Before going in to too much detail, can you confirm what you mean by 'used Orion SDK', are you referring to the SWQL Studio or some of the code samples? A 401 error is an authentication issue, which as you have recreated this in elsewhere would indicate this is an account problem. You say LDAP, but I am presuming this is…

Principles first of all: * NPM collects data via vCentre, but you can also add the ESXi hosts directly and this may be your issue as NPM does not collect all data via vCenter * vCenter is polled via the API, so ensure you have the correct account and permissions (Read and Browse DataStore) * ESXi hosts are polled via SNMP…

It is not possible in the web interface to set the order by within the alerts page. Note the Active Alerts resource lists the alerts by chronological order. Feature Request: It would be a worthwhile feature to provide on this page as in others the column header as a click able order by.

Hi Mike, This is something I have come across myself with our customers. The way I deal with it is to use the alternate URL/querystring method: test.abc.com/.../SummaryView.aspx The page name is simply what you have called this page when creating it and I suggest you use %20 for the space character to avoid any browser…

What you want to do is create/enable the default Orion Polling Engine down alert, so that you can be alerted to the fact that this APE has gone offline and is no longer polling the devices assigned to it. Orion should not put those devices in a down state, as that is not the condition that exists, as if it did receivers of…

Hi My esteemed colleague conguir​ has written 2 blog posts, which you may find will help with this. Automatic Node Population & Application Assignment (Part 1) - Prosperon Networks https://prosperon.co.uk/blog/web-transaction-monitoring/automatic-node-population-and-application-assignment-2 Mark Roberts Prosperon - UK…

The following are requirements to get SNMP Working for a Windows server: * Configure the SNMP Service* Create Read Only (NOT Read/Write) community string using a password strength string (NOT Public or Private and NOT <CoName>RO or variants either) * Define a list of allowed sources and do not use the Accept requests from…

Hi You don't say which version of NCM you are running, as from v7.3 the databases for Orion core and NCM were merged. This resolved a lot of such issues and therefore I am wondering if you are on the older platform. If you are then you will need to delete the node from the NCM management section and run the Syncronise…

As a SolarWinds reseller, we hold regular events (primarily in London) of which we have just held an event to showcase the upcoming Orion releases. Keep an eye also on our events page for upcoming events - http://www.prosperon.co.uk/about-us/events-and-webinars/ Mark Roberts Prosperon - UK SolarWinds Partners Installation…

In no particular order: * I hate to say it but the IPAM import methods are still not the greatest and therefore using the API to perform better data and structure imports * CMDB integration to allow devices being commissioned to automatically be assigned a reserved IP * CMDB data syncronisation - focused to the IPAM custom…

Simply use the Account Limitation feature. This can be assigned either on the account, page or resource level. The following video will show you how to do this: www.solarwinds.com/.../CLA-final.html

If you have the Engineers Toolset, use the MIB browser or MIB Walk apps to do a live lookup on the Fortigate to determine the full list of available metrics within the HWSensor section of the FG MIB. As previously pointed out this MIB area is not fully structured in the same way as the Cisco environmental MIB for example,…

If this is a single volume you wish to separate, then yes, using the Volume name field is the easiest and most efficient. I would question the need to separate it. If the logic is the same as the others and in your examples above, I would suggest changing to the use of Custom Properties (CP) for volume utilisation…

The TFTP server within Orion NCM is controlled by the application when it performs a config download action. Therefore if you are creating a command script and applying it to a device/s the TFTP server will not be started by NCM. The best option to deal with this is to install the FREE SolarWinds TFTP server, which can be…

Do these interfaces get listed out fully when you either Add a Node or List Resources if it is already in NPM? Some devices do not put sub-interfaces in the IFTable, which may be the issue, Netscreens for example

Hi Shane Would you mind sharing your code for the creation of Groups? I am keen to see this, especially the ability to create the groups with sub groups. many thanks Mark

The only way to achieve this 'nicely' is to create a script or applet which will interact with the Orion API to change the polling frequency values for your required devices/objects. This would be quite straightforward to achieve and just needs planning out how it needs to work fully.

Check your Sample frequency settings, as the Min and Max values do not appear to be displaying in the output.

I found this was the case with one of our Beta installs. If it has still not come in, you may need to raise a support case, as this would suggest that NetPath functionality is not able to retrieve the values from the probe agent or the probe agent is not able to perform the transactions. Two log sources exist for this…

In order to do this as a bulk action, the only ways are to use the Manage Node area, which unfortunately does not allow easy filtering of interfaces (the group by drop down would be good to reference Interface Custom Properties, but it doesnt) Tip: you could use Custom Properties and create a CP at Interface level,…

Connection refused explicitly means that the device is not accepting the SSH connection. There is a good KB on the steps to get this sorted which should help - Success Center
