  • I was going to post a couple of URLs as examples of websites with CSS fluid, tableless designs when I noticed... http://solarwinds.net While it's not valid XHTML 1.0 transitional, it IS an example of a site that is completely ascent of ANY <table>, <tr>, or <td> tags in the HTML. 100% CSS formatted. Content separated from…
  •  Incidentally, when I try to filter the REPORT with "Node Name Starts With ${Site_ID}", it displays reports on the Node Details view properly, but I lose the ability to configure portions of the Report on the backend. The Field Formatting tab was blank, at first. I had to disable the filter, refresh the Field Formatting,…
  • > that's way out of the ballpark for commercial packages in this price range and quality. I disagree. Consider any number of open source "portal" website packages that permit for absolute customization. Where I feel Solarwinds falls short is in it's inflexible layouts, table-based design, that is reminiscent of web formats…
  •  Sure enough, it does! My end goal isn't to use an ALTNAME, but I didn't want to rename thousands of nodes to "test" if the colons, parenthesis were a problem. The single quotes answered that. Caption Like '$Site_ID*' is really what is working, but now I'm migrating the resource to a report, so I can add more columns to…
  • WORKS: Caption Like 'T303*' ALSO WORKS: Caption Like '${Site_ID}*' DOESN'T WORK: '${ALTNAME}' Like 'T303*' '${ALTNAME}' Like '${Site_ID}*' So, the question is...why isn't my CustomProperty of 'ATLNAME' being evaluated like Caption?
  • And, on that topic, the "Orion Website Settings" contains about 2% of the total items it SHOULD have. This is the ideal place where a customer should be able to edit any component of CSS stylesheet option, in a manner which is stored in variables, so individual CSS files do not need to be manually edited, and re-edited,…
  • If I manually specify the Site_ID in text, such as: '${ALTNAME}' Like 'T303*' That displays ALL nodes. According to the HELP: Only show devices beginning with "AX3-" Caption Like 'AX3-*' I would think my ALTNAME like 'T303*' would only show devices beginning with T303...no?
  •  I'd prefer the DOMAIN\User and (LOG OUT) remain in the footer, where the DOMAIN\User has been previously displayed. My menu bar is prime operational/functional real estate that I use for actually placing links to views, reports, etc. I do not want the DOMAIN\User (LOGOUT) cluttering up my bar. I've deleted the HTML column…
  • Incidentally, '${ALTNAME}' Like '${Site_ID}*' returns ALL monitored nodes.
  • I'm in the exact same boat. I used to have 5 different custom reports in my summary page. My load time was ~65 seconds. I've had to remove all those custom reports to enable my information to display in a timely fashion. With the latest service pack, it now displays all other resources while the custom reports are loading,…
  • None of the following work... ACTUAL VARIABLES: ALTNAME SITE_ID ------------------------ ----------------------- T303 AP01 T303 T303 Ripon CA T303 T303 SW01 T303 FILTERS: '${Site_ID}' Like '${ALTNAME}' '${Site_ID}' Like '${ALTNAME}*' '${Site_ID}*' Like '${ALTNAME}' '${ALTNAME}' Like '${Site_ID}' '${ALTNAME}*' Like…
  • With the additional graphs posted in this thread, I still contend the 8.5.1 graphs were much easier to read and interpret. I attribute this opinion to the "blurred" graphics used to display the lines/bars, as well as the LACK of X-axis and Y-axis tick marks on Time and Value. When the X-axis reads, "9:00 AM", at what point…
  • This is the default Alert Trigger within Solarwind's Basic "IOS Version Change" alert: Alert: IOS Version for ${NodeName} has changed from ${IOSVersion-Previous} to ${IOSVersion} Note the "-Previous" modifier. If you throw that trigger text into an Advanced Alert, the "${IOSVersion-Previous}" contains no value. Basic…
  • Yup, this is adding to my gray hairs now... Bad Filter Specified: '${ALTNAME}' Like ${Site_ID} Invalid column name 'T303'.
  • What seems to be the source of my painful slowness is in custom reports. I used reports on almost every view. My summary page has 6-10 different reports. Each "report resource" adds a minimum of 5 seconds of load time. A summary page with 6 custom report resources takes roughly 5-10 seconds for all other resources, which…
  • I put single quotes around ${ALTNAME}, and now it's erroring on my paranthesis in ${Caption}, even though that's not part of my filter: Bad Filter Specified: '${ALTNAME}' Like ${Site_ID} Incorrect syntax near ')'. Actual ALTNAME is "T303 Ripon CA (ANIRA)". Even with single quotes around the variable its shitting the bed.…
  • We have just noticed this... Of the EasyVPN clients whom a server reboot "fixed", as those hardware VPN appliances reboot or lose Internet connectivity and go down, as they come back up, NPM can no longer SNMP manage their interfaces. This is becoming a significant issue for us. We now have 5 devices whom went down in the…
  • I've been having problems SNMP monitoring PIX 501s and 3002 Concentrators with NPM since VPN peering them to Cisco ASA 5520s. Prior, our remote VPN hardware was peered to Cisco 3005 Concentrators. We are retiring that hardware and swung those EasyVPN Connections to Cisco's ASA 5520 Firewalls. Since doing so, we have…
  • Ah, never mind. I see what you're saying now. The NAME of the resource is actually linked to the detach URL now. Got it. 
  • I just don't see me being able to move away from Basic alerts any time soon.
  • Wow. I never noticed detach was missing. I only have "Help" and "Edit" as links in my resources. There is no "Detach" link. 
  • Took out all "special characters" from my ALTNAME. Names now only include text and spaces. Bad Filter Specified: ${ALTNAME} Like ${Site_ID} Incorrect syntax near 'Ripon'. Bad Filter Specified: ${ALTNAME} Like ${Site_ID} Incorrect syntax near 'Brooklyn'. Actual ALTNAMES for all test nodes below: T550 AP01 T550 AP02 T550…
  •  The never-ending filter headache... I renamed my nodes and removed the colon, now it doesn't appear to be liking my HYPHENS! Actually, I created a CustomProperty called ALTNAME, where I removed the colon for testing, without needing to rename ALL my nodes. ALTNAME now contains "T550 - Brooklyn Park - MN (ANIRA)". I have…
  • Oh and after the node service is restored, the fields clear out so next time it pops up you will see it needs a ticket number and comments added! I had implemented a CustomProperty way back in the 7x NPM but eventually removed it because I couldn't figure out how to clear the "ticket/comments" fields after a node came back…
  •  ${Caption} Like ${Site_ID} And, a slight correction...my Node Name is actually > "T550 : Brooklyn Park - MN (ANIRA)". It looks like the colon in my Node Name is the root of all evil? --- Bad Filter Specified: ${Caption} Like ${Site_ID} Incorrect syntax near ':'.
  • --- I didn't want to sacrifice Windows Pass Through from the desktop so I setup a new webserver on port 81 of the same box and pointed it at the same directory. I just changed the Directory Security. Works fine. This solution should work on all Blackberry models. --- Curious. When I created an additional web site running…

  • sgtwright, Happy Birthday, a day early. Semper Fi.
  •  Even back to 7.x versions of Orion (and pre-2.x versions of Firefox), I have used Firefox exclusively with my Orion. I've never had any issues.
  • FYI - I MUST specify the server name within the login credentials. Just specifying the username results in a failure.
