I believe the best way to embed VMan into Orion is to choose the widgets you want to see and then add them as Custom HTML resources. In VMan just copy the widget link (little down arrow in the top right > Copy Widget Link) using the second line of code, and then edit your Custom HTML resource in Orion and paste in the…

Pardon any ignorance, but is there a reason you're trying to add your ESX hosts directly rather than polling through the vCenter servers? In my VMan deployment, we monitor two datacenters/clusters and only authenticate and validate against the vCenter servers (2). For those two servers, the necessary credentials are a…

After originally replying here, I found an old thread from 2008 that gives the solution. The link is below in case anyone hits here first. * Add a custom property (Custom Property Editor) * Add a WHERE clause like the one from the link below (Orion Report Writer) * Save the report with a new name (just to keep the original…

I'm not aware of that capability, though it would definitely be useful since my vSphere Client event logs tend to rollover too quickly, it seems, when I'm looking for historical information. Shout out where you're looking, if I've just not seen that area of VMan. It would seem that this kind of event watching and…

After several NPM updates and the same persistent issue, I created a case with SW support (Case# 314269). The issue only appears with the resource on summary/dashboard pages, but not on Node Details. It also isn't related to any IIS file corruption as we repopulated that. It's been submitted as a bug as of 2/17/11. Just…

Unless you have a smart UPS from which Orion can poll watts or amperage, I don't think this is possible. For switches, though, if you're running Cisco you can enable EnergyWise and monitor that.

Hey Dustin, Can you give us a little more info? How many nodes are you polling? If a ton (like most of the responders), then check their advice and up your pollers (or reduce your nodes/ints). However, if you don't have all that many and you're still seeing this behavior, it would be helpful to know the types of devices.…

'Should have checked this first as it's a gimme issue, but the solution was browser security. IE9's settings even on Local Intranet somehow conflict with that particular view. That said, it would be nice if Orion trapped it and indicated what resource/element violated security rather than just bouncing me to the login…

Hey Mike, I could be remiss, but I'm pretty sure that there isn't a way to selectively import nodes and interfaces like you've described into NPM. The link below has a somewhat related situation for someone who wanted to add just one interface to an existing set of 1,100 routers, so you might be able to apply it. I do know…

For network devices, unless you are troubleshooting a very deep/detailed issue, I wouldn't recommend setting them to debug level. Info level seems to be a good setting in general, after which you can set it to debug if an issue arises. Granted, you won't be able to go back into debug data, but chances are you won't care…

100% agree! Been asking for it for a couple years now. For a frame of reference, Microsoft System Center Operations Manager does a better job with unmanaging like we want. 'Hopefully we can see this implemented in future versions...

Looks like we found a process of the VM that is swapping. We've yet to figure out what this specific MemClientID represents (there are roughly 75 MemClientID's per VM guest), but that seems to be what Hyper9 is alerting about. MemClientID : 10066 CurrentSwapInKB : 1107576 ToBeSwappedInKB : 1067564 SwapReadInKB : 679256…
