No, NetFlow measures traffic volume by protocol and port. IPSLAM inserts synthetic traffic to measure jitter, delay and several other factors. http://www.solarwinds.com/products/orion/ip_sla_monitoring/

Hello bkdocco1, NPM requires an SQL database. It looks like you attempted to install it without the database. If you have an existing SQL database you wish to use you can specify that in the Cnfiguration Wizard, If you are installing to evaluate NPM please use the database included by runnung Configuration Wizard with…

Thanks for the feedback - that's how we improve these Technical references. I'll note this for the next update. Andy

Hi alTeGeGo, From the attached graphs it certianly looks like there is an issue. Have you opened a ticket for this? If so please reply with the ticket number. I'll have this run to ground. Andy

Hello rtjensen4, Do you have a ticket open on this? If not please open one and support can help you get through this. Andy

We can get close to what you need, but not using the time limit exactly as you describe. One way would be to set up alert escalation as seen in the Admin Guide. The second one is to make 2 alerts, one at 85% and one at 90%.

Hi CapTech, Which view are you looking at and what is you Orion polling period? I'm assuming you are talking about Orion IF views and not NTA but let me know if this is an incorrect assumption. Andy

You can do waht you want but with 2 alerts. One for OID1 = 2 and one for OID1 = 3. First create a UnDP to poll the OID then alert off of that poller.

Can you give some more specifics about what the alert does?

The IP SLA Manager module can do that and a ton more. You can try it free for 30 days. http://www.solarwinds.com/products/orion/ip_sla_monitoring/

You can just apply SP5 - no need to update sequentially as the latest SP will always include all the updates from previous SPs.

Hi Wookey, There are grouping and dependency features in Orion 10.1 not that will allow you to group the items as you need and set up alerts for those groups. Andy

No - this is not one of our features. We use goto meeting when we need to do so.

Do the switch port stats from the device agree with these numbers? If so, it's a device issue. If not I'd recommend a packet capture by mirroring that port and seeing what the traffic actually looks like.

Yes. This can be accomplished by a Search by Endpoint. DNS will resolve the hosts in conversations from that endpoint.

Hi byrona, I wasn't sure so I checked with Denny and Josh C. The % indicator is a rounded off % of 2500 ms (hard coded). The bar also reflects this value. Is is meant to give you an at-a-glance comparison of component response times. Andy

Try this one from the Content Exchange 

Is the interface status unknown or is it the interface type?

Have you had a chance to look at the Orion IP Address Manager? It makes this a very easy task and eliminates the complexity of the manual processes. http://www.solarwinds.com/products/orion/ip-address-manager/ip-address-management.aspx

Support does have some workarounds and fixes for this issue. Did you open a ticket? Andy

I believe Nortel only supports IPFIX

I'm not sure about this particular case but security appliances usually have minimal SNMP capibilities. I would recommend using syslog alerting.

In NTA 3.1 there is an option to austomatically add flows. You can turn this off in NetFlow Settings
