Yup, it's the t icon.

Can you share what you are doing with your report? I don't understand the constraint you are asking for. I may be able to write you a sql report based on this =)

Do these work with the same nodes? I don't want to enter data twice. 

The URL for the NCM integration is very sensitive - I don't remember if it wanted the http or not. I was having this same problem, but I was able to fix it by carefully making sure I was putting in the correct URL (with or without http:// uri) and I was using a username/password recognized my NCM. I'll check it out…

The report 'current percent utilization - top 25 interfaces' looks editable enough for your needs. I too do not see a way to edit the module, but perhaps a custom report would work well for you.

I have one 3.0 and one 3.1 environment, upgrading both to 4.x next year.

I don't know about netflow, but checkpoint's SNMP is configured on the nokia IPSO, and you'll have to allow snmp polling to the checkpoint cluster IP as a firewall rule - two steps. The checkpoint OIDs provided in the universal device poller work fine.

Thanks, Jeff! This looks just like what I use as well, just wanted to verify this for others on the forum. 'mls netflow sampling' also helps on some of our SVIs if we're missing some statistics - this often happens. -JP

This has been a common topic on the forums. As of this time, there are no 'monitor only' options for interfaces or nodes. I have the same problem =( I just want to watch bandwidth and errors on server-facing ports, but I don't really care if they're up or down.

The custom property fields are only overwritten when you write to them as an administrator, or I suppose if any external sql program writes to them. They are stable, and aren't ever overwritten by anything. By default the only way for them to be updated is for you to go into the custom property editor and manually work…

Start\Prog\Solarwinds Orion\Monitor polling engines. Servers, Monitor polling engines. This should pop up a node management page where you can change pollers from one database to another, but also offer an option to delete the empty poller if you are no longer using it. "Polling Engines\Delete unused polling engines"

I think this happens because the gig ports on the switches report 100Mbit when they're down from IF-MIB, and when they're up they change to gig. I see this as well and just ignore it as background noise.

Here's something I started some basic work on, written entirely in Javascript. This just uses the google maps API and runs over HTTP. I set it up to work as a basic HTTP resource. It uses an XML report from orion for its data source. Very lightweight, very portable. No client software needed! Here's the source!! It's…

Rane, someone here may correct me if I am wrong, but I think the historical alerts are kept by node GUID and Node ID. Changing the IP address is one field in the Nodes table, but the traffic stats table works based off of the GUID of the Node ID. Can you describe the problem you had when you were changing the IP address?…

Try a universal device poller set up for the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.147.1.2.2.2.1.2 http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&translate=Translate&objectInput=1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.147.1.2.2.2.1.2 Row 2 of this OID should totalOpen connections. Specific Object Information…

Remove the EnableIdentifier item from your template?

Chris, I've only been able to do this using advanced SQL queries. I can provide you an example report if you like. -JP

Do an snmpwalk with net-snmp, and see if you can pull up any mibs that the device knows about. I see the mib definitions are found at http://www.powerware.com/UPS/Connectivity/Firmware_Flash_Utilities.asp?CC=1 Another MIB definition - thanks, solarwinds!: http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs/XUPS-MIB/raw.aspx (raw mib output)…

Rob, the following values are set when the interface is "not present" for an interface. I haven't ever seen the issue on a node, so I'm not sure what to tell you. By 'Not present', I'm assuming that the system manager displays a "?" icon beside the interface name. This happens to me sometimes when I change from isl to…

Rob, will checking the Interface.Status = unknown work for you?

The alert looks good. Is it possible that it's actually disabled, or your triggers aren't firing?

acherman, this looks doable with a custom resource - you can embed SQL in the ASP.NET source code for any resource. Unfortunately, I've lost all my examples as upgrades of orion have deleted my resources, but there may be some generic examples available online.

I have the same problem with every one of my jobs. I've ended up deleting all of my scheduled tasks from Windows task scheduler, and tried to create them all again. Cirrus 4.0.1 created the scheduled tasks, they run, but none of them actually show up in the Cirrus console, just the scheduled tasks - which are all unusually…

I'm sure the problem is somewhere else, never mind. It seems I can't delete my own post.

Well, first off, it would not be a problem using Flash on Orion, I would welcome the change. However, I feel that the resources on the solarwinds side developing a new flash interface would be better spent on working on core functionality, things that are legitimate problems. Converting the currently dynamically generated…

If you're worried, use the snmp-server ifindex persistent command on Cisco IOS - although the previous post is correct in that solarwinds will just figure it out on its own. I've rebooted devices after removing linecards, changing the ifIndex of all of the interfaces. Solarwinds always seems to sort it out.

flipv, Part of the problem with using smtp as an sms transport is that internet connectivity may be down and that very alert that you wanted will not be delivered. NotePage allows you to directly use a cellphone or other device to send an SMS message straight to the destination without having to rely on internet…

I recommend renaming your NetPerfMon or orion folder (to back it up) and running the web config wizard again. This should tidy up the folder structure and rebuild the iis metabase. I always [safely] do this whenever I have odd phantom issues.

The MIBs themselves from my testing have been converted to tables, so adding '.0' and '.1' on these mibs finds the desired result for these custom properties. -I haven't ever found solarwinds reporting on serial numbers or any other physical entities to be reliable, even on VSS.
