All of what you have asked can be done with a combination of Account Limitations, Custom Properties and adding a resource to the Network Summary view of "All Nodes - Tree (AJAX)" Account Limitations - build an account for each of your customer, and make the settings so that they can only see thier devices. What I do is…

Using a VM for your polling server will work as long as you have a very minimal ammount of Elements. You will find that Orion will quickly swamp your VM and your entire VM Host (if allowed) if you greatly increase the ammount of elements that you are monitoring. If you stay under 500 or so elements and you have a…

The server name helps me none, as we email alerts to our ticketing system and then a ticket is opened for the specific customer based upon the format within the email that displays the customer name. Solarwinds Dev team, please modify your database variables to allow this to somehow happen. aka a UNIVERSAL CustomerName…

first think you need to do is select 64 bit counters for this system. im monitoring a 20TB volumn with no problem Volume D:\ Label:FatAlbert Serial Number 46c609c4 TypeFixed Disk Size 20.0 TB Space Used 11.9 TB Space Available 8.1 TB Percent Used 59 % Percent Available 40%

Thanks Mark, that did the trick... it was assigned to listen to all IP addresses but didnt have the custom.config file enabled. Ok.. its friday... 11AM... time for beers...

In addition to what you are asking, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see the ability to add additionally UnDP data entries to the same table that have the same instance values. Example DRIVE # : Slot 0:0 DRIVE STATE : Online DRIVE TYPE : Seagate blah blah blha and there is even another issue i run into. I would like Orion to have…

ok, how do i get the MIB tree for : 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.25 into Orion mib tree?

ETA on this?? I would love to TEST :)

Craig, Thanks, I had to teak it just a tad as our Zip Code is actually "ZipCode". Now is it possible to do the following within the Custom Query: Currnetly the output is like this: CITY STATE ZipCode I would like the data to be presented within this query like this: CITY STATE ZipCode Is this possible?

Marie, I think you misunderstood my question. I know how to use the Universal Poller and get the data.. My question is regarding presenting the data on the Node Details Page. I am wanting a DUAL DIAL Resource for the CPU and Memory Utilization which is gathered from 2 separate universal poller queries. This Resource I am…

I am seeing 2, however I do have quite a bit of UnDP routines set up. Example, pulling down the HP server info. CPU types, and speeds, and cores per.. drives and thier status and chassis status variables... each of which i tell NOT to keep historical data on and they are pretty much non-changing and dont need graphing. I…

Actually all I was wanting to know is if there where plans to bringing the custom property editor to the web. I would love to have the full functionality of the application via a web .asp page.

Below is debug pix logs . I substituted the source and destination IP addresses for security reasons. 10:47 AM rtstlpix-dmz1 Notice %PIX-5-304001: A.B.C.D Accessed URL RTSTL-ORION:/Orion/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fOrion%2fstyles%2fOrionCSS.ashx%3fpath%3d%2fOrion%2fstyles%2fResources.css&path=/Orion/styles/Resources.css 10:47…

Does Hot Fix 1 address this issue? if not when do you think we will see it.. this is a pain to the eyes of our customers that use thier Orion portal.

Is it possible to set up in a future release the ability to change the polling interval on a per UdNP poller? There is just soo much overhead to collect certain data that is / should be always the same. Understanding that checking a raid for failed drives is something we want on short frequencies, however the domain that…

Found it... Node Detail Reports > Custom Properties for Nodes. Now for a FEATURE request. I would like to be able to change the ORDER in which the selected Custom Properties show up on the website. Currently they are just listed alphabetically. Also instead of having to click the Edit resources at the top of this table,…

mark, I understand what you are saying, but when i first boot up the Orion server which is dual CPU's running HT, and i bring up the task manager, it shows me 4 CPU graphs. Also when i monitor the applications for CPU usage NetPerfmonService.exe is sitting at a solid 25. which according to you states that its using 100% of…

BY GEORGE I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both of those responses still report back with a "Error: A query to the SolarWinds Information Service failed." error. To collect the data I am looking for, this is an example SELECT Address, City, State FROM [dbo].[Nodes] WHERE NodeID=XXXX if you know the NodeID and enter this as an SQL query within the Database Manager,…

question. the NetBotztempSensorValue is graphing with values in the 200s, when the actual temp is around 72F how do i fix this?

I too will have to agree with both of you. Solarwinds took a huge leap forward by creating an engine to support custom mibs within Orion, however this current version is significantly below the quality that we have grown to expect from Solarwind. TABLES support it needed in a major way. Intuitive behavior is missing. ease…

I found out that they are actively working on making this happen and just like with the new Application / TCP service / Wireless plug-in's its my understanding that SW is working at a way of making this a reality by getting out of the simple CANNED system into a more modular one to allow plug-ins, which im sure custom MIBS…

Craig, Our company as well is headed more towards a optimal CDR solution that provide good reporting of understandable data. Currently we have Infortel which isnt all that great. In addition to that its expensive and yet another system that we must maintain. Our company is looking for an overall well designed single…

To Layer maps you need to build the MAP that would be the Layer that you are drilling down to. Then you would place that MAPs ICON onto the current (top layer map) and assign it a Icon. This in turn would make a HOTLINK to that 2nd map so that when you clicked on it it would lead to the lower layered map. Hope that helps…

we run it on a dual 3.4Gig XEON with 6G of ram on ESX 2.5 and its slow on the web site... but it still functions with over 3000 instances. NOTE that the SQL database is remote on another ESX platform built identically... again... its SLOW but functions. I have been begging for dedicated hardware for this setup for a long…

I ran into the same issues. Basically the newer versions of Redhat come with a newer version of Net-SNMP which is the cause of this. Orion is doing something that the newer versions of Net-SNMP does not like causing Net-SNMP to go into a RACE condition. I found that you need to Downgrade Net-SNMP to a version more friendly…

I am gettin it as well

We use orion if part of our managed service package. The trick to securing each customer from others is all in external setups. SSL to heighten the overall security of the platform which Orion runs on and a few other tweaks... all in all its working out well.

Adding an Orion REPORT for the inventory of devices managed by Cirrus would be a nice plus. But note the importance of having the views locked down to the same permissions as the Orion User that is logged in. Key to this would be forcing the NAME of the NODE to be the same in both services. So you will have to integrate…

depending upon the servers ability, more smaller faster scsi drives in a raid would be better off for the SQL server than just 2 big drives. Our SQL data store is a LUN in our SAN, only 70 gigs in size but spans 14 physical drives.
