Having you tried disabling and re-enabling the alert for the specific element in the System Manager? That's the first thing I would check, as moving node from one engine to the next might disable the alert on the original polling engine. Just a thought...haven't gotten up to two engines yet. // Ian Underwood - Service…

Editing a custom property is more or less akin to "customizing" a view. In the current system of editing things, it's not a bug. SW will need to make an allowance for more granular editing for this to work as you'd like. That's going to require a fair bit of work on SW's part to accomplish since a simple yes/no flag would…

I'll take back most of my second comment. I made the following file in NetPerfMod\Resources\1-3-Alerts calling it 51-AllAlerts-Beta.Resource. Now all I need to do is figure out ack'ing from the website. I changed the message portion, however, and made that reflect if the alert were acknowledged or not. And if so, who and…

I can host them for you. My profile should let you email me. // Ian Underwood - Network Engineering // Boston Stock Exchange

I deal with a number of different CPE device types on the network on my side, and figured it would be nice to make an overview of the device type for the support crew, so I added a link if it was an SNMP-able device. This also involved cleaning up some of the display for ICMP/SNMP items making the applicable show. So I…

No need to include NetPerfMon.asp in your telnet resource. Everything you'll need is included in Resource.asp. I ended up modifying mine so that it would only allow the telnet URL if the resource was SNMP pollable: <!-- Title=Telnet --> <!--#include Virtual=/NetPerfMon/scripts/Resource.asp --> <% Title="System Access"…

I am happy to say that the server has been behaving more acceptably over the last few weeks after I removed about 1,000 nodes from the monitor from stuff we didn't actually use. There is plenty of room on the drives for this since I have the DB and transaction log on separate drives...but I'll run the debug for a more…

Still happens, though I'm starting to reload the process daily at this point. It kills me that this is the only part that stops...I still get my other system stats recorded, but the response time just shuts off. I've requested some kind of watchdogging from support@, mostly because there's no real way to set an alert to…

I noticed the same problem again this morning, except that all stats collections stopped. This is really starting to get me agitated. I think SW needs a watchdog function for this so that it can either restart itself or page out in the event of this kind of failure so that troubleshooting information can be gathered. //…

BK, I looked through services and I had interact unchecked. <shrug> Looking back at the statistics, it looks like they came to a stop after the daily maintenance was completed. // Ian Underwood - Service Management // Level 3 Communications

I don't have that debug file in my directory. // Ian Underwood - Service Management // Level 3 Communications

That IP address is in the DHCP auto-assignment address range. I'm not sure it's SW related. // Ian Underwood - Service Management // Level 3 Communications

SLX will take however much you decide to throw at it, numberwise. However, the polling and rediscovery frequency will affect the actual number of devices you'll be able to poll successfully. // Ian Underwood - Service Management // Level 3 Communications

It can send traps in whatever format you need, IIRC. You may wish to try this with an evaluation copy to make sure it functions as expected for you. // Ian Underwood - Service Management // Level 3 Communications

I think I understand the question you're asking. SW can poll any device based on an arbitary IP address. If that address is a public IP like 223.4.4.1 which is NAT'd to 10.1.1.1 internally, SW will still go after an poll the public IP. It doesn't change the address it's going to poll unless you tell it otherwise. Polling…

The stats that Orion can provide may or may not answer the question your boss is looking for. What you need to determine is what resources are remote users attached to when they connect to the network, and what sort of bandwidth they are using to do their jobs. Where are the workers most of the time? What kinds of…

NG! It's been awhile indeed. The funny thing, is that my new employer has actually been running Orion for the last couple of years here. I'm sure my previous experience helped me in the door. I have, however, convinced them to get me a beefier machine to upgrade the whole shebang onto, especially given the huge number of…

Are you able to successfully send a message between the devices on the command line? // Ian Underwood - Network Engineering // Boston Stock Exchange

quote:Originally posted by dsullinger I've seen where Ian created a customized view using VB Scripting, so now I need to start doing some poking around to see how this is done. You are probably referring to the SearchInterfacesAction.asp script, which simply takes parameters from the search interfaces resource. You could…

Towards the end of Sunday, have the Report Scheduler grab and email you the Top 10 page as it is. Theoretically, it should preserve the graphs and all that stuff. // Ian Underwood - Service Management // Level 3 Communications

quote:Originally posted by cayzac When my Orion server reboots, it sends out alerts saying everything is UP. Is there anyway to stop it from checking right after a reboot? Or at least not to send out the alerts? Set your alert to fire whenever an interface is down/unknown, and reset when it's up/shutdown. If you alert on…

NG, I've looked at Kiwi which appears to be a mighty kick-ass collector...however, it doesn't look like there are any web-based front-end interfaces for it. There seems to be very little available for making syslogs web-accessible. // Ian Underwood - Service Management // Level 3 Communications

In order for SW to actually watch a tunnel, it needs to be a GRE tunnel. If you're using an IPsec transform-set and a crypto-map, it doesn't create an interface since its magic is performed on the transit interface on traffic going out or coming in. It's seems rare for any VPN servers to create tunnels for their ipsec…

In addition to the application timeout, I think there needs to be an increase on the timeout at the SQL server itself. // Ian Underwood - Network Engineering // Boston Stock Exchange

You don't say what kinds of devices you're connecting to, but it would be a good idea to make sure the software on them is up-to-date. In addition to SNMP, you should also allow ICMP echo/echo reply to return. // Ian Underwood - Network Engineering // Boston Stock Exchange

There really isn't an "SSH" URL identifier that I could find, as there is with telnet. As such, there isn't really an easy way to do this currently. All the IANA schemes are here: www.iana.org/.../uri-schemes.html The good news, is the URI scheme for SSH is in draft:…

I've got the same problem which I've been working w/ support@ when I've had a chance (which has been tough this week). I thought it was using the SystemName which is discovered from SNMP and that I was looking at a macro problem. // Ian Underwood - Service Management // Level 3 Communications

For question A, there's no really easy way to do this from the resource on the web. To do so, there would need to be a way to select a custom property for the resource and store that preference. For question B, I imagine you'd need to set up an ODBC driver on whatever machine you run CR on to talk to the database. I'm not…

ATM is supported, but the interfaces need to show up in the standard MIB for it. I'm monitoring several ATM interfaces fine on Cisco and Redback equipment. However, because there are a number of items to choose from on those, the AAL-5 layer is the best pick for the subinterfaces. // Ian Underwood - Service Management //…

Or, if you have the guts / know someone who knows how, you can move to SQL 2005 express which will give you 4gig of space. Admittedly, the installation is a little tricky the first couple of times. However, I've been using it on my dev/demo box without any trouble. // Ian Underwood - Network Engineering // Boston Stock…
