O' I get what you are saying, and it wouldn't have to be something formal, just an idea starter type section. Thanks for your response.

It would be cool if the Solarwinds Team came up with some cool custom HTML to add in too.

Does anyone know an affective way to automate a download of this image for display. I've got my site set up to use https, so I keep getting that annoying message about "Do you want to display the nonsecure item?"

I'm getting strange errors too. I thought an upgrade from 8.5 to 9 might fix it, but no go. Orion Website Error An error has occurred with the Orion website. Additional Information System.Web.HttpException: Error executing child request for /Orion/ProxyHost.aspx. ---> System.Web.HttpUnhandledException: Exception of type…

Yes. It doesn't work for me. I'm still using 7.8. They might have updated it in 8.1. 

Map maker is sometimes a little cumbersome to work with. A rewrite of that piece would be greatly appreciated. For instance, I'd love to be able to select all nodes on a map and change their icon at one time. One of my maps has 110 nodes on it, and to try and change one at a time takes forever. Next would be more layouts…

Not really. Just a basic cgi script, or a vb script will do the trick. I'd like for it to run on the server, not the client. josh kemp EDS

That is true, but they already follow the paradigm with Orion. Most of these things are on the public net for free. I was just hoping for something that could be intigrated into our current internal monitoring/management system. I mean the Banner does say Network Management Tools. If they want to sell more licenses for…

I have the engineer's addition. If they want to keep those tools separate, then how about a web plug-in to my current website? I'm not asking for rocket science here...

I'm also seeing the problem. I'm glad to know that I didn't screw something up for a change. Hopefully they'll have a fix soon.

I know, but I don't want to have to plug in Kiwi or another syslog server. The account I work on is very tight on security, and every time we decide to implement another piece of software, we have to go through an extensive security sweep, and approval process. It would just be nice to have something simple collect…

I've looked at the Alerts table, and no column is listed with the word SMTP in it. I've also looked at the AlertActions table. Any other ideas?

Try using a MIB Tree browser. If you get anything back, then its an issue with Orion. If it times out, then your issue is network or server. I can't see your environment, so it could be anything at this point. josh kemp EDS

You have to set up communities and hosts. If you don't, default is usually hosts equal to all and communities of public and private. Also you must stop the Windows SNMP service and set it to disabled. Then you can try and start Net-SNMP.

This happens to me also. Personally I think Microsoft did a poor job building the SNMP engine. You might need to switch to the Net-SNMP agent. you can download it at ftp.freesnmp.com/.../ Look for, net-snmp-5.3.1-1.win32.exe It's the latest version. josh kemp EDS

From what I've seen, your real place for problems will be if you try to upgrade/fresh install or Solarwinds. I had a problem with the creation of the Component Services piece. I recommend you also be careful with the registry settings. Those are the hardest to back out. Those are my experiences from a Windows 2000…
