Andy- I especially like the section you included on the Data Types and the issue that can occur with couter rollover. Also the additions to snmp operations post SNMPv1 like getbulk, inform, v2trap and report and 64 bit counters. Good times... good times.

I think it's all or nothing. NTA is just trying to resolve the names it doesn't know. At least after NetBIOS name resolution was added they later added a feature to turn it off.

Wow I just found this and need to run these on my main Orion instance... Sometimes it seems like the website isn't always as responsive as it should be. I've been considering adding an additional webserver but I realize it won't help much if it's the SQL or some issue with the VM's everything are running on. The new NTA…

I thought you said it was SCOM server doing the polling causing the failures polling from 1.57? He's getting snmpv2 auth failure messages at NPM from all of his devices but string is correct on devices and NPM is working polling devices so it pointed to something else polling all the devices with wrong comm string and each…

As a last resort to track down the problem: Wireshark Try installing Wireshark on the server that is spitting out the SNMP authentication failure traps and configure the filter to show only UDP port 161. The output will show which IP address is sending the SNMP request to that server with the incorrect community string.…

Has your community string changed anywhere... are u sure??? That's what I get when the comm string is wrong trying to poll a device.

Seems to me some of this may be adapting to a new support model... I have noticed a lot of staff lately that are all over the place and that in and of itself isn't a problem. From my experience SW has been pretty responsive to things like this so hopefully everything gets better. I know sometimes growing fast can be a…

I couldn't resist... Generally speaking where there's a will there's a way... and if not that's what feature requests are for.

Its in the customer portal... I've also added a good one to content exchange here that is free, constantly updated and will let you forward to two syslog servers... Eventlog to Syslog v4.1Release 4.1Last revised January 20, 2010 This program is written in C and provides a method of sending Windows Eventlog events to a…

Larry- I just checked mine NPM10RC3 NTA3.6 and I'm not getting that extra folder created. From your description is sounds like every new report you save would create a directory with the report name and those two .jpg's in it. I have no idea why but it doesn't sound "normal." On my box the header.jpg and spacer.jpg file…

I just discovered on the list when trying to access Active Directory 2008 R2 Services and Counters29 It takes me to a page that says: Unauthorized Access to this place or content is restricted. If you think this is a mistake, please contact your administrator or the person who directed you here. What's the deal with this???

We recently went with NPM, NTA and SAM SLX at multiple sites and are in process of defining SLA/OLA's... having a list of what can actually be monitored and what the default thresholds are would make it easier going through the process we're in right now... I'm piecing some of it together into a word doc so I have…

I created a summary view similar to what you are talking about. I added: Column 1 Event Summary 7 day Active Alerts Network Wide Utilization Last Month Network Wide Utilization This Month Column 2 Advanced Syslog Summary Polling Engine Status Total Interfaces by Type Total Nodes by OS Total Nodes by Type Top 10 Max and…

I can't imagine living without SAM.

You can see more about the SAM solution here: Server & Application Monitor - What we're working on beyond SAM 6.2 * Optional Agent for Linux Applications and Servers* Allows for polling host and applications behind firewall NAT or proxies * Polling node and applications across multiple discrete networks that have…

You can monitor up/down status with icmp through a NAT but that's about it and maintaining it is a nightmare. Also the worst thing is snmp will NOT work through NAT! snmp uses IP's that are part of the OID's. Unless you have some magic snmp proxy (it's been tried before but never really worked) Having so much information…

I've definately noticed the Ten Gig interfaces really have the problem... although in some way Gig are sometimes as well.

I'm guessing we all have the same problem... I have lots of it with Ten Gig interfaces especially. Once we were given granular ability to turn on and off individual sensors I started trying to turn off the ones like this... it's next to impossible to stay on top of though o.O! Some of my big paired VSS switches have…

One solution would be add some in graph pull down menus like those that have been added to NTA 3.6. So you could click on the graph time period directly and get a pull down for different periods.

You could definitely monitor the servers and workstations that run these tools but isn't dicom really an imaging file format mainly?

Hard to believe it's been over a decade but from the beginning of report writer and Orion's reporting I've had management ask me "Can we get the graphs in the reports?" I know it's a non trivial thing but considering how far along the graphs have come in the normal web interface its a huge relief to finally hear…

Hey Matt this is definately a known issue with 2k8R2 servers:

It's says I joined November 20, 2009... It's nice to still see many of the same people around after all these years. I actually started using SW Engineering toolset in the 90's and remember when SW first aquired Orion product. The new thwack website is much much improved from the original and so many added features and…

Level 20 smh... o.O!

Perhaps there's some limit on a data structure that holds the list? Could also be a bug. I've got some filers with literally millions upon millions of very small files. Thanks for the udpate sparda963​ you're working out the bugs for me right now ;^}

Also for those interested the entire OID tree for netapp is here for reference: http://www.oidview.com/mibs/789/NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB.html

Same here as clubjuggle and familyofcrowes... everything is in the same place. How it's alerted on doesn't have to be the same and that's what grouping is for! Custom properties help as well! It really is a no brainer... I think most of us that have been around a while all do it in similar ways... with slight variation…

In the add node dialog does the Validate SNMP validate or fail? I'm assuming what you mean by watch orion via snmp is that you want the NPM to monitor itsself is that correct? Also are you seeing anything in the evenlogs when you try to validate the snmp?

This is actually interesting and making me want to go back and check my configs... may need to put NCM to work adjusting a couple lines in my netflow configuration.
