Looked at the DB, try using SQL statement that grabs Interfaces.InterfaceLastChange and calculates > 14 days old AND Interfaces.Status field = <whatever is down>. This will give you interfaces down > 14 days. There may be an easier way, but this is off the top of my head.

I would think you'd have to write up a SQL script that took the last status change to down and have it calculate time since down (if there is not a field for that, which there might be). Create an advanced alert that runs the script every 8 or 9 hours (thats the max allowed I think), and have it send an email or perform…

took me a while to figure out, but if you are trying to copy a label (like a macro label ${Caption} , you have to copy then do paste and you will get a little "paste board" icon. You must associate the new label to an object, so you have to paste it to an object (put mouse on object, then paste). Map to Map, no idea what…

if you go into system manager, you can right click on a node and delete. you can not select multiple nodes though.

One of the other threads: www.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp recommended 15GB+ for 15 netflow nodes. It will really depend on the number of interfaces reporting flows as well. I had 10 flows running on my Inet routers and my DB size grew to 50GB (10x) from around 5 after a few days. It was then relatively slow growing…

if it is hub and spoke, you could collect only from the hub side out. You would see the same data as on the spoke side in. if you are meshed, you obviously wouldn't be able to do that.

Yea, I did see that, but it is not what I am looking for. That post is refering to NPM system manager, my issue is on the MAPs. On objects assigned custom graphics on the MAPs, interface down indications are a very small red dot on the bottom right of the graphic. I want to be able to use something else as this is easily…

I think allowing custom MIBs would rock. anyone could do anything they needed. completely customizable. Doesn't get any better than that! Larry

thanks all. I just found the report editor interface!

been a while for me too, but check your admin tools -> iis manager -> verify the solarwinds site is primary. right click on solarwinds instance and check permissions...?

Hmmm... RTM.. SQL can be entered directly into a Report only by designing a new Report using the Advanced SQL Reports option. The SQL query generated by Report Writer can be viewed for any Report by selecting Report4Show SQL from the menu, which adds a view-only SQL tab to the Design window. Thought I tried it, but maybe…

I loaded the newest beta release of Orion and can get in now. FYI

I saw the same. Also, when I try to open NetPerfMon, it can not connect to Orion.

I'm having the same issue. I have a main map, then sub-maps for my switch fabric. The sub-map has the switch objects on that map and child status shows issues, but this does not propigate up to the parent map. Any thoughts? Thanks

click on the device and see if there are any events/alerts associated with it.

I upgraded with no issues. I also currently have SQL on the orion box and a separate polling engine. I will be off-loading the SQL in a few months. I also tested netflow on the same box and it can't be done. In my book, you must absolutely run that on a different box, and/or must run SQL on a separate box.

Also, this will depend on the amound of data being pulled from SQL and the size of the "top level" map you are loading. If you have a background image, ensure that it is a .jpg or something and keep the size minimal. If your DB server is running on the same machine, you might not have enough RAM, and the number of disks…

Thats a great question. I know you can use labels to get more information using macros... see: www2.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp Displaying more information on maps by: ianp

thanks for the reply. I'll let you know if I get it working.

good point. not necessarily the goal, but maybe livable, as they would all be admin ports, and I could use NAM or something for top talkers...but definitely a good point.

Think I got it. Right click device and select 'List Resources'. Deselect Interfaces you are not concerned with. In Map Maker and on MAPs they go away.

Thanks for the reply. appreciate the info. I'll play with the DB.

Yea, I tried that. apparently, I'm not patient enought Thanks

I believe you would do this on a per interface basis. In the system manager, right click on the interface you want to edit. At the top, you have transmit and receive bandwidths you can adjust. Does that work for you? Larry.

glad to help.

If you are trying to suppress the Trigger action for 30 minutes after the alert (and the alert still exists), you would do this by editing the alert, edit the trigger action, and there is a checkbox at the bottom "delay trigger" Larry

yes, they'll need to be separate, because the alert will already be triggered/active, and therefore won't trigger again until reset (for a given object).

I would open a quick TAC case on this. I was able to set up ingress and egress flow on my devices (at least with new code). 38xx w/ 12.4.xx on my interface ip flow ingress ip flow egress

try looking at the reports section. If that doesn't do it, you can generate custom reports fitting your needs using the report writer. Larry.
