Would like to have API integration with Silver Peak, can get basic SNMP and NetFlow data now but not anything more.

Review Completed.

IS-IS sleeps. BGP peers are quiet. Something must be wrong.

My aunt provided our family with a computer when I was about 8 and I was instantly hooked on learning about how it worked. In highschool I took a Cisco CCNA class that gave me a great understanding of computer networking and fueled my career interest in computer networking. Right before I was about to graduate with my…

MTTR didn't go down but our employees don't notice when a circuit goes down since SD-WAN automatically routes around the issue. 

Yes, yes, yes! I need these features as well!

Survey completed!

After being told that Orion's SAML authentication currently only works with ADFS and Okta, I tested with our F5 APM IdP. Since SAML is an open standard I figured it should work with any SAML provider. I found that it did indeed work just fine and was very easy to set up (less than 15 minutes), even though there was no…

IS-IS sleeps. BGP peers are quiet. Something must be wrong.

I installed 2.1 and the custom properties are included so we are good there. My goal is to create an alert that sends an e-mail to the values of the custom property field, but when I go to create a "transaction" alert I don't see custom properties as an option for an alert trigger. Is the only way to access the transaction…

No luck. It appears that the rule changes I make aren't taking effect at all. Is there a known issue or bug possibly?

I manually recreated our scheduled reports. I can view the reports just fine by clicking on the URL in the report scheduler screen, and according to the Windows Task Manager the reports are running successfully; however, no one is receiving the e-mails the reports are supposed to be generating. The e-mail server settings…

That being the case do you know why the script would return the permission denied error when trying to read the file?

Do you know if that feature was added in the 2.2 RC or if it is available in 2.1 as well? I looked at the release notes for both and didn't see any mention of custom properties.

My goal is to have Kiwi discard certain messages based on their content. NPM's Syslog server had a discard option and I'm looking for something similar in Kiwi.Is a complex filter with an Exclude option the best way to do that?

Isn't there a custom query I could write (select all interfaces where status = shutdown)? I'm not familiar with SWQL queries so I was hoping for someone to point me in the right direction.

I migrated my custom reports. Does this automatically migrate the report scheduler information? If not, how can the report scheduler entries be migrated to a new server?

Yes, Adatole, you are correct. We have a separate database server but the polling engine and web server are on the same server. I'm running into a lot of problems at least with the testing phase of this project. I'm using a clone of the production database on the new server for testing purposes and had no trouble…

What version of WPM are you running? When I go to add a custom property my only options are Nodes, Applications, Interfaces, Volumes, and Reports. No Transactions. We are running NPM 11.0.1 and WPM 2.0.1.

That seems to have worked, thanks!

There's no way to access it now? I assume the values you see are written to the database, which the alerts can access? If not, any thoughts on the best way to currently monitor F5 load balancers, node, pool, and VIP statuses?

Don't these file permissions indicate that everyone, including the Orion account, have access to read the file? -rw-r--r-- 1 named named 199 Sep 18 11:15 named.stats

Jeremy, I’ve been able get the URL to change by changing the ServerName value of the primary website in the websites table. Once I had to stop/restart services after making the change for it to take effect, but after that it has worked. Hope that helps.

It worked in SAM 6.2, just upgraded to 6.2.1 today. Case is open. I'll update this thread once we have a resolution.

Is there a way to see our points earning history (aka what activities we have done that have earned us points) like there was on the old site?

Requested logs have been uploaded. File name is mdhtbm_syslog_trap_rules.zip

${StatusOrErrorDescription} isn't being recognized as a variable. The alert is based on the "APM: Application" property. Am I missing something?

It appears that the problem was that I wasn't running Kiwi under the local administrator account. I did that and the rules have worked properly ever since.

Is there a way to do this with a powershell script? I've found the following script online, but when i run it the output I get seems to be from the local Orion server, not the remote server I am trying to monitor: Param([string]$ProcessName, [int]$SelectFirst, [switch]$GridView) If (! $ProcessName) { $ProcessName = '*' }…

Also, I neglected to mention in my orignal post we have Orion's Exchange 2010 Hub Transport Role Counters (Advanced) monitoring this box and every counter in this set has the "Bad input parameter category does not exist" error.
