be the AND statement and "not all" be the OR statement.

Sorry to resurrect an older thread. I am using NPM 10.1. The UnDP charts seem to be auto-scaling at the moment, but I wanted control of the maximum values. Has anyone found a way to do this? I've only been using the product for a little over a month so I'm sure I could be overlooking an option to modify these settings.…

I am pretty sure the new Log Forwarder for Server 2008 is available. I saw it available for download in my customer portal area for additional software.

Well, I didn't put a lot of stock in that idea but figured it was worth a try. Few questions... * Does this problem occur on all interfaces or just some?* If just some is there something that they all have in common? * On the interfaces where this happens if you look at the Interface Details element what is noted for…

That's an example of moving from ICMP to SNMP. We're trying to find examples of moving SNMP to ICMP. When we design, we need to understand use cases. The latter case isn't obvious. We have a Hitachi SAN that was added as an SNMP device. Unfortunately the SNMP implementation on that device seems bugged in such a way that…

Byron, I was still hoping to get a screen shot of your ESXi 4 Disk Volumes showing up in Orion v10. Thanks. My understanding is that CPU, Memory, Disk, and even Interface informaiton just isn't available on ESXi (which is what we are using) for the host systems. I think that information may be available on ESX, however;…
