Are you using the Config Listing module that is available in Cirrus additional components area of the support website?

Not currently. Do you have NPM? If so, you can use the NCM integration module in the Orion NPM website which does provides for per user views.

Thanks for posting the clarification. I've added this request to our tracking system.

Currently, it is not possible ipMonitor to send encrypted email alerts over SSL/TLS. We have this on the list for the next release. However, you can use the External Process alert action to leverage a script to perform this action.

Hi Leonard, thanks for your post. If you could post more details regarding the before and after of your configurations, we maybe be able to troubleshoot further here. However, I would also suggest opening a support ticket on this one so we can get this to dev for reproduction in-house.

This is an interesting use-case. I've captured this as an enhancement request for NCM. In the meantime, if you have Orion NPM, it should be possible to do this using NPM's Universal Device Poller (UnDP) to poll the last usage time of a port and then run a historical report (over the last 30 days) on this data.

Typically, we see this when the monitor is just starting up because it requires two polls to calculate CPU utilization. We have seen this happen due to mathematical anomolies when the counter rolls over. If this is causing issues in your environment, please open a support case so we can track/prioritize this appropriately.

wybren, please contact me directly (chris.lapoint@solarwinds.com). I'd like to get you into the Cirrus v5 beta, which provides for better and more supported Orion-Cirrus integration for viewing configs from Orion.

Christian, thanks for posting your solution!

Please see the following discussion for hints: 

Great idea! Policy reporting enhancements are going to be a key theme after we wrap up the current release we're working on. For internal folks, this is already being tracked as #4170

You'll need to open this file: <install dir>:\Inetpub\SolarWindsNCM\web.config Search for "timeout" and change the value to your desired value: <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name="authTicket" loginUrl="Default.aspx" timeout="15" defaultUrl="ViewLayout.aspx"> </forms> </authentication> You may need to restart the IIS…

There isn't currently a way to filter access to nodes in Cirrus per user account, but we definitely have this on our roadmap. Just curious, what is the business driver for this need in your environment?

One option is to create an Execute Script job, which will save all your selection criteria filters. When you need to run a script again on the target devices, you can simply just paste in the appropriate script and run the job immediately. FYI, another added benefit of running the script through a job is that it executes…

It is possible, but you'd need to use the External Process Monitor and configure a vbscript to query that stat via WMI. Here's a link to how you can do this: support.ipmonitor.com/.../04c902674f264548a3a9c54d74f689b4.aspx

I believe the icon to vendor mapping is based on our SysobjectID DB. Please open a support ticket and we can look at updating this in a future release.

Are you evaluating NCM or are you an existing customer? If you're an existing customer, I'd recommend submitting a ticket to support? I don't think this is something we're going to be able to easily troubleshoot on Thwack.

Can you enable Session Tracing (File > Settings > Session Tracing) and then post the trace file output? It's not clear from the log whether you received the prompt for password or not.

Have you reviewed the "customizing device templates" section of the Orion NCM admin guide: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/orionNCM/ncmDoc.aspx

Yes, but a trust must be established between the domain you are connecting to and the domain where the ipMonitor server resides. Otherwise, the ipMonitor service will not have rights to impersonate a user in the target domain for WMI access. The alternative is to follow the instructions here:…

Currently, we store only the lowest port in a conversation and assign the other random high for performance reasons. We are looking at how we can adjust our algorithm and store both ports for all conversations while still maintaining performance so stay tuned. For internal folks, we're tracking this as #3106.

To help us prioritize, can you elaborate a little more on the use-case for this requirement? What data points are you hoping visualize in the graph? For internal folks, this is being tracked as #3032

This would be something you'd have to create. However, there is a library of rules you can choose from to help you build your policies and reports. More out of the box Policy Reports is on our roadmap.

Reporting, maintenance schedules, and alerting schedules will be impacted. In my conversations with dev, they recommended stopping the service while changing the time zone and then starting it afterwards to avoid issues with schedules.

If you're asking if the NCM integrate module can be installed on an NPM Web-only Server, the answer is yes. This was something we explicitly tested as part of our 5.0 efforts. One thing to remember is that NCM 5.0 is really 2 things: 1) NCM server (this includes desktop application, website, and information service) 2) NCM…

Hi Term, We are committed to continuing to enhance ipMonitor and its capabilities as a basic up/down monitoring solution. Development on highly requested enhancements is in progress and you should be seeing requests for beta participation in the near future. In the meantime, we hope you'll take advantage of generous…

Thanks for the post and we can definitely consider this for a future release. Can you point me to some network specific IT rules that might apply to IAVA? Is there a document you've already created that we can leverage for this purpose?

Got it, thanks! For internal folks, this is being tracked as #3429

Thanks for your request. I've added this to our requirement tracking DB. Would anyone else find this feature valuable to their organization? Is this a must have for compliance purposes for you? 

Unfortunately, this isn't possible in v9. We plan on adding the ability to leverage device attributes in alert tokens in the next version.
