Being in eval mode, more than likely the system installed SQL Express and put in it's own credentials. If you had a SQL database setup for this, then you will want to rerun the wizard in order to move the database location to that SQL server. The problem you are going to run into is if the username/password are encrypted…

What's being pulled into the interface is what's saved in the database. Within the Config-Archive directory on the new server, you should be able to drill into each folder and see folders by date that configs are running. Also check under /Orion/NCM/Admin/Settings/ConfigSettings.aspx to ensure that saving a copy is…

They have 10.4.1 in RC phase currently so it looks like they are moving toward that. I understand, though, the pain that comes from upgrading that many servers.

If you are just running the get-content, the reason for the error is that there is no S:/ drive on the SolarWinds server. You may need to add the //SAP IP/ before the S:/ drive in order to tell the server to find the drive on that server.

I was able to find what the culprit here was. Apparently there's something with our McAfee AV install that caused the issue.

Ok so you are getting results now?

Is this when doing the export to pdf on the server or using a browser from another machine?

Sure thing. 

It would help for polling going forward but not for any data that had been previously collected. The data collected would only be available for the polling interval the device was set to at the time of collection. A change in the interval doesn't change the historical data. As well, the farther apart the data is from each…

Create an Advanced Alert, on Trigger Condition set the property to monitor as Custom Node Poller. Add a couple of Simple Condition specifying the name of the poller and the value you wish to have as the threshold. For the second condition make sure you use the Numerical Status option if you setup the poller as Raw Data.…

This has not been added as something that can be done easily yet. When it's added, it will be in the release notes of the version that it was added to. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com

Thanks michalB

Have you tried WMI? Have you tried changing the component to the Service Name?

Since I'm needed the calculation to be done individually for each system the other counters are collecting on, I'm now working with ODBC, but have run into an issue of trying to pass a variable in a query. Passing Variables within a query. Is it possible to pass a variable such as ${NodeName} or ${IP} in the query in order…

Clearing the cache isn't going to do anything, the value is being retrieved from the database. If it's still showing 100% either (a) the device is still reporting it that way for some reason, or (b) that volume isn't being polled even with a poll now. If you have access to the SQL database I'd look for that volume in the…

It's either going to be log files that may still be in Debug (check the log adjuster for that) or if you have any reports scheduled to send PDF report, then a copy of that PDF ends up being saved locally on the server.

In node management, you can do a search, if you change the dropdown at the top from node to interface, search for wifi1. This should then show them all, you can select them and delete that way. You would then repeat for the other interfaces. Would be a little better than SQL which can potentially lead to the wrong port…

You could do a couple of things. You could either disable the alert prior to maintenance starting. Another option, one we utilize here is to use a custom property called maintenance that is a yes/no flag. You could then add a condition to the alert that Maintenance is equal to no. From there, you can create two SQL jobs…

Index fragmentation is fairly common with the Orion NPM database. There are a number of methods to defragment the indexes, but it would be best handled by a DBA. The fact there are that many syslog messages means that you probably have a lot of devices sending, or several devices sending large amount, such as firewalls…

Your error is due to custom properties that were setup in the alert that are no longer showing. Here are quick steps on correcting that. * Close the Alert manager out * Go into Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Grouping and Access Control > open Custom Property Editor * Right-click on the menu and choose customize…

yeah, good point. There really needs to be the ability to archive a node for a set period of time after the device is replaced/decommissioned, in order to retrieve the data.

Thank you. This is another approach I may have to take.

Glad to help out.

aLTeReGo, did you seriously just manage to make two conjunctions into verbs? Man, you get first on the points list and just think you can make your own rules of grammar

Did that first thing this morning. So far I haven't seen a jump again to that high, but I'm still keeping an eye on it.

You'd first need to change the poller to a rate in order to translate the data from Raw Data/Text to a numeric value. Now, with the alert, since the poller is reporting a percentage, then you'd need to define the value of Rate is greater than 90. You might be able to use Numeric Status and keep Raw Data, but I've had…

Did you happen perchance to look at the SQL database? Maybe open SSMS and open up Activity Monitor to is if there are any queries causing issues or any jobs on the SQL db.

Something else to look at. On the Orion server, go to Start > Run > Perfmon. Open the Performance Monitor and click the + then add all the SolarWinds NetFlow counters. Once added, change the view from a graph to a report, then see if the server is seeing the flow packets. While you aren't seeing them as FLOW or CFLOW in…

There's really nothing that's going to have linked those devices in the database, unless you've put that information into the interface description at which point it would have been added to the ${Fullname} variable would have it. Otherwise you could create a custom property called connected node or connected interface and…

If you still have the install files for the previous version, you could install them on another system and get those files.
