johnsm, Orion uses a couple of methods to monitor up/down status and to collect statistical data (cpu, memory utilization, bandwidth utilization, etc.) Under the Network Performance Monitor Settings, you have a Polling tab and a Statistics tab. The Polling tab refers to your up/down status. That is monitored using a ping…

Someone else recently started a thread about the same thing. They said the issue is resolved in v10.1. That thread is here:
-
I don't think so (short of a database restore.) I'm under the impression that when you delete a node, all of the associated performance stats are deleted along with the node.
-
I'm not aware of any way to remove the entire banner. The only thing I know you can do is replace the Orion picture file with your own logo. I suppose you could replace it with a picture of the same color scheme that doesn't have the work Orion in it.

If SolarWinds didn't change the default view, you can look at it on their online demo: oriondemo.solarwinds.com/.../SummaryView.aspx

PaulD, I believe that is possible using the Alert Escalation tab in the send E-Mail/Page window in your Trigger Actions page. The bottom frame has a check box stating "Delay the execution of this Alert." If you check that box, you can set an amount of time that Orion will wait after the trigger condition is met before…
-
DThorne, Just a couple of things to check on your advanced alert setup. One, make sure on the trigger condition tab that you select Custom Node Poller from the drop down list for Type of Property to Monitor. Your trigger alert will key off of Poller Name is equal to the name of your poller. I think you'll use another…

Mav, Are there any plans to support Cisco ASAs that are running DHCP? We're just getting started with our IPAM roll out and I think currently IPAM is supporting Cisco layer 3 switches and routers. Also, add my name to the list of users wanting subnet discovery. For large enterprises, manually entering subnets is at best…

Riyaz, You need to add a condition group for the nodes you don't want included. Set it to trigger when any of the following apply. Then add the nodes that you don't want included in your node down alert. Hope this helps!

Bahlkris, It looks like they know about that issue. It's listed as one of the user experience tweaks they are working on post 2.0.

Paul, What version of Orion are you using? If you are running version 9 or 9.1, you can use the Universal Device Poller to create a poller to pull information from the MIB. There is a tutorial for the UnDP here: www.solarwinds.com/.../index.html Hope this helps.
-
Cornbuzzer, I believe you can do this by setting up an alert where the trigger condition is a simple condition statement (node status is equal to up) followed by a condition group. See the attached screenshot of what the trigger condition looks like. (Hopefully it attached correctly.) Kevin

GonzoUK If you open the Orion Universal Device Poller on your Orion server, you can go to File | Import Universal Device Pollers. You can do this for any UnDP you download and copy to your Orion server. This will add the UnDP you've downloaded as a defined poller. Once you have the poller in your list, you can right click…

Alex, If I'm understanding what you're saying, the custom properties don't display anywhere on the web site by default. You'll see them when you edit a node's properties, but they don't show up on the node detail page or in the inventory list. However, if you want to see the values of your custom properties, you can see…

mezdem, I was able to create a report showing both interface errors and discards. I did get an invalid SQL query error when I tried to include the node name along with the interface names. I was able to get the report to generate by including the following fields: Under Interfaces | Interface Details | Full Name. Under…

Did you enable NetFlow on any of your interfaces? The ip-flow export source only tells the switch switch interface to source the NetFlow traffic from. If you do a show ip flow interface, it will list all the interfaces you have flow statements on. To enable an inteface for Netflow, you go to config mode for the interface…

Raj, I don't know the answer to your second question, but in order for the toolset integration to work you will need to install a copy of the Engineer's toolset on your local computer. Each engineer needing the integration will need their own copy of the toolset.

borgan, I believe whichever page is listed first in the Selected Items list when you edit the Menu Bar is the page that will be displayed when you click that tab. For example, in the attached picture, I edited the Network_TabMenu menu bar and put the Network Top 10 first in the list. Now when I click the Network tab, the…

acherman, What you're asking for (along with a lot of us) is a method to suppress alerts for downstream devices. It's on the roadmap, but it doesn't look like it will be rolled out soon. See Denny's comments in this thread: You can suppress alerts yourself, but it will pretty much require an alert per device.
-
Cam, Regarding alerting, there can certainly be some challenges. As far as I've found, there currently isn't a good way to disable alerting for downstream devices. I remember reading a SolarWinds white paper or something in an admin guide at some point regarding this, but you basically had to configure a different alert…

Regarding the NTA installation requirements, they have changed. It is now possible to install NTA on an additional poller. I don't remember which version made that change, but per the admin guide you can install NTA on an additional polling engine: Installing Orion NTA Complete the following procedure to install Orion NTA.…
-
Andy, I'm not sure if this method is any less tedious than taking a packet capture, but you can try to decypher the traffic using the "show ip cache flow" command. This will give you a list of traffic from source interfaces and source IP addresses with the destination interface, ip address and port the traffic is being…
-
jimm, I believe that the Orion Transmit Discards show up under Total Output Drops, not under input or output errors when you do a show interface. If that isn't what you are referring to, the only way I could think the counts wouldn't match is if someone did a clear count on the router during the day. The transmit discards…

First make sure you've added ssh or telnet access permissions for your NCM server's IP address to the ASA. Also, if you haven't tried changing the device template the ASA is using, try that to see if it gets you connected. If you go to the properties page for the ASA and scroll down to the NCM Properties, there is a…

Goliath, You can set interfaces to unplugged by editing the properties of the interface. Go to the Manage Nodes page, find your switch and expand it to show the interfaces. Select the interface or interfaces you want to set as unplugged and click the Edit Properties button. In the General section under the Interface name,…
-
I don't know that Orion captures anything at the interface level that identifies whether the interface is a trunk or not. One thing you could do it to set up a yes/no interface custom property. Using the custom property, you could set your advanced alert trigger condition to Type of Property to Monitor - Interface, Trigger…

Tim, You can use the Hot Standby Engine to provide redundancy for your pollers. www.solarwinds.com/.../hotstandby.aspx

nlspears, No, gaps in your charts isn't normal. How many elements are you polling and how many polling engines do you have? Are you running SQL on a separate server or are is SQL installed on your Orion server? Typically, gaps in your data is due to the SQL server not keeping up with the polled data. Orion generates a ton…
-
seyrematics, While I'm certainly no SQL expert, I do see one thing I think you need to change in your query. Where you have (ResponseTime.Availability<>100), I think it needs to be changed to (ResponseTime.Availability<95) in order to get records where availability is less than 95%. I think your current statement means…

Here are links to three universal device pollers that I know of that might help you get started. These will give you an inventory of the modules in each slot, backplane utilization and fabric utilization of your 6500. Hope this helps!
