Apologies, I misread your post. No, there is no option to perform a Trap OID search in the viewer or web page. However, it is possible for you to create a search function using the Custom Query resource, as this provides a second field option for creating the search criteria definition. You will need to create the SWQL…

Hi I believe you are referring to the Trap OID (Object Identifier), which when you create a new filter in the SNMP Trap Viewer application is the default method for creating the filter mechanism. On the trap filter tab, the single entry there will have a TrapOID is equal to ... Click on the three dots to bring up the SNMP…

There is no way to specify different levels of data retention for element types, so to keep this data you will be keeping it for all core Orion data (modules, syslog & SNMP Traps have their own data retention settings). In version below 9.5 open System Manager > File > Orion Network Performance Settings. Use the sliders to…

I would be interested to see if this result is replicated in the Polling Engines page. I am not sure if hitting this page causes a live connection to the APE or if a value is returned from the database. The Engines table has a column LastUpdate which you can query to see if it is doing its job. Also if you have SAM you can…

As the password is associated with an AS neighbour entry, could you adjust the start block accordingly and focus on the neighbor line. This will require some additional Regex to exclude non-relevant entries such as those above to Loopback, but this may work for you.

Hi, Tim are you able to let me know if the API can be used to perform Password updates please. We need to be able to update the encrypted password value in the Orion database and the API is the cleanest method obviously. thanks

Sorry, I am sat on a train so cannot look into the specifics, but in essence you will need to create a custom SWQL or SQL report using the COUNT function to give you this information. Again without being able to look at the DB structure I cannot be sure but usually you would do the count on the unique key (ID) column where…

If you have SAM apply the AppInsight for IIS if not already assigned and review the connection table: There is also an old IIS template which has this in as well. If you do not, use PerfMon on the Orion server - http://woshub.com/how-to-monitor-active-sessions-on-iis/ Mark Roberts Prosperon - UK SolarWinds Partners…

Without reviewing your MIB OID's I cannot confirm if these already exist in the Orion MIB database, but the concepts are very straightforward: 1. If the MIB OID definitions are not populated in your Orion and you are NOT running the latest Orion version release, download the latest MIB file from the customer portal and…

Hi Øystein, If you do not want to use the Notepager apps, then you can use any SMS application that is able to be run from the command line. A Google search showed up a couple of options. Mark

Hi I am not certain on this, as I am not in front of a suitable installation, but I believe the Event messages for AppInsight for SQL are stored in the following SWQL entity - Orion.APM.WindowsEvent Therefore you would need to create a Custom SWQL alert to allow the alert trigger definition to reference the above table.…

Can you post a screenshot of your report filters, so we can see what settings you have put in place.

The Hot Standby pack would provide the resilience for your Orion installation. If the primary Orion server goes down it will take over polling reception, feed data into database and provide the web interface. Once primary server recovers it will hand back. Therefore if you are moving to a clustered SQL environment the only…

Hi The first thing I would suggest you consider is using Custom Properties to store against each device the processes that you consider to be within the scope of the alert. Thereby creating a method to restrict the alert conditions for such a scenario to the selected few, rather than the full monitoring applied. Secondly…

There are a couple of options: 1. If you have the Hot Standby Engine, this has an inbuilt alert option to send an email when the Hot Standby Engine has to take over polling for a server. This is configured in the 'Monitor Polling Engines' console application 2. Use each of the polling servers to monitor each other. With…

Unfortunately the forum server has changed, so all old links no longer directly link. Easy to fix however, simply change the 2 for a 4 after the www and you will be sorted. www4.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp www4.solarwinds.net/.../topic.asp ------------------------------------------------------------ Prosperon Networks -…

Hi, How long are you leaving the machine off? As Orion is pinging the device for its status and the polling frequency is 2 minutes by default, so depending on where you are in the polling cycle will affect timings. For the Alert for Node status, it is checking the Database for the criteria every minute, so you may not get…

Hi I have just come across this issue also. Is it possible to graph such data without needing to have a time based value? This would obviously be hugely beneficial to be able to take a Label and numeric value to create a Bar chart or indeed a Pie chart to see information in such form.

Have you got the latest version of the APM trial?

Hi Peter, Windows 2003 R2 and Windows 2008R2 are both supported OS's. Steps are: 1. Download the APE installer from the portal. Note modules such as the APM require specific installers to install onto an APE, so download these from the portal as well 2. Ensure .Net Framework v3.5.1 is already installed 3. Ensure the…

I am afraid it is not that simple. The NCM Policy report import requires an XML structure specific to NCM Policy Reporting functionality. How these were generated previously (by CourtesyIT​) was to spend the time and effort to map these requirements into the config commands relevant for each OS and create the policy within…

It will be GREAT to have a structured area to allow code and knowledge sharing that is more readily searchable. Thwack bless it is just not the platform for this, with nuggets buried in conversational threads. Looking forward to be able to utilise and contribute.

As curtisi​ has indicated I would suggest editing (or creating new email template), but ensure you add more variables to which you can then populate event fields into. 1. Identify from a sample event, the structure of the event fields and which fields you wish to include in your mail 2. Create or update an existing email…

This is something that used to happen often on older versions, but I have not seen much of this in recent versions. Things to check: 1. Do you have any queues in your MSMQ list on the APEs? 2. When you restart the APE server/services do you notice any nodes change their status? if they do, this indicates your Pub/Subs…

You are able to install the APM as a module against your Additional Polling Engine. The license limit for APM will be applied across them, so you are kept within your licence size. You do not need a separate license to have APM on the APE. In your case your renewals will be Orion NPM, APM (Now SAM) and Additional Polling…

May I suggest you use the Custom Query widget (previously called resources), which provides the ability to have a widget on a page that will list devices (and other useful information you may wish to include) in the listed output and provide the option to include a live search method. In your above example, add the Custom…

No, this is not possible. Essentially Unmanage stops Orion polling for data and if the data does not exist in the database, it cannot influence reports which have information such as SLA for availability. Setting that value for a past time does not mean that Orion will go and delete data it has already collected. If you…

The date display will be determined by the regional settings on the machine you are viewing the page through, not that set for the server.

The approach here is identifying the common parameters that work across the differing alerts, as alerting output generated by SAM will be wholly different to the information you would put into alerts generated by Vman or IPAM for example. Common standards we deploy for customers: 1. Plain Text or HTML, where with HTML…

Hi, As Murpr indicated above, the Network Atlas Maps can have additional dynamic values displayed. The following is a shorthand version of the process, which I am sure you will be able to fill in the blanks: 1. Add the objects to the map (Note: Interface metrics will require the Interface itself to be added 2. Right click…
