BUMP. Not much choice in what to monitor for us - I already have monitors for http. We should be able to create custom QOE apps - like, Syslog, or other applications.

Alterego - thanks for that - but we typically do not work direclty on the server, so using Report Writer isnt the best option. My opinion is that if I can run a report from the web interface, I should be able to export it there - not having to remote to a server to run the report writer tool.

please please please make sure you guys have feature comparisons between Orion Maps and Network Atlas BEFORE you shelf Network Atlas. There are currently ALOT of features missing in the current release of Orion Maps. 

This should be STANDARD. Every engineer knows TELNET is insecure, and should be disabling it as part of the default initial configuration. PLEASE make this a priority - or at least give us the ability to ENABLE it.

agreed. Many times, nodes are flagged as unidentified. I would love to be able to right click - RESCAN THS NODE or something like that.

Im all in.

agree with Michael Fusco 100%. I will add this one, as I am very disappointed and frustrate I CANNOT do this. Allow us a way to 1) Modify ANY node on the map to change polling method - I don't care if it its ICMP, WMI or SNMP - I want the ability to change it, and re-poll that SINGLE DEVICE. 2) Create/ADD a SINGLE node -…

This is a promising upgrade from previous verisons, but I think you can go further. In evaluating the tool, we still have limited ability to completly manage DHCP from IPAM - i.e. - creating scopes with additonal options for things like TFTP server, or PXE Boot files, etc. VERY close.. please keep up the development.

by adding a grid, it will make it easer to distribute shapes in either direction. In some cases, I might have some (necessary) white space, making distributing things along that axis just a tad more difficult. just seems we should be able to do a grid with a 90% transparent so its just barley visible, (at least, in mind…

Jiri - Keep it up - looks good. I like the jobs being in the web interface now, and the Grouping options look good too. is there ANY way to customize any part of the email results of the jobs created in the Job Management screen? specificly, I have a request to change the FONT to a sans-serif type/style font. I am not…

* Make sure that you include routines to clean up after yourselfs. In the past, you left crap in the DB - (think of SAM before it was a standalone product - I STILL have APM tables in my NPM database!). * Make sure to perform a backup - even if you tell the end-user to do it - YOU NEED to do it anyway. * Make sure you put…

if you guys are serious about having a mapping product, you need to take a VERY close look at your competition. Netbrain and Intermapper are 2 i have seen/used that blow this tool away. BUT - I will add - they are also 2-3 times the cost, but at least you can get an idea of what SHOULD be in a topology tool.

Looking forward to these updates.

thanks, but that isnt working in the email alert. im getting around it with this cludgy query - ${N=SWQL;M=SELECT aps.ComponentStatisticData as [Days to Expire], a.status from orion.apm.application a join orion.nodes n on n.nodeid=a.nodeid join Orion.APM.CurrentStatistics aps on aps.ApplicationID=a.ApplicationID where…

were you able to resolve this issue?

Yeah, so I am going to necro this post.. 2 years and I am still wondering if they ever figured this out.. anyone?

what version of Ubuntu? the 20.xx trains automatically enable the firewall (ufw), so you need to add udp2055 using "ufw allow 2055 to 172.172.202.20:2055" i beleive. you can also use netstat on the ubuntu box to verify your actually sending the data.

i would suggest that you export your SolarWinds inventory (create a generic report with just ALL nodes) to EXCEL and use EXCEL to compare. SolarWinds can not do what you ask natively. 

yeah, if your not going to provide more information, i wouldn't expect the community to help you. 

search this forum. someone posted a VERY good example a few days ago.

I haven't seen this from Orion, but - I built a small Linux host to replicate both syslog and Netflow. For syslog, you can use rsyslog or syslog-ng and redirect your output to multiple destinations. For netwflow - look for "samplicator". Its a very small, easy to use redirector for Netflow. This makes it so much easier to…

Get a new developer. direct DB access is not only a huge security risk, but as others point out, Solarwinds has a habit of changing table names during upgrades. 

 what are you having issue with? The log shows that the password used was incorrect for 10.180.0.28.

Your using SNMP right? you may have to use udp to poll the controller with snmp and pull the s/n. Try using snmpwalk on 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.2170

I agree - double check you don't have a ACL blocking the traffic. I have about 20 or so 9k's - all of mine are managed and fully discovered. also - for reference, here is a sanitized version of my snmp config. snmp-server location <location data> snmp-server user <username> network-admin auth md5 <encrypted> priv…

did you ever get anything resolved with this? We are in the process of deploying ACI, and while I have my spines, leaves and apic's in Orion NPM, i am not sure i am seeing what I should. Since we have not completed the deployment yet, I am hesitant to fire off a ticket - but did want to see what the community has done with…

CLI polling for ASA, Nexus, Palo and Cisco devices. We do not currently have "stored credentials" for these features - so EVERY node has to be edited by hand. 

browse almost any topic that has a link, and its busted. Almost ALL the links to content exchange items, any link to user/admin guides, etc.. here is one - thwack.solarwinds.com/.../DOC-168960

What ever happened to this request? since the change to the new forum, this link does not work properly.

Going to dust off the old subject - I have used the network discovery to add servers from our AD, but that does not help with the original post of adding them to a specific group. i am going to review the powershell option and see if I can make that work for us. With over 500+ servers, its someone painful to manage these…
