It changes the way the traps get to the database. With it set to true, it goes through the Orion collector service first before going to the database. With it set to false it bypasses the collector service and goes straight to the database. The collector service is the source of the EVIL

Oh yes, I'm interested. I've spent the last 3 weeks trying to develop a universal poller to do some of this, with no success. QOS is a BIG issue

I'm not sure I totally agree with your idea on no config archive. We have routers and switches where we've had to go back a year or more to get copies of configs. Also we have over 4000 node elements so carrying that much data in the SQL database just slows it down. It makes more sense to archive really old configs in text…

That sounds reasonable. Having said that, that is basically the way I did it with the exception this incident of loading the primary first. However, the time before, I loaded the Secondary first and it still failed. I never ever have the FOE running during an install. For one thing, you can’t shut down the services with it…

Rob, When you get a chance could you call me 404-827-3922. I need to ask you a question not related to this

Thanks. I appreciate the help

Just thought I'd follow back up on this. A tech support person left a voice mail yesterday afternoon and we hooked via phone and webex this morning. He fixed the file system corruption in about 10 min and then took the extra strep to look at our set up overall and recommended a couple of fixes to reduce the appliances CPU…

Fan is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.4.1.3 and gives the current state of all fans in the chassis PS is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.5.3 and gives the current state of all supplies in the chassis. 

So I just did a quick survey using all Cisco 37xx devices in my network for EOS/EOL suggested dates. 100% of the suggested dates were either yellow or read with 100% of those being not applicable. I have 400 37xx devices. That means your database is giving me 100 % non-useful data for every device in this category

Sure but I’m not with Solarwinds. But to summarize, look do a sh proc cpu hist to see if you have any spiking of the devices cpu . You should be able to match up times from that with the times on your graphs.

It’s like the don’t even look or have access to their own customer database. I have this happen ALL the time

Thanks

That would work for me, but keep in mind there are two issues here. One is the fact that on a large network the web site interface times out waiting for reports to complete. If the report interface is done via web url's as it is today, the scheduled reports have the same issue. The second issue, which skirts around the…

I am running SP1

Hey if any of you are able to do this let me know. I queried the sales team about this issue and why the WLC's weren't already supported in the Orion wireless module and all I got back from them is you can do it with universal pollers. I guess my consternation with that is that Cisco is a big player and the WLC's have been…

Thanks. Understood. I had figured out that the email template parameters were just descriptive place holders and I had picked up some of the event parameter variables by looking at various rules. I was hoping that Solarwinds had done something similar to the admin manual for Orion and had an appendix list all the parameter…

In Custom properties under Nodes you can what ever custom field you want. We've added Region and group by region but you could just as easily add by building, address, city, state, country. One thing to keep in mind, every field you add from here applies to every node. Meaning it creates a blank field in the database fro…

All, I received the following from Solarwinds yesterday and this has totally solved the problem with my Cisco devices. As soon as I applied it I got about 15 Critical alerts on Fan and Power Supply problems and I verified all were legitimate by telnetting into the routers. Hi, first of all I apologize for issues you have…

Michal , This totally solved the issue. In fact it opened up about 15 alarms we were not aware of, each of which was confirmed by telnetting in to the routers and checking the environmentals. So here is my suggestions: 1- Advertise and/or broadcast this out to the community. I’m quite sure there are a large number of Cisco…

Well that just sort of defeats the purpose of the addition to NPM now doesn’t it. Udp cause a huge load on the Orion servers when applied in mass as something like that would be. I’m not interested in working around something that we paid for and is not working as advertised

I had this problem about a week ago and the only thing that cleared it was rebooting the web server. I tried clearing the cache first and no good

Thanks. I understand.

Ok so the ability to add custom properties is not obvious. I can’t for the life of me see where or how that is done

Well duh, but unfortunately I didn't design the OS, so we're kind of stuck with what the vendor has set up

Yes I found the bulk poller option to and used it. And yes I do have a support case open. It's sitting in dev with a response that the specific topo calc issue has been seen and will be addressed in the next release. However, the multitude of issue with topology calculation, such as load on routers, load on pollers, and…

Also let me add, that I wrote a report against one of the routers that was having the problem, The report is written to show connected MACS and IP addresses, The DNS name of the connected device shows up correctly next to the device port but th # of connected MACS and connected IP's shows 0. Some of the info is being…

I've sort of come to the same conclusion myself. I've opened a case with development to see if I can get this on the roadmap. It's a shame there is not enough flexibility in the NCM report builder

I'm betting the sale of Solarwinds to an investment company has caused them to reduce staff to pump of profits. That only lasts so long until customers start bailing
