Hi Fauzan, Thank you for the update. We are getting there; the screen capture in the first post was showing a failed login attempt to ipMonitor while the last screen capture of the last post shows that we are trying to go to the proper page: http://localhost/UserPages/test.aspx - If you create a web page of your own: For…

Tomaz, That would be nice to do an import as you are describing. Another option available now is to create a custom macro - which is nothing more than a field in the database - and use this as your common criteria field for the target nodes. This can be done through the Cirrus Settings in the Custom Macro section. I think…

Tomaz, Nice picture by-the-way. :-) Stephen

Make sure you are using curly brackets not parenthesis. I have used it with https:// many times. SAM

Hi Fauzan, According to your email, first, I have to remove port 8080 from the list above (please correct me if I'm wrong), then Run the ipMonitor Multi-status configuration tool again and set the connection to the ipMonitor server to use the HTTP port by default 8080. But after I had removed the port 8080 from the picture…

It is absolutely possible to nest a map in a higher level map. When using Map Maker, first create your lower level map - the map that has your nodes on it - like a network closet or rack. Then create the higher level map that you want to nest into - such as a building map (or whatever). Drag the first map from the…

Ralph, I have to admit I have read your last post over several times and I am confused what exactly you are wanting to be the true condition. I think you want an alert that fires when either (custompollername=pollername1 and custompollerstatus=0) or (custompollername=pollername2 and custompollerstatus=3). If my…

Its been a few months... any progress on MPLS Tag information?

This sounds like a permissions issue. When you are creating the SQL database, try creating it in the default SQL location like <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data or another location you are certain you have access to create a file. I ran into this same issue very recently. SAM

It there any way to have have several maps one page? You can add more than one map resource in a summary view. This would show multiple maps on one web page. Do this in Manage Views in the Admin option on the website. Hope this helps.

 Click on the resource title and it will detach.

We are also amazed that this issue has not been resolved since 2008. We just purchased the product and one of the main features we required was functional email based reports. Now we find out after the purchase the system is completely broken as far as links embedded in the messages. VERY disappointing ... Further after…

As for searching for the MAC address. You can do that today by adding the Search for Interfaces resource on your summary page. This is like search for Nodes but pulls from the Interfaces table which contains the MAC address of all monitored interfaces. Hope this helps.

You may want to go to your Windows Services and look at how SQL server is listed. If it is listed like "SQL Server (SQLExpress)" then your SQL instance name is hostname\sqlexpress (or whatever is in parenthesis). If you installed SQL 2005 Express, the default instance name is SQLExpress. Good Luck, SAM

 Orion user passwords are managed in the Account Manager in the Admin option in the Orion website. Any user with Admin privileges can change user passwords for other users.

Try using ${IP_Address}. This should work. Regards, SAM

Have you tried changing the alert action to execute c:\test1 (leaving off the .bat). It seems I've run into something like this before. Looking through some notes...

Tomaz, Glad it worked for you. I'm not sure I fully understand your question. I believe you want to now correct the issue you found on the 29 nodes. The easiest way it to execute a command script on these nodes. From the Nodes drop-down menu choose "Execute Command Script". In the top half of the screen you designate which…

John - we did have fun working together on your stuff. I have recently moved from Corona and now work at SolarWinds building their worldwide training and services program. We still work with Corona as one of our two authorized training and services partners. We have lots of changes coming to the way training and services…

 Yes you can add SNMP Status to a report. It is available under the Discovered Properties in the field list of the report tool.

Hi Nick, Here is more information on the alerting (email process) for ipMonitor: With ipMonitor, the email alerting process works as follow: If you specify a mail server in the "Optional SMTP relay server" field of the System settings" page (available from the Configuration tab, ipMonitor will try to use this mail server…

Any timeframe yet on GET/POST? I see it in the help-files but not under advanced alerting.

You can also sort by custom node properties in node lists web resources in summary views as well as in the Orion System Manager. Custom properties are a great way to make Orion fit your environment as well as group nodes for alerting (Advanced Alerts) and reporting. - SAM

Hi Doders, Have you been working with a sales rep or SE to-date? I'm trying to determine who might best be able to help you, so if you would shoot me an email with your contact info, we can get you all squared away. Best, Russ (russell dot briggs at solarwinds dot net)

 Are both Orion servers pointing to the same Orion database?

Hi Bofh1234, Two options are available. 1- Migrating to ipMonitor 7 and then upgradig to ipMonitor 8.5 Note: You would have to contact the technical support team and aks for help in order to do this one. This would allow you to migrate most of the Monitors, Groups and Alerts to ipMonitor 8.5. Keep in mind that since…

Clint, The easy option is to add another NIC to the database and polling engine server configuring them with a separate network without a default gateway. Then connect them with a crossover cable. While technically feasible, it is arguable that this may breech the security that is the reason for the air gap since the…

Hi Korereactor, In response to your post. Are you trying to upgrade an ipMonitor 8.5 installation that resides on a Windows 2000 host? If so, there might be an issue with Windows 2000. We have on hand a new dll that might help with this issue. You may want to contact our Support team in order to work on this issue.…

Jim, You can do exactly what you are proposing by adding the User Defined Links resource (under Miscellenous) to your Node Detail view. In one of the links you can use the following: http://${IP_Address}:1187 as an example (use any port you wish). I will usually also set this to open in a new window. This only works on a…

Hi Fauzan, Is the IIS server where you are tyring to create the Multi-status view page located on the same system as ipMonitor 8.5? If so, and according to your description, it seems that there might be a conflict of ports, ipMonitor 8.5 is listening on port 443 and the Multi-status page is trying to connect to the web…
