GonzoUK, Here is a post about using the tab slideshow and reload every tools in Firefox.

The way I set our advanced alert here is to alert me when a UPS has been on battery for more than 10 minutes. I poll the upsBasicBatteryTimeOnBattery OID. Since my statistics collection is set to only poll every 10 minutes a value of more than 600 seconds will fire this alert. Most of our UPSs are Emerson, but we do have a…

applesmash, I've seen a similar message before and if I remember correctly, it ended up that the SolarWinds Orion Module Engine service had stopped. If you open up the Orion Service Manager (or Service from the Windows Admin tools), check to make sure all your services are running. The Orion Service Manager is under…

I think it's going to take you a few steps no matter how you do it. According to the release notes, you're going to have to upgrade to v10.0 before you can upgrade to 10.1. Although it's a bit of a pain, I would think the best way to go would be to upgrade your current server to 10.0 and then to 10.1. Once you've done the…

All of my traffic charts still look to be working in System Manager after out upgrade to v10.

Will, I'm not sure why it isn't working for you. I have several reports where I have my filter results set to hour of day (24 hour format) greater than or equal to a start time and less than or equal to a closing time and they work fine. If you could post a screen shot of your Select Fields and Filter Results tabs, I'm…

Norman, Probably the best way to get started with writing reports is to view the Report Writer video tutorial on the SolarWinds website. You can find it on the Recommended tab here: www.solarwinds.com/.../tutorials.aspx One thing to mention that you probably don't want to hear - you can't create graphs in Orion reports.…

We've just implemented IPAM within the last month, so there might be an easier way to do what you're looking to do than the following. However, I think this might get you the information you need. If you use the Subnet Allocation Wizard, you can define the supernet address as your /16 and set the desired subnet size to…

Malcolm, What issues did you run into during your upgrade? I'm still on 8.5.1 SP3 and I'm scheduled to upgrade to 9.1 Sunday morning. (I know support isn't available on the weekend, but I couldn't get approval to upgrade during business hours.) IIt sounds like we've got a similar environment to yours. We've got a main SLX…

jkovarick, If you've set up an alert that is using Custom Node Poller as the "Type of Property to Monitor" on the trigger condition tab, you should be able to use a variable that's available under the "CustomPollerStatus" section to insert the value from the polller.

By default, the executable for Network Atlas is at \Solarwinds\Orion\Network Atlas\NetworkAtlas.exe. The shortcut can be found by going to Start | All Programs | SolarWinds Orion | Alerting, Reporting and Mapping | Orion Network Atlas You can also install the Network Atlas client on your workstation. Assuming everything is…

patriot, There is an advanced SQL report in the content exchange from jtimes that pulls the amount of time a node was down for the previous month. It doesn't list interfaces, just nodes, but it might be a good report to start with. You can find the report here: Hope this helps!

rmmagow, Try reading through this post. It might help you do what your trying to do.

Jessica, I've never set it up myself, but here are a couple of ideas presented in this thread: Hope this helps!

contracer, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to monitor. Orion measures packet loss at the node level between the Orion server and the node being monitored. At the interface level, Orion receives input and output errors and discards statistics via snmp for the interfaces you selected when you added the node to…

Dan, If you're talking about Cisco devices, you can run the following command to match the interface number to the interface name: show snmp mib ifmib ifindex Of course you can "show snmp mib ifmib ifindex | inc #x" to narrow down the list. Hope this helps.

contracer, I don't know of a way to modify the Down Nodes resource to add a description, so I just created a custom property for a description and then replaced the down nodes resource with a report from report writer that shows any node with a status of warning or down and also shows the value of the description custom…

Brian, If I understand you correctly, your city/office maps have a Visio of the LAN as the background image for the map. That background image has the information you don't want to be seen by the wrong user. If that is the case, the only way I would know how to solve the problem would be to create two additional maps, one…
