 I'm sorry to hear about your experiences with 8.5- and the responses to getting the issues resolved. I empathize with your frustration and will try to look into these tickets to get an update. Thank you for discussing your specific situation here.

I don't that's possible, but let me confirm that there is not a workaround and I'll get back to you.

Currently the following operating systems are supported for Cirrus 3.5.1 * Windows XP Professional SP2 or later * Windows 2000 Server SP4 or later * Windows 2003 Server (32-bit), including R2 www.solarwinds.net/.../releaseNotes.htm For the MDAC - support.microsoft.com/.../301202

Try this:" 1. login as admin and go to the admin tab 2.Manage views 3.edit the Netflow views and remove the traffic history resource. The error should be gone- hopefully

Something like this perhaps? http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/OrionAPMPHComponentTypesFtpUserExperience.htm

 I have not heard of any but any updates will be posted here first -

 When you reinstalled were you logged in with proper permissions? It seems the current user does not have sufficient rights to talk to the DB. You might try this workaround-

If you want to export the results from a table, complete the following procedure. a. Click (down error), and then click Export Table. b. Check the items you want to export. c. Select the format you want to export to from the Export Format options. d. Click OK.

 Thanks for the tip!

If this re-occurs try clearing the web cache from the admin.page or I have also seen in the past that running the website portion of the configuration wizard and install the website in another directory: C:\Program Files\Solarwinds\Orion\ConfigurationWizard.exe Select only website. e.g. Instead of: C:\InetPub\SolarWinds…

In the Start Menu: Under All Programs -> SolarWinds Orion ->Network Performance Monitor > License Network Performance Monitor Select > Enter Licensing Information

This is a good resource-that has some examples you could modify to your needs.. http://www.solarwinds.com/support/Orion/docs/UnderstandingOrionAdvancedAlerts.pdf

To view from your web console you will need to add the resources to the views in your web console. http://www.solarwinds.com/resources/democenter/Orion/OrionCustomPollerSetup/OrionCustomPollerSetup.html

 You might consider using SQL Reporting services. There is an excellent guide on how to do this in the content sharing zone.

 Which product and version do you have?

 If possible I would just keep using the basic alerts or you will need to clear your calendar for the coming month;-)

How do you increase SQL timeouts for the NetPerfMon DB? C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion -> SWNetPerfMon.DB file you can increase the timeout variables here 

A few suggestions in these threads-here and here.

mdriskell- just curious as to how exactly you have the alert set-up? Suppress Alert when all of the follwing apply- Trigger Actions: Send new Syslog Message to ???? Log Alert to xxxx.txt???

 This was addressed in one of the NTA Hotfixes- Previous Discussion: The Hotfix Rollups for Netflow can be found here-

 Please try now...

Open the SolarWinds database manager and connect to your SQL server. Open the Orion database and select the engine table. Right click on the engine table and click query.

There is not a way to check/uncheck in advanced but you can Select a group by listing one of the following criteria for grouping events: Event Type, Object Type, Network Node, Acknowledged, or No Grouping- http://www.solarwinds.net/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/OrionAdministratorGuide.1.78.htm

 Go to C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion and delete the file called MapMaker.Toolbars. Now when you open Map Maker a new toolbar file will be created (MapMaker.Toolbars) and the tool bar should reappear.

 Try re-running the website portion of the Configuration Wizard. You might also need to reset the admin privileges from within the DB Mgr-> Accounts Table- Account Enabled for Admin should be "Y"

This defect has been noted. Thanks-
