That is what I thought. Unfortunately it doesnt appear on my server. 

Yep. I thought that is where it was supposed to be. Its not there on my server when I try to build the table. 

That helps. I don't see an immediate change on the one problem node, but I suspect that will take a bit to show up. Thanks!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how Orion heatmaps are done, but without walking a building with a heatmap tool, you cant possibly know the REAL signal strength. Things like walls, objects, etc can drastically effect the actual signal strength. Heatmaps only by assuming what an AP is doing, are strictly theoretical. Things like…

the tiered method could work for me... I think. but it may be interesting. my network isnt very deep, but its getting pretty wide. with a 10-20-30 implementation, I'm not sure how that would work for us. 90% of my network would all be at or below the the "30" tier. So assuming site A's router fails. How do I get it to not…

Ugh. You guys arent making it easy for me to ditch my old $500 unlimited node monitoring system. (which will remain nameless) Granted its not as robust as Orion, but it's drop dead simple to create dependencies. (devices are created within a dependency tree, drag & droppable as the items are physically moved) I am…

Tried that already. Polling LAN devices every 5 minutes. Routers every 60 seconds. Still manages to do it. I think it has something to do with dynamic groups vs manually assigning devices. I see more sites that have members added via a dynamic query "if node IP address begins with..." rules than when I just manually add…

I was thinking more of something to add to the main device page so my help desk guys dont have to click through several menus. But that might work as well.

I re-created them from scratch & I left the old alarms active & enabled the newly re-created "clones" and only the new ones worked. I just did the same and that fixed the issue for my two critical alerts. I would still like to fix the canned alerts that are already there. I do use quite a few of them as well, but I dont…

That did it. You ROCK!.

Yes and no. we have some OSPF/BGP routing issues where our failover kicks in for no good reason and has our carrier stumped. We cant actually test for the fiber dropping because everything still responds to pings... the traffic routes just change. A simple BGP reset command on one of our routers and its back to normal, but…

OK. Sorry. I start and it picks the first poller alphabetically. So I look at the properties and indeed I'm looking at the details of a UPS poller. I change the target to my ASA VPN poller I go into the poller details again, and its not showing me the correct OID, field details, etc. Its still showing the original UPS…

Spot on! Thanks! I can see my groups again.

Dont get me started on dependencies and groups. Mine only work half the time. I have dynamic dependencies set on all of my sites, yet more than half the time when a parent goes down, I still get a page for every device behind it. And all of our sites have redundant connections with auto failover. So I dont see a site go…

Traps could be an option.

That was it. NPM had it listed via one interface, and NCM was hitting it on another.

LOL. not as scary as it sounds. TO clarify I dont want the option for ALL interfaces. Just one. Trust me there is a rhyme to the reason. we have a backup T1 that inexplicably kicks in for no apparent reason and all BGP traffic suddenly routes across it instead of the 50MB fiber link it is protecting. I got tired of having…

Yes. Perfect. I hadnt checked out the more options yet. I only saw where you had to go into each node details and remove it there. And yes, I understand all the config details will disappear. I am no longer responsible for the configs, and the access to these devices is limited to the point that I no longer can access the…

Yeah, thats unfortunate and would be a great time saving addition to the tool.

Thanks supercool​! This works almost perfectly for us. How would I add the Vendor column? It looks like you are referencing the vendor, but when I add the SQL query and then go choose the tables, I only see Caption, IP, location, model, and Service Tag.

Showoff . So how'd ya do it? I have several items like the UPS battery status, which is expressed in values of 1, 2, or 3 and all I can do is to get it to chart.

Im afraid I dont quite follow you in the second half of step 5. Right now all nodes have a value of 1 in the Engine ID column. You say to change to the same value in the nodes table. Change the value(s) to what? can you be more specific?

That solves most situations except one. We have a fiber link with a backup T1 failover. if I set the alert for that particular interface to alert after x minutes of sustained traffic, wont that possibly extend the delay indefinitely if the circuit doesnt immediate saturate and stay pegged out? If it drops below the…

I considered that as well and already have that for several other things like temperature, battery status, etc. The problem I found is that it takes a while for the polling to pick up the change. I was hoping for a more instantaneous alert. Worst case scenario: Power drops immediately after a poll, so it will take another…

That did it! Thanks for the heads-up.

Solved. I forgot how my UTM works. I forgot to setup DNAT rules.

1: verified. 2: verified 3: no other firewalls 4: Unfortunately I have no control over item 4. This is at a remote data center that we are a customer of... its not our facility. 5: I do wireshark at the edge of my WAN, and I see the inbound connection of the agent. I'll get in touch with my firewall sales engineer and make…

Thanks for the assist guys. I was able to copy the report, generate a new search data source, and tweak the appropriate colums and I have a report.

Problem fixed with SP1.

I am curious about that as well...
