Did you get an answer to this? Try changing the Auth method to NTLM or whatever is supported (supportable) by the LDAP target. I am wondering if this is a version issue as, as far as I am aware SAM LDAP monitor supports v2 and not v3, so check your LDAP server will accept v2 requests.

Hi, You are probably hitting the issue described here: 11.5 and iframes Mark Roberts Prosperon - UK SolarWinds Partners Installation | Consultancy | Training | Licenses

First of all, you do not need the Quality of Experience functionality enabled on all your agents. QoE should be used in locations where you wish to analyse the performance of the traffic flowing over it; either as a spanned port on a switch or installed directly on an end point server that provides the service. As far as…

I too am intrigued as to how this will slot into the portfolio and any integration. As WPM does both internal and external website monitoring, with the Amazon Cloud or remotely placed Player I doubt that there is any future for WPM to have Pingdom remote polling capability plumbed into it. As the major benefit of website…

Hi The LEM application currently supports the Error log only for NGINX and as jrouviere​ highlighted uses the LEM agent to collect the file based logs. NGINX also has a content log, but this will require a connector to be created to support the collection of this log data, as the format and definition of the log messages…

NPM and ETS are two separate applications. There is an integration installer that allows you to install the ETS Web function into the Orion NPM (and all other Orion modules) web interface. The web integration installer is bundled in the ETS installation file pack. Install this against your Orion installation to allow the…

Hi, Yes, you would need to use the Orion SDK API, but it is possible. Process would be along the lines of where you have the choice of using an Orion alert or a scheduled task (I would suggest scheduled task) that runs a script against the API. 1. Script runs 2. performs a query to identify each node where Status = 2 and…

Hi Jayshree I am not sure what you are fully asking, but in order to configure the Fortigate device to export sflow to Orion NTA, please follow this KB Configure sFlow export on Fortigate devices - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support Cisco Nexus 5k series do not support Netflow Dell PowerConnect switches -…

The basis for the real time change detection to trigger NCM to go and perform a download of a config is either Syslog or Traps, as deverts​ has indicated. The following provides guidance on this - Configure real time change detection Things to be aware of: * Syslog is the preferred event message protocol * Ensure you know…

HI Zabeel When there is not a resource with the correct informational output, I create a custom report in Report Writer, with the correct information and format etc. I then add the Misc > Report from Report Writer resource to then display this in the page Hope this helps

i would concentrate on efforts as to why the automatic Orion managed schedule for the DB maintenance is crashing. Check the swdebugMaintenance.log in c:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\Logs\Orion after a nightly run and see what issues are being logged. I suggest you increase the level of logging first using the Log adjuster…

Our best practice advice is to create with the alert action the 'Log to Orion Event Manager' action. The reason for this is that the event message can be viewed for longer than the Alert history information and that the content of this can be written out in a more usable and easily readable manner. Just think of events in…

Hi In order to diagnose this issue: 1. Enable Session Tracing (Generate session trace logs - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support ) 2. Review the logs generated to determine where the communication is breaking down You may need to create a new device template to cater for anything you may find. GL Mark

You can create a page, with the required resource display elements laid out. This can then be applied to a user (for the presentation to use on a made type i.e. Node details) OR to a device type OR as a direct menu item, with a specific menu structure built per login if required. Not only that, but you can filter inline of…

A common solution we put in place for customers is the use of Firefox with the Tab Slideshow plugin for displaying Orion on wall plasmas. This setup allows for more than one page within Orion to be displayed on the plasma, with for example the Network Summary Homepage on one tab and the Top 10 page on another etc., with…

This is certainly a sea change from the previous SCP program, which was OK back in the day, but now with the capabilities and scope of Orion was in no way a reflection on a SolarWinds administrator's ability with the platform. I feel that there is certainly a space in the tech arena of 'monitoring engineer' for a vendor to…

Hi, As aLTeReGo has indicated the FailOver Engine license supports WAN mode. In terms of alternatives, we are advising our customers to configure stretched vLans between the primary and secondary data centre to allow them to support the new HA feature in Orion. This would then provide an HA/DR resiliency deployment method,…

Hi There is a default report which has this information within it. It is a web based report, so within the Reports in the web interface look for a report called 'General Asset Inventory' Mark

Would the new option available within the current releases of SAM/NPM work for you, where it is possible to use your AD topology to determine which servers get scanned. Within the sonar discovery profile you define which AD groups contain the servers you wish to auto scan and when it runs it will do a live lookup to…

I cant tell from the image, but are you just getting this message on specific monitors or against certain nodes? The message you are receiving is the returned error from the node you are monitoring, so it is likely there are issues with that server. Check the memory and WMI status of that server. It is useful in this…

This is an IIS configuration issue and problems getting SSL working are usually related to Certification issues and ports already in use. You dont say which version of Windows you are running, but I suggest you confirm that the SSL port 443 is not already in use and that your certificate (self signed or fully authed) is…

These values can be set within the browser interface to whatever is appropriate: Admin > NPM Settings

While there is no direct support for including Custom Poller data within the reports via the Report Writer Design mode, if you enable the Show SQL view, you can directly manipulate the SQL statement. Am pretty sure that support will be added in due course.

Hi, Any external 3rd party reporting platform can be used; SQL Server Reporter, Crystal Reports etc. What it means is that you are simply transferring the running of the SQL data recordset queries in the 3rd party reporting app and using that to present and manipulate how you need. I recommend that you build your report…

Hi, Couple of questions regarding the forthcoming NPM 11.5 / SAM 6.2 releases: 1. How long after these releases will an updated SDK be 2. Can you give a clue to some of the new/updated features many thanks Mark

Orion will collect data from devices that are SDN controlled. SolarWinds are working on specific SDN monitoring and management functionality, so I suggest you provide more information on what you need to determine if this is something the PM's would be interested to discuss for roadmap or whether this is something that can…

You will need to backup the Maps and Reports folders also, as these are not stored in the database. In v9.5 the meta for the maps is now stored in the database, but the image file used for any backgrounds is still on the filesystem. You only need to backup the Reports folder if you have edited or created any new reports.

Is this just happening on servers with the agent installed and any active alerts for other devices are not being retriggered? Also have these devices been unmanaged at all? We have a case with a customer who has a weekly unmanage node schedule and this has caused alerts to be sent incorrectly. The advice in that instance…

This is not currently possible, so I suggest you add as an NPM feature request

Did you ever get to the bottom of this. It would be good to know the cause of such performance issues on map load time on such as powerful platform.
