Welcome Eric- You could just create a custom property using the Custom Property editor. Simply open the editor and create a node property for location.

Yes. You can use the following script, run against the Nodes table in the Orion database (NetPerfMon by default), to change all your up but unknown interfaces from SNMP v2 devices to SNMP v1. Before running queries against your database, ensure you first backup the database. * Stop the SolarWinds Network Performance…

Does this node appear in the system manager? Have you tried to delete the node and re-add it?You may also try to open your system manager an click on file>>select advance options>>click on the baseline tab>>make sure the option is set to allow baseline.

 You have Additional Pollers installed. Additional Pollers allow you to increase the monitoring capacity of your Orion installation by enabling multiple monitoring engines that work in parallel across your network.

If you have the Application Performance Monitor module, you can monitor the SNMP process and alert if it isn't up (or doesn't come back up). I am assuming you don't have this module though?

 This was a known issue for 8.1 that was addressed with Hotfix 3-

 You can import them using a seed file. http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/OrionAdministratorGuide.1.19.htm 

 There are several custom reports loaded in the Content Sharing Zone to try-

 The hotfixes are rolled into 8.5.1 - so just apply SP3.

 Ariel- take a look at this and see if it helps out any. www.solarwinds.com/.../OrionAdvancedAlerts.html

 You should not have any performance issues. Do you have the SQL DB on a separate server?

 Would this be a 64bit OS?

 some ideas here maybe?

How do you have the Suppression tab setup? Anything like this?-

Look into your Volumes Details view in the Admin section. Most likely you will have EnergyWise views there, if so, remove those and anything else that does not belong for Volumes and you should be good. We have an existing defect open on this.

 NPM can certainly monitor Windows Server 2008; however, we do not support running NPM on Windows Server 2008. We only support Server 2003 for now.

Once the tool is up and running follow the steps below. 1 Click Servers at the top 2 Click Poller Load Balancing You should get a msg reminding you to shut down the polling engine prior tomaking a change click OK.

Some suggestions here:

I think you would need to install Orion and NCM onto the new box (with license resets) and then point them to the previous SQL DB- Then install the HSE on the old server.

Will- Yes, defining every port will ensure that all conversations are monitored and not dropped as unmonitored traffic- The option to monitor all unnamed ports might be in a future release. 

IP Address Manager > IPAM Settings > Subnet Scan settings > Uncheck the Enable SNMP & ICMP scan checkboxes

Suppress when: NodeName equal to SwitchA AND Node Status not equal to Uphere is link to a different example about having dependent node suppression, so change the logic around to include the switch in the group of monitored objects and suppress the 5 nodes that are not equal to up- but trigger for the…

Have you tried to compact and repair the DB? You can upgrade to Microsoft SQL Express 2005 which has a 4GB limit and is free. In Solarwinds Orion, the Database Manager allows you to do a backup and restore. - Back up the MSDE database into a temp directory - Restore the backup into SQL Express 2005 - Run the Solarwinds…

 After your NetFlow-enabled device and its interfaces have been added to Orion NPM, you must designate it for monitoring by Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. Note: When using NetFlow version 9 you must configure the template to include all fields utilized by NetFlow version 5. To add NetFlow devices and interfaces to NetFlow…
