I think you might be onto it with the same poller vs different poller, unfortunately, I can not test that because I have only one poller. Is it a bug? Anyone out there have two poller and the time to check?

The ldf is basically a file that contains a journal of what is going to be done to the main data file. If SQL lets you purge/shrink the ldf, then it has committed the changes everywhere it was told. The conversion to 10.0 caused my temp db and ldf to grow a lot because of some structure changes in the syslog (i think it…

With only 4 disks it's not that much. It would feel like 2 instead of 3... if raid 10 across 10 disks it would be 5 vs 9; much bigger difference. So, yeah with 4 disks, not too much to it. But I am a bit of a perfectionist so if I see 3 > 2, then do it that way.

I got mine working again by installing 10.2 RC2 - which ran the config wizard... What ever, it is working.

I had the same jumpy graph too, and I got it to smooth out by forcing it to run only one playback at a time see http://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/167700#167700 But be careful, what I did could mess things up and is not SW supported. If you don't give enough time for everything to complete, then you can cause issues for…

I am also starting to have this happen with the WEbCacheV01.dat file. I stopped all services and deleted the profiles and restarted them, I am waiting to see if it comes back. I am interested to see what happens with this, let us know if you find anything - if mine comes back, I'll post anything I find.

I had to set this up again; I didn't have it in my production environment, just the test one that has been deleted. This is what I did: Create/Modify a Discovery Profile: Create snmp list Uncheck poll for VMware Change to "Specific Nodes" (!!!! important for SQL query below !!!!) Add one IP address that I know is in Orion…

The custom property is great if it is for some kind of standard thing, but if it is a one off... like just this department, for these couple components, for these couple nodes, then: Trigger ... All ... Status down Trigger ... any ... Component Name = 1.exe Component Name = 2.exe Trigger ... any ... Node Name = Server 1…

have you tried re-running the config wizard?

I get that there is definitions for it, but a standard needs to be established and followed. Microsoft 2^30 Linux 2^30 Memory 2^30 hard drive 10^9 Mac 10^9 My opinion is once 1 byte = 10^2 or 10^3 or (10^3)/4 (?) (100 or 1000 or 250 (?)) combinations, then we should switch everything to the base 10 system, but computers…

Check to see it it is an orion problem or an email server problem by TSing to to the orion server and manually sending the smtp message like this (where mail is the hostname or ip of your mail server): telnet mail 25 -- or -- putty -raw -P 25 mail HELO xxxx.com MAIL FROM: xxxxx@xxxxx.com RCPT TO: xxxxxx@xxxxx.com DATA…

realtime config change will work with NPM syslog (I am doing this). I don't think it would work if syslog is separated from NCM. (NPM on Server A recieving syslogs, but Server B running NCM - to do that, you need to forward specific syslogs to server B) I use NPM's syslog and disable NCM's. I think the reason there is two…

Custom properties are not done through the web yet, connect to the orion server, start, programs, solarwinds orion, grouping and access controll, custom properties editor.

You need a poller for each duplicate zone (a separate windows server) that can access the node by normal means (i.e. open command prompt, ping x.x.x.x). All the pollers also need to be able to access the database server (how ever that is accomplished, but the server just needs to be able to get to the DB). Each poller has…

for a scheduler, you could use windows task that runs a batch file: @echo off rem Set SQLCMD="Update Nodes Set N_Mute='Yes' where NodeID in (1,2,3,4)" Set SQLCMD="Update NetPerfMon.dbo.Nodes Set N_Mute='Yes' where Caption Like '<servername>.%'" sqlcmd -S <ORION_DB_SERVER> -E -Q %SQLCMD% -h -1 -W Another cool concept might…

yeah, that's why I ended up only using it on switches and routers (no snmp service to restart - on a cisco)

can you use: run external program: c:\this.bat "${IP}" "${vbData2}" This.bat: @Echo $~2 on $~1 > this.txt

I would try: repairing the orion modules (from add/remove) and re-run the config wizard. Or, I had a problem where some stuff wasn't being recorded (ping times) and it turn out to be a sql job that was suppose to re-index tables but it got hung somewhere in the process, so I rebooted the SQL and it started working.

In that case, try these: --Check for nodes whose vmware name is not the same as the orion caption select caption, Name, UUID, Nodes.NodeID from VIM_VirtualMachines inner join Nodes on VIM_VirtualMachines.NodeID = nodes.NodeID where Name <> caption --Check for Nodes that are in VMware and Orion but not associated to…

check out this thread, I hole it helps.

Sometimes K.I.S.S. is the best way (edit your snmpd.conf file - not sure where it is on your server but try /etc/snmp/snmd.conf) this one use v2c readonly to any thing that can get to the server over UDP 161 (you need to protect it with iptables or some type of firewall): rocommunity public sysLocation 1234 Main St,…

in exchange you can delegate control of a distribution list to a non exchange nor AD admin by setting them as an owner.

I agree, it could also be that it says $Component on $Node or $Application on $node, etc. Like an Interface's ${FullName}. And that would get all the information to you.

depending on how adventurous you are, you *could* edit the html directly (inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\NetPerfMon\NodePopup.aspx), but every time you run the config wizard, it will get over written. Plus I don't think solarwinds can officially support it.

Check how much space your temp directory has (usually the same as your C drive). Maybe it is trying to extract to %temp% and doesn't have the room.

I've had the problem a few time and found a shot gun approach works sometimes, here is my notes Shotgun: cd /d %Systemroot%\system32\wbem winmgmt /regserver for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer wmiadap /f winmgmt.exe /resyncperf winmgmt.exe /verifyrepository for %i in (*.mof, *.mfl) do…

I would sugest you get Power GUI and export the full list. www.powergui.org/entry.jspa or EcoShell vizioncore.com/.../vecoshell

@KCWayner - You might want to use PowerState not GuestState If VMtools aren't running, GuestState show that the server is off, but PowerState is just that. SELECT VirtualMachines.DisplayName, VirtualMachines.OperatingSystem, VirtualMachines.PowerState, Nodes.Caption FROM VirtualMachines INNER JOIN Nodes ON…

Add in default values for custom properties. I have a few properties that are almost always set to the same value, except specific use cases.

oh, wow you still have VoIP? I think VoIP was renamed and upgraded to IP SLA. That could be the reason that message showed up (or I could be sending you down a rabbit hole if you listen to me).
