I agree with you , the problem is likely on the DB side, likely a poorly written query. Our overall DB performance is incredibly fast as it was just moved to all dedicated SSD drives. The charts that are slow are the Component Aggregate charts that pull data from WMI based component monitors.

Thanks for the suggestion; however, the problem isn't with the web console. The web console is extremely fast and responsive, the problem is specifically with this dashboard that I have and from the steps I have mentioned above it seems to be related specifically to the resources in the dashboard and how they are loaded. I…

Hello Yann. I'm tasked with deploying and managing my company's "Orion 2010.1.0 April 2010" system. Currently I am trying to set up an application monitor for an Apache install on a CentOS system. My trouble is I'm not an Apache expert and I do not find clear information on setting up only the Apache monitoring service. In…

Will this also allow me to configure custom properties, select which items I want to monitor on the node and assign application templates?

Well, since upgrading I can't say I have seen the problem but I also haven't been looking for it. However, in order to optimize APM I would recommend switching as much stuff as possible away from WMI and using SNMP as an alternative. In my experience WMI has been slow and clunky compared to SNMP.

In this specific case it's a failover cluster and the Node I am trying to add this to is the VIP which I have created a node for in Orion. I have confirmed that it's listening on all ports. Data-collections on the node itself are working perfectly so I know it's not an issue with WMI. I have confirmed that UAC is off as I…

There are potential issues with regard overlapping subnets you may have to work with, but again there are ways of dealing with this.What methods do you use? Would it be possible to get an additional polling engine and place it at the remote site, have an internal interface in the private IP space to monitor the nodes and…

In the WebUI go to the Admin option on the bar and then choose the Manage Views. In here you can create different types of views. There is a section in the Admin Guide on how to do this as well. Hope this helps!

rob.hock I was hoping to get the data in a tabular data chart, is this possible?

I will third this. I have suggested this in different ways in different posts. In general I would like to see the additional pollers more integrated.

When we tried to do an snmpwalk on the linux server it works. But if we do snmpwalk on the vmware server where we installed the npm and nta. It resulted to several lines stating that it can't see some modules... etc. Our server admin said that the snmp configuration on the linux server is working fine because it has no…

Thanks for your attempts Borgan. I have already tried a lot of this stuff also to no avail as well. I keep thinking that I must be missing something and there there must be a way to do it; then again it may be wishful thinking. = )

In this case you want to go with AnyAlert.ToolAlias

If that happened you are not using static one-to-one NAT. You can't have multiple devices translating to the same IP address, that won't work because Orion just sees the single translated IP address and doesn't know that it's being translated to several different systems. If you use a static one-to-one NAT this won't be a…

The best possible option to look into would be using a Universal Device Poller with the Host Resource MIB; however, I am not sure how well this would work with indexing and across multiple systems where the OID would be different on different systems for the same process. Ultimately APM is going to be your best bet but I…

Ah I see, my apologies. I thought you were trying to take the All Triggered Alerts resource from the Summary View and somehow add additional functionality to that not realizing that the Alert view was available. I am not aware of any way to modify the Alert view. One alternative solution would be to use FireFox as your…

I am not sure if you are aware but you can use the UnDP to poll data without having to present it in the interface. Once the data is polled and stored in the database you can do with it as you like. If you are able to write stored procedures you clearly know your way around SQL. Use the UnDP to poll the data and then write…

Maybe somebody from SolarWinds could give us some insight into the maddness behind this grouping logic. Wink! Wink!

I should also note that I did grab that template just a few days ago and I still had the problem. As I noted before, checking the "count statistic as difference" seemed to resolve the issue there.

Thanks for the reply, I was afraid if I called support with this they may not have any idea what I was talking about. update your existing template by enabling "count statistic as difference" for the Job Engine v2 Lost Jobs component monitor. This seemed to do the trick on this one. As far as the jobs queued goes, I think…

Not sure, I added AppInsight via the old method by going into SAM Templates; is there a difference in the way it's added?

Firstly, if you are managing any significant quantity of Syslogs then the Syslog functionality of Orion NPM is almost definitely not going to satisfy PCI compliancy requirements, specifically for retention. You will need to find a way to archive these logs outside of the database, potentially use Kiwi Syslog or something…

In my 2+ years of experience with Orion, the URL/Links are very static and don't typically change. I have used them for a lot of different things and an update has never broken this. I think you should be safe using it this way.

Nightmare Creating the two different charts shouldn't make your pages load any more slowly than one chart with all of the same data in it. Either way it will have to query the database for the same data. Try doing this with the two charts as Brandon suggested and see how it functions. I ended up doing this for our border…

We work with some outside hosting companies as well and have had the same experience, they don't let us have access into their stuff. Ultimately, you should put the responsibility on them to monitor their stuff and let you know if there is a problem. One thing you will probably be able to do is setup a round-trip mail test…

Hey Danielle, it's been a while and still no followup on the N-able and SolarWinds relationship? Any idea on when we might hear something?

byron, vmware vcpu scheduling issue was for all intents and purposes eliminated 4.0 and further improved in 4.1 4.0 Info - http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/perf-vsphere-cpu_scheduler.pdf 4.1 Info - http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/VMW_vSphere41_cpu_schedule_ESX.pdf Thanks for this info, I am glad to see that this…

Have you tried playing with the data type that it's collecting it as? This is what determines what type of data display options you have.

Thanks, this helps provide a framework for me to follow and I would still love to hear from others as well. The same thing with alerts, I would love to know how people decide which correlations to use when it's not necessarily clear what they are looking for.

Once you have sent your search to nDepth there is a gear in the upper right hand side of the display, click on that gear and save the search. Now that the search is saved you can use that same gear icon and select the schedule option, form there you can schedule the search.
