Does this thread help you out: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/24183 Or check the documentation found here: Orion Failover Engine Documentation

I wonder if DDNS would help in this situation. Have you tried that?

This is kind of possible by using the search feature when adding a new group. Leave the sorting by Vendor and just filter the nodes by using the search, ex: yy-zzzzz and then just click on all the vendor icons. Not perfect, but a thought.

Interesting, this would definitely be a help. We have leading variables for our node names, not quite the same as yours but I get where this is going and see how it can help the tedious task of grouping similar nodes.

Pardon if I offend, but did you edit IPTables? Did this configuration work before? Have you tried restarting the SNMPD service?

Go to Settings -> Polling Intervals. Here you can change the default polling intervals.

To just use that UDP you would just download it and save it on your Orion server. Then open UDP, Start -> Programs -> SolarWinds Orion -> UDP. From there you would just import the poller, File - > Import poller. After you import or create a poller it is important that you do the following: A. Assign the poller to the…

Maybe try setting the poller to not keep historical data and run database maintenance.

Have you tried this: UPDATE dbo.Settings SET CurrentValue = 1 WHERE SettingID LIKE 'dbm-defragmentation-enabled%' Then run DB Maitenance. To turn off defragmentation: UPDATE dbo.Settings SET CurrentValue = 0 WHERE SettingID LIKE 'dbm-defragmentation-enabled%'

Yes this is possible. Basically you would just create the two site maps, and then the general map you just drag and drop the site maps as if they were a Node onto the map. And here is a link to the Network Atlas Admin Guide: www.solarwinds.com/.../OrionNetworkAtlasAdminGuide.pdf

I have seen this happen sometimes, but only for net-snmp devices. Is this the case for you as well?

The alerts are coming because they are unreachable due to the Firewall being down. What you can do is set up a Alert Suppression for the Site Servers when the Site Firewall is down. This way when the Firewall is down you only get the alert for the firewall and not the dependent servers. Example below:

I like using Weather Maps. But that is my personal preference. We have several sites up and down the east and south east so I use this link for that map: http://image.weather.com/images/maps/current/cur_ec_720x486.jpg . Just set this in your "Linked Background Image." But other than that Google is your friend.

Sorry, but I have to ask: Does the user account in question have the proper report folder? Settings->Manage Accounts->Edit account in question-> Towards the bottom, Report Folder should be /Reports.

Can you edit the poller and make sure that the MIB Type is set to Raw Value and that the SNMP Get Type is set to GET TABLE? I believe I had this similar issue with a custom poller I resolved this way.

It is measured not via what the router says its up time was, but rather on the device's reachability from the polling engine. If a circuit goes down that prevents the poller from reaching the device, it deems the device as down. I believe this is based solely off of ICMP echo, but it could rely on SNMP reachability as well.

You can simply select the entire collumn and then copy and paste the contents into Excel then remove the duplicates. This will give you a count of all the buildings.

Did you assign the poller to display on the Node Details page?

I have a CPU/Mem UnDP uploaded in the content section. There are other UnDP's relating to Fortigate that can be found there as well. The OID's I use are: 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.1.8 and 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.1.9

Specifying an IP address is for sending SNMP traps. The device can still poll the router using the proper SNMPv3 credentials, it just may not receive SNMP traps.

This should be done by setting up a user and custom view like below: There should be no need for you to update the View/User after this. As new reports are made they will be available for the user to use. You can put the Custom Reports in Column Two, or make it a One collum page and increased the collumn width.. the rest…

For the Node Reboots, you can copy the existing alert in the alert manager for when a node reboots and then just add a condition to filter your custom property. Example below: For the Node Added, Volume Added/Removed you can use report writer to get this and set it to run nightly and receive email reports of what was…

If you can browse to the ESX server on the Orion server by going to https://IP_Address/ui you may want to check the following setting. Check the file c:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\VIM\SolarWinds.VIM.VMware.Jobs.dll.config and ensure the following setting is set as follows: <system.net> <defaultProxy…

I had a hitch in our upgrade, but that was more to the fact that I have two applications running under IIS on the box. I posted the resolution that fixed my issue. But other than that haven't found no other issues of yet.

You can just copy the Node View, and rename it Riverbed View. Next you can edit the Riverbed View to add the chart you would like and finally go to Views by Device Type and next to the device in question change the view to Riverbed View. If this is a UnDP generated chart/table you dont have to worry about this if the…

This tells when the interface was last changed from its current status. So if the status is currently Up, and the last status change is 1/15/2012 the interface has been in the Up state since this date, where it could have been in a warning state due to packet loss or an administratively down state.

Why not set it as: view systemview included .1 ?

Do you have the SNMP service installed on the machine? Have you tried running a packet capture on the Orion server and the SMTP server?

You will want to open your Syslog Viewer on your Orion server. There is where you can create a rules for your syslogs. (Delete, Alert..). I guess you would want to set the rule to filter the Message Pattern *WARNING: NMP: nmp_DeviceAttemptFailover:* and set the alert action to delete. You can always tinker with this to…

Report Writer really doesn't like reports with multiple UnDP's. And I don't think Orion has the capability of turning a UnDP status into a Custom Property.
