We started noticing same behaviour since upgrading from 10.1.3 -> 10.3. We have multiple pollers, they are balanced, and appear healthy. I've ruled out its not a particular poller, but random interfaces. Definitely SNMP related. I've noticed that SNMP process appears to be hogging cpu on nodes being polled more so since…

Excellent - your instructions to "update report schemas" resolved the issue of custom properties missing from Report Writer and existing reports after I had upgraded to NPM 9.1

Main engine keepalive issue. Our main engine is reporting down for 20min. few times a week, always same time of day. The Solarwinds processes/services remain up, webserver which is also on main engine, behaving normally during this 20min mystery event. Our 4 additional pollers do not report any issue. Examined main engine…

Normally after a webcast a followup email with link arrives, however this time no such email or link arrived.

Great news. NCM directly unrelated, however suspect performance of main poller/web console was being impaired by recent growth and install of NCM. I install additional web console on separate server, issue is ** RESOLVED **. Confirmed with both IE & Firefox, also confirmed ok with browser integration turned on. Firefox is…

It would be great if black out periods ("maint window") for alerting can be more flexible, ie: 1st monday of every month. This would allow us to exclude generator testing periods which are mandated in hospitals.

Thank you HolyGuacamole (great name), I successfully created a SAM template using your suggestion. We are now tracking keepalive for our main engine. We are trying to figure out why keepalive for main engine stalls almost every morning at 9:30am for 20minutes, but all additional pollers keepalive remain fine, and all…

We noticed same (only small % of nodes appear to be affected). I am thinking of changing our topology polling interval to 1440(24hrs) as well, so that we still get benefit of L2/L3 data gathered, but reduce the frequency of the high cpu (basically snmp denial of service) that affects certain devices. Did you notice any…

Derek, Did you ever find an alternate means to achieve this ? I'm wanting to do same. epenney.

I recently had same "red faced" experience of having blank stats for interfaces. 2 separate "red faced" scenarios happened to me. 1st situation - numerous blank gaps on various interfaces, random devices, no particular pattern. this particular Polling Engine is a VM. Turns out the VM only had single CPU, 3gb ram. Since…

I shall keep an eye on this post - we too are keen on UDP for Tandberg\cisco VCS. If i have success in developing UDP i will update post. e.

i just found a table in the database that contains alertmigration info. disregard my query. ellen

Hi aLTeReGo, appreciate you taking time to provide input. I had opened a case during our extremely long SAM upgrade. It was support who told me that there were other customers who had experienced same, and to wait it out. Support did mention that there were specific SAM db/table changes as a result of going 5.0 -> 5.5 that…

m-milligan, Thanks for sharing. Updated our websites to reflect FQDN of website url and it resolved our excel attachment issue. Ellen (epenney)

Greetings Janene16, Having same issue. Seems to happen 100% of the time. Have checked our IIS bindings, and confirmed set to ALL UNASSIGNED. WE only have ssl enabled. The webserver has an alias (orion.healthbc.org) - the certificate is assigned to this alias as well. However the Server name of the webserver is something…

We are occasionally receiving exact same error (happens to different userid) - mostly ADMIN folks (no restrictions). Our web console is on a dedicated server. Running NPM 10.0

Greetings mgarvey & others, Are you still waiting or have you taken the 11.5.1 plunge? We are a large implementation (healthcare industry), and are considering upgrading next week, but I'm still unsure. My 2 main concerns: 1) length of upgrade (our interfaces_traffic_detail table is 250Million rows), and 2) Alert changes.…

Hi Rob, Public or Private walk ? Ellen.

Do you happen to know which tables in the database are impacted by changing IPSLA data retention value. Reason I'm asking, i've just discovered our nighly maintenance spends 20-30min on just a single Voip table (VoipCCMPhoneStatus_Detail) is now 78Million rows (2.5gb) - just this one table. And we don't even need to see or…

Has there been any update on trapeze (3com) wireless support being added? We are running NPM 10.2.2.

Agree. Charts were a driving force in us upgrade to 10.3 as well. Appreciate you doing the due diligence and sharing your findings.

Greetings PLanglois ... do you use this Application warmup app on your IIS for orion? if so can you share what urls, and how many urls you opted to include in the 'warmup'. thanks, ellen.

We are running latest version VNQM 4.2. Seems issue started after we ugpraded. I'm getting event messages indicating we have exceeded our license count. We have unlimited license. Not sure what this is about. VoIP licensed phones limit exceeded. 3520 of 3520 VoIP phones will not be monitored. VNQM license limit exceeded.…

Do you know if feature set now permits node management using snmp rather than ICMP. Reason being: Cisco ACS appliances are safeguarded with Cisco Security Agent which prohibits ICMP. Our security team have temporarily disabled this to permit us to monitor appliance, but we're hoping to find alternate means to monitor…

Hi Maria, Wow. That was fast. The 3 packages arrived today. Really appreciate your efforts. epenney.

Thanks for posting this SUPERFLY99. We ugpraded last night and already I had engineers asking me if we could present in Celsius. Before responding to them, I checked thwack, saw your comment, verified it, then gave them the good news. Thank you for making me look good.

We had same issue - seemed to happen after I restarted the server which hosts SQLServer. Followed your suggestion and I'm now able to see custom properties in the Grouping drop down list in Orion web. Question: Do I need to run this "update report schemas" each time we restart the SQL backend ?

We are seeing the same issue, however it's only happening on one of our 6500's. We're seeing all the flows on all configured 6500's, with the exception of one of our 6500's. The configuration has been reviewed numerous times, reread cisco material on netflow. We even performed a NAM (packet capture) of the export itself.…

Greetings choly, can you confirm if this is possible with NTA 4.0.3 or later? We are on 4.0.3, and i'm not getting any results on my first attempt. Just want to confirm that it should work, now that flow storage is in place for netflow. -Ellen.

I reinstalled the Add'l Web server from scratch. NPM 10.2.2 (as this is version we are using on primary engine), all is fine until IPSLA 3.5.1 is added (again same version as we have on primary engine). Primary engine and primary web console are fine, only our Add'l web server fails to run IPSLA 3.5.1 on NPM 10.2.2.…
