a couple of questions. are you using V-Motion? and have you tried using the DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS feature where you enable for something like DHCP for this? go to System Manager, Node, Node Details.

...bump... Hey Denny! Are you sequestered? [He would answer my question]

I believe three levels is all you can go. The ALL NODES views are networkwide, meaning any changes are appied to all users. However, I have an ALL NODES view copied for a seperate user-group working in a single state (U.S.) and made a SQL filter in that view to prevent them seeing 'all'. They only see their nodes. I would…

not sure, but i seem to recall that NTP has to be on a Domain Controller in a Windows environment. maybe someone else can confirm that.

Opened a Support ticket on this, Case #335135

if you want to put it on a Menu Bar, like the Default Menu Bar, as another item then open your new page in explorer to where it is by itself - seen as a full page. cut/copy the URL you'll see in explorer and save that. go the the Admin - Customize Menu Bars - click EDIT at the DEFAULT menu bar. at the bottom of that page…

i have something that works. it won't show up in PREVIEW as you're creating it (unless maybe you have Outlook installed at your server), you'll have to access it from an Orion View (via web site) at your desktop to see it work - because it requires the desktop to have Outlook on it. what i did was, put this file…

We have an ongoing challenge for 'video conferencing' traffic into our MPLS network. We DO NOT use QoS (not anywhere in our LAN/WAN). We have multiple State Offices on MPLS. Our termination here at HQ is 45Mbps and each State Office has as high as 16Mbps down to a couple with 1.54Mbps. All our video equipment is from…

AMSW: how is your SQL set up? i once had this same experience until i made some updates... i have SQL on its on seperate system. i had my SQL on older hardware, 100Mbps NIC and with Raid 5 and just gave up using SYSLOG but recently updated my hardware and have a 1000Mbps NIC and now have RAID 1+0 (aka RAID 10). and wow -…

i've experienced this same problem. what appears to be working for me is maintaining name resolution control with the local HOSTS file rather than our DNS services. this file can get large after hundreds of nodes, luckily they don't change static IP addresses too often. good luck.

You could use any ICON graphics with label names and embed your URL links like so… It would end up opening the Wireless view but you’d get your client count. Otherwise I don’t think any variable is available. UPSTAIRS LAW LIBRARY (HYPERLINK embedded with that Icon)…

I agree, APM is probably where you would do this. It includes a PERFMON monitor. If you can get to that same object using the typical OS 'PerfMon' app then you can with APM also. Just set up APM with the value you want and build an alert around that APM Component.

Could you perhaps use the Windows TASK SCHEDULER for this? And maybe use a Windows Resource Kit tool command called "SC"? You could schedule the blackout window time to execute this SC command to pause the Solarwinds service "SOLARWINDS ALERTING SERVICE" and then one to schedule a start. And maybe include the service for…

I've only had it to affect ESX version 3.0.x systems and I still hope a fix is around the corner soon - perhaps with NPM 9.5. Is NPM 9.5 coming out in June 2009? I hope it is. I understand about the reports being screwed up. Although my issues are with 3.0.x, here's someone having the problem with version 3.5.x

if i understand your need correctly, it sounds like you either need to maintain a strict NAME to IP in DNS...which is rare these days in an enterprise environment or else use your local HOSTS file to do what you are talking about. or i could be off base and missing the mark...good luck.

my biggest interface load on a device is around 400 interfaces and i've never had this type of problem after updates - but your 850 is certainly a lot! you might just win a prize :) the first thing i suspect is how your database is performing. how is your database for Orion set up? is it on another machine and is it RAID…

Additional Info to Note: It must have something to do with being an Interface because I just saw a down node propagate to the top and set it to Red. Nodes are working, but will Interfaces?

I see what you mean - no place does it show what the credential assignment is for the monitor. This is either an oversight or else a security-feature to not be waving around the credentials in use.

i would suggest increasing the SNMP values in your network discovery. increase both RETRIES and PACKET TIMEOUTS

If you're going by using an older SHORTCUT link then yes it's been changed and that may emulate the loss. You'll have to locate it off the Program list and re-create any future Shortcuts or else run it from the new list.

If you're going to spend money then you might look at CA's product called Automation Point. We've used it for years now. It is solid as a rock. The server uses this card http://www.dialogic.com/products/tdm_boards/media_processing/D4PCI_Boards.htm The software dials any number and speaks the message. It can be set up to…

yep - i get all the time too!

ATTN Solarwinds Dev You might want to change this in the accounts details area where it is wrongly referencing System Manager. (NPM 10 RC3)

I'm in. We have nearly 60 Dell servers and this would help us a lot to have Dell system objects populate node resource views - it would definately be something not seen in Orion today because I don't know what to compare it to. Dell probably has the most worthwhile collection of MIBs for using with Orion but they are…

At this moment I don't have anything active to confirm this but these might be worth a try in your next 'test'. Also, I don't know if they will even work...but good luck to you. ${CurrentValue} ${TriggerValue} ${ResetValue}

we're using a product named Automation Point from CA (Computer Associates). this is a product i used in production prior to having Solarwinds. i figured out how to interface it to Solarwinds and it has been extremely reliable and stable so far...this Automation Point has additional features used for mainframe operations…

i think i got the NODE piece but i'm still working on the Duration. the percent part is wildcard of course. remove it and use your exact node name. i'm not a SQL person but i'll give anything a try... SELECT StartTime.EventTime, Nodes.Caption, DATEDIFF(Mi, StartTime.EventTime, (SELECT TOP 1 EventTime FROM Events AS Endtime…

I typically just put it in this order: Trigger Alert...all... Component Name is equal to Number of Processes Component Status is equal to Critical I would not use the CONDITION GROUP for this. This order tends to work well for me. Good Luck!

Just FYI - But as an option to APM in case you have not tried it the Solarwinds Event Forwarder (free app) works like a charm for me. It picks up each severity - Informational - Warning - Critical. I have it installed on our Exchange server and that server logs 20,000 Event Viewer events per day and I have SYSLOG rules…
