Balki 1429 That is what I was looking for, thanks! I assume you also have the ability to launch real-time graphs on a on-demand basis? I ask because this is noted on the SolarWinds site for VMAN... Real-time dashboards simplify identification & troubleshooting of performance, capacity & configuration problems

Ah, thanks for the followup. I will try to download them again on Monday. Do you have any feedback on my other question regarding what settings/configurations I might loose if I d a fresh v10 install and connect it to my current DB? I am guessing that there are settings that are not stored in the DB but I don't know what…

No, that is the part I thought was weird. I even asked everybody else here if they did anything and of all the people that have access to the system, nobody touched it.... or I have a mole! = ) I guess I will just keep an eye on it since I don't see that it did it at all last night. It could also be related to the…

If we could define the alert right at the node level instead of having a seperate alert manager that might give us quite a bit more flexibility. Just a thought... Actually my experience has been exactly the opposite. Using the Alert Manager gives you that large scale management ability; managing alerts at the node level…

Oh, I totally understand how the five nines is handled in reality. I just want to make sure I know what I can and can't measure in terms of uptime/downtime with Orion. My understanding based on this thread is that the true five nines is not possible but three nines is?

I'll add a +1 to the request of having node status changed depending on UnDP alert status, for the very same reasons. Stuart A good implementation for this would be to simply add an Advanced Alert option to change node status (and possibly add some additional alert status types). I added feature request specifying this…

I'll let the PM chime in on that as an FER. My concern is that if you start placing options that affect alerts in different places, it may complicate alert troubleshooting and application. Hrm, I can see your point here and it's one I had not considered. Maybe an update or revamp to the Custom Properties system then?

I thought it odd that alerting option was not available for Syslog as well. However; I like the suggestion that Denny puts fourth of having a consolidated alerts view where I can see only the alerts I want from all of the different facilities. To further elaborate on the concept of a consolidated alerts view, I would like…

Hrm... Here are the details of my specific use case... I receive a log that indicates a system has been dropped out of a VIP on a Fortinet. That then triggers a state variable to be "down". As long as the state variable is "down" I want an email every 30 minutes reminding me that it's down. Eventually I will receive a log…

UnDP's will work for this but that requires NPM. I think he is only evaluating APM.

I found an easier way to do this. In IIS bind your SolarWinds site to https (port 443) only. Then create a redirect site that is http (port 80) and make it a redirect to the https site. Now when people go to http://<your Orion site> they will automatically be redirected to https://<your Orion site>. This is what we have…

I have verified that all of the counters exist. I also opened a support ticket as you suggested. (case #210901)

We are also running NCM 7.1.1, am I required to upgrade that as well or can I do that at a later date?

Awesome, thanks Rob!

I'm not using NetSNMP. I am using the default SNMP agent installed with Windows Server 2003 R2. That is interesting, sounds like the Windows SNMP Agent may have a similar problem with large volumes. We don't have any Windows systems with drives that big so I wouldn't have seen this problem. It would be interesting to grab…

I had an offline conversation with several people at SolarWinds regarding this very topic. It basically comes down to this... SolarWinds doens't support or not support full recovery mode. If you call SolarWinds support and the problem looks to be database performance related they will point to the fact that you have it set…

I did select "Incident" but that didn't make the Problems tab appear. Were there any other items you had to select for that to appear?

Hi Byrona - is there something you're looking to do that you can't do execute script in the webUI? We definitely hear you on enriching the webUI with more functionality - our goal is to get the webUI as rich as possible over time. Based on what you are saying I am assuming that executing a script via the webUI is pretty…

I think the alert taxonomy is the piece that is the most confusing and often the invisible part of the process, it wasn't until weeks after using the product and a call to support before I was even aware the policies were there (I admittedly am one of the people that will read the manual only as a last resort). Correct me…

So do you have proxy set and is it working correctly? No, proxy is set to False.

 Our next release will focus on the custom polling UI and engine and address some of these issues. Denny, glad to hear this as we also suffer from the same problem of having to manually assign all of the necessary pollers to each new node that we add. Also, based on your comment, is it true that the UnDP pollers are…

I did open a support ticket and was provided the following procedure which resolved the problem... 1. Go to Start -> Programs -> solarwinds Orion-> Advanced Features-> Database Manager 2. Add server -> SQL server with NPM 3. Expand NPM database (e.g. default NetPerfMon) 4. Right-click on WebuserSettings -> Query 5. Click…

Thanks! In addition I found that if I click on the Edit button for the map element I get the following error on that web server as well... Orion Website Error There was an error communicating with the Orion server. Additional Information There was no endpoint listening at…

Well, I think I resolved the issue. It was an oversight during the hotfix where the file (SolarWinds.APM.Probes) got renamed but the new one never got put in place. It's amazing how it works now that we have the file! My apologies!

So, is it possible to add my own nodes? I have a node that I want to send Syslog traffic from into LEM. I don't see the ability to add that node in LEM.

Ah, seems the demo that I downloaded was just 3.5 so that seemed to work. Thanks so much!

is a SolarWinds developer and he confirmed with development that it functions they way that he suggests in his response. 

aLTeReGo I added a host file entry for the short name of the polling engine and was able to ping it using the short name to confirm it was resolving properly. When I attempted to move it to a new polling engine it failed again. The problem seems to be that it's updating in the Orion database that it's on the new polling…

aLTeReGo​ I am running the agents in Agent Initiated (Active) mode. My expectation is that they likely can NOT resolve the hostname of the poller. If what you are saying is correct I should be able to test this by putting in a host file entry allowing it to resolve. I will test this and let you know what I find. Also, are…

Ah, I see, that does work. What would be preferable to creating "fake" IP's would be the ability to have an External Node be created with any name such as "Bob" allowing for the creation of Meta Nodes for URL monitoring. Maybe this would be an additional node option called Meta Node or an option you can select for an…
