The application monitors are under Admin -> Settings -> SAM Settings Then in Manage Application Monitor Templates you'll find all of the exchange templates you can apply to your exchange nodes. Depending on the version and what you want apply some of these to your exchange nodes and let them collect some data. Now you'll…

I agree with deverts... and on top of that we have enough forums as it is to try and stay on top of. Also I think a lot more environments the tools are used on are bigger than you think. Also as far as the SW isn't just for mom and pop shops anymore... TELL THAT TO EOC ctmidnight!

For me I just point my webrowser at the NPM server by name and it the login dialog comes right up! Your homepage URL should look something like this: https://yourNPMServernameorIPhere/Orion/SummaryView.aspx?ViewID=1 It's possible it's not https that depends on how you set it up.

Outside... what's that? Great post by the way...

See! You've come to the right place! I used to live in columbus while going to school too... go OSU!

I have to agree with cahunt here... I think what you are trying to say is you like SAM's warning and critical and wish the alert configuration had two levels of alert in the same alert config. To me status rollup is when if a node in the node tree is down the indicator will roll-up to the top level and show yellow to…

This makes me think my current Pi2's usb nic is better than the onboard wifi in the Pi3 for sure. I may get another 802.11ac dongle for my new Pi3 after all since I like smooth hi def video. That's a good article you linked. This is my Pi2 dongle which works without needing to add any drivers and I've never had any…

yes, you can filter based on any of the event types on anything you see in the event log which includes node removed events. Here's mine that I just tested after removing a couple nodes: Give it a shot... working great for me. I think this should work for you also. Also you can use the fields event name instead of Event…

Glad to hear your working valdemirs. This is actually really good to know especially since a few of us could reproduce the problem... I can see how any number of people could run into this same problem.

So I assume this is causing the pings from NPM to your nodes to show high ms response times for all your nodes response times graphs also then. Also when you ping then NPM server from your client machine with an -t option do the ping times rise high sporadically also?... I would pretty much assume they would. It definitely…

The NPMv10 RC3 is about as production ready as it's going to get. I understand companies being afraid of Release Candidates after some of the things that have happened with Microsoft. I'd look at the NPMv10RC3 and W2k8R2 if you require it.

It could be because it's only a peak for a short time above 90% and the report is showing those interfaces that peak above 90%... sometimes I run a report and include columns for avg. and max and show it summarized by the hour over the course of a day... but ur right if it really looks like it's not matching up you could…

Actually the way you are interpreting the list may not be correct... some variables only apply to certain things. Node variables for nodes, interface variables for interfaces, volume variables for volumes. You won't be able to use a variable in an area that doesn't fit it's context.

In the resource seems to make the most sense I think. The query is really just about the raw data I suppose. And oooooooh custom query defined popups! Wow that sounds like a neat feature wluther! And props to tdanner​ for the git repository. It's really helping me get a feel for what goes on underneath everything. I see…

So in your list of traps in Trap Viewer under current traps under IP address you see the IP but also under Hostname you still see the IP? The trap viewer is supposed to a reverse dns lookup then to write to the db. Maybe try unchecking remove domain name from reverse dns lookups under Trap Server settings under the Trap…

u2 FOC what's the group alert variable problem? I just asked byron the same thing above. I have alerts based on groups too. I will say I'm glad to see that rob has info on a real release with lot of the issues resolved! I'm more gun shy than some of you I guess???

Can't you just put a loopback address on the router and add the device to NPM to be monitored from the looback ip. You then want to export netflow data from the loopback address also. You need to have config with some lines like these: ip flow-export source Loopback0 ip flow-export version 9 ip flow-export destination <put…

I know it kinda a bummer but you're right!

Yeah not using AD would just be a nightmare to try and manage. Looking forward to AD aware discovery in SAM coming soon too! Thanks aLTeReGo​

My is the default that was loaded when NPM was installed. Is this what you mean?

Our vmware guy said it sounds like an open ssl library being used on vman 7 may be running a vulnerable version of the ssl library. The link I listed above is totally different but similar as it's another open ssl vulnerability. It sounds like Solarwinds needs to check the v7 open ssl library. This is a newer vulnerability…

Glad to hear things worked out I pay close attention to the 11 to 12 upgrades and any issues with the change. I'm also interested in SQL Server and windows server upgrades.

@Arun maybe refresh your browser or something because 10.6 has been in there for a while now and you should see it if you're under support.

Congrats on finding the offender!!! I'm not a SCOM expert but first if they say they changed the comm string already I would try restarting snmp, trap daemon, or even rebooting the server if its Windows. Also...…

I used to keep trying until I got it to stick but when that fails it's really easier to just run queries like this: SELECT TOP 1000 * FROM [dbo].[EventTypes] UPDATE eventtypes SET Record=0 where Name='Volume Remapped' UPDATE eventtypes SET Mute=0 where Name='Volume Remapped' This helped the flood all day long of every…

You can get pretty close with the variables that are available... don't think you can get the vendor icons though just text...

I often use NODE aggregate chart.

Here's a really good article on SAN vs. DAS esp. with SQL databases: http://www.sqlteam.com/article/which-is-faster-san-or-directly-attached-storage It goes in detail on how to test ur own setup w/SQL or how to use IOMeter to do it in a way that simulates SQL server transactions.

We use splunk... it's not a much roll your own as it used to be if you buy all the extra stuff with it. I do then forward the data to Orion from splunk so important stuff can be alerted on though.

Glad to hear you got it worked out :}
