netlogix

have you checked (from cmd): sc query SolarwindsSyslogService (Solarwinds Syslog service running?) netstat -ano | find "514" (You should get a line like: " UDP [::]:514 *:* 2212" if it is listening) tasklist | find "SyslogService.exe" (Make sure the PID is the same on this line and the previous - maybe something else is…

I have the same problem and I think it has to do with dns. I have hostnames in the "Accespt SNMP packets from these hosts" for some nodes and those are the ones that tend to have the most issues like that for me.

when you say LDAP, do you mean windows AD, or actually LDAP like you would use for a Linux authentication. LDAP - I don't know, but I don't think so. AD - Yes, as long as the Orion server is part of that domain, or has some type of trust with that domain. I think the user account needs to be able to log on the orion server…

Solarwinds doesn't recommend virtual SQL and if your implementation slows down, most of the time it is because your SQL can't keep up. The most common problems are due to disk latency. That is also a very common problem in a shared infrastructure. But, my SQL is virtual and I have no problems, but my company has invested…

I use a custom property to group all of my nodes and only ping my iLO's. I also rename them to iLO_<SERVERNAME>. A manual process, but I know it works and only have to do it once. You can do many different things depending on what you want to monitor, you could just ping and not even use SNMP, or you could have APM log…

when you say "vCenter", do you mean the windows 64 bit manager server? Or the ESX server? (the one you had to upgrade to 64bit to get to 4.1) if you edit the node for the windows server, does it show it's configured Or being polled: Also, does the windows server have snmp enabled?

Sure is. here is an MS article

I don't know how to do that, but you could create a custom SQL Node alert with this condition: "where not Caption in (SELECT distinct [FullName] FROM [NetPerfMon].[dbo].[ContainerMemberSnapshots] where [EntityDisplayName] = 'Node')"

Just to make sure; what products do you have and are migrating/upgrading? I upgraded mine from Server 2003 x86 to Server 2008 R2 (x64) and have NPM, APM, and NCM. I shut down my old server (actually just un-plugged it from the network). Backed up the DB (Just in case). Turned on my 2008 R2 server and gave it the same IP…

With the 2nd, yes, each PC has to have something setup on it to know what a URL telnet://x.x.x.x means and what to do with that url.

I just got notice that the RC is available to download! Yea!

I signed the script and turned debug logging on, and it is working now... not sure if it was the no change change that always fixes things, but now it is working. *edit* - I used "Run the script under specified account" which made it run as the domain user who's profile wasn't set to have powershell run unrestricted.

hey aLTeReGo‌, I don't know if this feature falls under you, but can you get a PM to look at or comment on it?

you could use excel and create a big fat list containing the individual IPs (256*256*4, wow!), but that might be an ugly solution.

you could download and install sql express outside of the install wizard. www.microsoft.com/.../express.aspx

Custom SQL Node Alert: Where Not IP_Address in ( SELECT IP FROM SysLog where [DateTime] > DATEADD(HOUR,-<_X_HOURS>,GETDATE()) group by IP having COUNT(IP) > <_X_NUMBER> )

I have had an issue with report writer and custom properties and you had to have the custom property editor updated the report writer schema. Open Custom Properties Editor, right click in toolbar ribbon, customize, Commands tab, properties section, bottom, drag and drop "Update Report Schemas" onto ribbon. Close and click…

This is what I use in the Reset action: Time from alert to now: ${SQL:Select Floor(Convert(float,(Convert(datetime,'${Year}-${MM}-${DD} ${HH}:${Minute}:${Second} ${AM/PM}')-Convert(datetime,'${AlertTriggerTime}'))))} days and ${SQL:Select Convert(time,Convert(datetime,'${Year}-${MM}-${DD} ${HH}:${Minute}:${Second}…

The thread you referenced is for a reboot alert that re-triggers after Orion services are restart (or the Orion server is rebooted). If this is a node down (can not ping it), then it should still be an active alert. Can you send a screen shot of the alert's trigger conditions?

I was having issues with discovery in 10.1.3 too, so I upgraded to 10.2(RC2) and now it is working. Some else suggested just re-running the config wizard and that might fix it. Other wise sign up for the RC or wait a week or two and get the final release.

you could try "WMIC OS GET InstallDate" I don't know how to get that into Orion, but a text file... "for /f %a in (ListOfServers.txt) do WMIC /node:%a OS GET CSName, InstallDate >> ListOfInstallDates.txt"

I know this is an old thread, but I found this works: StopNetPerfMon.exe -stopall <Sleep> StopNetPerfMon.exe -startall

I don't have NTA, but my setup is a virtual SQL server (separate guest than orion) running Server 2008 R2 Core and SQL 2008 R2 (not a MS supported os/app combo, but I am just curious about seeing Core), and a 2008 R2 Full running NPM 10.1.2, APM 4.0.1, and NCM 6.1 and it works great for me. (oh, people may tell you not to…

easiest way to set up alerts to go to different groups based on node is to setup a custom property (i.e. Contact} and put the email address(es) in there then set the alert's "to" field to it (i.e. ${Contact}) Also, here are two good post, a bit advanced, but might help show the power of custom properties…

I saw somethings that make me believe that HF2 is superseded by SP1, so you can't apply HF2. HF1 has to do with html email format, and you don't need to apply it unless you are having issues with html email.

have you check to see if some basic alert is causing it? To get to basic alerts, you have to open the old windows fat management client and go to basic alerts there. If you run these query, then you might be able to narrow it down. Basic Alert: SELECT AlertID FROM [NetPerfMon].[dbo].[AlertActions] Where [Extra1] like…

when you say bandwidth, do you mean LAN or WAN/Internet bandwidth? if it's LAN, you could use NPM (or engineer tool set) and monitor every port to look to see what port is the culprit, then back trace that to a computer. WAN/Internet would need to look at the router/firewall with a span/netflow like everyone else is saying.

have you tried ${SQL: Select (100 - ${VolumePercentUsed})}

I don't know how to produce it in Report writer, but this is a SQL script I use, but it is given to another department in text only.

I have also noticed times when I go to the page and the databases are not listed. It's been hard pinpointing when/how it's happening, so I haven't open a support case yet... nothing worse than getting on the phone and not be able to predict/re-produce the issue.
