I can't personally say that it's working. My network team said that is what they used and that it's working as expected. I will ask them to do a double check on it today and will let you know if they indicate that they have found any problems.

You will need to install and configure net-snmp. Depending on your systems it is possible that this is already installed and maybe even running. You can go to their website for more information... http://www.net-snmp.org/

Well, here are a few options that I am aware of as far as ticketing software is concerned. RT The Good: It's open source and therefore free and relatively powerful; support available for a cost The Bad: May require a fair amount of technical knowledge to get up and running and configured exactly the way you want. Numara…

Yup, that would be accurate!

I agree with Dclick, I would prefer to leverage significant investment I have made and continue to make each year for maintenance. I also don't want to have to manage multiple different applications for the same or similar thing. We purchased Orion to be our entire enterprise monitoring solution to reduce what we have to…

That workaround was my original plan but what I found out is that when I touch a job in the Winows Task Scheduler, any furhter attmpts to edit that job through the Orion software are unsuccessful. I have an open ticket on all of this right now and your support folks seem to think there is a permission issue somewhere but…

Thanks Rachel, the audit trail is definitely something we get a lot of requests for. Can you tell me which specific events are the most important for you to audit? For example: add node, delete node, un-manage node, add/delete interfaces, add/delete accounts, etc. What are the most important events for you to audit? Mav…

Okay, I am hoping that this new Trap condition will capture what I am looking for, I will update this thread as soon as I have some results...

With these settings are things now working as expected?

Im currently adding 200 nodes one by one.. (joy) oh yes and then i will go and edit the custom node properties. This should really be a simple process, import a list of devices and dynamically assign the imported nodes custom properties. On the current version you can give Orion list of systems that will then all be…

For more information on IPSLA here are some things to check out... Cisco IPSLA White Paper SolarWinds Video on IPSLA SolarWinds Document on IPSLA Hope this helps!

Then my previous answer was correct. You want to use the Cisco IPSLA protocol, this is exactly what it was designed to do. Then with Orion you can go through the rather painful process of writing your own UnDP's (like I did) to measure the data and present it otherwise you can just get the SolarWinds IPSLA module for NPM…

As far as the interval is concerned; how far back you can go at the 5 minute interval will depend on what your data consolidation is configured for; you can find this in your Polling Settings; it's the Statistics Retention setting. Be careful to not set this to high or you will end up with a database mess.

My graphs are a bit large and I also include some CPU details for the devices but below is an example...

Hrm, this is a bit of a let down and cripples our ability to monitor systems with Orion in the way that we would like. I wonder if there is any chance of Orion supporting CIM and WBEM in the near future or at all? Honestly, despite what this document describes I have not seen overwhelming support for those standards in the…

Ok, I just wrote up the feature request HERE. Feel free to go put your name on it if it's something you think would be helpful to have.

I am never excited to hear that Cisco has acquired anything really, unless it's a product that needs a good final resting place. 

The Orion syslog may work for this. It will depend on the volume of logs and how long you want to retain them for. Generally I don't recommend setting Orion syslog to retain logs for a long period of time.

Well, it would seem that several of the inventory reports, specifically "Installed Software" are Windows specific. Are there any plans in the future to include support for Linux on these reports?

If you want to know the true number of elements your system is working with you can get that information in the web interface. Go to the Polling Engines section and look at the SNMP Statistic Polling Index total number on the right; that number should reflect the true number of elements your system is polling including…

Thank you for making us aware of this issue. Do you see this happening in other forums besides NPM Feature Requests? We tested one in the IPAM Feature Request forum and it did show up in the user's activity history. This is the only place I have noticed this so far. My larger concern was that feature requests were not…

These resources are not generally on my Node Details page so I guess it all depends. I personally would like to see aside the Poll Now and Re-Discover buttons in the Node Details resource because it is used to get more "Node Details". 

I would agree, the LEM team is super awesome! Sent from my iPhone

Borgan Firstly I just have to say that your avatar makes me laugh every time I see it! As far as your points are concerned, I completely agree. In most (probably all) environments smart use of custom properties will make handling alerts much easier and coherent. As far as how suppressions are handled, I (think) can see…

One more question though, when I click on of the alert template in the alert manager I always see this "NetPerform" thing on the trigger action tab. Is this the action to logged the alert on the web console? Yes, you are correct. You can remove that and add a different action if you prefer.

Took me a while to find my original post on this; here it is... Basically they confirmed that there is no way to lock them down as we would like.

Sweet, thanks Brandon! Also congrats on your SCP Cert, I am going to take the test next week... hopefully I don' t fail. So I am assuming that when I add a new node that has an overlapped IP, so long as I specify a polling engine where that IP doesn't already exist I will be good?

You need to go into vCenter (not Orion) and clear the alarm that likely exists on this system.

Donald I would be curious to see what your environment looks like with regards to Hardware (physical and virtual systems), as well as how many elements (including UnDP's) you run per polling engine and how you maintain good performance for your systems. That is if you don't mind sharing that info.

General log management is something we're thinking about. While I agree that it's a reasonable request in APM, it's not something that's coming up a lot. When we talk to folks, most of the ones who want something to solve their log management problem want a lot of other features beyond the ones you describe. Since we agree…
