Hey Daniel, For the account using Atlas, does it have ALLOW NODE MANAGEMENT RIGHTS enabled in account management? This is the first thing I'm thinking of for now...

i notice it thinks it is a 10Mbps interface...have you tried to use the new speed in your interface's custom properties? perhaps override it and use the field for CUSTOM BANDWIDTH.

You might check the ACCOUNT details of the specific account which is not seeing the modules. Just go into ADMIN, then ACCOUNTS, select that account then click EDIT. Its inside that specific account detail screen at the bottom of the screen where you will expand on each Modules settings. Just make sure the modules settings…

there's not too much about Orion you can install on client PCs. i know the Network Atlas can, but things like ADVANCED ALERTS, SYSTEM MANAGER, CUSTOM PROPERTY EDITOR, UNIVERSAL DEVICE POLLER, and such, can not be installed. the majority of those are now in the MANAGE NODE/web interface. as for me i really need the Advanced…

i know what you're talking about because i've fought this same issue now through a few NPM updates. i'm at 9.5.1 and it still happens with Report Writer. i'm not aware if Solarwinds Support/Development even knows about this 'thorn in our sides...' but maybe they will now. maybe its going to end up as a Feature Request but…

I feel your pain - this gets me all the time with interfaces going into a UNKNOWN status. It mostly is the result of someone messing with SNMP. It has been my experience that one of these two things can fix this. First thing I'd try is use Orion System Manager, navigate to the switch then with it selected, right click it…

Have you tried to use the Engineer Toolset - you could probably download it as an eval to get this done. it has SNMP-SWEEP. When you say 'bulk loader' is that the Network Sonar Discovery piece you're talking about? I can see using that to identify which have SNMP working.

Unless your number of nodes are many, I'd recommend using the NODEID number in this case. The uniqueness of the Node ID # would be nice for this scenario, I think... NOT ALL NODEID = 1756 NODEID = 956 .etc

If you go into Report Writer and make a temporary report using this same Custom Property and then select SHOW SQL and look at how it is presented within this SQL code does it match what you are trying in the alert?

check this out and see if we're after the same thing...

have you tried including ${FullName} for the interface? i have mine set up to trigger (INTERFACE) on Interface status and Node name.

Sounds like you at least have it all ready to go... Typically a firmware device like a Cisco router or switch includes a Syslog Daemon process. You config that daemon to point to the IP address of your Solarwinds Orion server's IP. Then your Orion Syslog Service listens on port 514 for those incoming messages and presents…

By coincidence I am trying to monitor certain URLs where it generates an Error 40x at the web server/logs and this is not good - and the result is, it generates a SAM critical status. So to avoid these errors (Messages 40x) , it seems I can use a choice of Header-Only and avoid those errors and thus get messages 20x…

You're most likely doing it right - I'd mark it up as just another REPORT WRITER bug! I see them all the time. I'm constantly seeing something I change in the FIELD FORMATTING-tab to not stick.

i hope you don't mind if i piggyback on this, but i also need an image as well for EMC Clariion. NetPerfMon/Images/Vendors/1981.gif

I don't have anything in my database right now that is in a ERROR/DISABLED state, but would this report help you? Here's that SQL code of the Interface Report from Orion Report Writer: SELECT Nodes.Caption AS NodeName, Interfaces.Caption AS Interface_Caption, Interfaces.Status AS Status, Interfaces.Severity AS Severity…

Solarwinds Engineer Toolset has Enhanced Ping - it does all of this.

What is the value in # of minutes for your page refresh in your Web Console Settings? Maybe the alert gets reset before this page refreshes and it is never seen in the web console. For instance, my own is now set to 10 minutes and if an alert triggers and resets under that time then I'll never see it - unless I press F5 to…

Just curious, but have you tried using any particular OIDS (maybe Cisco if that's what you're using) with Orion's Universal Device Poller (UnDP) and then initiate a TEST on all nodes to see if any will respond with any of these SSH/TACACS setups values? I would think if you started polling any of these with UnDP and used…

have you tried a private MIB WALK on your device yet? it appears to me the MIB file in Orion is Fortinet 'ready', so to speak. i say that because i see that vendor when i use the SNMP MIB Browser, Fortinet is at this position 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356 and this info comes from the local Orion MIB file. after the MIB WALK, if you…

I haven't tried this yet for myself but I'm told by my local guru to use this (or perhaps a dirivative thereof...) DATEADD (month, months_remains, GETDATE()) as end_date

dumb question - where is this 7 day setting? i can't find mine. i did do an extract into Excel of Syslog events from my NetPerfMon database and I only have seven days worth. my volume is light compared to yours - only 11,000 events in seven days. looking at the Message ID number in the Excel column it appears we've…

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Solarwinds\Discovery Engine there should be a couple of .log files here.

ANDY, Do you know for sure if Orion's NTA works with Cisco's "FLEXIBLE NETFLOW"? We've been trying to get Netflow working with Orion NTA from a Cisco 6513 and I was just told by someone (a CCIE) this is the key to making Layer 2 ports on Cisco 6513 work with Netflow. Of course we've seen it work with VLANs off this…

interesting...i'll like to follow this thread. my thread has a similar issue with the message outcome from UnDP and SNMP TRAPS:

Is this what you mean? for INTERFACE for NODE

Mike C If you have APM I wonder if you might use WMI to monitor a cluster class? Here's a link to Microsoft about that class http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372876(VS.85).aspx Also, I think there's a CLUSTER.LOG file which may be monitored with APM. I don't know that for sure, but if I learn more then I'll pass…

Here's the fix for this which I rec'd from Support log in to the Web Site with an administrator account. Click on Admin in the top menu bar, and then manage views. Select Wireless Access Point Stats from the list and click Edit. Select the Wireless Devices Roamed-In resource from Column 1 and hit delete. Make sure that you…

Did you do the install with one userid (Windows) and later log in with another userid (Windows)? Sometimes by doing this the profile will mask the Program lists and you'll never see them.

...i found something interesting. if you use SORT DESCENDING on the utilization then it will work! SELECT Nodes.Caption AS NodeName, Interfaces.FullName AS Full_Name, (NullIf(InPercentUtil,-2)+NullIf(OutPercentUtil,-2))/2 AS AvgXmitRecvPercentUtil FROM Nodes INNER JOIN Interfaces ON (Nodes.NodeID = Interfaces.NodeID) WHERE…
