  • Oh, % use on that can be effected by maintenance mode on the esx hosts, or upgrades of esx hosts, or new esx hosts added to cluster. I recently upgraded two of my hosts from PE2950 to R710's and my graph looks a bit like yours. But when you look at the graph in vCenter, you can see that the CPU MHz stayed about the same,…
  • you can also edit c:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\SEUM\Player\SolarWinds.SEUM.Agent.Service.exe.config and change numWorkerProcesses to lower the number of profiles it creates.
  • Try this: SELECT TOP 10000 Convert(DateTime,Floor(Cast((DateTime) as Float)),0) AS SummaryDate, Nodes.NodeID AS NodeID, Interfaces.InterfaceID AS InterfaceID, Nodes.Caption AS NodeName, Nodes.VendorIcon AS Vendor_Icon, Interfaces.Caption AS Interface_Caption, Interfaces.InterfaceIcon AS Interface_Icon,…
  • ok, I think I read this wrong at first, this isn't about pulling out the details, it is about being able to use the detail to differentiate between the alerts. (right?) What I boiled the traps down to is: 07/25/2011 11:02 : UPS-MIB:upsTraps.0.3 SNMP Trap snmpTrapOID:= UPS-MIB:upsTraps.0.3 (1.3.6.1.2.1.33.2.0.3)…
  • change order by, maybe "Maxbps_95" *edit* oh maybe "order by Maxbps_95 desc" would be better
  • What about these queries? select Nodes.Caption, IP_Address, Count(*) As Interfaces from Nodes inner join Interfaces on Interfaces.NodeID = Nodes.NodeID group by Nodes.Caption, IP_Address select Nodes.Caption, IP_Address, Count(*) As Volumes from Nodes inner join Volumes on Volumes.NodeID = Nodes.NodeID group by…
  • I don't think it's solarwinds engine that is the problem, well not completely. I just don't think the OS can keep up with the number of network connections. I know solarwinds started to grab more information in one poll, but it still does multiple connections per node and I think that is just killing the network stack of…
  • I use a batch file for mine, but you have to trim part of the address of. @echo off if %1. == . goto blank set address=%1 set Use_User=%username% rem set address aliases if /i %address:~0,4% == ssh: set address=%address:~6,-1% if /i %address:~0,7% == telnet: set address=%address:~9% start putty %Use_User%@%address% goto…
  • Windows devices? Do they have windows firewall running? if so, packets that are blocked by windows rules are counted as drops. Even if the rules are wide open, some packets are dropped by the firewall (some unicast or multicast, etc). TCP packets should get re-transmitted and the tcp window should get automatically…
  • The part I am not liking is the integration. NPM+APM = great integration. Now add NCM... yuck! Separate users. Separate web consoles, but you can install the integration piece, although to get it to work, you need to store your password and if you change your password... if you refresh a web page the domain might lock your…
  • I would really like to see this too... I am trying to get a powershell script running with it. I hear the new APM integrates with powershell (although a little buggy) now, but it's gonna be a custom script for each datastore :(
  • Ah, I didn't copy my whole email... here is the part with the acknowledgment notes: Notes: ${SQL: Select top 1 substring(notes,16,200) from alertstatus where activeobject = ${nodeid}and ObjectType = 'Node' order by AcknowledgedTime desc}
  • Open Alert Manager on Server - New Alert - Change type in trigger condition to "Custom SQL Alert" Put in the SQL statement I put in before. In your notification email, you could include ${SQL:Select AcknowledgedBy from AlertStatus where ObjectName = '${Caption}'} to get who acknowledged it. Is this what you needed?
  • REGEX for 10.0.0.0 to 10.31.255.254: "(10\.([0-9]|[1-2][0-9]|3[0-1])\..*)"
  • there are no "This operation is restricted by the administrator", but there are: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: A specified parameter was not correct. System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: A general system error occurred: Operation was canceled System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: A general…
  • One other thing that I found was to make sure your roll up is happening. I had something break once in the nightly roll-up, and it was a month or two till I noticed it. So it was an extra month or two of full detail which really slowed things down for me. So watch c:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\Logs\Orion\swdebugMaintenance.log…
  • For the SQL help, here are a couple queries that can get you a start (these will only work on the newer versions of Orion): This one gives you all the addresses than have been discovered for each node: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT…
  • Along the lines skilldibop was going, on the router do "sh ip int brief" and adjust/ensure "ip flow-export source _______" is what is the ip in orion
  • The SQL I can help with, but I don't know where you are going to get the OS version and patch level, but here is something: SELECT Nodes.Caption AS NodeName, Nodes.IP_Address AS Host_IP_Address, VirtualMachines.DisplayName AS VM_Host, VirtualMachines.IPAddress AS Guest_IP_Address, VirtualMachines.GuestState AS…
  • Add me as a +1 to wanting this feature.
  • in VMware console, does it show the right IP for the guest (VMware show 1.2.3.4 and you are monitoring 1.2.3.4)? I had a problem once that VMware showed a hearbeat NIC's IP, but I am monitoring the public IP. That was fixed in a later version, but maybe this might have something to do with it. Maybe vmware tools might need…
  • I can't check my work but this *might* do it (or at least be close). SELECT Nodes.Caption, PortIfIndex.Status as PortIfIndex, StpPortState.Status as StpPortState FROM [CustomPollers] inner join [CustomPollerAssignment] on [CustomPollerAssignment].[CustomPollerID] = [CustomPollers].[CustomPollerID] inner join [Nodes] on…
  • @bhooper - if you want to use ncm, you might need to get it in text format, but you would have to format it afterwards, if you added all eth interfaces to NPM, you could do a SQL query or report against them. @Jasper - You could make this a batch file and schedule it with windows scheduler. sqlcmd -S <DatabaseServer> -d…
  • If you like this one, this one is pretty good too: TIPS & TRICKS: Stop the madness! Avoiding alerts but continuing to pull statistics.
  • I watch for disk failures by sending snmp traps back to the orion server and forwarding those with email. Dell: StorageManagement-MIB:storageManagementEvent.0.904 StorageManagement-MIB:storageManagementEvent.0.903 StorageManagement-MIB:storageManagementEvent.0.901 HP: CPQHLTH-MIB:compaq.0.3008 CPQHLTH-MIB:compaq.0.3046…
  • That is the spot - SQL is configured right out of the box to consume as much memory as it can (2147483647 - 2 PB, man I wish I could afford servers with that much RAM!), but I have found this to cause issues by starving the underlying OS. I would suggest you set the RAM to 3*1024=3072 to leave 1gb for the OS and only use…
  • I created a case yesterday: Case # 508656
  • To create custom properties, you need to use the fat client, TS to the orion server, start, programs, solarwinds orion, grouping and access controll, custom properties editor. Add, build a custom..., Add Property to "Volumes", put in the name, then I would use with the "Yes/No" (text would work too). Then the alert would…
  • this might work, but it would be a little wierd. This OID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1 lists the bridge port to MAC addresses. One thing though, if you are using a vlan other than default, your SNMP string needs to include the vlan with @<VLAN>. ie public for vlan 45 would be public@45
