Mike, Yes, it is a windows process named GENDAW32.EXE Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I've recently been tasked by my management to 'prove' this product (NTA) can provide reporting for our Internet Traffic (which supports users from multiple states) or else I am to find the product that can do our reporting. I feel this product might but I’m still not sure yet. It’s a little shaky…

here's one similar to what you've mentioned but without Interface Util. there's not much to it - very simple. i once had one published like you've mentioned for Top VLANS but lost interest in it and took it off, however it works like a charm. SELECT Nodes.Department AS Department, Nodes.Caption AS NodeName,…

fyi i just now captured this screenshot which shows what i've been seeing...notice this fiber showing up as ZERO in/out.

i had similar thoughts and increased the polling interval on a device or two but these ZEROES still show up occasionally. funny thing is, you never know which device or which interface it will be.

my bad.

Hey ALIJ I'm monitoring our VPN tunnels by the dozens. Our models are 3030 but this should work for you. You might start off by using this link and then custom build what you want with Orion Universal Device Poller.…

I was hoping for something that would occur 'auto-magicly' - that is, operate off a checksum and alert as the checksum changes over time. It seems I'll have to interact with it as the folder changes over time. If it goes over 7GB then I'll have to adjust to that or if it goes under 5GB adjust to that too. Is that correct?

If you only need a SYSLOG event for an alert then why not set your logging to only 4 days. Maybe that would cover the weekends and holidays. You could write an Advanced Alert to offload anything into another archive file and/or log to SAN or NAS.

Our greatest impact comes from these multiple sources: NETFLOW, SYSLOG messages and SNMP TRAPS - Averages of 700,000 Syslogs per day and 2,000 SNMP Traps per day. Which all of this is compounded by over 50 NETFLOW sources pounding away at SQL. (And the information provided by Netflow is great stuff). I'm trying to get an…

Oh yes – I agree. It should be taken with a grain of salt. I didn’t agree with that poster either but just passed on the info. In the past ten years I’ve worked with many network management products - in this order – NetView – Ciscoworks – CA (Computer Associates) – and now Solarwinds. And in my humble opinion it is…

It’s nothing spectacular, I’m just using labels and putting the node’s ${CPULoad} and ${PercentMemoryUsed} on there and occasionally a NIC utilization also. Here's a blowup shot of the first server in the rightmost rack. And when you hover of the greendot on the live map of course it displays the Node name and IP address.

As for interface names i used the ifDescr. In the Node Details view UnDP table is slightly staggered but it works out seeing those with IP addresses.

there must be another solution to this which might be by using Advanced SQL - unless someone has a quicker solution. my first thought is the time-consuming solution Custom INTERFACE Property.

JSWAN, What can you tell me about LLNW? I am constantly seeing tons of traffic (and some Akamai). Thanks.

yes you can do that too just discover your virtual ip's as other nodes into Orion and put them on the map like this - this is where i do clustered servers with virtual ips, just like routers if there's a failure the map icon (cloud) will show it as red

I don't know if you've done this before, but here's another perspective on disk space usage on a single node. This can either be emailed to your manager or else posted in Orion. Drill down into the node detail view, to the disk drive, and make a disk usage chart report on last 12 months for instance and set your size,…

i need some advice... to get the VPN site-to-site tunnels, how would i translate Checkpoint (1.3.6.1.4.1.2620) into Nokia (1.3.6.1.4.1.94) ? when i MIB browse, i get Unsupported OID for Checkpoint. Here's what I'm seeing. The Nokia VPN Tunnel OIDs are at 1.3.6.1.4.1.94.1.41.2.2.2 but the OIDs listed for Nokia in MIB…

Change your format string in Field Formatting for Date_Time to hh and group it

how about the condition with a wildcard? *cpqSeUSBSorageDevice*

it appears if you don't have every interface selected in your node's RESOURCES LIST within Orion System Manager then it doesn't get counted. but here's what I tried and got a count (i'm not sure you can get only switches, unless maybe your node naming scheme was in line for switches then it could be used for the filter)…

Have you tried using System Manager, find the node and highlight it then right click and select REFRESH NODE? (this typically works for me with these type of changes).

The SQL server is fine. Gigabit NIC & 4x 3Ghz CPU & RAID 1-0 - no performance issues found. NetPerfMon database is ~67GB and NetFlow ~23GB and NetFlow queries are the worst. NetPerfMon reports are made in seconds - NetFlow reports around 30 minutes or more (if you're lucky 15 minutes). And the sad part is that you never…

So far everything else seems fine - but you're right, it just looks 'weird'

Interesting...It's just an area (the METRO) I'm looking into. It is our public interface to the Internet and we have users mentioning intermittent slow downs, so I was curious about these METRO 'receive' errors and if they play any part. Do you think the Engineers Toolset 'SNMP Real-Time Graph' would be worthwhile to dive…

i must be having a 'brain derailment' i can't get this to work.

Support Case is now opened. Thanks.

savell - is this what you mean by capture? (...and hey - that's a great tip by the way - my first time to make use of the SQL Profiler...learn something every day...) of course, i'm including Vendor Icon and Machine Type, but should JONCHILL get similar results? SELECT Nodes.VendorIcon AS Vendor_Icon,…

no date was mentioned... just this "I will keep you updated on any developments on this case." if i should hear or get this update - i'll try to reply back to this thread.

I'm curious about Switch Port Mapper in ENGINEER TOOLSET. It includes a column VLANs(Cisco) but I never get anything on any switch model. It is always empty. If you could get VLANs here then you could export an HTML onto Orion. Maybe someone from Solarwinds can comment on that column and what it does.
