Yes I have to agree those old Cisco 3000 VPN concentrators have been salvaged for years already now. :^} Now it's FWSM and massive multiple context ASA's!

This isn't a surprise :^}

They have to rewrite the core engine of NPM... which I'm guessing isn't a small undertaking. Much of the newer code is written much much better though and having everything SWIS RESTful JSON web is the bomb! We've got tdanner to thank for much of this better coding and active development and sharing of his API! :^}

It make such resources as Entire network availability and others almost useless as well.

SNMP only status monitoring! SNMP only status monitoring!

That's a given... if you run a Cisco network (and more do than don't) you probably use EIGRP somewhere.

Mega Props for SNMP only node status addition Rob! This is going to be HUGE for us and in addition will actually now make NPM be a more viable and now best option for recommending to others in high security level population to use for monitoring status behind firewalls. SNMP status monitoring is much more secure than icmp.…

Man Michal... snmp only status green nodes would be AWESOME! It's been years I know myself and many others have wanted a way to do this. It really doesn't even have to be pretty... just some way to make a node green without icmp. Many military and government customers are going to have this problem with isolated and…

I'm not sure what antivirus software you are using but if it's symantec here's a good article cisco show how to get symantec to send traps to MARS. This would work exactly the same to send traps to NPM.…

I'm a big fan of the migration to the web interface. Web based reports in NPM10.6 and SAM6.0 is great! This holistically allows more sysadmins to help manage my Orion servers without having to rdp directly to the machines. Mega props for these changes... How about a way for me to allow select nodes to show green without…

Will display the top 50 applications used this month including port number whether UDP or TCP and the total number of bytes traffic by specific application.

See this knowledge base article: support.solarwinds.com/.../ProblemDetail.cfm Title: How do I generate a monthly average utilization report for all devices on my network that only shows data for peak business hours (e.g. 8:00AM to 7:00PM). There also are some reports in the content exchange for business hours that can…

It's going to have to be something like: "c:\bin\treesize.exe" \\${NodeID}\${Caption} Caption is the User-assigned name for this volume which could be c$, d$, etc. or I suppose if nothing else worked you could use a custom property instead.

I have no idea ALTe but sound like a cool idea... I'll experiment a little with this as I love TreeSize Pro and WinDirStat...

I'm using this on current version with HF3... and it works.

I just knew patrick.hubbard​ would be all up in there in Germany! Leon too! That's a lot of cake! How many people were at this thing??? 300 Tshirts o.O! Ah I see it was Cisco Live.

I'd think of possibly starting with the base NPM/SAM combo with smallest license available and see if that covers most of what you need to monitor.

Maybe a quick and dirty way to get this is the following report from content exchange: At least as a starting point if you are not a DBA :}

Dumb question... what does EMEA mean?

Some of the partners are pretty good... Loop1 comes to mind.

I ran into this same problem when we also bought into RiverBed. Our solution was to send the flows to RiverBed and then have the RB appliances forward to Orion. SW should consider same options.

I would use something like plixer: Free NetFlow Forwarder or NetFlow Duplicator - Plixer.com Basically, it receives the UDP flow frames (NetFlow, IPFIX, sFlow, NetStream, jFlow, cflowd, etc.), changes the destination IP address while preserving the original source IP address and forwards the datagrams onto one or more…

Healthcare isn't easy these days.

Not yet but we are going with two SQL Server 2016SP1 for Orion and the flow database. I suppose we could try just one but I already have enough elements and APE's that I'm afraid all the flows are going to slow down the Orion database too much and made the UI performance worse than it already can be sometimes.

This new version of NTA is going back to using MS SQL Server after having us use this noSQL database for the past few versions. My big question is do we need two SQL Servers now or just one will suffice for Orion DB and the Flow DB? This is going to be pretty new for all of us.

Looks good to me! Palo Alto support has been a long time coming. We exclusively use Cisco ASA-X with firepower and Palo Alto f/w.

This is good I'm about to install a new Orion instance with SQL Server 2016 and SP1 slipstreamed in.

I export flows from my vswitches to NTA today. The hardest part is setting it up right in EXSi.

sorry for the duplicate post... thwack was fracked!^#^&$@^%@!$%@ Note: I deleted duplicate posts on 3/23~ Marie Note: Thanks Marie :}
