Do you have IPAM 3.1?

 Yes, your assumption is correct The average RT will include all pings.

 I take there is no way to edit the nodes custom proerties on the website, will this be available in v9? I believe so - this is forthcoming per Denny's post here

Try the following: * Create identical accounts (same account name & password) on the ipMonitor host and on the remote host * Ensure that this new local account has sufficient rights to login on both boxes See this older knowledge base article for more details. DOMAIN\user vs. user

Yes , you need to open a ticket and submit them for compilation into our mib database- however if you know the OID then see this thread here. ... a better explanation here.

 Correct, MSDE is not supported with 8.5 - The following SQL Server versions are supported: * SQL Server 2000 SP4 Standard, or Enterprise * SQL Server 2005 Express, Standard, or Enterprise You can download SQL Express with a 4GB limit for free- from your portal of MS.

 there are some MIBs in the Content Sharing Zone for the 3000 series

Is "SWL-1001" a normal response when insufficient permissions are in place and the application wouldn't even start? Yes, make sure that you are installing Cirrus while logged into the Cirrus Server with local administrator privileges and running the application too.

there are some config. examples in this post-

It's difficult to determine exactly. You might be best off submitting a support ticket to help pinpoint why the WMI service on the server is getting overloaded.

yes, that is a good practice.

 You can only get the MAC address of the switch/router port, not the connected devices. Only Cirrus or Switchport Mapper can give the MACs of connected devices at this time.

marvlez- Orion will continue to ping the device even after it does not respond. You do not need to set this up with an alert- see this doc. for a walk through setup: Trigger Alert when all of the follwoing apply Node Status is not equal to up Alert Escalation Tab- delay the execution of this action 15 minutes. Also this…

To limit the view to one page just create an account and edit the menu bar to the URL you desire then limit that page.

 Yes, that will be fine, Please see the release notes for more details on installing 8.5.1. www.solarwinds.com/.../releaseNotes.htm

I have part of the same problem. I upgraded Orion and moved it to a new server. None of my Basic alerts are listed. However, if I click on the button to Test Alerts, they are all listed in that drop down box. Where can I find them, how can I get them back into the list under Basic Alerts. Just a thought but verify which…

On the Nodes detail page click on EDIT and add the chart. http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/OrionPHResourceMinMaxAvgResponseTimePacketLossChart.htm 

 Mark, Thanks for responding. I am new to Orion. How do you run the Website portion of the Configuration Wizard. Also, not sure about logging in as local administrator and if there is a default password? We are still running the Demo even though we purchased the product. Waiting on the license key. Thanks again. Orion…

 It is a bug. What you will need to do is add the interface ID from the select Fields Tab- and make sure that it is above the Total Bytes Received field.

 You can keep adding nodes but other items will not get polled.

 The Beta is coming soon if you would like to participate-

Hello edit.csato- What exactly is the performance issue you are having? and what versions are you using? I ask because this thread is somewhat dated and new releases may have addressed the issues you are having. 

 The next step for you would be to truncate this table. In order to truncate this table please go to your DB Manager from the Orion application. Be sure to run a backup and stop your polling services for this to take affect. From here find the SQL Server on the left pane then drop down the tree until you find your DB…

 Verify how you have the alerts configured. There is a "Do not execute this action if the Alert has been Acknowledged" option on the ALERT ESCALATION of the TRIGGER ACTIONS tab.

Here is one example.

Try using the SQL Mgr. backup and restore and then compare the file sizes.
