sounds good...and i agree Orion should be on top of this with a Printer Domain Dashboard :) we have some really big Xerox all-in-one printers that would do well with this scenario. if you can pass along that appliance name then i'd be interested.

While viewing your map you can click EDIT (far right) and get to tooltips editing. Click the CUSTOMIZE MAP TOOLTIPS.

well - the RED items I mentioned didn't get displayed still. they must contain some HTML code to keep them hidden...

RE: Events for Changed from/to variables... I don't think you can use Advanced Alerts for this, but you can use the variable -PREVIOUS with Basic Alerts to get this info sent in an email. But be warned, you might should have a good design for ALERT SUPPRESSION in place before you enable this and get a ton of alerts from…

profzoom1, Here's the response I got back from another forum - I hope this helps: Only if you do the following, which is basically a duplicate of the syslog you got, except as SNMP trap: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/pix/pix42/configuration/guide/pix42adv.html "To receive security and failover SNMP traps from…

By the way - have you tried using this Cisco PIX OID in UnDP? I've monitored VRRP and HSRP using something similar to watch for Active/Standby changes.

I'll let you know what/if I hear anything from that other forum.

I read that model modem comes with a free SDK Kit which includes a Command Line interface. http://www.mobitek-system.com/SMS_Gateway/CLI_SMS_Manual.pdf Use Orion's EXTERNAL COMMAND calls and pass your alert variables to this CLISMS.exe program - see their example in the documenation (PDF) - I think this should definitely…

maybe you need the next Service Pack, here's a snippet from the SP4 README... "Percent Utilization charts, both in System Manager and in the Orion Web Console, are now consistent."

We got the APM TEMPLATE "Windows Event Log Count" working. Somewhere along the way the template was corrupted. We found that within the body of the vbscript, where there should have been > it was instead > or else where it needed < it was instead < etc etc....so we changed all these and re-tested and it worked great.

exactly. here's a piece from a vbscript i use and it is working ok. oShell.Run ("cmd /C sendsmtp to=myemail@mywork.com host=smtp message='${Message}' subject=Time:") & MyTime don't use or have any spaces in your batch or script name. and check the credentials under the service Adv Alert Engine.

check in your windows services gui for...SNMP SERVICE service is "Started" "Automatic" and SNMP TRAP SERVICE service is "Started" "Manual"?

We've followed the Admin Guide. But are we supposed to be seeing the ESX Host CPU - MEMORY - Volumes - NIC? We do not. And if we use only the API we see the Guests Systems but if we include SNMP we don't.

GOB: i've been trying to understand how to use custom date ranges in your SQL queries and need your help. i only want to report on a Custom Period, for instance, Feb 2009, how would i alter your SQL query for this peiod ( EventTime BETWEEN 39843 AND 39870 )? thanks.

this is really great work Gob! thank you very much!

i need this function-feature today! we are about to migrate from using CA (Computer Associates) products to only using Solarwinds - CA manages this to the highest degree but it really is bad with Orion. and also - i'm hearing we may very soon be getting Numara as well - how do you like it?

I'm assuming these are all the active providers in this OS and I do not find Win32_TPM.

In the example I presented. 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.1100.80

i've tested what i proposed to you on my Orion server with an alert and it works great. it must be an environment issue for you.

thanks - i'll give that one a try.

Avnish, Sorry, my mistake about the popup. I must have been thinking of Overview, where you can select Interface Percent Utilization and there the popup works this way. These variables do not follow the popup, but instead these can be published on the map, like the example i posted. Sorry for any confusion. Also, there's a…

i understand, i thought the ActiveX thingy you attached to this thread may have been blocking me seeing your Orion menu-bar where you could get to your ADMIN button. sorry... if when you get to that screen it presents to you can you retry a URL such as http://yourOrionserver/Orion/Admin/ in your browser? maybe at least get…

If you are trying to baseline your DXX 128Kbps then I'd suggest fixing the bandwidth on your T1 interface to match 128 Kbps. Just go into your T1 Interface Details and make this a Custom Bandwidth and then go into SYSTEM MANAGER to obtain the T1's Interface ID#. Then as you build your report (Report Writer) use that…

do you have Orion and SQL on separate servers? (...i do) if so, did you add anything new like Orion NetFlow module 30 days ago which maybe put extra traffic on your SQL server? or perhaps did you put on SP2 about 30 days ago? looking at my own log, i have just one of these same events in my Solarwinds Orion Event viewer…

Good suggestion Richard... But in my case - we don't own our MPLS router but our vendor does. So, I can't get SYSLOG messages from it. I'm lucky to have an SNMP read string to it.

i really like that idea... maybe someone watching from Solarwinds will see this and pick this up as a FEATURE REQUEST.

One more question please. Will these become available in REPORT WRITER? Thanks.

I guess that really should be my question then - if i build a custom html resource - how do i associate it with just this single node's detail-view?

i think both SYSLOG messages and SNMP TRAPS are the biggest hit on SQL. and if you have NetFlow then it is compounded. and i tried to have all three on my old system. on my old system i could use NetFlow but had to turn off SYSLOG and SNMP TRAPS but now i can use all three...life is good... maybe someone else can give…

And I just tried it with Firefox 3.5.5 and get the same issue.
