Does that account exists within Orion, if not just add it...

Very easy: as Admin go to Costumize Views, select Create. Click the + sign to add. Under Miscellaneous check User Defined Links for web links or Custom HTML or Text for Text. Just don't get all the way done without 1. Previewing it 2. saving it as a new name... Then you will have to add your new veiw to the menu bar. John…

quote:Originally posted by pblatz Biggest issue I have is Web response. I have found that removing the All Nodes View from the Network Summary page (Home) speeds up the Web response significantly.

Steve - you can add a custom property to the nodes or interfaces you don't want to see this from and then build a filter with that custom property under the "Nodes with Problems" like this: customproperty<>"value/word" Sample: Interface Custom Property is ServerPort and servers = Yes Interfaces.ServerPort<>"Yes" Be sure to…

I think this is what you are looking for: Remove my comments that are bold and inside of these { } Advanced SQL query: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SELECT TOP 10000 Nodes.Caption AS NodeName, Nodes.Location AS Location, Interfaces.InterfaceSpeed AS Interface_Speed,…

cloud... there are several cloud icons some scale/display better than others. Generally anything smaller than 20x10 is going to show up as a circle. Network Devices - Cloud, X.25 Devices - Cloud1 Shapes - HollowCloud2, HollowCloud2Black, HollowBlack

okay... Which Icon group are you trying to use? Are you creating the map(s) on the server via RDP or Terminal Services? or are you using remote admin? Either way try resizeing your desktop to match the servers display settings when you edit the map and save it. John J. Times

What Icons are you using? If you size them to small in map maker, they display as dots on the web page. Have you tried to re-sized the icons just a little bit larger?

get the URL of the report you want ran, then just add &DataFormat=XLS to the end of the URL

I'm not sure if you have to still do this, but have you updated the Schema's?

1.Can we create a ''Monitor only"" login for certain users so that they can just see the Network Map (coz i dont want the operations guys to edit and play around with the settings) Two part answer here: Yes, you can define a Menu Bar that has only a Map view and assign those users to that Menu Yes. There is a check box…

updateing the link stated above, www4.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp John J. Times

Try this: Trigger if ALL apply Production = Yes Node status>=2 Last Reboot HAS CHANGED

if you find a forum link that points to "www2" change the link in your browser to www4

OUCH...I would have prefered to explained a gap in the data, than to explain this:

MC, Check two posts down from this one: I haven't tried it yet, but in theory looks do-able.

I also see polling occasionally going out to unmanaged nodes. I only unmanaged nodes that are due to be repaired after several days or weeks, depending on the issue. If a node has been permanently removed from the network it gets deleted from Orion. I honestly don't think that Orion was ever intended to be used as an…

go back to where you put the custom value and keep adding 0 until it shows up on the mini preview underneath, (you'll have to hit preview, then design to see it down below) then grab the edge, like in Excel and make it a reasonable size.

The "fault" could be on or right at your Orion server itself, I'm not definitively stating it is, but could be several issues occurring. Things to check: Orion server NIC driver and version / configuration & corresponding switch port config (Speed/Duplex), look for layer1 through 3 issues as well as high levels of…

What is your collect statistics frequency in Orion? Basically its an average over time. In real time you have one sample divided by 1: (80/1=80); where as if your collect statistics frequency is 5 minutes and the Time Period is the last hour its just a few more samples (roughly 288 samples), and thus the average is lower.…

Add a Custom Property to the nodes that your client wants to view on one page, then Create a Custom View; simple way is to copy an existing view that has the resources and add a Filter to each resource that equals the Custom Property.

Be careful what you wish for, depending on your environment, this could be a significant amount of data. First check your Events retention time frame on the Orion server (Admin> Database Details> Retain Events Take the report of "Last 250 Events" modify it to show all records and change the timeframe for last month, or…

SQL dba NOT as well, but try this on line 6 UPDATE NODES SET AlertsPerHour = (SELECT Count(*))

You mean the Monitor Polling Engines ran from the Orion Server? I wouldn't trust that its been flakey (at best) since Ver 7. If your not missing polling data on your nodes that are assigned to that engine, it hasn't stopped. 

Check under Admin>Account Lists, and in the last column (Report Folder) do you have \Reports If not then edit your account; Report folder setting is near the bottom Then check your Orion server to make sure that the Reports are in C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\Reports

What are you attempting to alert on in NCM? The only alerting in NCM is for configuration changes. Have you performed the prerequisites? Configuration Change Alerts | NCM |SolarWinds

That is still a pain in the a** compaired to V7 John J. Times

You could add Interfaces.Status=2 or: Use the existing Down Interfaces resource and add a filter that will take out nodes that are down or un-managed. Nodes.Status=1

There are several threads on the Forum that cover this, but here is an SQL for the report your looking for SELECT Nodes.StatusLED AS Status_Icon, Nodes.IP_Address AS IP_Address, Nodes.Caption AS NodeName, Nodes.Location AS Location, Nodes.Comments AS Comments FROM Nodes WHERE ( (Nodes.Comments IS NOT NULL) AND…

 You have to put the table names and a period then colum (exactly like its defined in the table) The body of the message: ${Volumes.FullName} volume is at ${Volumes.VolumePercentUsed}. Total disk capacity is ${Volumes.VolumeSize} Here are the colums in the Volumes table: NodeID VolumeID LastSync VolumeIndex Caption…
