The KB arcticle has been updated: SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Compatibility of SolarWinds Orion Products for Installation and Upgrade

so just to make sure, this is about getting an assessment of how much packet/traffic your CoS drop, across all routers (i.e. aggregated), right?

We are working on updating this KB, should not be long.

The script for 10.3.x was actually there. I just reworded the paragraph about versions for more clarity.

Interesting benefit. Then where do you send the alerts? How do you manage them?

Great thread. All, should this be valid for Netflow as well? I.e. when I unmanage an interface, should NTA keep processing its flow data during the unmanage period? Same for CBQoS polling?

Hi Byron, You are correct. The limitation you highlight is the one I was refering to in this section If you are afraid of this behavior (some MSP consider this a back door), then you should NOT use the View Limitation and rather model your system like this [...] In your case, did you use View limitation? Because if you do,…

So what you are saying Tim, is this: - My Account is limited (Account Limitation) to see nodes A, B, C - I tweak my URL and gain access to a View limited (View Limitation) to nodes D, E, F - The result is that I will see only the nodes that are in both, i.e. nothing in this example, because there is no Node that is in both…

Can you confirm that the performance issue that you reported above is improved by 4.0? Also, any input on the missing features would help. Thanks wluther

Thanks. No PDF documents. We'll look on an update. It's still mostly accurate, but a few points need updating

yes, I meant events, not Alerts. Sorry. Can you explain the use case around "identyifiable bad netflow streems"? About adding Nodes, we have an example script, explained and available here. Might help. Agreed that populating dependancies via API would be great but having the product discovering and autopopulating them,…

Tks for feedback. I've added a link below the table that helps with that.

Hi Glad to hear this. 1) FSM is licensed by number of "devices" that you import into the FSM inventory. Typically, you would import all firewalls (that FSM supports) and routers involved in security (that have NAT, ACL.. statements in their configs). Note that the Packet Tracer feature, looks at routing tables of all…

This is on the What We're Working On list (see the status of this request)

Hello, We have had this feature request a few times already and have opened an enhancement abouu it (62878) I have added your vote to it.

:-) yes this is an oddity of Jive, or maybe of our setting - we might be able to remove the vote indication for those items that are not offered for vote, but are effectively being worked on, as Steve B mentioned. Good comment, we'll try to improve that, for the decaffeinated and all others too. Note that you will see us…

Not yet. Most products are working on this and we'll update this post when we have more information

We just introduced a new product which covers this need: FSM, Firewall Security Manager, more here

Hi Mustafa, I'll let the relevant PM know about that and ask him to answer your question. Thanks for your continuous involvement.

:-) The NTA 4.0 situation should be similar to v3.11, as far as sampled flow processing: - sflow should work (sflow is by nature sampled) - sampled jflow should work, but we know that we have some issues with some devices (e.g. JunOS versions) that export flows without specifying that it is being sampled (so NTA processes…

Is the NSX deployed in your env't, ecklerwr1? Any ETA? Others, how rapidly do you see the need for managing flows (but also performance, config, firewalling...) in an NSX env't, with Orion?

By the way, nrms, would have your vote been positive of negative for this one? Just curious...

Thanks all for taking the time to create this idea (thanks to Mike Driskell) and contribute to the thread (pserwe, smartd, Richard Letts, adatole, byrona, falimyofcrowes... list is too long... sorry for other bloggers). Well, some of this is not pleasant to hear, but for the most part, true and certainly helpful. We are…

Same as the other thread. What would have your vote been?

Classic technique which effectively reduces the traffic, a lot. The issue is that TRAPs being transported by UDP they are usually not ack'ed and therefore easily lost, vs. SNMP which gets the benefit of retries. Also, this usually works for interfaces, not the node itself. The last trick about interfaces is fine, but by…

Great interaction, thanks all, keep it coming. If someone has an opinion/need about the level of protocol decoding, we'd be happy to hear it. Either describe it here, or let me know, I'll ping you off line to discuss. Thanks again all or your time.

You can actually get better granularity by deploying Network Sensors (NPAS) on remote locations and configuring them appropriately. More in this document: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/SolarWindsPacketAnalysisSensorDeploymentGuide.pdf Look at the recap table on page 6

In this case, yes you are absolutely correct, the background images of the other customer become visible, but not the nodes. The way you use CustomerID is exactly the CustomerTag property in my example. On your last question, I don;t know never tried, it's a precedence question. Between the Account Limitation saying you…

This was due to NCM adopting Orion Core.Platform technology. The nature of the integration had to completely change and made it very complex to perpetuate this capability (which was actually a "gray area"-type capability, because even though it was technically possible, it was never exposed in the documentation). Importing…
