Someone has to have seen this b4 :^} This is a see the forest for the trees kinda problem... or however that saying goes.

I mean look at this: Event Summary Event Type 10423 Volume Remapped Event Type 246 Volume Added Event Type 55 Volume Disappeared Event Type 55 Volume Reappeared Event Type 52 Node Rebooted Event Type 42 Node Down Event Type 42 Node Up Event Type 38 SAM Hardware Sensor Up Event Type 25 Node Changed Event Type 23 Polling…

I have use the report writer logic to make weekday business hours reports: I filter the results like this: Select Records where all of the following apply: Records where time of the day (24 hour format) is greater than or equal to 05:00 Records where time of the day (24 hour format) is less than or equal to 16:59 Records…

You want to look at the net-app mib here: http://www.oidview.com/mibs/789/NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB.html It's big but if you look through you may find the information you're trying to get at...

Note it's working now that you can click on and view any ASA config that's working fine. I want to create a report that will list all the ASA configs in our environment. I could really use some brief guidance on this. I'll try to see if I can figure it out today but I've had to two other guys doing most of the NCM stuff.

We successfully updated the second Orion server to NPM12.2 and associated modules. One thing I forgot from the first time and had happen again is when you change the server name for your primary poller... support has a script that you run which goes through the entire database and basically updates any references to old…

We're in the middle of this upgrade on a couple systems right now. We've gotten hung up on the upgrade of NPM and it's complaining about not being able to communicate with the NTA database. This morning it was working fine on the old versions so no changes to the host machines or anything happened but it won't work now.…

We're upgrading two Orion systems from NPM 11.5.3 all the way up to 12.2 and moving off Windows 2008R2 and SQL 2008 today which means... upgrade in place to 12.1 then move the database over to brand new VM's already running 12.1 then upgrade it to 12.2 with the new installer! Wish me luck friends!!! All of your help and…

I'm glad the new installer was back ported from 12.2 to 12.1 as I'm still doing upgrades on some systems from back as far as 11.5. Kinda wild thinking about how far things have come from 10.x now.

I'll have to watch this thread...

I wanted to let everyone know that RC2 fixed both my Dell Blade Center Problems and the Network Objects are now clickable in the alerts browser again! One thing I have noticed now is that some of my newer reports that run in the report writer are now showing no data when I try and run them from the website (they worked on…

This might be a good place to start: www.cpug.org/.../11776-snmp-traps-r70-1-following-manual-but-no-go.html CPUG is the best checkpoint related forum... I'm back in a Cisco ASA world again now but back in my CP days this was the place to go for help. :}

Also if you need help configuring the log level on your pix see: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa72/configuration/guide/monitor.html#wp1064726

Perhaps you need to configure your pix severity level for syslog. Here are some of the ones you are probably interested in: Notification Messages, Severity 5 The following messages appear at severity 5, notifications: • %PIX-5-109012: Authen Session End: user 'user', sid number, elapsed number seconds •%PIX-5-111002: Begin…

It seems to the worst inside groups or maybe even isolated to groups I'm investigating further now. I'm using chrome btw if that makes any difference. I'm go to see if it's the same in other browsers now but I'm guessing it won't be...

Sounds like the default on a ISA Server which is a firewall I'm sure it's probably blocking the icmp and snmp pings coming to it from NPM. You most likely need to configure a rule on the ISA Server to permit icmp and snmp from the NPM server to the ISA Server.

To begin with for sure unless you're a small network put your real SQL Server not express on it's own VM or box. Also if you're using NTA note that it now has it's own noSQL database as well (do not put the two databases on the same box or VM). NPM, SAM and whatever modules you are going to run will be on your main poller…

Wow Josh... I'm not currently even using IPAM but I read through your entire fiasco and geesh I really feel your pain!

I suggest reading some of Josh's guides here: http://www.solarwinds.com/geek/geekguides/ Here's a bunch of snmp books on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/SNMP-Management-Sidnie-M-Feit/dp/0070203598/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1249921750&sr=1-2 Good luck... the more you work with it... the easier it gets :}

Have you setup NPM in settings Virtualization polling settings already under node and group management? When you added the node to be polled did you use snmp and also check poll for virtualization? I use vmware but I think it's very similar for hyper-v.

So is this a new update to a module that's breaking everything? Two seemed to hint at NCM being part of the problem???

While solarwinds doesn't have built in event correlation per se here's a good article on the logic behind advanced alerts with some examples of the kind of thing you are looking to do: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/Orion/docs/UnderstandingOrionAdvancedAlerts.pdf The section in Case 2 applies the logic needed to solve:…

What we need is something like ${InterfaceIP} in: Interfaces Variable Description ${InterfaceID} Unique ID of the interface. Network Performance Monitor assigns a unique ID to every network object. ${InterfaceCaption} User-assigned name for this interface ${Index} Index of the interface within the network node.…

You might want to check into creation of the DirectLink account and give it access to what you need to see. Using the DirectLink Account Enabling a DirectLink account allows you to make direct hyperlinks to specific web console views available to individuals who do not already have Orion Web Console user accounts. Any URL…

My main system was doing this still... I had long thought it was credentials problem but seems strange this is still a problem. I'm making the change to default now. Seems like this would be a good change to make to all later versions of APM/SAM? Ugh I made the change and it seems like I may still be getting these... I'll…

I have to agree with deverts... the default polling interval is pretty tight. If you have a handful of nodes that are super super more important you can shorten the interval for just them but just remember this won't scale as well as the defaults. There are other advantages to doing relying on the polling... for some WAN…

Weird now it works for me... go figure. I was having some problems with one alert that transferred over and works but you can't edit in the web now... that was the help link but wasn't working and now is.... go figure??? Someone must have broke the internet for a minute...

Sounds like a good one for the PM Feature request forum: http://thwack.com/forums/57.aspx

This module is still really new to us all. It'll be interesting to see what it can do for sure!

I would think if you can't see the interface data on 2k's like the 5k's then there's a possiblity there's an issue/bug etc. with version of the code it's running... we've seen this before with some code versions on other switches have known bugs.
