The HTTPS monitor has a checkbox for ignoring CA errors which gets you past that on those types of monitors. Perhaps Solarwinds should add that into the form login monitor too.

I completely agree that something like this is needed, so add my vote. However in this case you could have used OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.17163.1.1.2.7.0 which uses numerical data to show the same thing. The description: "Current health of the system. This variable is identical to health except that it is of integer datatype"…

What a coincidence, all this time using Orion I haven't needed to do this, until today, so I come here looking for a way and find this post right at the very top. Put my name on the list for people that want this feature. I can pull SNMP info but no ICMP. At least give me a button to just turn off ICMP monitoring of a…

I simply add &Printable=TRUE to the end of the URL removes the logos and the footer. Gives a nice clean NOC view. Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I would settle for a nice WebUI that allowed the moving of systems between pollers without any downtime. If they do go with an automatic option I would prefer the automatic part to be optional, I would keep it off as I prefer to keep my additional poller more heavily loaded than my primary. Yeah me too, not to mention the…

What's wrong with pulling the disk stats from perfmon using APM? That's what I use.

This is because the timeout value is for all component monitors in the template, not for individual component monitors. In some situations, be that there are too many component monitors in the template, the connection to the monitored server is highly latent, or a complex script monitor or other component takes a very long…

I had a similar problem for a while. Our fix was to update our net-snmp on the Linux servers to the newest stable version. If yours are Redhat based then a simple "sudo yum install net-snmp" should update it as long as your repositories are set up. Make sure to back up your snmpd.conf file first. I do: "cp…

Hi lhorstma-- Would you mind telling me where the broken links are so I can ask the proper people to fix them? Thanks, M Looks like they have already been fixed. Thanks.

See below. Also, If should be It, but hopefully you just get rid of the prompt altogether :)

I would love to have the countless hours I have wasted "ignoring" interfaces returned to me. Try, just once, discovering a VOIP gateway with 2000+ interfaces. Then try to ignore all but the 10 or so interfaces you really care about, and you may begin to see why this is an issue that needs attention. Repeat this process on…

There's really not much to check or change, most of it is basic vbs. Have you tried making it an actual .vbs and running it form the command line on your APM server? Should give you more insight into what's happening than you get from testing it as a script monitor. Double check your Oracle path on your APM server to make…

I use custom properties for this and an All-Nodes tree sorted by those properties. So management can open the page, see that datacenter 1 is green, and datacenter 2 is yellow, etc. It can then be drilled down to the device level to see details. You could do this with maps too, management types like maps. "Oh no, New York…

Me too.

We use HEAT for ticketing as well, and for integration we just send alert emails to the HEAT auto ticket generator which assigns the tickets to our NOC. Other than the emails we don't use much of the alerting functions native to Orion. It's worked great this way for years but after the upgrade to 10.1 it's been broken as…

I've installed the hotfix and emails are working as advertised, back to plain text and the ticketing system is happy again. Thanks for the rapid hotfix on this one.

I run the 32 bit one on 64 bit machines and haven't had a problem yet. I haven't seen a 64 bit one, but maybe they have one locked away somewhere. Also, I've never had to reboot afterwards.

Can anyone with some SQL experience help me out with this? Need to parse the volume ids which are comma deliminated text in NetObjects and Alertname in table Alerts and match them up with Fullname and VolumeID in table Volumes.

I set up discard rules in the SW Trap config to get rid of the ones I didn't want before they hit the database. I think the main offenders for me were authentication traps and some out of control Blackberry traps. I then truncated the traps and trapvarbinds tables back to zero to start fresh.

I looked through the database in the Volumes and Nodes tables and I can't find a field that looks like "Skipped Polling Cycles". If you could find that I think you could use it as a variable. Maybe they are doing some math, like "datetime - LastSync / Pollinterval = Skipped polling cycles" but I don't know. Anyways, I…

Mark me down for Xen too. We've got thousands of servers virtualized in Xen and additional Orion support in that area would be huge for us.

I would try following: 1) increase timeout on application I see this given as an answer fairly often. How is the default of 5 minutes not enough of a timeout period? If a component takes more than 5 minutes to complete polling then there's something wrong. Byron, How can you check to see if the scheduler is overloaded? Are…

I figured it out. I was selecting "Type of Property to Monitor" from the top of the page and changing it to Node, then adding the new condition. If I keep it as Volume and then add the condition it works. So I guess once you start creating the trigger condition as one property to monitor, you need to keep it as that…

How would you say it compares performance wise to before 2008? Same, better, worse? My original reason for upgrading was my desire to run my primary server with 6 cpu's, so I would have had to go from standard to enterprise. So I basically thought that if I'm going upgrade anyways I might as well go to 2008.

Yes I saved the changes. I even saved it as a new report just to make sure since that was the first thing I thought of. It worked fine switching it to "bandwidth", not sure why it wouldn't work for numeric. I did end up figuring it out though, so if anyone in the future has the same issue can do this: INNER JOIN ( SELECT…

Ok excellent, this has me on the right track but I'm having some issues with it. First issue is that I can't seem to get the Solarwinds Database Manager to connect to the database, so I've logged directly onto the database. I run the query and my result gives the Alert name and a listing of the numerical volume ID's. I…

As far as I know (in my version at least, NPM 9.1 SP5), there is only the Syslog server, which will collect and alert off syslog messages that are sent to it. That doesn't meet the requirements I've been asked to look for in relation to checking remote logs as it requires third party agents to be installed on all MS…

Looks like we've gotten it resolved. A week ago I had scripted a change to snmp security settings enterprise wide to add support for a third polling engine. Due to misconfiguration on a large number of servers (maybe 100) it actually removed support for our two existing polling servers. Those 100 servers or so started…

Bump as I'm looking for "does not start with" for an alert I use to monitor partition utilization greater than 85%. We don't want alerts for our pagefiles (P drives). I'd like to weed those out by using a "does not start with P:\". Please help. Steve, this has been discussed elsewhere but I'll go ahead and repeat it. You…

Have you considered renaming the individual component within the application monitor or within the application template. The "HTTP Monitor" could be renamed to "www.xyz.local". HTH I've got thousands of APM monitors. I could do that here and there for a few things (and already do here and there), but not on a large scale.
