Thanks Andy, it all made sense in my head but it's always good to have somebody validate.

This link may help a little: Orion Additional Polling Engine and Modules -- What do I buy for modules...Nothing because it’s now free! Ok, I just about spewed coffee everywhere laughing at this!!!

In our case even if we had it on a different appliance it would likely be using the same storage back-end so I am not sure how much benefit this would be. Do you have architecture documentation you can point me to for architecting LEM solutions for different environments using these different options that you mention? We…

I know that you can configure the same appliance to store it, I configured it in a lab once. I am more concerned about the impact on storage and performance for the appliance... and any other impacts I have have not thought of.

I don't suppose you have a license like the demo license that doesn't expire that I can run for a few (5ish) nodes? While we have purchased the product, it would be nice to have a small environment for testing/training. I have submitted a feature request for this HERE across the entire SolarWinds product line.

Yeah, I was thinking about trying that. I was working on finding the specifics (variables to use and if was app or template specific) but now that you have provided me that I think I will make the suggestion. Thanks Jeremy! P.S. If there are others out there that have ideas or ways that they are doing things I would still…

Someone else recently started a thread about the same thing. They said the issue is resolved in v10.1. That thread is here: I am now running on the most current version of Orion NPM but am still experiencing this issue on some of my network devices; most recently on a Cisco ASA. This node does have 64bit Counters enabled…

Someone else recently started a thread about the same thing. They said the issue is resolved in v10.1. That thread is here: Ah, thanks. I have been holding off on the upgrade until the dust settles a bit.

There is currently no way to manually configure the way that the graph scales. There is already another thread on this where a Product Manager has logged an enhancement request for this.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work on any of our Fortinets (200B or 612B), I get an "unsupported OID" response. Thus far my experience with Fortinet and their usage of SNMP has not been very good as none of it seems to work as expected.

Yes it support. MIB name : FortigateCPUusage OID : 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.4.4.2.1.2 Has something changed with the MIB recently? When I try and look that up the closest I get is "1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101" which shows up as fnTrapSystem. Please let me know what I am missing here as I have a FortiGate 200B and a FortiGate 612B…

Byrona, this is good feedback and is in line with some of our internal thoughts as well. Awesome, glad to hear this. Thanks for the quick response!

So revert back to what 10.0? Correct However, this may no longer be an issue since our poller is now a VM I can just take a snap shot and revert back to my snap shot if something goes horribly wrong.

There is a solution pending. The reason we can't do it today is that we rely on the Windows trap service with doesn't support SNMPv3. Our plan is to use our recently-acquired Kiwi Syslog/Trap service for Orion, and Kiwi doesn't leverage the Windows trap service. We will add SNMPv3 to Kiwi and add Kiwi to Orion. Does this…

Awesome, I swear I looked, not sure how I missed that. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much, that was what I thought but wanted to hear from somebody else to be sure.

I am going to have to agree with jswan. NCM is a great product and does a wonderful job of managing configurations for Network Devices; however, is in no way a solution for server config management.

I think that doing both would be best but this would need to be configurable each time you put the Action in to forward a log. Basically when you choose the forward a log as an Alert Action you will then be presented with options as to how it will be forwarded. Other Syslog servers I have worked with function this way.

It's not so much a use case as it is planning. We are an MSP and we will be offering Web Transaction Monitoring as a service to our clients (at least that's the working plan) and as we structure the service I was trying to determine how many steps per transaction we should limit the service to for our clients. My…

Well, now the download link isn’t working at all, below is the link that I was using… downloads.solarwinds.com/.../SolarWinds-NPM-v10.4.2-Eval.p607.zip

This thread I found suggests that they are using something different... ?PageIndex=1 Would be nice to get confirmation for sure on how this is being calculated because I am not sure if it's accurate or not but I am having doubts.

How does this work for multi-processor systems? I did a MibWalk on one of my systems and see an hrProcessorLoad for each CPU in the system and would like to know if and how this is taken into consideration?

Thanks, that was a huge help. Is the Gateway a separate license or is it included with the MFT product?

I don't think the suppression condition will work considering that suppression conditions are completely independent queries. The real question I need to get answered is as stated above... "When an Advanced Alert is in a tripped state, does the alert engine look at the Trigger Conditions or does it just look at the Rearm…

I guess what I really need to know is as follows... When an Advanced Alert is in a tripped state, does the alert engine look at the Trigger Conditions or does it just look at the Rearm Conditions?

Vinay BY I have to respectfully disagree and that is the crux of my problem. I am fully aware of the port documentation that SolarWinds has and that is how I came up with my initial list of ports that I created. The problem is that one of the methods SolarWinds provides to monitor things from within a DMZ is to use an…

Thanks Leon Adato! When I talked to the support guy I asked about port 80 between web and addt'l poller and he didn't seem to think that was required. As far as the rest of your list is concerned, that seems like it's very likely correct and adds the few bits I was missing.

What I have I got from that document. I just wanted those were the only communication paths necessary for the additional poller to communicate with the rest of the SolarWinds environment and function properly. It sounds like you would agree that those are the correct communication paths?

SNMP, does it need to be WMI to get better details?

I realize this doesn't directly answer your question but have you looked at the APM module for Orion? It is specifically designed to do this amongst many other application level monitoring methods.
