Yes, we're planning on updating this application to support proxy servers.

We're actually working on this now. See "notes in alerts" feature listed in our what we're working on post. If you're interested in participating in the RC, please send me or Brandon a private email.

The 9.0.5 download was available for me when I checked earlier. I installed it and discovered that it does some funky undocumented stuff with parking/retrieving the license. The installation went through okay (haven't noticed any performance improvements like webcontrol did) but now when I click 'About' it says we still…

Here's a document we created on how to configure Cisco ASA export NetFlow for NTA: http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/795/Configuring+Cisco+ASA+devices+for+use+with+Orion+NTA

Ok, I would open a support case on this one and someone can help walk you through this setup. Please include reference to this Thwack thread.

I'll contact you offline and we'll get one of our sales engineers to assist you directly.

Thanks Donald. We're already tracking this request. This was raised previously here:

No worries, score us some idiot points for not putting in the Admin area too ;-) Glad you're up and running.

1. "Just to clarify, you want to compare recently downloaded against the last 2 downloaded configs?" Yes you are right - the last 2 dowloaded startup or running or just simply the last 2 downloaded configs - no matter whether running or startup. Can you provide more details on the problem you're trying to solve? Perhaps…

Ok, that's what I figured. The good news is we are introducing a new version of Cirrus called Network Configuration Manager (NCM) v5 next week which provides new resources for Orion NPM Node Details View, including Node Configuration History, Recent Configurations, Last 10 Configuration Changes (with drill-down to config…

No worries. I was just guessing that you might have been on v4.0 because we made some performance enhancements in v4.0.1. There's no reason why your CPU should be spiking with only 2 users. Please go ahead and open a ticket with support. We're in bug fixing mode on the next release right now and if this is a bug, we'd…

Were these reports supposed to be generic like this? Yes, these are intended as example reports for folks to customize. Were they created off of these compliancy standards? Compliancy standards aren't prescriptive to this level of detail, but to the extent that they are based on best practices, yes. However, there's likely…

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The script was just an example of how to call WMI from a vbscript. As you noted, you would need to write your own vbscript that queried SQL via WMI for the number of blocking locks. Within the script you could set a threshold and return an appropriate up/down response to ipMonitor's…

Yes. In 5.1, you should be able to check the "remember my login settings" for AD auth and login to NCM without having to do this each time.

That would be more along the lines of a 6.x version. The major theme of our 5.x release is to extend the ability to perform config actions in the website.

We will continue to post direct links to SPs, but all minor and major versions upgrades are only available within the support portal for customers with current maintenance.

See the "Configuration Manager" key not "Configuration Management"

I've seen this happen if the browser was open to the NPM website during the upgrade or during a restart. I've found that if you clear the cache, all is well. Perhaps the browser cache had expired prior to Mon and now life is good ;-) 

WMI-based process monitoring is planned for our new Application Performance Monitor (APM) module. Please see the Application Monitoring forum for more details.

Bryan, I know there's a tech working your case. When you get resolution on this, please let the rest of the folks watching this thread know.

Will this Import synchronization job be able to synchronize changes to custom properties on nodes that already exist in the NCM database? In other words, if I change a custom property in the NPM database, will the change be passed to NCM the next time the job runs? Yes, this works. See this Orion Product Blog Post. NOTE:…

Ok, you'll need to reset your Administrator password in NCM so that you can login to the NCM desktop application. To do this, you'll need to open Database Manager, select the ConfigMgmt database, and run the following query: update options set OptionValue = 'True' where OptionName = 'FirstTimeLogin' Then, when you open the…

There is definitely some misunderstanding. Both the NCM integration module and the NCM standalone website talk to the NCM server in the EXACT same way. They both use the SolarWinds Information Service (SWIS) on the NCM Server to broker information back from the database. The NCM integration module does do permission checks…

That is correct, but you'll need to add the following line to the beginning of your script if you want to enter into config mode: ${EnterConfigMode} 

Can you post the regex you are using for the exclusions? 

Good news here. We're working on enhanced IP groups as we speak. You'll be able to enter an IP address, IP address range, or a combination of IPs and IP address ranges (similar to how you can do the same for ports when defining applications). We've got some mockups and I'd like to have a brief call with you to walk through…

Nope. Those are coming from SNMP polling.

What version of NCM are you running? If it's the latest version, it should be set to "as of last update". This should get updated on each config download operation (scheduled or ad hoc). The key is you must download both the startup and running configs for each device in NCM.

Is SSH configured on the default port on your device? If not, you'll need to change the port in NCM.

If it takes 2 minutes for the FTP download to start, then yes, the script could be timing out. Are you running the script using a job or manually? Also, can you post the session trace of the execute script operation? Go to File > Settings > Session Tracing to enable. You'll find the session trace in your NCM install folder…
