I keep forgetting to reply, but to Chandru: I have quite a few sites with VSAT backup, and the mechanism I alert me when the site fails over to backup is what I use to trigger a set command that makes the nodes = 0. From a topology perspective my VSAT router is 1 or 0 just as my primary router is, so here if I'm using an…

When you say 0 and 1 you're refering to the true and false type right? I suggest you run the test and copy from the output of the test log the command that is said to have been created in the execution of the alert proccess. Then throw it into command prompt and see if it runs properly. Is that something you've already…

I don't want to extend APM right now. I just want Orion to work. I uninstalled APM and Orion. Reinstalled Orion and I'm still getting this error: APM Service Not Available The Web Console is unable to communicate with the APM Service Engine.

The first one will not work in command prompt because your variables aren't replaced with the information you are wanting to use. When you use '${SuppressGroup}%' in the command that's what it will be. If you run the same command from the Alert engine in Orion '${SuppressGroup}%' will get replaced with whatever that value…

That's what I'm saying. I have removed APM, but I'm getting an error about it being gone now. With APM installed I had upgraded to Orion 9.5. After the upgrade I was seeing the following error when I would go to view a node: Your specfic error is: Invalid object name 'NPM_NV_WL_CONTROLLERS_V'. Today I was getting an error…

This is the command syntax that works for me: (Alert Trigger) C:\SQLCMD\sqlcmd.exe -S SERVERNAME -U SQLUSER -P SQLPASS -d DATABASE -Q "UPDATE Nodes SET Suppress = 1 WHERE ((Nodes.SummaryGroup LIKE '${SummaryGroup}%') AND (Nodes.SuppressNum > '${SuppressNum}') AND (Nodes.Suppress = 0))" That's the syntax that works for me…

Uploaded to content exchange. My setup is very much like what you are describing. Check out the example in my upload. For failover it can be a little tricky. I'm still testing some things. What I think you would do is relate the 2 routers in an alert such that a triggered event will change all the nodes back to 0 iff NodeA…

I found it, thanks. It was burried in my inbox.

Well I was considering purchasing APM, but say I don't... my evaluation is no longer valid. Orion is broke. I don't want to reinstall APM just to get Orion to work if I don't end up purchasing APM. I want Orion to work without anything to do with APM at this point in time.

Thanks a lot man. I went with your second suggestion there and it works perfectly. I was making it really difficult.

Some of this is redundant, but for completeness sake I'm just going to post everything. I created 3 columns: Suppress [True/False], SuppressNum [Text], SummaryGroup [Text] SuppressNum represents the position the node sits in the topology from a given starting point. SummaryGroup represents the network space a similar group…

I've come up with an algorithm that works really well. I created 3 new columns: 'Suppress', 'SummaryGroup', and 'SuppressNum'. Suppress is just a yes no field that is updated by a alert that runs the command: C:\SQLCMD\sqlcmd.exe -S server -U Oriontest -P Test1 -d Orion -Q "UPDATE Nodes SET Suppress = '1' WHERE…

All links to node details are still screwed up. Ever since the upgrade, when clicking on an object that would show you the "node details" of the node, I have gotten the error I listed a few posts ago, but today I was getting a new error. It was saying something about APM evaluation expired. APM is only monitoring our…

Thanks. Finally got it working. Got rid of psexec, and now have the permissions correct. sqlcmd.exe -S SERVERNAME -U DBUSER -P DBPW -d Orion -Q "UPDATE Nodes SET Suppress = '0' WHERE MeterPoint = '${MeterPoint}';"

That's the command in the batch file. apagent is the external application. It forwards the individual values I want to extract out of Orion to a scripting application in which I've written a script to construct an email with the variables I send over. What I write in the batch file is what show's up in the email though.…

I have the solution, and it all goes back to what I mentioned previously. A variation of the same anyway. Just updated and cleaner. Anyway, I have 800+ devices and many groups and tiers to my current network topology. My solution works from the very top level in the topology to the very end leafnodes. Overhead is minimal,…

Happy to report everything seems to be working well. All of my questions have been answered, and I'm happy with the upgrade.

The links were produced from Orion several versions back. They've been working up until this 9.5 upgrade.

Opened a case 167705

I'm trying to make an alert action execute a query that will change the suppression value for related nodes. So say an upstream node goes down, it will execute a sql update that will make all nodes downstream (related by a specific value) suppressed by making the "suppress" value true (1). The alert action is a command:…

Another update for anyone who is interested. Added the ability to use mobile views globally, but I don't think all views use mobile views just yet, so this feature isn't necessarily ready for prime time. I also made it so that you can choose which button becomes your phone shortcut to push to call buttons.

My error, I just noticed how old the original post was. To answer the most recent post... you should be able to open the report file in notepad and change the time interval in the WHERE clause in the SQL Query

Weird. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm making Orion execute a batch file that reads: apclient --map-data Orion dhardy "${Status}" "${Caption}" "${IAF}" "${IP_Address}" "${TYPE}" "${Coop}" "${Address}" "${Caption} is ${Status}" but I'm not getting the results I'm looking for. I just get returned the same information…

Agreed. Let me just clear up what I'm trying to say. ip route-cache flow = ip flow ingress the ip route-cache flow command is actually just remapped to the ip flow ingress command... only you cant use ip route-cache flow on the subinterfaces, but you can just use ip flow ingress to choose which subinterfaces you want. I…

Well in retrospect I realize I should have supplied you with all this information upfront, so as not to waste your time - my apologies. However, fortunately, a simple deletion and re-addition of the interface has resolved the issue. I wouldn't begin to claim to know, but it looked like a summarization issue. Thanks for the…

I went through the a similar thought process. But from what I can tell, I'd have to make a seperate alert for each group of nodes wouldn't I? I'd say the number of these sets of nodes is greater than 40, and each group is unique. 40 x 2 rather. I can see how I'd be able to supress if I was able to pull specific information…

Oh I see. No problem man. I had been looking for the product that covers the whole UDP thing, and since I couldn't find it that's what I figured. Everything with else on 9.1 SP1 is working brilliantly for me so far. Thanks, Daniel

By the way. Since Orion URLs are formated as domain/Orion/something.asxp/../... When defining the URL of the buttons you sould for example supply: SummaryView.aspx?viewid=51 Just whatever comes after the /Orion/ in your URLs goes there. The app will do the rest. If you select "External" you are telling the app to ignore…

Create a scheduled job to print the report as often as you like, but make the printing process save the .pdf with the current date. Create a scheduled task to run as frequently as you like that will copy the files to a directory in the Orion website. Then you can make them available on the website. It won't be the same as…

I honestly haven't considered any ways to optimize this since I wasn't trying to do this on many different views. The process itself is slightly cumbersome and definitely feels far too complicated than it should be - but this is what I did. An IFrame is essentially a way to insert an HTLM element independent of the main…
