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.

Another answer is to update to NTA 3.6RC3 as it includes both of these reports and will upgrade your NTA without fear of overwriting important files (if you are unsure of making backups and replacing files)

I'm exporting netflow from some of my VMware Distributed switches. It does work. We like getting netflow from inside our VMware environment. It's just as beneficial as it is with real switches. Configure the NetFlow Settings of a vSphere Distributed Switch Enable or Disable NetFlow Monitoring on a Distributed Port Group or…

I don't have the problem but I'd kinda like to know what happened?

In larger networks it definately helps to have the SQL server on a seperate server vs. having it on the same box as NPM and the webserver. It's also not recommended running the SQL server on a virtualized server although many people here have done it successfully.

This might be a way to do long term trending using splunk as a data warehouse... something I think Jfrazier​ has been asking for for a long time from SolarWinds. Perhaps this is why SolarWinds made the new Log Manager module?

We've been having problems getting kiwi syslog server to start under windows server 2012 R2. EMET won't allow the service to start. Has anyone gotten this to work under windows server 2012 R2? This is a serious problem for us. One of my partners has a case 999667 open on this now. Since most of our logging depends on the…

Have you tried looking at using net-snmp agent on solaris? It can even be run with the sun agent: http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/README.solaris.html One good thing about net-snmp is it's been around for long time and well supported.

Jimmy- Here's one of my favorite docs on using snmp with ASA/PIX: http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/paws/13822/pixsnmp.pdf

Try this solution: http://support.solarwinds.com/kbase/ProblemDetail.cfm?ID=1264 Not sure how well the 501 does netflow but it's worth a try.

Sounds like maybe you would want to setup a trap for certain conditions in the Netbotz so it sends a trap immediately when the condition you are looking for exisits. Then as soon as it happens you'll get a trap for the issue at the NPM. I suppose it might also be able to do this with syslog.

Or maybe simpler for those linux hosts I would lower the alert warning and critical by 5% to accommodate the lack of net-snmp agent providing for the reserve. That's how I would work around it if your hosts usually show around 5% difference with the reserve in place being taken from the disk. This would work in NPM and not…

You can actually expose any resource in the Orion platform by using the url and just putting it up on a webserver or sharepoint server. I did this a lot with sharepoint. I setup an account that's read only for the queries. You can pass the password and username with the url.

Did anyone get anything to get points for the SWUG? I never saw any emails or anything about it?

Two places to maybe start looking: IP-MIB:ipNetToMediaTable OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.22 Here's a good reference to what's available in there: http://www.oidview.com/mibs/0/IP-MIB.html Also someone created a custom poller for cisco arp table here:

I got an email this morning (Monday): Reminder: SolarWinds User Group in Phoenix is tomorrow! It confused me because SWUG is Wed. and Thurs. not tomorrow!

One thing I'd like to see more of is security related stuff... SolarWinds tools satisfy many of the 800-53 and 800-171 RMF requirements and seeing how this works would be really good for pretty much everyone. I know everyone isn't a CISSP but we're all stuck with dealing with security these days so it really applies!!!…

Wooohooo here we go PHX SWUG 3.0!!! Phoenix SWUG Do or do not. There is no try. Phoenix SWUG come you must! Bill
