 After getting in touch with Support ( Caroline ) and some discussions we were able to get everything up and running again. I had to remove the installation using the control panel I had to run a special SQL query given to me by support to clean my custom made tables ( all information was still available ) to make…

 There was no issue, bu I noticed in the error that the client tried to communicate on port 17777, that's why I changed IS to listen on port 17777 instead of 80. But this has been restored now 

Thank you, I'll open a support ticket for this one. How can I open all protocols ?

 Solved by the quick and correct response from Solarwinds support. I received the planned SP1 for NPM9.1 which solved my issue getting a list of hosts on my ESX VMWARE server. triple thumbs up for Solarwinds support

OK, thanks for the assistence. I now got a SL500 NPM engine running.

 I'm able to view the hosts with the free standalone tool. What am I doing wrong ?

 I also noticed that all my customized menu bars and views aren't working as well ( I receive the same error as posted above ). Concerning the support ticket, they proposed to reinstall the software, which isn't a solution at all but more a trial-and-error approach without any investigation at all ! 

 Guys, I have no clue by what you mean by monitoring all ports ? As you can see in the screenshot ( not showing everything ) the total amount of the top 5 applications is around 150MB, the othes can be ignored since they are only a few kB. It's just a drilldown of the TCP ports used compared to the total amount of TCP…

The name is created by the VMware system itself for backup purposes, we cannot change the naming convention and we cannot remove the host.... Making the tool pretty useless for us

 Y, but that's not explained int he documentation. Nevertheless, something happened which is worth mentioning. At 1st I still got the issue even when our DBA gave SA permission to the user ( I did close the setup and opened it again ). Then I just skipped the database part ( since it already existed on the SQL server ) and…

Sorry, but this would be a work-around in my opinion. Why do I need to download almost 200MB of data to change a serial key ? Not really userfriendly.

 

 Just read it in the manual ( RTFM ) But from a security point of view I'll be adding a weakness in our security framework. I can configure an ACL for this but does it only need to configure the device once or does the system needs to update the configuration on a regular basis ? 

Indeed, APM is able to monitor this ( via WMI ) but I haven't this module installed and there is also no business case available for an installation in the near future. I'm trying to get it working via SNMP, I've read that there are SNMP mibs available but I don't find anything on how to enable this on a MS cluster. I'll…

 The custom.config file was edited and the IP address of the server was already in the file

 I just discovered something new. I can only access the site with either guest or admin, all other accounts get the error Orion Website Error There was an error communicating with the Orion server. Additional Information There was no endpoint listening at net.tcp://peenetmon01:17777/orion/npm/businesslayer that could…

 Too bad, I was hoping it to be able to do end-to-end VOIP monitoring to make sure that the local network isn't a bottleneck or misconfigured. We have cisco routers installed on all our branch offices, so according to you I must be able to setup IPSLA on them in order to monitor the VOIP quality on the WAN link for example…

NPM 9.1 SP5.

 I run in to same problem EVERYTIME I do an upgrade/installation and find it annoying ! Please make a hotfix for this because I'm having a problem with an installtion now.

 I've checked everything and still I get a default view

It even gets weirder, now I get on most o the Pc's who try to access the site the following error There was an error communicating with the Orion server. Additional Information There was no endpoint listening at net.tcp://peenetmon01:17777/orion/npm/businesslayer that could accept the message. This is often caused by an…

Indeed, that's possible but... not all my devices of a specific type have the same functionality. LINUX server for example are using the SNMP device view but I need to distinguish the services they host ( like proxy servers or samba servers or.... ) Now I have several charts on these nodes that aren't useful at all and are…

Is there a way to create a view where all the VM servers are displayed with their running statistics like VMmemory used/VM cpu used ? Thus creating a quick overview off all VM servers and their running status

I mentioned that I have the memory and cpu information at hand, I only don't have the view "virtual machine details" information althouh I've selceted this in my customized esx server view

 D, 1. well actually it is, aren't we all a bit lazy ? It's just odd that's not there while it's available in all other views in Orion. 2. thanks 3. Added the view and it's exactely want I want, I just forgot to add the view ( my mistake ). 

Thank you for the explanation.

Unfortunately, it's not a router/switch, it's the wireless controller

We've decided to monitor our Vmware ESX servers with Nagios instead of NPM. I can give you some more information why this "server" is created. We use EsXpress virtual backup to create backups of our virtual servers. ( check www.esxpress.com ). This software creates a "dummy" server as a template or so which is the…

Colleagues, You can add 1 more user with the same issue ! I had to reinstall NPM on a new server and I receive the same error "No activity to report" after creating the views on my interfaces during business hours
