Chris, is it possible to create custom resources for NCM like we can for NPM? I don't see the same infrastructure under NCM that is under NPM, but there might be some kind of trick? I'd like a resource identical to NPMs NodePropertyList.Resource or UserDefinedFields.Resource, but for the Cirrus database.

It would be nice to see a webpart/resource similar to the "Custom Properties" resource on NPM, but grouping also seems like a great idea!

Just after I posted, I checked my own workstation. The file was there as expected. I don't actually have the toolset on here, but I like the right-click telnet/ssh ability posted here. I've got my menu now!

Shoot, it's the same DB. I just installed SQL 2008 express for nothing =) What a fun day. I woke up the other day thinking about IP Management, I'll probably end up going with something opensores anyway. With the 2k5 requirement and the *INSANE* licensing, i'll have to pass on this.

Agreed. When some of the NCM v5 kinks are worked out (Integration & patching) I'm hoping that an upgrade will fix this bug.

I don't mean to throw fuel in the fire, but are you pinging nodes via ICMP within Orion NCM? I had some problems with this in previous versions.

For some added weight, I'd also like to see this for similar reasons. A work around for you may be to add/remove columns in the order that you would like to see them.

I thought it was just me - The nodes are online, they poll fine, but I have to re-add all of the nodes every once in a while whenever I use snmp v3. This happens whenever the node can't poll for a short while (like an access list, or outage), and it comes up again. I know the interface IDs are the same, but they appear…

Dropped the first result into a temporary variable table, and unioned your count afterward. Ran the query in report writer, and came up with a working table. I also thought you didn't really need to count & sum the count, but I don't know what you're expecting from your data. DECLARE @StartDate DateTime DECLARE @EndDate…

Are there any ways of building crafty sql queries embedded in alerts?

jon, I'll agree that there is an obvious SNMP bug when "node monitoring" is enabled. As far as the 20 minute application startup for the previous posters: Just wait it out, once. I left my cirrus alone for a night, came back, and it was stable enough for me to disable node monitoring entirely. -JP

Chris, I can completely verify that I am using this particular automatic import tool. I've tried manual imports, automatic imports, and tuned all of the settings. It just skips rows and does not update columns.

I can also see the scalability issues associated with NT ID accounts coupled with Solarwinds accounts. While I don't personally require this feature (Smaller shop) I can see the benefit for those that do.

From a ticket I was working on yesterday, support still receives the message yet you still get an NDR 

I was inspired by someone else actually owning a nortel 3050 device, so... Enjoy! I'll post this to the content sharing zone, but I think this below will be much better for you. It will extract /cfg/dump output perfectly. <Configuration-Management Device="Alteon iSD SSL HW3050 SW" SystemOID="1.3.6.1.4.1.1872.1.11.2">…

Haley, I have found the same slow behavior with Cirrus & Cisco elements in two scenarios; Banner messages (No prompt on next line), and for some odd reason Blank lines in a configuration script snippet. Do you have blank lines in your script? Might help.. -JP

 Hmm, so sounds like having a hot standby system in a different location apart from the sql server really won't help me out at all. I know we were looking at some sort of solution that could work autonomously from the primary installation yet use the same data.

I suppose that's possible. My website is quite slow as well. Anyway, as promised: Hostname or IP address is SERVER The website URL is: http://SERVER:81/

SLA would be a great suggestion, but in the interests of scalability I ended up writing a custom icmp based nms in python for this purpose. Works -fantastic- :)

Thanks a lot, guys - I figured this out by experimenting with random applications, and I'm quite pleased I found it. In my exploratory credit, I even found it before the forum replies! Even my alerts were migrated over, so I'm quite pleased right now. Regards, JP

It's a device inventory report that just includes all of the new fields we set up - very simple stuff... It's a flat XML file and not very complicated at all. As long as the fields exist, the XML will be read. The Javascript I shared above -^ didn't actually loop through the XML so much yet, and was horribly messy. I'm not…

The reporting tool supports custom MIBs - just select the fields PollerName, OID, etc. I've got a sql query I use for polling CRC errors and duplex errors - a bit complex, but it boils down to: "WHERE CustomPollers.OID = '1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.19' AND RawStatus != 1" SELECT Interfaces.InterfaceIcon,…

Robert, in the past I've also had to remove registry entries pointing toward the site. Remove HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolarWinds\Orion\NetFlow Traffic Analyzer

After checking off the config comparison criteria options, checking my report today, I've given up on the pie charts... =(

JasonKV, I just wanted to let you know I do this sort of work all the time, especially with custom properties. I have some pretty huge sql queries and custom tables built on the Orion database, and have never had a problem. I just wouldn't recommend updating any of the GUIDs, or something like a NodeID (but you wouldn't…

Compute is creating a second result set - Solarwinds is only processing the first result set. UNION'ing the result sets (I'm trying to figure out how) might help here.

Looking at this old post I agree, the scheduled jobs issues seems to have been resolved.

Chris, this is still happening in v5 SP2. If there are more reports of this I will open a support ticket to help fix the bug.

I'm actually surprised at how small my syslog tables are, just under 20 megs... You might do fine.

There is no literature on the licensing on solarwinds.com - What are the licensing points?
