I thought they were sorted decending based on RCV+XMIT Utilization but as you can see your second one doesn't fit... maybe a combo of RCV+XMIT and also node name sorted decending???? 140 108 122 121 115 113 102 100 you find some good ones byron... made me look at things I didn't even notice :}

One thought of something to try... try un-managing one node then re-managing it and see if that makes a difference in it's polling? Might be worth a try.

I'm actually considering scrapping my EOC and two primary pollers and just stacking pollers on one IP... I still haven't decided yet. I have one primary poller in AZ with two APE and additional webserver, and another primary in VA with and extra APE. EOC is finally improving but now with stacked pollers I'm considering…

Export netflow from the WAN routers edge interface or tunnel interface to Orion NTA and let it collect for while. Then you'll be able to not only see how much traffic but also what type of traffic you have flowing. Lot of devices can export if it's Cisco it'll be really easy.

Also SAM can do a lot with push or pull agents behind the f/w for your servers but you're right about the network devices. I totally feel your pain of small DMZ networks that could never justify an APE.

I had a similar problem except I couldn't get kiwi syslog server running on w2k12R2 server that was also a DC... we're going to move it to a windows 7 host instead as a solution. I couldn't get the service to start and stay running at all.

Everybody vote up ability to monitor with snmp or wmi only and have ability of nodes to be green without icmp as an option. This enables monitoring nodes behind firewalls that don't allow icmp and being able to report on them as up/up and green in NPM! http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/2287

I think NCM includes a scheduled Orion NPM node import job. Under Schedule, New Job, Import nodes from Orion database. In the job you can filter nodes imported by Vendor, Machine Type, etc. This is one solution as most people usually start with all their nodes in NPM and then use the other apps as a subset of their NPM…

You could have those entries in hosts file you maintain checked before regular DNS lookup. nsookup can resolve using a hostsfile for reverse lookups. Host name resolution generally uses the following sequence: The client checks to see if the name queried is its own. The client then searches a local Hosts file, a list of IP…

WAN tunnel links is what I use it for. When remote sites say they have something slow or it doesn't work... NTA is one of the first places we look.

I wonder if MS may have changed some permissions which broke some functionality. You could try running the OrionPermissionChecker.exe and see if it returns any permissions that aren't set correctly. I've had problems with Group Policy breaking some things like this in my environment. Convert to pdf seems to often be one…

I don't think new guides are created for example every service pack etc. Probably the best bet is to use the link to latest doc from: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/documentation.aspx and hopefully try and keep your versions updated... I hold off on some updates to see what ends up happening before I make the jump with…

It sometimes takes a little while to change status ie. a few polls. You can usually force this by manually polling a bunch of times in succession. If it still says unknown after a little time polling it's definitely something else. I've had some previous posts about it: Simple Application Monitor status stays grey??? Good…

Can't you just load a report you want as starting point then do save-as <new name>... then edit your new saved copy of the report? EDIT: You shouldn't have to start from scratch.

See the following thread I think it might help:

This new perfstack thing is going to make unseating aLTeReGo​ even harder!

Cisco UCS Manager GUI Configuration Guide, Release 2.0 - Configuring Role-Based Access Control [Cisco UCS Manager] - Cisco Systems User accounts are used to access the system. Up to 48 user accounts can be configured in each Cisco UCS domain. Each user account must have a unique username and password. I might not be…

I think aLTeReGo​ is going to have to answer this one. When I setup app Insight for SQL I had to create a database user id with specific limited permissions all of which came from a guide on thwack: AppInsight for SQL requirements and permissions - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Another thing you could try is to load one of extensions that let you use ie to render web page inside a FF tab as a workaround until you figure out what's causing it.

Jswan- I'm using ff3.6.2 with the following extensions and NOT having the problem with NTA3.6-

It would be cool if now that InfoBlox are becoming mainstream if NPM would support them out of the box. I've been working on trying to get a undp that will work to monitor them with some success. We have fairly recently replaced all our windows dns servers with Infoblox devices.

See this post: Also Michal Brutvan is the Senior Developer for the Network Atlas team and he might know if there's anything you can do... good luck. EDIT: Dang Mike beat me to posting this :P I was trying to send you his way and he was already on it :}

That's probably just a cached rendering of your map because as far as I know the if you're running version 9.5+ of NPM... all the maps are stored in the SQL Database now. You may want to open a case or if someone else here understands the tables for the network atlas they might be able to tell you if all is lost or not. If…

I used to use custom properties in my hover over pop ups in Network Atlas maps... it worked fine with ${custompropertyname} Now i'll have to check as I had switched from atlas maps to the newer one until the background maps stopped working recently. Oh I just noticed you said group custom properties not node custom…

I have a bunch of FEX attached to my nexus. Uploading what I've got.

It's also about the rollup of the stats over time when older statistics are summarized. That's why the recent part of the graph looks normal and the older data on same graph looks like dots.

The install finally completed. I ended up having to re-license NPM offline since my server is in a DMZ... but after getting that right it looks like everything is back up and running. Not sure why my original upgrade hung for soooooo long at Installing SolarWinds Collector 2.0 but d@ng it's a relief to have NPM back up and…

wonderful... I can't repair the old version either... it immediately says i have to finish the current install first.... At least I backed up my database and webconfig before trying this.... When I upgraded from 9.5.1 to 10 I never had any problems like this.

I tried to rerun the installer and it uncompresses the msi's etc. then says it's doing visual c++ runtime etc. then jumps right to the same place 2/3rd of solarwinds collector 2.0 and fails almost immediately.

Seems I wasn't the first to notice this: Missing links on nodes in group view To me this a bug big time. I'm willing to bet more people have this and maybe don't realize it yet!
