I'd be interested in this as well.

Do you have a few nodes you could pull the policy off of, then set the SNMP values manually? Force policy referesh, then reboot? Just to see if that makes a difference? Sometimes replication can get iffy and this would rule out any kind of issue with GPO if it still doesn't work. The network change is something to consider…

Yeah, it's funny... the other disks report as FixedDisk, same node... all built from the same VM templates. It's silly, but of course this particular disk was the only one that reported differently. I think I might exclude that line entirely from the alert and focus on excluding RAM, physical memory, etc. rather than…

Honestly I'd imagine you'd be OK if you stacked two on one VM, but stacking one on top of the primary might get hairy if you have a lot of elements. Even with the load distributed I still see the primary getting hammered a bit as it also has to run the web console, too.

Can't hurt to see examples of what other folks are doing. I'd like to see it as well, please.

This is one of the best responses to any question I've read on here to date.

Same here, exact same size.

I have ticket ID# 1040680 which was submitted as high priority because the tempdb is filling up the drive and causing all sorts of problems and it's been nearly 24 hours with the ticket still on "not started" status. I'd read about folks being dissatisfied with support when they have had to open tickets and unfortunately I…

I've also had this happen. Node should have been listed as down and it took forever to finally alert. Had another with like 30ms latency and never got an alert.

Smart installer is where it's at. Once I was told I needed to use that particular package the upgrade from 12.0.1 RC1 to 12.0.1 was quick and easy. If you're already using that and seeing this try bouncing the service on the primary. If that doesn't work you may just want to bounce the primary if you can.

Following this as I was going to schedule a NPM and SAM upgrade. Guess I'll hang back and wait a bit.

It sounds like you might just need to change the syntax in your alert. I know that it's different when you alert on a component vs. an application, etc. so if you search for the variable and then use the insert variable button you might be able to get the right one in there. Here's an example of one of mine off of an…

I wish I could get by with 24 GB of RAM on my database server! Expanding to more pollers meant more resources there as well... bumped it to the recommended 128 GB and it'll get close to using all of it if I let it. Not even at full capacity so far and I'm at ~11k elements, 7k interfaces, and 2k volumes. Lots and lots of…

This is what I keep reading as well, you should add a custom property and can't alert on groups. Seems silly to me and I wish they'd fix it. I don't utilize either option very heavily, but alerting on a group would definitely make life easier in certain cases.

I'm having trouble getting the nodes to populate on the map, they don't auto-populate and I also can't manually place them. Did you encounter this behavior at all?

10 minutes.

I saw this as well. They are back, but it looks like some may have been modified.

Unfortunately no Perfstack here. I used it riiiiight when it first came out at my last job and it was neat, but we've only got DPA here.

I do believe this is exactly what my director was looking for, I'll run it by him, thank you!

Of all the techs, I only ever felt I had someone competent assisting me once. One tech was completely wrong about what I needed to do, and that was a giant waste of time waiting on hold to get someone giving me the wrong information. I will say that to their credit they did create/update a document about upgrading the…

I've got a ticket opened Friday that hasn't even been touched. I tried marking it "urgent" to see if it would catch anyone's eye but nope. I really just want to get this extra poller online so I can offload some monitoring responsibility to a co-worker, but it's giving us a real hard time with the install. I'd considered…

Ultimately the resolution to this was to reindex all the tables in the Orion database, and then re-run the database configuration wizard--after doing this and restarting all the services the tempdb file no longer expands at the rate which it was. Hope this can help someone else someday!

The way I have it set up is that the log forwarder is installed on the primary poller and some other nodes like SQL databases. On the individual nodes I have the application forward the syslogs to the primary poller, and from there the rules for alerting (within the syslog forwarder) send out the alerts. So basically what…

What version of SAM/NPM do you run? I'm running SAM 6.2.4 and NPM 12.0.1 RC1 (should probably get on the actual 12.0.1 though...), and the host in question for me is in a 5.5 environment. Wondering if we've got anything in common when it comes to what we're seeing in the Orion console.

I went and gave that a whirl and the "poll through" option was greyed out. I did however add the root credentials under the "VMWare polling settings" when I added the node. Now after assigning credentials on the screen you suggested the node states: "Hardware polling failed: Polling of chassis (CIM_Chassis class) failed.…

When I had this happen to me I had to re-run the config wizard and then I was good to go.

Thanks for posting this, I'm potentially facing the same situation as the OP here. It's unfortunate that things are set up this way and there's not an easy way to import/export the database from another site. Fortunately for me they aren't very large so when the time comes it shouldn't be ​too​ painful.

If the information is right near the download link that would be helpful when it comes to eliminating any confusion with regard to the proper installer for each deployment.

It'll go away on its own, that's what SolarWinds told me--and eventually it did.

Very neat. thank you. I'm not much of a SQL whiz much less SWQL but I was able to get the data I needed into a report that I could then sort and send over to my director. I'm not sure we'll continue developing the report but I think this definitely could help us with the problem the data could solve. Thank you, mesverrum!
