The resource seemed to be a part of the problem. Removing it has relieved the CPU load on the SQL server, but the additional web server is now very slow. Some experience, different symptoms now.

With a little digging between expensive sql queries and the IIS logs, it turns out someone added some of the network wide charts to the node details page...

I've seen this once before, and couldn't figure out what was going on. Try running a repair through add/remove programs, and if that doesn't work try downloading new bits and installing again. Ultimately i think that's how we resolved it. I mostly wanted to confirm seeing the same thing before in an upgrade from 9.1 to 9.5.

I disabled the Trigger, and now it works.

In NCM File Menu, if you Manage Users, you can provide each user's TACACS credentials there. In NCM Settings, make sure you have NCM Configured to use an individuals login credentials instead of per device.

Something like this could be modified into a custom SQL alert: This is for volumes that have 10% more percent utilization today than yesterday. Select n.Caption ,n.IP_Address ,v.Caption ,v.VolumePercentUsed ,vu.MaxPercentDiskUsed FROM Volumes v JOIN Nodes n ON v.NodeID = n.NodeID JOIN( SELECT NodeID ,VolumeID…

This has happened to me at one of our sites where we are doing some funky networking juju that I don't approve of. I'm glad to hear the upgraded package is better. I'm having to rebuild one of the pollers today that keeps konking out. Upgrading to the latest very, very soon.

This 'might' help... I've found that the polling limitation for each poller is about 1000 SNMP polls per minute. If you can tune the system to be within those specs, you should be ok. I've never had much luck with the PPS tuning. What does your hardware platform look like?

On the account management page, is the drop down selected that chooses "by device type" for interfaces? If you've created the custom view, assigned it to the interface type in Views by Device Type, you'll still want to make sure that the account has the right view settings. screencast.com/.../6Gez82pIOZO

Are you talking about moving nodes between polling engines on the same database, or are you talking about moving nodes to a new DB, as in using EOC and multiple Orions? It's my understanding of the tool that you can migrate nodes between polling engines using the same DB, but I don't think it will actually move nodes…

For anyone still following this thread, I have done some work on getting google maps into the Orion web console:

You can do this with a script monitor. This is from while ago, but if you enable DFSR on the polling server(s), then you can use that to talk to DFSR servers. The body of the script I wrote for this monitor: GIST clicky /* Notes: 1) The filepath for dfsrdiag.exe may have to be configured for each DFS server 2) Argument(0)…

I don't think you need to delete the icmp only node to get it to work. If I remember correctly, you can just go through the 'add node' procedure as if it were a new node.

It's a bit tricky if you focus on the interface as the alert object (think one alert per one interface), but what you can probably do is build a custom SQL alert for the node. This will let you build your query for the node, and have a count of interfaces down. In your advanced alert manager, choose custom SQL from the…

There isn't a way within the conventions of the Advanced Alerts to create alerts based on incoming messages such as Syslog or SNMP Traps, however you can manage trigger actions for those events using the Syslog Viewer or the SNMP Trap Viewer. For Syslog, configure trigger conditions in the Syslog Viewer on the Orion…

One thing I've done is to report on interface status where the node is up. Generally, if the node is up & the interface status is unknown, you likely have an SNMP issue.

Hi Jerermydr, The Custom Property Editor can't be installed separately. What are you trying to solve that you need this part of the suite on a different machine?

You could probably do this using the events table and an alert. As an alert trigger action, log a message to the NPM Eventlog that is explicit enough to filter on in the report. I have something similar for a memory alert here: Select Nodes.Caption AS "Node Name", Nodes.NodeID, Count(Events.EventType) AS "Count" From…

We use NPM, NCM, and FSM together for our enterprise to manage a little over 1500 devices in NCM. We actively use NCM's compliance reports, as well as FSM's PCI and security compliance reporting, NCM's comparison criteria (as best as we can), pushing scripts and configs to devices, and we're discussing change control, but…

This is crazy, but it's working today.

I just upgraded to 12.2, and when I search for IP addresses, I'm getting no results in Manage Nodes. If you use the search resource selecting IP Address, you do get results. Manage Nodes seems to be broken? Only when I search by the caption do I get results now. -Actually, Manage Nodes search isn't returning any inventory…

You can't simply combine licenses. You would need to upgrade to the next tier of license, the NPM 2000. Keep in mind, there may be room in the 500 as this tallies nodes, interfaces and volumes separately. Eg., you could have 499 nodes, 300 interfaces, and 100 volumes and still be under your 500 cap.

This is for when the built-in variables just aren't cutting it, or the information you need is beyond the event immediately at hand. Say, for example, I'm monitoring a service on a server, and when that service goes down the alert is executing a script to restart it automatically. Now, lets say that in addition to knowing…

I'd like to bump this thread again. Is there a limit to total groups and dependencies to be aware of in core 2017.x or 2018? I seem to have hit a magic number that is bringing my Orion performance below an acceptable level of usability. I have over 7800 dependencies and 1200 groups, and my Primary server is freaking out.…

Bump. Does anyone have a quick solution for this. It is misleading to see a job completed status, but then look at the details only to find that your device kicked back your snippet. What's the best way to confirm all of my devices accepted or denied my script?

Generally these would be available in your Customer Portal. Since this is a trial version, contact your sales rep and have them supply the update you need. If you're working with a channel partner, have them contact their Channel Rep.

I've found that using syslog instead of TRAPs for RTCD is a much more effective way to go about leveraging this feature. 

I had a similar problem that was resolved by manually setting the next poll / rediscovery interval "manually." This trick, for some weird reason, wouldn't work unless the next discovery was at least 8 minutes out.

What version of SAM are you seeing this?

There is a good post on making this change en mass: Howto: Updating the SMTP server and envelope sender for all advanced alerts and traps via database manager for NPM. Until this is baked into the feature set, this is a great time saver.
