  • Agreed, great blog!
  • Andrew, My issue appeared to be the same as some of the others, where I'm unable to view any reports from the web page. You click on a report and nothing happens, the report never shows up. I forgot to mention originally that eventually you'll get an error message indicating the request timed out. I just saw another post…
  • I believe it would be, since 9.5 comes with SQL 2005 Express.
  • Has anyone noticed if SP 1 fixes the issue with viewing reports? I have to go through the whole change request hoop jumping to install service packs and haven't had a chance to go to SP 1 yet. 
  • Yeah, I don't blame you there. Ours are at a DR datacenter, but I had the chance to get all the kinks worked out before they were deployed. Even at a DR datacenter, I couldn't take them down with a good reason, change control, etc, etc. 
  • One thing I've done in the past to see if the flow is actually reaching the Orion server is to grab a packet capture on the Orion server using Wireshark. If it is actually making it to the server, you at least know the router is exporting the data properly. In order for NTA module to receive and process the flow data, the…
  • mgibson, As far as I know, adding the data format statement to the end of the URL is still the only way to export a report to Excel. We're also on v10.1.2 and it works fine on our reports. Hope this helps.
  • Lol, you sound like my wife. She's content being a passenger. I haven't ridden a Ducati....yet. :)
  • Yeah, I'm sure it won't be fixed until a service pack comes out. I think they generally use the service packs for bug fixes and add new features only with new releases. I understand your frustration with a lack of a time commitment. One way SolarWinds could address this would be to have scheduled service pack releases,…
  • I just noticed a small typo in one of Andy's IP ranges. Where he has 172.32.1.1 - 192.16.7.255, the IP End range should be 192.167.255.255.
  • The last of my 3.4 million expired IPs were cleared out this morning in just over 14 minutes. I'm currently showing 185 expired IPs. Thanks Michael and ET for all your help!
  • Well, I managed to somehow fat finger the custom number of minutes when I tried to change it from 5 to 60 minutes. So, my job kicked off at 4am this morning but only ran for 5 minutes. However, it did manage to drop me down to only having about 3.4 million expired IPs. So, I bumped up the custom number of minutes back to…
  • I'm glad you got it working. I'm not sure why you get a few servers with 100% availability in the report when you use <100, but it happens on my report too. 
  • Add me to the list (again.) I've seen where Brandon wants to ultimately take this feature request, but in the interim could we at least get the same functionality that was implemented for the snmp community strings when adding a new node? Thanks, Kevin
  • Michael, We have a pretty beefy SQL box (at least that's what the DBA's tell me, I don't have access to it.) I set the custom number of minutes to 60 and set the maintenance to run at 4am. I'll let that run tonight and see where I stand in the morning. My only real concern is we aren't the only database on the server, so I…
  • NinjaNerd56, I've been doing an evaluation of the IP SLA Manager module. The reason your operations continued to show down is because when you add IP SLA operations via snmp, the config is only written to your running config, not your start up config. That's why you lost your operations when the router rebooted. Hope this…
  • Yeah, since that ride she's pretty much good for one or two day trips max. We rode out to the top of the Blue Ridge Parkway, rode all the way down to the end, rode the dragon and then came back to Indy. Her comment was she's glad she did it but won't ever do it again. :) What kind of bike do you ride?
  • Has anyone heard when the report issue will get resolved?
  • I have to agree with Jeff that Solarwinds should have given us a heads up about the CLR Integration requirement. We have been told for quite some time now that support for custom ASP resources was going away and that everything was moving to ASP.NET. The same goes for dropping support for SQL 2000. The same should have…
  • All, Thanks for the replies. I installed SP2 Sunday morning. Like most, my NetPerfMon services didn't stop fast enough on either polling engine. Aside from that, the install went smoothly for me. Thanks again, Kevin
  • Try upgrading your switch to NX OS 4.2(1)N1(1). I believe that's the latest release. I had issues too seeing data before going to the 4.2 code.
  • Kinda, but I was mostly being a smart aleck (my wife calls it something more colorful.) I know we all have a tendancy to push you (and the rest of the Solarwinds staff) hard at times, but this was just my sarcasm getting lost in a post, since I figure asking when the next SP will be released is your most asked (and…
  • Dan, You're right, there should be some kind of notice indicating an issue with the snmp string if it isn't valid when you click the rediscover button. The problem is the green indicator doesn't really have anything to do with snmp status. The green indicator is based on the icmp polling. You can change community strings…
  • Add me to the list as well. I've been hoping for this functionality since raj512 opened the request a year and a half ago.
  • Yes, I was able to do the SQL code workaround for the report issue. I don't monitor a lot of volumes (mostly just our Orion servers) so the Volume Details issue doesn't impact me as much as others. However, for me, the Maximum Traffic Today resource seems to be giving me fits as well. I had to remove that resource as well…
  • I might be wrong, but I was under the impression that if you clicked Monitor All, it would enable many (if not all) of the unmonitored ports. See the description in this posting: Since you know that your application uses port 80 and 1935, you might be able to create a multi-port application that would label converations…
  • helinut, Was the node you selected for the test up? If so, both messages will report the current status of the node as up. The alert messages use a variable for the current node status. At this point, I'd verify your services are running and then open a support ticket.
  • Yes, that is correct, as long as 1) you have a version statement and a destination statement in your config and 2) the IP address of your source interface matches the IP address Orion is using to monitor that node. I haven't tried configuring version 9 NetFlow yet, so I'm still using version 5. My statements look like…
  • dclick, Here is a link to the UDP. I think the site is having issues with the search functionality. It looks like they are working on it. 
  • I know this is a basic question, but I normally miss the basic stuff so, did you pull the AND (DailyNodeAvailability.Availability < 100) clause out of your WHERE statement? If you post the errors that got thrown, I'm sure someone on here would be able to help you make it work (it just might not be me.) My SQL-fu isn't the…
