Count me in for the demo. Been wanting this for a while. Boss will be happy! :)

I opened a case. case# #181325

Just figured out why I can tget it to work. I am running ver 9.5. 9.5 did away with asp and is using asp.net now. Any plans to convert this to asp.net? thanks, jeremy

This is probably a stupid question, but what this 64 or 32 bit counter means? What type of devices use 64bit counters? This is interesting, because I've put everything as default (network devices mainly, swithes for example) and it was news to me that it may cause some wrong graphs... I was wondering the same thing. What…

Your right, the site is down now. Guess i downloaded it just in the nick of time. I'll upload the zip file as soon as I figure out how to do that.

No, Orion NPM is not an option because we dont have enough licenses to monitor every switch port. I was able to pull the data I needed by writing a custom SQL script and executing it in SQL server management studio. It would have been much easier if I was able to use the NCM report writer to do this.

You can limit it to certain interfaces by adding a WHERE statement between the FROM line and the GROUP BY line. Example: FROM ..... WHERE (Interfaces.InterfaceID = '##' or Interfaces.InterfaceID = '##' or ......) GROUP BY ..... replace the ## with the interface ids you are looking to report on. Just keep adding OR…

So it seems that this is a bug. Email from SW Support: --------------------------------------------- Jeremy, Upon researching this, I found that this is a known issue and it is being addressed by our development team. This case will stay open and you will be notified when it has been resolved. Currently, all I have is that…

Yes, you are correct, I had searched the "Name" field in my where clause, and not the SettingID. Thanks for that tip, I am now able to find/alter the setting.

Yeah, I tested this on one node in our system too. No loss of historical data. Just wish there was a easier way of changing the ip. I'm not looking forward to doing this on 250 nodes. It will be time consuming, but oh well.

If you are just wanting to update the node name with the "system name", you can write a SQL update script to do that quick and easy. I'll post the SQL code if anyone is interested.

oops

I am not able to see the resources listed in the resource list, under summary Reports. I have checked the file permissions on all of the files provided. All permissions are the exact same as all the default asp and resource files that came with orion. Also double checked the folder locations. All seem to be correct. Any…

Thanks for the info Chris. Having said that, if it's possible to push off the move of NCM to Windows 2008 until next year, I would recommend doing so given the other issues noted in the release notes. What issues specifically are you speaking about. The only real issue that I see is the issue with the scheduled jobs. Which…

Can someone explain how the last Change field is calculated. I'm trying to understand exactly how this is calculated so that I can write a sql query to tell which ports have been inactive for more than a given time period. is it something like this maybe?: CurrentTime - (sysUpTime - ifLastChange)

What type of graph do you want? I'm interested in creating an area chart for percent utilization. I noticed that the area chart is available for Universal Device poller charts, but not for netperfmon charts. Brandon, any idea's on how to do this?

Same here. This setting is not longer in the Settings table

Same here. Case #108296 opened with support.

So when you upped the stats collection interval to every 20 minutes, does that mean that it only gets a snapshot of the stats at the exact time, every 20 minutes, or does it have some way of averaging the stats over that 20 minute time period? The reason I ask is becuase I have my stats collection set to 2 minutes right…

Christine, I am having the same issue. I have a ticket open but have not heard anything since Monday. If you like to take a look at my case. the # is 164899. I have completed the network discovery, I have even deleted nodes and added them back via the network discovery, but I still have a blank "discovered links" report…

Please help! I am attempting to add a few nodes to NCM using snmp v3 but snmp will not validate. The nodes work perfect in Orion NPM, using the exact same snmpV3 settings/credentials. I am using the following: context [blank] auth type: MD5 auth pass: [30 chars with several special chars] encrypt pass: [30 chars with…

Hmm, not sure on that one. I dont have a report added to the home page. I just click the reports menu, then click the report I want to see, and it works fine from there. Maybe adding the report view to the homepage changes something. does the link work if you open the report from the "reports" menu, like I described above?…

One suggestion would be to duplicate your database, point the eval at that. Let both run. Upgrade the eval to production when comfort level is reached. Thanks Brandon. 3 more questions for you on that. 1:) I thought the eval copy could use the same DB, and act like a additional poller, until I register it. It sounds like…

I see the exact same problem on my charts. If I want to see the whole chart, I have open the raw data in excel and use excel's graphing feature. Brandon, is this a bug that SW has identified?

Thanks for the info Chris. I did see the message about the reindexing process, but the problem is that the service keeps starting and stopping. and everytime it starts, I see that NPM event saying that it is reindex the netflow summary1 table. The service will not stay stable. Any other recommendations? I might have some…

I see what you are saying. However, I would like for it actually show me the REAL "last response time", not just what is listed in DHCP. That leads me to my next question I guess. When monitoring a DHCP scope. Does IPAM try to ping the ip addresses, or does it just report what is in DHCP? If that's the case, I guess I…

you can add a second row to the enumeration by hitting the enter key. Its not obvious, I figured that out by accident, but it sure helped.

Solution found! I found a way to make this work. Apparently Putty doesnt allow you to open ssh connection directly from a command line. Thats why you are seeing that error message. I was getting the same thing until I found this. http://schipka.com/archives/34 This guy actually rewrote one of the .c files that putty uses…

That does work. Thank you very much. I have another question though. Which one of theses gives the more accurate number?: round(Maxbps_In95/Maxbps_95*100,0) round(Maxbps_Out95/Maxbps_95*100,0) or round(Maxbps_In95/interfaces.InBandwidth*100),0) round(Maxbps_Out95/interfaces.OutBandwidth*100),0) I'm just not too sure what…

So her is the SQL script that removes the domain names from the caption field. Thanks again for giving the code to make this happen. UPDATE Nodes SET caption = ( SELECT RTRIM( SUBSTRING( Caption, 1,( ( Select CASE WHEN (CharIndex ('.', Caption) > 0) THEN (CharIndex ('.', Caption)-1) ELSE (LEN(Caption)) END ) ) ) ) )
