  • I love it Rob! In place on both coasts now... the snmp status polling is working out GREAT!
  • I must be missing something or you must have a much larger db than mine (I have 68 interfaces w/ netflow data. I can run the query on top 50 and it's faily quick from report writer or from Orion web reports. My guess is you must have hundreds or thousands of interfaces with netflow data or somethings different with…
  • That's the rub but if you think about it Orion has to find the information somehow to know what devices are neighbors to each other. It's getting better and can find the data more ways than one but it needs something to go on. I have the same issues with some of these protocols being turned off for security reasons and…
  • Awesome news ">aLTeReGo !!! Multiple things in there are big for me: * Monitor Windows Mount Points as Regular Volumes * Windows Volume Performance Metrics Added to Volume Details View * Hardware Health Monitoring of Dell M1000e, HP C3000 & C7000 Blade Chassis
  • The interface in unknown because it's unreachable since a link or device between it and NPM is down. The reason it's marked unknown and not down ie. red is because it may still be up... NPM just doesn't know because it's behind something else that is down. One thing that you can do is make the status of something in…
  • My question is why does this matter for regular up/down status polling??? If you're trying to troubleshoot MTU sizes through the network network or think a router is dropping packets because they are too big you could use a tool directed at this kind of testing like priviledged ping from a cisco router... or a ping sweep…
  • I believe it's the average over the period you including so if it was for 7 days the average would be the average of the value polled for over that period.
  • I've done something similar on my NPM. The tough part for me was the business hours part... here's how i did it: Select fields Node Name, Machine Type, Average CPU Load (descending) function avg., Peak CPU load (descending) function max. Filter Results where all of the following: Time of Day (24 hour format) is greater…
  • When it comes right down to it what you are really trying to do is to add the nodes that were on one system to your main system you are going to keep. You could export the list of nodes and then just past the list of nodes into discovery and let your main system discover them. This means some pain because you'll have to…
  • Nobody? If you select the save historical data isn't it supposed to keep saving the data? I only seem to see a few hours of data and after that nothing... it's like it just drops off the face of the earth somehow. I'm guessing this is some bug or something maybe?
  • After talking with support I'm backing up my normalized event logs daily to a CIFS share. If I need to go back to any time I was recommended to not mess with my production database and spin up a new 30 day trial VM and then load the old back into it if it's needed to do nDepth searches on.
  • Perhaps you should ask in the SDK forum: tdanner is the man when it comes to this :^}
  • When you create a new report select new advanced sql report. It will have different tabs you can past into. It looks like this: Hopefully this gets you going in the right direction
  • neomatrix1217​ is correct. Each volume consumes one "element" from your license.

  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support of industry standard MADMAN MIB allows an entire Exchange enterprise to be monitored remotely I think this could give you some vision into what's going on with OWA http://www.icir.org/fenner/mibs/extracted/MTA-MIB-madman-01.txt http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6044-10/mib.htm
  • Not sure but this might help with newer versions of the F5 on a node details page:
  • Geesh this is crazy! It's not easy to get over 200.
  • One thing to check is the status of your poller on your NPM box. From web under admin look under details -> polling engines and make sure your poller isn't overburdened. This is one thing that could cause a problem like this. Also look at the overall health of the server and OS that NPM is running on in the first place.
  • They dang done it me too angus o.O! I'm just kidding... ours all say that when there's no activity or messages etc. You are right that at some point a while back our name was up there but it hasn't been that way for quite a while I think... not sure when that changed exactly but maybe you didn't notice before. :^}
  • If you are just triggering on temp over 40 why is there a second part to the Trigger?
  • I love the new upgraded customer portal... so much new has been added in past couple years! Training is in there now... I can see all the updates and patches and licenses. All our cases. It's very much improved.
  • Also not sure if you saw this or not lchance but it helps if you want netflow data from your ASA's: http://support.solarwinds.com/kbase/ProblemDetail.cfm?ID=1264
  • Same as Leon and ">bsciencefiction.tv... Thwack says I signed up in 2009 but it's actually be longer than that... I started using Solarwinds Engineering toolset in late 90's maybe 1996? I've been around since the beginning. I like the improvements to the customer portal... logging in with real ID's now... not my customer…
  • Wow that looks pretty cool!
  • I'm actually still on 11.0.1 NPM for this reason. I think I could be ok now that most of the bugs have been worked out. My fear since we depend on so many alerts that many wouldn't tranfer over to the web and all work correctly. I believe since it's been couple point releases now I'm probably ok... maybe? But you can…
  • Actually having the MS SQL server run correctly is important but... you don't really need to be a SQLrockstar (that was intended btw) to support Orion effectively. You should learn how to backup the database. Since currently (until the linux SAM agent goes release) everything runs on Windows I'd say understanding how MS…
  • I'm not sure but kinda doubt it's built into the main NPM mib file but you could use UnDP to monitor anything as Infinera supports snmp. http://www.snmplink.org/cgi-bin/nd/m/Ent/I/Infinera%20Corporation/Infinera%20SNMP%20Fault%20Integration%20Server%20%28FIS%29/…
  • As the link explains NPM also does a fast polling when it marks the node as suspect warning... it'll try much faster than every 120 seconds and tries every 10 seconds for two minutes to see if it's really down or not... then will finally mark it as down. Now this is with ICMP unless you selected snmp polling under the…
  • Basically what you need to do to move from DEV to PROD is just to get real licenses for the products. You can license the modules offline using the license tool. You do this between Orion and the Customer Portal where your licenses will stored. Each license is node locked to the host it's on so there's a little back and…
  • Sounds interesting Seth... I'm still not 100% sure how this is going to work but sounds interesting.
