wholly agree

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a go

For what it is worth I have exactly the same problem, right down to the use of VbData10. Did you open a support call?

Can you ping the devices from the polling engine? Try listing resources on a node to check whether ICMP or SNMP is being used for status monitoring. If you set to SNMP does the node show as UP?

I have data in an external database which when used in a query will tell me how many devices are 'complient'. this number needs to go on a dashboard. Using SQL I can calculate the number and show it on a classic view but that's "not colourful enough". Modern dashboards don't support SQL. It didn't look like swql could…

Thanks so much for doing this

exactly the same Nodes.NodeID=${NodeID}

SSH version? deny rule before permit rule?

"If X engineers can build Y features, then delivering the same feature in two UIs counts as two features (more or less)" I understand this equation with respect to future developments but not with retaining existing functionality. Customers who are happy with one way of working don't like being forced to use another. This…

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for. It uses the event log so you will need to ensure that you are keeping it for long enough. SELECT Nodes.Caption AS NodeName, MAX(Events.EventTime) AS MAX_of_Event_Time FROM Nodes INNER JOIN (Events INNER JOIN EventTypes Events_EventTypes ON (Events.EventType =…

If you are monitoring both interfaces on Orion then setting the -u and -Q switches to either 0 or 8 should work with either -i 0 or -i 8 depending on which is the ingress port. I have had a problem with running nprobe as a service on 1 or 2 machines. Try running it from the console nprobe /c, this has the advantage of a…

In the initial "welcome" screen click on browse button next to "select OID" In the "select OID" screen type in your oid (1.3.6.1.4. ...) in the top box

Check your connection method, telnet/SSH

I guess that would be a NO then

try the interface index of either port, providing that port is being monitored by orion 

Thanks for your input on this. It was just pointed out to me that we had a service pack that we hadn't applied. Applied it, re-imported maps using the converter, and opened the Atlas to find the nodes listed in left hand column. Checked in web site and maps and navigation are working much better Thanks again

Open the NCM GUI Start - All Programs - Solarwinds Orion Network Configuration Manager - Orion Network Configuration Manager

From my experience a high Last Sync value means that there is a problem with your database and your poller(s) are not communicating with it so no new data is being stored

Have had a ticket open on this for a few days. It was ticket 241200 and we seem to have identified the problem as being related to the servers NIC driver. The server is a HP Blade server and the solution is in an HP advisory re negative ping times if this helps anybody else.

In case anyone looks at this in the future I followed the advise, restarted the NCM Polling Service and the problem went away

is there a list of variable that a) do work and b) should work and will work when the fix is applied?

Seeing this problem here as well Did anyone get a fix?

At the command prompt use nprobe /r to remove the existing service nprobe /c -h then provides full listing of all switches something like nprobe /i -i 1 -n 192.168.0.1:2055 -u 1 -Q 1 will re-install the service and send all the data from interface 1 to NTA (on 192.168.0.1 port 2055) all tagged as coming from interface…

re: component status is not equal to up normally "unknown" is not "up" so the alert will fire but I would expect the other processes to be "unreachable" based on the dependancies you described.

The polling order seems to be determined by the order the pollers are listed in the pollers table in the database. Note that there may be multiple pollers required to collect all the statistical information for a single device or interface. The Polls Per second Tuning setting controls how many of these polls are issued…

You don't get those screens on a silent / unattended install

On a similar note is it possible ti change the sample period independently of the time frame so that I could for example have a two hour tome frame updated in 5 minute intervals

Thanks for the responses. I have opened a ticket but it looks like I'm stuffed. I will have to go back to a 2003 server as the local security guys will not allow that (or virtually any other) setting to be disabled 

Something based on this should work select cast(message as varchar(200)) as EventMsg, COUNT(*) as Occurances from Events where eventtime >dateadd(hour,-24,getdate())AND Message like '%Interface%' group by cast(message as varchar(200)), EventType having count(*)>=2 set the "message like" and count threshold to meet your…
