  • If you are referring Maintenance Plans, see the following posts. If this is what you are looking for, comment on them and maybe it will get added.
  • If I am looking at the correct screen, we are monitoring 31 ports.
  • I am walking the MIB from ORION & Whats UP Gold. This issue is that the OIDs do not become "active" until you actually register the SNMP Alerting Module within RighthFax. "They get loaded" (installed), but do not actually interact with RightFax until the Module is enabled. That is why I am getting "unsupported OID". This…
  • My mistake you want to add user link. Once added to the view, you then have to go to each device and update the link to the image, or you update 1 device and then update SQL directly. You can create a new website off your ORION Web server, "DeviceImages" and point it to the location of the images. You would then update the…
  • APM 60 NTA - Where do I find that number at?
  • Is there any update on this? I am having the exact same issue.
  • You are correct, Orion queries SNMP start values to determine uptime, which is faulty. Do a search for a utility called UPTIME. You can put it in a batch file and write the resuluts to a test file. Or you could invest more time to dump the results to SQL. This may provide you a more accure UPTIME result than ORION. We…
    in Device Uptime Comment by justty May 2010
  • We created 2 views: Admin - Manage Views (Copy the Node Details) We have Node Details - nonWindows & Node Details - Windows On the Windows Detail we removed CPU Load and Memory utilization. Then we added just CPU Load - Radial Gauge Once this is done go to Admin -Views by Device Types Change the view for all nonWindows…
  • If you are unable to find a product that would do this, then you may want to use autoit. You specify the application name/Window Title (My Application - Windows Internet Explorer) Tell the mouse to click in an xTab1,yTab1 coordinate or issue key stroke (depends because x,y will change based on screen resolutions) Initiate…
  • ivantsui. What version are you running on RightFax and which card. Here is my environment: RightFax 9.4 with the SR140-FOIP SoftCard I have been looking at the same issue. When I MIB Walk, I do not see 1.3.6.1.4.1.3529.x in the list. If I do a MIB Browse, I can get to the 1.3.6.1.4.1.3529.x OID section, however, if I try…
  • I am on 9.5 SP4, I found this in the admin guide. Monitoring Windows Server Memory When Orion NPM polls a Windows server for CPU load and memory utilization, it pulls the amount of physical memory (this is the 100% number) and then it totals the amount of memory in use by each allocation to compute what percentage of the…
  • In Lotus Notes I can create a single mail file and assign multiple email addresses to it. I then can create rules based upon content in the subject or the body, the sender, etc and then choose to forward that email to another e-mail address. Since I am a Notes Admin I can only speak of this environment. Doesn't…
  • You could split your paging: Email pages go to ServerX & SMS goes to ServerY We loaded SMTP on our ORION Server, so if the mail server dropped, we would still get alerts.
  • I edited the C:\Inetpub\SolarWindsNPM\Orion\NetPerfMon\nodepopup.aspx file to remove the memory information. We find this useless, as it represents Physical+Virtual Memory. I removed this section of code: <%if (Node.MemoryUsed != -2) {%> <tr> <th>Memory Used:</th> <td><npm:MemoryUsed runat="server" ID="MemoryUsed" /></td>…
  • We did not use Orion. We had multiple Data Centers throughout the country and these devices monitored multiple items. Water, Power/Generator Power, Noise, Heat, Motion, etc. The unit itself then made the call when a sensor was tripped. We had history of a Data Center getting water in it because the bathroom was on the…
  • APM 4.0.1 is what I am running. This is the version that was downloaded off their site for testing. You are correct, it is APM health that is not reporting up to the Group and Dependencies Health icon. I will shelf the demo for now. Maybe in another year I will pick it up. Since no one else seems to think this is a flaw, I…
  • Called support. For an unknown reason, the 9.5 upgrade failed to associates my nodes with the poller server. Tech reassigned the nodes to the poller server and everything is working now.
  • I found this on 1 server so far. I sent Brandon Shopp an email, as we have an open case with him regarding the "flaws" we have identified in ORION. We believe that this SQL table/ORION should never accept a negative number for CPU. What good is ORION if it is showing "bad" data. We believe the data should go through an…
  • So why don't you (Orion Solarwinds) create a service to do this? I see this as a short coming in your application. You are telling me I need to buy a second product to monitor your product? 
  • I have upload my monitoring scripts. made the changes as described in the txt file.
  • When I walk my XenServer this OID is not located. I only get 38 OID's returned. When I try to create an UnDP based off this OID and assign it to the server, I get "No such Name"
  • My first 2 are set to Show Worst Status, last one is set to blink. I also updated the roll up mode on the Group. Still seeing green for the group, yet SQL is still down

  • I have been looking into this and here is what I found. Create the 2 views you want. The standard and custom views, then assign the standard view to the Node Detail view. You will need to review the Database to determine the ID number for your custom view. Open the standard view for your system (look at the…
  • I am currently following up on issues that we have had with Orion and this is on my list. What is the issue with "diskperf -yv issue on Windows 2000."? Do i need to run this command on those systems?
  • I requested this feature almost a year ago, I talked with a SolarWinds Rep about it, and got that it is on a feature list, but not enough demand for it. Was told to get another monitor, or implement multiple pollers. This was not an option for us, so I created the free VBS script that was listed above. We are a small shop,…
  • Be careful of using last boot time. I submitted a ticket to Solarwinds about this, because it is misleading. Orion is pulling a value from SNMP which is reset when the server is restart OR if the SNMP services crashes or is manually restarted.
  • You could install this: www.sensaphone.com/ims_4000.php They can even monitor NON-UPS\Generator outlets. So if power drops, the unit will alert. We used these at out remote DC locations throughout the US. I believe they can also will send SNMP Traps.
  • I had to expidiate this issue. Here was tech support answer: "You can change the column varchar(xxx) number, but it will be unsupported. Also during a DB upgrade it may change the value back or fail, since it is not at varchar(100). The best solution is to submit a feature request" Here is what I did: I set it to…
