Will there be support in 2008 for Nortel VoIP equipment or Meridian one PBX hardware with IP capabilities?

Hi Larry: I think many of us will be interested in your successes/issues. In our environment all data collection is centralize, so do not see any need for us to use distributed polling. However, our concern is a disaster recovery perspective--losing the building that have our SQL cluster and production Orion poller. G'luck…

 Have you tried forwarding the alert as a Syslog message, Trap, or email using Orion variables? What do you want to do that you can't do today? I appreciate your suggestion but it's too broad for me to figure out what a sufficient solution would look like. We too want to be able to create Remedy Incident tickets.…

Also, Let's say you have 100 routers and you want to alert only on a single serial interface that goes down and not any other interface in the router. In the current basic alerts, you can select what interfaces easily you want applied for each rule, in the advanced alerts, this would mean 100 rules for a single alert for a…

I find this thread interesting. I do not believe we have experienced quite the same issue. There are times when Cirrus is using over 50% of the CPU. Typically we stop and restart the application which resolves the immediate issue. We currently have Cirrus 3.5.1 DLX on a Windows 2000 server running Citrix; 4GB ram an one…

I have a similar request regarding the custom fields and multiple databases. Data synchronization and administration grows exponentially. I would prefer to see the custom fields in the node and interface tables to utilize a "Site" or "Business" set of databases and tables that are indexed for faster queries. Operationally…

Vendor: MRV Model: LX-4108T Description: Remote Site Manager (Console, inteleigent power, switch and modem) SysObjectID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.33.100.1.2.1.13 Notes: Currently Orion only identifies the ethernet ports. Want to manage the console ports and power ports (usage, turn on and off).

Policy Rules 1. Correct the hyper link for "More Information about RegEx Patterns..." I get a 404 error (missing page) 2. Update the help to show all of the the RegEx pattern options with examples * I would like to see an enhancement for creating rules. The present field in not large enough to show all of the pattern…

 Too bad this is not in the upcoming release. Our company could benefit from being able to group snippets.

 Thanks. That is what I thought, so we will have to figure out something else. Dale

Hi Haley: I believe they do meet that requirement, but was wondering if anyone else has experience with PLC or if we will be the first.

This helps, but we still need the ability to specify a TCP port. To clarify my understanding of your reply, the attached device(s) to the terminal server require unique IP addresses? Most of the Digi terminal servers in our environment have their terminal ports connected to non-IP equipment. Each port on the Digi terminal…

Hi Eric: Mark's suggestion is a good suggestion; that is part of what we have implemented, However, we are going to use the custom field as the true information and push those values out to the individual devices. The SNMP fields in Orion are always updated with each SNMP get that is issued. So the values will always be…

Many of the same requests as others, but here are some significant ones: * Topology discovery with Intelligent Alert suppression--Orion figure out that if a router or gateway interface is down--do not alert on the nodes downstream. * Chronological switch inventories--know capacity and what is plugged in where and when * A…

I do not have an answer, but I have a similar situation. After checking for ACL compliance of a particular ACL; I want to report on any additional ACL assignments not already defined by the Policy rules. I want to report on any added device ACL rules that are not part of the defined Cirrus ACL rules. I do not know about a…

The main functionality to address is improving the user interface for the Advanced Alerts. I made the decision for our organization to only use the Advanced alerts since we need to integrate with other systems. I do not like having to check to different lists of alerts, so I am glad to see the Basic Alerts being…

Vendor - Digi I will have to get the SysObjectID and models once I am back in the office. We have hundreds of Digi terminal servers. We need to manage thier configurations and what is happening on the respective serial/terminal ports of these devices.

* Option to run tools as services * Option to use SQLexpress (local or remote) for storing information * Better integration capabiliities with Orion and Cirrus * A CMDB lite tool--a database/user interface that maintains lookup information for use by the Toolset, Orion, Cirrus and LANsurveyor. Today we are adding many…

* Network service monitoring (e.g. FTP, HTTP, DNS, etc.) I hope this includes some robust NTP monitoring. Previously we were using Whatsup for NTP monitoring in our environment. Now that we are using Orion we have augmented NTP using cutstom scripts to create "events" and "alerts" to let us know if there is a problem with…

Cool! Can't wait to see this in the next version of Oiron with integrate LANsurveyor engine.
