Once the alert triggers, it won't send another email till it re-triggers, it won't re-trigger till it resets. Time constraints only effect when the alert will trigger, not when it is allowed to be triggered. If the time constraint is set from 1am - 2am, it will trigger at 1am, but it will stay triggered at 3am.

isn't the issue Orion usually has with SQL due to disk access? using SQL compression might lower the disk access while increasing CPU utilization which is usually low on the SQL server. My opinion is that it would help to speed the application up.

Good Point Hemi - I actually run a powershell script in a windows task scheduler that goes out and grab data from other source (AD, Excel Spreadsheet, other database, etc) and writes it into custom properties, and formats it so I just have to use ${NotificationInfo} or $PAD_OU} and it's all there. You could even have it…

That is basically what I did - one group per application. The biggest issue with that work around is that I can't put in a custom field for the primary technicians. When it is assigned to the node, I can grab a node custom field, but with groups you get no way of using custom properties. Now if groups had custom…

Hi Denny, Will the Orion native vSphere support in Orion 10 support ESX4i as well as ESX4? Thanks John I have a copy of the beta and I have ESXi 4 servers, there are some things that work and some that don't with ESXi. VMware doesn't provide the same data in the snmp for ESX and ESXi. SolarWinds is still taking some info…

Scott is right with the Suppression Tab, suppression is hardly ever used, just add things to your trigger like NodeName not equal. They really should add a warning to the suppression tab, it confuses too many people.

I formated that up a bit: SELECT n.NodeID, n.IP_Address, n.Status, n.StatusLED, n.UnManaged, n.UnManageFrom, n.UnManageUntil, n.[External], n.PollInterval, n.EngineID, n.ObjectSubType, n.AgentPort, n.SNMPVersion, n.Community, n.StatCollection, n.RediscoveryInterval, n.DynamicIP, n.DNS, n.SysName, n.Caption,…

Add me as one who wants this feature.

I have the same thing happening and I clear the folder out once a month.

oh - I should fully read things first. If you are only changing the trap destination (1), you could use: reg add \\<computer>\hklm\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\TrapConfiguration\<TRAPSTRING> /v 1 /t REG_SZ /d 1.1.1.1 /f

I have created 4 monitors, each associated with a different node. Each with setting like the one above. The issue is the I have to use the url with the FQDN to test the sites. The FQDN will always resolve to the VIP. The 4 monitors end up only monitoring the VIP 4 times. In order for it to work; the monitor would need to…

Ah! Then maybe your first step would be to migrate the database, then upgrade App, then move App to new server. (I only say to move to the new server last because you will have a clean App/Web server in the end).

I thought you also needed to figure out how to add them to Orion to be monitored. I guess we ought to clear up what we are talking about. If you have a them in Orion, you would do it like mcbride said, but if you don't have them in Orion, then run discovery to list all the ports out, then use the post I linked to import…

Wow! 210137 info! your getting about 2200 a second and 1700 of them are info (based on 120 secs). I agree with Questionario, you might want to get rid of stuff above Warning. You could also get a Different syslog server (maybe kiwi) in front of that server that saves everything, then forward only the warning ones to orion.

I had a similar thing. APM history wasn't getting trimmed for a long time, then when I contacted support, they gave me a similar script and it filled my drive due to transaction log size too. I ended up mounting an temporary iSCSI disk and moved the transaction log there (then back after I was done). SQL needs a lot of…

Advanced alerts would be no problem, but I don't know about basic (I don't use them).

what about solarwind SLA product? I don't exactly get what you are looking for... That's only a estimated performance for each QoS class. If you are trying to see how much in each class when it leaves the interface, unfortunatly netflow won't work because Cisco's QoS engine doesn't tag until after it provides the info to…

you can add individual users, you do it in the individual users tab instead of the groups tab.

do the "Plus 1" here

Jeff... What! You can do that! Wow! sorry, don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but so, as soon as a sessions exits conf t, the trap/syslog (does it have to be based on the trap, or could it be the syslog event?) goes to orion, but how do you kick off the config download? Is is a every device poll, or just the one where…

another thing, can you open a cmd prompt on NPM server and ping the node when it reports the node is down? can you paste in the results?

you could check box the disable alert actions check box and the alerts will trigger but no actions will run.

I figured out how to make the change and it works way better... can you guess when I enabled it based on these screen shots? Also, everything is completing faster now. The total time for the 5 transactions is around 100 sec, which mean the player is busy for only 33% of the time. I don't understand what the down side would…

It will basically just remove all the rows out of the Traps (and trapvarbinds) table(s). The tables are dependent on each other and useless with out the matching data in one another. The only "danger" is that the traps in those tables are gone. Of course you could/should make a full backup of the database and you could…

dclick - No it doesn't skew any data, it makes it look like it is one device with multiple interfaces (the netflow data contains which interface and which direction the traffic was going on that interface). This is way better instead of needing to find 2,3,4 devices (IPs) that each have a little information about the…

I hope I'm not right, but I think if you upgrade to 10.x, you will need the SL250 (55 + 64 + 95 = 214) and then you will only have 36 more elements to add. But if we get back to where you started - on the switch or server, well, that's a hard question, the errors counters could be different depending on if it's a transmit…

Oh, and like NCM's manager program, the page could keep re-loading empty and be ready to add another node after each time you click add.

Also, what is the trigger condition? You may get a delay because it is set to alert on down, there is another delay before it is marked down, check under "Orion Polling Settings", "Node Warning Level" also, check to see if you have a delay under the trigger condition.

One other factor to add is on the first page of your alert, Alert Evaluation Frequency, how often the alerting engine checks for the condition, so after adatole's 12:02:50 you have to add that number - of course this is all worst case.

Nice! Sounds like a lot of work and brute force to get it all in there and working right! Thanks for the post too... (I'm gonna bookmark it just in case I ever need to do that) So everything looks *ok* now?
