I don't like it either, Server 2008 R2 always shows 6+ interfaces and I know that it really only has one, so I have to click to change to none, then check off the ones I want. It's not that hard, but it a little bit of a pain now.

How about: SELECT SysLog.MacInMessage AS Mac_In_Message, Count(*) as CountOf FROM (SysLog INNER JOIN SysLogFacilities SysLog_SysLogFacilities ON (SysLog.SysLogFacility = SysLog_SysLogFacilities.FacilityCode) INNER JOIN SysLogSeverities SysLog_SysLogSeverities ON (SysLog.SysLogSeverity =…

If you do all that, then I don't think you'd need anything else, but if you had problems, just re-run the config wizards. That looks like a bit of work, when you could just backup/restore the DB and run the wizard (no need to match IPs/Names). I've moved my npm DB a few time doing it that way.

I recommend treating it as a few separate projects/steps. first upgrade to the newest version (I think you will need to upgrade twice 8.x to 9.x to 10.x) on both old servers, let that sit a bit and work out any issues, then move the DB, wait a couple days (there shouldn't be any issues), then move a poller, wait, then the…

I think there should be an optional download that you can install and configure on another system that's sole purpose is to monitor the other Orion systems. Support should have seen enough issues and have a database of common scenarios that this service can watch. It would be nice if it feed info into the Orion's Polling…

As the load increases, the disks on the SQL server becomes *!VERY!* important. If you want to get your feet wet with the 2950, it is pretty easy to move SQL to another box later and not that bad moving the App (it's pretty easy if you keep the same hostname and IP, just doing that is the work) Go Server 2k8 *R2* for the…

have you seen this, Not as clean as a sw native way, but it could work for right now.

If you want to clear the username and password out and have access to SQL, you can use: Delete FROM [NetPerfMon].[dbo].[WebUserSettings] where AccountID = 'Domain\User' and SettingName like 'Cirrus%' To get it to stop doing that for me, I created a application user and put that in for the username and password. It doesn't…

all I did to get mine to use SSL was to add the Cert and port binding to IIS and then start using https, but Orion's config still uses http. if I use the built-in ${URLsomething} in an alert, it still uses http, so I have to build the URL in my emails. I have seen the posts about how to do it "the right way", but I haven't…

I have had a problem running the configuration wizard when I removed the http (this may have been fixed), so I set the Orion website up on http over 8080 (through the wizard), and created the new website as you described.

I was, but the constant input of data was causing issues on a different (customer facing) database having to wait and well... I was told Orion's DB needed to move, I moved it onto a virtual server running 2008 R2 Core with SQL 2008 R2 and it runs great. Let me know if you want any more info.

Something like an alert for application availability < 95% for 20 minutes. I just checked the alerts gui and it's not there sadness. You would need to do an Custom SQL alert to do it. Something like: where APM_ApplicationAlertsData.ApplicationID in ( SELECT [ApplicationID] FROM…

Here is SQL to find that: select Caption from nodes where not Caption in ( SELECT distinct [FullName] FROM [NetPerfMon].[dbo].[ContainerMemberSnapshots] where [EntityDisplayName] = 'Node' ) You might be able to create a custom SQL report that runs that. I added a SQL experiance to APM that watches the Count(*) for that and…

Using the property Location, to add it, one would: Edit: \inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\NetPerfMon\NodePopup.aspx Copy lines 16-19 an insert as new lines 20-23 Modify table header (th) and table data (td) <tr> <th>Location</th> <td colspan="2"><%=Node.Location%></td> </tr> I can't get it to work with a custom property and every…

Create a custom field and some how link the map with that custom field is "mapurl" value like "">orion/.../MapView.aspx and the view embeds that. (?) I figure it's possible, but I don't know how.

Try (I am not positive about ${NodeID}, but I am pretty sure): ${SQL: SELECT [CustomPollerStatus].[Status] FROM [CustomPollerAssignment] inner join CustomPollers on CustomPollers.CustomPollerID = CustomPollerAssignment.CustomPollerID inner join CustomPollerStatus on CustomPollerStatus.CustomPollerAssignmentID =…

First one: what is the alert set for and, what is the reset for it? (It's an APM monitor right?) My gut feeling on it is that you have it set to rest once the condition are no longer true, so it doesn't reset because every poll it's still true, so it doesn't re trigger. That could be fixed by making the reset be based on…

I do a daily show run/compare and email on change/issue. To set that up, create job to download the config every day at 2am (?), check "Last Config", "Send config change notifi ... HTML ..." and "Only save Configs..." in the "Changed Configs" section. You need to also fill out the notification section, but check the "only…

You could setup an APM tempate associated to your internal DNS server. Use 1 or more http user experience that goes to a reliable internet source yahoo, google, etc (take out the http://{IP}:{PORT}/ and put http://www.example.com) - that won't actually poll against you DNS server even though it is assigned to it. also a…

Oh, switch the DB to simple not full recovery model. Unless you are doing SQL replication, and in that case, shorten you time window between log shipments or check to see why the target or source sql server is not letting go of those logs. In either case, right click the database and shrink it, you should get most of those…

Found this one - http://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/101804#101804 basically open http....../Orion/Admin/Settings.aspx

from the orion server, can you get to the ESX and VC servers via https? Does each ESX server node in orion have the "Poll for VMware" checked? are you using the root user? if not, can you try that (if you have an issues with that, just use it for testing, and it can be fixed later). Does the VC server have "Poll for…

These would be my top three in order - C) All users subject to approval (including Administrators) - G) Approved Requests to be returned to Requester for execution (would be in addition to today's mode - approved requests executed right away - not in replacement) - A) Audit trail of all requests and approvals (logfile)…

I don't think there is, but it could be that it did the statistic roll when the scheduled one ran, but when you ran it a second time, it didn't need to do it so it skipped that step. Look in the Orion directory for files called swdebugMaintenance.log and swdebugMaintenance.log.#. These are the log file, you can look to see…

A 64 bit OS doesn't actually use PAE, it's physical address table is already large enough to handle at least 2TB of RAM without an extension. So, basically solarwinds is recommending a 64bit OS. But if you use 32 bit, either you will get a slow down due to PAE or RAM starvation.

try "update Accounts Set Password = '107-418190326507573368052-0229-09646' where AccountID = 'Admin'" That should change the password to "admin"

One thing I always tell people is to make sure you limit SQL's memory usage. If the server has 16GB of RAM, limit SQL to 15 (or 14) - if the OS has to fight to run TCP/IP, Server, LSASS, or anything else, then it doesn't matter that how much faster SQL is because it took 1/2 GB more. Run simple recovery mode - unless you…

That shouldn't be happening. It should mark them as unreachable. What is the timing on your alerts? (i.e. Check alert every 1 minute, condition must exist for 5 minutes) Silly question, did you check to make sure the dependency is the right order? Group-SubnetA is dependent on FirewallA and it didn't get FirewallA…

An application will be the worst status of any component. so if a component becomes critical the application also becomes critical.

Without the trapvarbinds data, all snmp events will have no data. They don't convert the trap to text and store it in one string, they store it in the way one should for a relational database by using indexes and multiple tables. If you truncate the varbinds, you should truncate the main trap table. Check out this and…
