  • oh, i continue to have this problem, but only with 3.0.x (See my first thread about this issue here ) although i have not had a single 3.5.x act like yours. i'm waiting for next month (i hope) when NPM 9.5 (?) hopefully will fix my ESX issue. it really looks bad to my management group when reviewing our ESX reports. CPU…
  • Are you looking for RAM utilization ? If so then try this one ${PercentMemoryUsed}
  • Just curious - Do each of you also have Netflow Traffic Analyzer on your 'VMware' polling engine? Plus are you doing - SYSLOG and SNMP TRAPS - on that same server? I'm having to justify (for budgeting) new 'physical' servers mostly because of NTA, one server with high performance disks with Raid 1-0 but management wants to…
  • I would not think Solarwinds could poll that file unless you attempt to use Orion APM in some way to read the contents and manipulate it in a way to generate a syslog event .etc. then build a trending report with Report Writer. It would require some work to do this. Have you looked into using Cisco's EEM - Embedded Event…
  • Check out this thread. The bottom line is - it's an issue with the version of ESX.
  • i just built a seperate test view and placed both of these into it and they both displayed fine. but still leaves my question - why in my primary Managed View (NETWORK SUMMARY) would it not display both of these gauges?
  • i'd like to have this as well. i've been searching myself but have not found anything. what a gem this would be - we found major issues recently but had to telnet into the switch to get this same info.
  • MY OPINION We have the ‘unlimited’ SLX license but you definitely have to balance that out with hardware on Orion and the hardware for SQL. We use two servers – Orion and Orion’s SQL. At first I was reluctant to monitor every switch port but after Orion offered a ‘unpluggable’ feature for port monitoring it helped make…
  • Opened Case #264229, which is now moved to Development.
  • I just ran a report using REPORT WRITER - Top 20 APPLICATIONS for a specific Netflow enabled interface from yesterday's date and for business hours and then ran the equivalent report using the Orion NTA and there are minor differences in the listings order of applications. I'm hoping an update to NTA will fix these…
  • I've just started making use of NTA "IP ADDRESS GROUPS" and this is helping a whole lot. Will Item #2 (Rate Based Stack Charts) work with this part of NTA? I really need it right now. Thanks.
  • i can visualize using Manage Views and most any of the Node Lists views (which offer three different custom property levels) plus use SQL filter on DNS hostnames. if you were to duplicate a few of these Node Lists views and customized them to naming standards by geography i can see potential to do what you are suggesting.…
  • i'd like to watch where this thread goes...this is an old thorn-in-my-side issue when it comes time to explain how utilization works, dealing with full-duplex/simpex interfaces and the various formulas used. Cisco has good info about this on their website but it's definately not in layman's terms. i use other products of…
  • first - do you have Orion APM?
  • I don't have any NetScreen devices but I do have others like SonicWall - Nokia - Cisco Pix inside Orion and it is only the CISCO device which shows CPU and MEMORY graphs. I’m guessing Solarwinds developers find it easiest working with Cisco OIDs over these others, probably because of Cisco's bigger market and extremely…
  • You might check out this link. This component seems to work for me. I've been using this "Log Forwarder" on our Microsoft Exchange server which now sends over 400K Event Log events per day to our Solarwinds SYSLOG. And it's been working solid so far. I even created an alert for an event which comes from these Microsoft…
  • I saw it mentioned in another thread about it identifying as WINDOWS NT. So that is the norm for now. I have a Windows 2008 R2 server that won't work with SNMP at all. Must be a problem with other NMS monitoring. And I think Microsoft is being notified about it here:…
  • one of our 6500 switches supports this OID/MIB (CISCO-IPSEC-FLOW-MONITOR-MIB) but we don't have any active tunnels going on like you might have, however i wondered if this might help you... of course, my thinking is you'd have to use Universal Device Poller to monitor these with NPM.…
  • for what this is worth to you... i did some research on Cisco's site and it appears there is not a MIB for GLBP and another thing i saw was the Cat 6500 was not on the list. i did a MIB walk on some of our 6500 switches and did not spot anything but HSRP. good luck...
  • i don't have any rules with Subnet Lists like you have. have you tried to split these into two seperate rules. if it works then, then i would say yes bug!
  • Here's something to try: On the GENERAL tab in Report Writer - Uncheck "Group Historical data by days" - It has something to do with the summarization of data - it was intended in hours, not days... I had to open a few Support Tickets to get my reports back. I did not have all reports with 'no data' like you've mentioned…
  • are you trying to build an APM report where you need to split these out or just needing a new 'feature request'?
  • I also need an answer to this for my similar APM Monitors. I've been trying to use Advanced Alerts on APM Monitors and their Statistical Data along with the trigger condition of "Do not trigger until X minutes..." but it often misfires. It's as if the APM data shows up long after the Alert reads the database. Really…
  • try going into the Resource View named NODE DETAILS and see if it is there. And if so delete it from there. I presume you set it to Node Detail at creation time and not your own creation or else put it to Interface.
  • I'd very much like to know the answer to this as well - I have a great need for this same thing. (Is there maybe an equivalent SNMP TRAP from VMware for this? That might help too!)
  • does the switch have a 'loopback' address and have you tried sourcing it with that instead of vlan16?
  • NoeO: The Orion REPORT WRITER has a base Inventory report and it could be used to create and place in your Orion Report Scheduler emails to be sent weekly or daily to yourself/others to help stay on top of your element count. Here's an example of the SQL code from a report I created: SELECT Engines.ServerName AS…
  • That particular model does not support the CISCO-STACK-MIB mib which does provide identifying information from the OID for Primary & Secondary. Although this Cisco 7206 shows both power supplies, I can alert if either fails, however I can't tell which is primary and which is secondary. I think you could do the same with…
  • In the Web Admin area there's a view resource for use to publish a report from Report Writer dynamically. Use this SQL code in Report Writer to build the report, give a name and then publish it with that dynamic view - voila! SELECT Nodes.Caption AS NodeName, Nodes.Status AS Status, Nodes.StatusDescription AS…
  • The answer to this was to use EDIT in the Endpoint Details. See thread
