The tool should work as a discovery model, what use is an IP Address management software package if we have to put what IPs we want to monitor onto it in the first place? What DHCP ips are leased? What server IPs are available? It's a bit crippled by the intense licensing requirements, severely decreasing its worth.…

Thanks. I looked at the job, and this is a great start! There were no duplicate nodes this time on import, and I'm feeling more confident now. I'll disable my hackish sql trigger for a while and see how this stacks up. I suppose i'd include a small request -- The allow orion import boolean should be made available between…

 Wow thanks for the post edit, now I've figured out how to nest SQL queries. I thought I couldn't do that. Thanks!

I clicked through the import page and was unable to find any selection criteria or filtering. I upgraded to v5.1.1 last night, it looks the same.

Glad I could help, skierjmh

 I may have a fix for you based on case #15364; Deleting traffic analysis's zip file seemed to do the trick after running the website configuration wizard again. The banners returned and my vbscript errors were resolved. There is a folder called TrafficAnalysis-Website.zip . It should be located in C:\Program…

This isn't a SQL issue. Denny. We can always opt not to send an email notification based on advanced alert criteria (This is very easy to do) - but rather a node appearing as "down" on the maps. As an example here, I'll have an icon for my major cities, with each building within the city as child map objects. If any…

Installing version 9.2 seemed to do the trick! I can now export. Great!

rajivbahl, I read some other posts this morning (I dont' have the URL, sorry), that may be describing a bug in which system manager will not save SNMPv3 credentails. Try updating the credentials through the website.

Chris, I suppose that this wouldn't be something I could see support fixing. I'd like to see something like implemented for automatic "database synching". This is a bit of a hack, I've used sql triggers to just push updates to cirrus whenever something changes but it absolutely does the job for me.

We require pass-thru authentication support for Atlas as well. -JP

Can you give some examples of conflicts it's noticing? What kind of devices?

Count me in.

Matt, out of curiosity, are you also able to view your Syslog and events logs from the menubar? Mine are blank (Open support ticket)... Just wondering if I'm the only one with the problem. Orion hotfix 1 seems to break the website and cause a vbscript error.

Thanks, Chris. I've got some handy sql reports for now that can point issues to me.

It's been a few years.. Any progress? :) I'm sure it would take some saavy developer a few minutes to just get the first of two instances for tooltip information. Just deliver the 'interface' tooltip for whatever the "first" link is within the network links created within Atlas. This would be a great benefit!

I carefully validated my configuration. I was missing a specific SNMP view that was preventing my nodes from being able to poll. This was administrative error on the router and not the fault of solarwinds. My minumum view for solarwinds is: snmp-server view monitoring system included snmp-server view monitoring interfaces…

Great! I'd love to 'verify as answer' for you, mleinio~ but chris already caught you. Thanks for the tip, I hope I can ditch the horribly hackish sql trigger i wrote... I really don't like it being there.

Chris, How are custom properties handled within the Orion NPM database as the 'source' ? If, for instance, I updated an IP address, or address in Orion NPM, will that also be updated in NCM, or will I have to continue running my own SQL to make that work?

Also tried some test code, but it looks like Orion import cannot see views =( "Please select a table with data in it". Darn, that was so close! :) ALTER view NCMNodes AS SELECT IP_Address,DeviceType,Country FROM Nodes WHERE ConfigFlag = '1'

Thanks for the reply, Chris. Reading your post & the linked post above, I see that I could change the time on my running vs config downloads. I changed this to the minimum "last hour" option. This caused an unexplainable 100% conflict chart, so I changed it to "today" - much better, but it still complained about nodes that…

The uninstall process does not remove any database rows or tables. You'll be able to completely wipe the software, purge the registry entries, and delete all of the files and folders for a reinstall. Your nodes, alerts, properties, historical data, etc, will still be intact.

Omar, as per the email you and I have been working on, Orion is just a MS SQL database. Normal SQL syntax will create a new table under the database. You'll have to know what you want to do with it - what kind of data you want to put in it, and why. For most orion purposes a report will probably do. You can create a…

Another column in the node/interface list could really help with this - a checkmark beside the status icon for instance. This would make everyones lives easier and might not be that difficult for the solarwinds devs to implement. If I may also recommend that 'unplugged' interfaces should not be green or red, either :) -JP

I have over 15,000 IPs... $1/IP? Realy?! 15k is 2x too much for a simple icmp ping tool.

Are there plans to include an official service pack for either Orion or the NCM module to resolve this problem? I don't like the way Solarwinds chooses to fix the bugs with the hotfix/dropfile procedure, as it's impossible to discover versioning information when you push files around the installation haphazardly and just…

I suppose we could have 'marginal' success by adding some ${CRLF}'s to the Password field for said terminal server. I've had some limited success with this cheat on some other equipment but I haven't tried it in a while. Username: solarwinds Password: SuperSecretAdmin${CRLF}terminaluser${CRLF}terminalpassword

I tried a few things. Import: AgentIP, community, all of my custom properties. I tried creating a property on Orion "ConfigFlag" similar to a previous module, tying that to Enable Orion Import. This didn't do anything. I've tried enabling/disabling the "do not add nodes that already exist", and enabling/disabling the…

Speaking of website timeouts - I'm not sure if Support would recomemnd this, but a generic IIS/ASP.NET tweak is to edit the web.config file of the IIS root folder with the problem. This tweak will modify the execution timeout before an ASP.NET page is considered to be unresponsive and the request is terminated. This value…

Either that, or Orion could cache all of the node custom property information into system memory at runtime. I really like the way you worded that, though :)
