i opened about five tickets yesterday and have never seen that myself.

i use it and like it (based on nearly 25 years of experience in networking - i know a good thing when i see it).

I agree!!!! I think I've read that the next update will allow for that, but I really don't know those details.

Try to highlight that group [ Unknown(4) ] and then it will present those 4 items in a list. The button to DELETE is greyed-out at this point, so place a check in each box besides their names and then click DELETE (its in the far right corner above) and then they should go away. If they don't then I'd assume there's some…

UPDATE I did find an older APM MONITOR (circa v2) which is named Windows Event Log Count it has a vbscript to do this but I can't get it to work. Do I need to open a support case on this?

Zak, i think you could probably make use of the Cisco MIB named CISCO-HSRP-MIB and Orion UnDP (Universal Device Poller) here is where to find details on Cisco http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?objectInput=1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.106.1.2.1.1.13&translate=Translate&submitValue=SUBMIT with UnDP build each OID and…

UPDATE: I got the Log Generation Checkpoint Depth being monitored now with APM (WMI). = BUT = I NEED to know how to monitor the Information Store (Exchange's database) for when it is 'mounted' or 'dismounted' - anyone have any ideas?

just a thought, but could you make a series of reports in Report Writer and filter on those with channels equal IDLE, channels equal CONNECTED, and etc. Report Writer has that feature to dynamically publish something like these reports into the Orion web site. you might have a page for just CVP GATEWAYS: Report 1 - IDLE…

i came across this same issue and what worked for me is going into the Sys Mgr interface, navigating to the node, expanding the node and where it has a blue-unknown-icon for that interface, i right click it & select delete and it takes it off the web site too.

I use APM to do this by using a custom monitor for the Event Log Monitor. And using Advanced Alerts. Log Source: MSExchangeIS Mailbox Event ID: 1101 Event Type: Error Keywords: "Error", "Database" .......................this is for the UNMOUNT Then for the MOUNT it is: Event ID: 9523 Event Type: Information Keywords:…

Here's a report I use - hope this helps. The FILTER for 10.16x.x.x is for my own use. SELECT TOP 10000 Nodes.Caption AS NodeName,SysLog.IP AS Source_IP_Address,SysLog.Hostname AS Hostname,SysLog_SysLogSeverities.SeverityName AS Severity,COUNT(SysLog.Message) AS COUNT_of_Message FROM ((SysLog INNER JOIN SysLogFacilities…

which version of Orion are you on? NPM 9.5 SP5 is the latest. i seem to recall a similar issue like yours. i had to apply a SP (service pack) to fix my problem. good luck!

I've been trying to build NETFLOW reports and they either never finish or I have to stop Report Writer so I can do other things. Can anybody w/Solarwinds respond as to why NetFlow reporting is so difficult? I'm trying to do trending for a single month and it seems hopeless to get the report made.

i don't know of any freeware reporters to do this but in the past i've used something called COMPUTER ASSOCIATES (aka CA) Unicenter Web Traffic Analyzer. it served this purpose well. it would make these reports from Solarwinds Orion's IIS "LOG" files. but this CA product is now obsolete for us and we've gone to a new…

Would selecting this report template be better to get a percent usage - percent available, rather than by bytes?

. . . bump . . . need help!

just reviewed mine and it works OK w/Orion v9.0 SP2 and IE 7 ...i'm just curious, but if you're using IE 7, in your IE settings, do you have your tab for CONTENT set disabled for auto-complete? ...that is my suspect to cause something like this with FORMS.

I see something similar in my Orion. My first UNK group (12 count) is all ICMP and the next is all SNMP in UNK states (3 count).

have you tried to use System Manager to navigate to the router, delete that interface, perform List Resources, re-add the interface then right click the router and do Node Refresh? my guess it lost the Interface index and just needs a rediscovery on that one interface.

it's not a TOP 10 view but here's a report you might like to publish into Orion. those with NODES.REGION will need to be adjusted to your site's Custom Node Properties. it shows all Windows servers with 10% to 0% available disk space remaining (it doesn't include swap for this particular report). SELECT Nodes.DNS AS DNS,…

I feel your pain. I just recently got this working but later did not use it after all. However, the only difference I spot with mine is that it worked for me with a share name, for instance. \\testserver\newshare\sunguide and did not work with D$ \\testserver\D$\SunGuide the value returned by STATISTIC ends up being…

OVERVIEW: I’d like to see the NODE STATUS LEGEND float or something, rather than stay at the bottom of the page, because as you scroll a large overview page (hundreds of nodes) you have to move the page back and forth to retrieve a translation of the object’s color/status. I think OVERVIEW is being underutilized. Why not…

we have a lot of ACLs spread throughout and a majority of our 'discards' on interfaces are due to this (ACL discards), especially on our vpn links. it's too bad we can't associate these two for filtering and get what is a true discard. i guess the MIB read by Solarwinds is the answer whether it is dropped by ACLs, errors,…

I don't think it exists today. It is needed.

i think i found it, but its kinda misleading the way it is named by Interface Type and this may be because of some RFC. i guess i'll live with it unless someone at Solarwinds speaks out about this. it involves switch modules with port names GigabitEthernet and/or Port. Solarwinds calls a GigabitEthernet switch-port as…

I don't think you can load just any MIB into Solarwinds. I believe they need to have that MIB file and incorporate it into their common MIB.CFG file. From what I've read they are very accommadating to get these integrated quickly into Orion if you provide the MIB file. However, I notice they already have some Atrica MIBs…

not sure if this would work, but maybe it's an idea to get you (and me) started. i'll try to get around to testing it for myself. but how about using the variable ${SQL:_____} and build a conversion formula inside it to do your conversion of bytes to gigabytes? i'd have to test this out, but it seems to me that it could…

If your sole quest is to find how long a node was down then you might want to download these resources and study them or compare them to your own coding. The Thwack user named GOB has done this already and I use it on my Orion web server and it is super and works great. He also includes one for Interfaces Down.

I wonder, would an SQL filter in your INTERFACES WITH HIGH PERCENT UTILIZATION view work with a filter like this? NOT (OutPercentUtil > 101 OR InPercentUtil > 101)

IDEA: Would it suffice to use this report and place it into Orion's Report Scheduler for the 1st day of each month to be emailed? SELECT Engines.ServerName AS ServerName, Engines.LicensedElements AS LicensedElements, Engines.Elements AS Elements, Engines.Nodes AS Nodes, Engines.Interfaces AS Interfaces, Engines.Volumes AS…
