  • andreasw​, This is known behavior. which is why you are able to toggle between Manage Entities and the older Node Management functions. To be honest, there is a lot more work to come to be able to really be able to use the Manage Entities option, like Nodes, Interface, Volumes, Groups, Apps, etc.. one place to Manage all…
    in NPM 12.2 Manage entities, deleting Interfaces is not possible Comment by derik.pfeffer May 2018
  • I am not sure either of those option with work for HA (WAN), is there a reason behind the Systems Team removing the SolarWinds permissions to change it's DNS record on Failover? option a - it could still send users to a bad IP based on lookup option b - I would enter a feature request as an option for WAN configurations…
    in Orion HA Comment by derik.pfeffer May 2018
  • All, We ran through the HA setup and found that is it fantastic. I thought for sure it was going to be a complicated and long process, however it wasn't long or difficult at all. I can not wait for this feature to become GA and roll this out to Clients. Best Regards, Derik Pfeffer Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and…

  • Andy, Is that device sending Syslog message about failed Login attempts? If, so you can use the Syslog Viewer to create an alert when trhreshold has been meet. Derik

  • meech​, As often as possible. I use it like a description field, so that when people look at the resource they understand if it is filtered, what it is, who is is for, etc..

    in How frequently do you add a subtitle when creating a resource? Comment by derik.pfeffer December 2017
  • taltom​, I would use NCM, first by downloading the Configurations and then using Policies to look for items added in my AAA block. You could also use Realtime Change Detection to do that for any change not just new local accounts. This leverages Syslog messages as a trigger to backup and compare the configuration to the…

  • Now that SEUM (WPM) v2.1 has been released, is there any progress or movement toward support ActiveX? This is still a real issue for my Clients when it comes to monitoring this level of Web enabled Applications. Please let us know if this is something that is being looked at or not, so Clients can make the right decision…

    in NPM interface reports down 10/100/1000 interfaces as 10Mbps. Is there a report for capability? Comment by derik.pfeffer May 2018
  • Trabix​, Unfortunately, once you provide Web Uploader rights, it gets all rights to config and script functionality. There is not currently a way to limit a User to just one Config Change Template. This would be great feature request if not already out there for NCM. There are similar requests for managing Nodes as well…

  • terryedwards519, You could use Volume Custom Properties, this way no matter which volume size the volume is, you could filter based on those you choose.

  • acmtix​, With GDPR, it is crucial of informing people about capturing, storing, and using their data. However, I wonder why Security would want to not know the MAC information if someone if connecting to your network, even if is a guest network. I would assume the acceptance information for the Client to join the network…

  • All, Take a look at the post Help with CPU Alerts and Sending Top 10 Processes using CPU , which Kris Maxwell explains that action out very well.

    in High CPU alert with list of top ten processes Comment by derik.pfeffer March 2016
  • tech2734​, Polling and Alerting go hand and hand.. It is all based on time. If you use the default polling interval of 2 minutes, you will get a single point in time response measurement. If the system can go down and return to a level that it responds to ICMP requests, then you might want to reduce the polling interval.…
    in Best way to alert on Down Nodes - slow to alert? Comment by derik.pfeffer February 2019
  • Hello Baronson, You can also apply a filter to any of the Top XX Resources or use the Custom Resources with the option you mentioned above. If you use the edit option within the resource and apply a SQL based filter it will give you the data you want to display. A good example of this is on the Response Time Top XX, I…
    in Monitor only nodes in a group Comment by derik.pfeffer July 2015
  • randomy​, It would really depend, as there are several tools you could use depending on the type of Nodes you are working with. There is functionality in Cisco (IPSLA) you could monitor using Voice and Network Quality Manager (VNQM). You could use Agents to run NetPath tests via NPM. You could execute scripts via SAM on a…

  • PM, I have been working with a Client all week and got everything they wanted completed except NPM support for their Wireless. They use Xirrus Wireless Arrays and Controllers and would like to have this added to the default group of support Wireless Vendors. Derik Pfeffer Loop1 Systems www.loop1systems.com

  • JohnnyFriendly, Yes, you can just select the "Customize Page" at the right top of the Orion Summary Home. Then on the next view, just adjust the name to what you want and select update. You will see the name change, then select submit at the bottom of the page to take you back out to the view. Best Regards, Derik Pfeffer…
    in Can I change heading "Orion Summary Home" to " Summary Home"? Comment by derik.pfeffer September 2014
  • All, I could see this being something for the reverse as well. If the receive traffic jumped by "x"% or "y"bps. This would help identify potential traffic and application issues due to massive changes in behavior. This would also need to include a window to ignore, because of traffic like backups, but that is already there…
    in Interface Traffic Alert: Compare previous poll to current Comment by derik.pfeffer November 2014
  • fshearer, Have you tried these UnDP's listed under Content Exchange? You could also try to use the MIB walk tool in the Orion Install path to see if you can find the correct OIDs to use in your UnDP. You would need to use the keep history option on the poller to then enable a Chart option on the view you want to display…

  • kange0010​, Are you forwarding any Syslogs from our devices to the Syslog Server? Syslog is a receive only component, so it listens for messages being generated by the configured devices within your infrastructure.

  • Mav, I didn't see support for Cisco ASA on the list of items being worked on for beyond v2.0. Is this something still on the list of items to add in as functionality. I am see this more and more in the field, where clients are using ASA for smaller remote locations as an all in one system. Derik

  • Skymeat, The square status box could represent anything related to child status. If you hover over the icon, does it provide you with text? If you select that node and in the Node Details section, there should be text to provide you more insight to the reason for the red box. Hope this helps... Derik

  • kange0010​, The top graph is specific to Netflow. So, unless your Netflow data includes traffic with the switches specific IP, this will always be an empty resource.

  • shadowmourne313​, The attached screen shot appears to be from the Orion Console. The Orion Console would have no impact on LEM.
