    in it´s Polling - but no more statistics are registe Comment by gonzajoh February 2004
  • If you are running V7, then goto Windows Services->Right Click on the Solarwinds service->Properties->Log On and UNCHECK "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" - this should solve your problems. I strongly suggest you contact the Solarwinds Support team when you see problems like this. They are excellent at responding to…

  • Solarwinds do not offer an official API. I happen to know that there are ways to interface into the system programtically, but this is not supported by Solarwinds. IMO, Solarwinds could improve their market penetration by offering an official API (even at an additional cost); this would make this product a serious…

  • Interesting. I was getting exactly the same problem with 7.1 for the past 2 weeks. Our central server team applied the MS Hotfix against the pesky Sasser worm, and guess what, my COM+ errors have gone! Please apply this patch ASAP on your servers and let us know if you too have benefited. (You need to apply this patch…

  • Absolutely!! We're global too, and we certainly feel it is an important feature....

  • Check this on your box, we use it on 2600's running as Gateways (dial peers etc...) gw-accounting syslog - this sends CDR records via syslog - it does the job for us.... also, enable the sending of poor voice quality traps on each peer thus.... foreach dialPeer { snmp enable peer-trap poor-qov } Hope that helps....

  • The point is, the product can't group devices, which is quite a major omission. If I've purchased Orion SLX, I don't want to see 2000 nodes listed in the one overview page, that's rediculous. When are we going to be given the ability to group devices into user defined groups?
    in Grouping Devices Comment by gonzajoh August 2003
  • The best thing for you to do is get them both in and evaluate them. I can say this, NPM is potentially the best piece of network management software I have seen in my 10 years of working with SNMP and management systems - it's simple, fast and does a LIMITED job. I emphasise limited as it is lacking in custom mib support…
    in Orion 6 vs. WhatsUpGold? Comment by gonzajoh August 2003
  • I don't agree I'm afraid. In order of importance IMO.... 1. Custom Mib reporting / alerting 2. TRAP HANDLING (can't believe they missed that one!!) 3. Device Grouping One could argue that NPM is a NETWORK performance monitor (up to L3 OSI). What you are requesting is monitoring APPLICATIONS (ports and services) - not the…

  • This is not looking good! I have the same problem with some of our saturated WAN links (Cisco routers) and they are set for 64 bit counters. In fact, I have had queries from users alleging that they are seeing utilisation mismatches betweek Orion and they're own 'less spectacular' network management systems (What'sUpMan! I…
