I could really use some help on this if anybody has been able to do this!

I actually posted a design idea as a feature request that would satisfy this request as well as other similar requests. Take a look at my idea HERE and vote for it if you think it would work.

Odd, I thought I replied to this yesterday but my response isn't here. I guess I will try again... You can write three alerts, one for each of these values, alternatively you can write a single alert that will cover all of them. If you want to write one alert for each, go into the Advanced Alert Manager and in the Trigger…

You could try setting those interfaces to Unplugged. You can do this by editing the properties of an interface and tell it to show as Unplugged instead of Down. Hope this helps!

We run our Orion in almost the exact same environment, main difference is that we are running it on VM's; however, the hardware supporting the VM's is the same as what you are using. We also are running on Windows 2008 R2 Standard. In my experience everything is working absolutely perfectly. The website is often slow to…

WMI is much slower than SNMP. With Server 2012 WMI is even slower than it used to be. I generally always use SNMP when possible and use WMI as my 2nd option when necessary because of the speed. Also, WMI tends to be more "buggy", I have never really had problems with SNMP as it's much more reliable. Nice list though, I…

Chris What specific VMWare monitoring might we expect to see in a new version of APM? I ask because we are finding that Orion isn't currently providing us with the VMWare environment details at the level that we need. I am really excited to see if the new stuff will help out so I don't have to go find another product for…

I am very interested in the VMWare stuff as well as the Service Level Groups. Look forward to seeing more stuff on this soon!

Most cell phone companies have an email to text bridge available to you. Here is a website that shows you the email address syntax to use for the different mobile providers. http://www.topbits.com/how-to-send-text-messages-free.html Hope this helps!

I would start by simplifying things. Set the Reset Condition to the default "Reset when trigger conditions are no longer true". Once you have done this see if your alert behaves properly. If that doesn't work, you should post a screenshot of both your Alert Trigger Conditions and your Reset Conditions so that they can be…

Can you be a bit more specific on what you are trying to measure QoS on? My reflex response would be to use Cisco IPSLA between devices and then either UnDP's or the SolarWinds IPSLA tool to measure the data. However; without more specifics I can't be sure this will work for you.

If your network devices are being monitored by Orion including their interfaces then you already have the bandwidth data. At this point all you would need to do is build a dashboard that included one graph for each of the interfaces that provides the upstream pipe. We actually have a dashboard that shows this exact thing…

Currently Report Writer is not designed to create graphs. You can create views/dashboards that include both reports and graphs, you can then use the report scheduler to send those dashboards via email to your management team. Will this accomplish what you are looking for?

My rep's change every other day I no longer bother getting to know them it is useless, they might as well just introduce themselves with their employee number. I have also had this experience and frustration. I have expressed my frustration with them on more than one occasion regarding this.

You can see a list of supported data sources HERE. Hope that helps!

The Syslog server that is contained withing the Orion product is not designed to be a log management solution. It's purpose is for alerting based on specific syslog events that you know to be a problem in your environment. While I haven't seen Orion syslog crash the system, I have seen it use almost all of the CPU in a…

I would completely agree that it would be much nicer to have the Real-Time Process Explorer button on the Node detail page.

Luke, welcome to the Thwack forums! We use Procurve switches here as well and I don't see this problem (I just went and checked to make sure). Orion is just telling you the information that it is getting from the switches. I am not the strongest networking guy in the world but you might check to make sure there aren't any…

To poll WMI counters you will need APM.

I think that having both options available is best and would really like to see this feature!

Does the log collecting, parsing, and alerting functionality provided with NPM not give you what you need?

For some reason this post doesn't how up in my activity history?

This is a wonderful guide, thanks for posting this. One question I still have regarding suppression; Is the suppression an open ended query that can be met by any object or set of objects in the database that if met will suppress the alert or is it specific to the object that triggered the alert in the first place? If the…

We were able to use the following to accomplish this successfully... set private-key "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----.*[\t\r\n\v\f]*-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----.*

We have just recently ran into this problem as well and we also implemented the solution that has suggested and it seems to work very well.

It's been a while and I am curious if there has been any progress made on this security issue with view restrictions? It was suggested in THIS thread that it was being looked at a while back. Any update would be much appreciated, thanks!

I also have the same problem running on the current version. As far as I am aware this is a limitation of the system. I made a post a while back expressing my concerns about this being a security risk when exposing Orion to different customers.

This all still seems to be a problem. It would be nice if I had the ability to select which devices the object or container received it's status from, that way I could exclude the ones I don't want it getting status from.

Can somebody please let me know if this is possible?

This is not currently possible though it has been a large number of people requesting it. See the following post...
