make this a feature request as well and I'd certainly vote it up! great call.

ditto. I think the only time you have to worry is if you have something auto populating the custom property.

my understanding... the reason for this is because the groups do not tie its members directly to the appropriate objects and the information on that objects' table; but works more as a single object. So if you have more than one interface down, the group information is treated as a single entity with a single status and…

another option would be to create separate map that has text blocks or static labels with the "friendly" descriptions and not using object "macro/dynamic" labels. This would allow for a very high level presentation for them as well.

the transient is also a "clean up" mechanism. I have mine set to 30 days. we do not use DHCP (don't manage admins in IPAM). so if a server goes off-line, after 30 days [for us], the IP will be reclaimed and all fields cleared; status will be set to available. even though our processes for reclaiming resources is…

cool, thx. The second is close, but I'm looking to go one level deeper, where if you expand the component check within the app monitor, you have all the "aspects" of the components with their individual threshold capabilities... i.e. for a windows service: cpu threshold physical memory threshold I/O write I/O Read ... I…

Thanks aLTeReGo, I was looking for this under AppInsight part.

typically, this happens when trying to use some more advanced SQL functions. I just had one where I used a CASE statement a few times. A reasonable workaround is to create the query as a stored procedure and just have the report call the stored procedure.

Sure Enough, it's there. Thanks for the heads up.

be able to use macros on the mapmaker pointing to info in that DB - like configs, IP, subnet mask, etc...

shut down ALL NPM services (any SW prodcut that will talk to DB) on your servers for 10.x I can't remember if I've done this before or not, but I think I have... back up your 9.5. copy that to your 10.x sql server. (keep bu on 9.5 so you have it). take one system and run config wizard, that should recognize the DB as…

actually, removed complexity - clicking on system name won't take you to device summary page in NPM, but not a big deal. get report from content update here

In addition, it would be nice to be able to select a specific policy in the web gui and update ONLY that policy's cache - currently it updates all no matter what is checked or filtered on.

see THIS LINK for content share for report #3 have fun.

found this on "ccie pursuit blog" site: logging origin-id hostname logging origin-id r4(config)#logg origin-id ? hostname Use origin hostname as ID ip Use origin IP address as ID string Define a unique text string as ID r4(config)#logg origin-id hostname

thanks for the heads up!

you can also do Vendor IN ('Cisco','Network Appliance Corporation','VMWare','Palo Alto Networks') either way should work.

I took our visio diagram of the network and basically made it the background for my "top" level maps using a cloud for switch fabrics and remote locations. for headend devices, I made the icon for the router a map and linked it to a submap that contained the router object as well as the major physical interfaces. etc...…

FYI, I had a ticket open w/ support. we went round and round....ultimately, the profiles get deleted regardless of last time they ran or if they are scheduled to run again...irrelevant. you need to set the retention to 9999 or something. I had quite a few /18s set up to be scanned and have to re-enter...though I'm waiting…

Agreed. A good question. I've got a feature request in that they be [or create] alert instance specific [CPs], rather than alert (config or object) tied. I haven't come up with a good use case at that level.

a [MANUAL] interim workaround might be to create a custom field and set existing IPs to 1, then as new ones are added, the default value would be null or 0. report on that, then go in and update that column to 1 after the report...

if you are looking to collect history, status, and alert on this, I'd check to see if they had SNMP OIDs or table you could poll to get that.

This did work for me as well. I have simply written a batch file to bounce those services and set up a scheduled task to do that every hour. Definitely need a permanent fix, but at least I don't have to roll back to 9.1...ugh! Thanks HERE is the .bat file contents: net stop "SolarWinds Information Service" net start…

I've asked about this as well (opened a ticket and forum I think), and there didn't seem to be a way for them to change that. It will go red if down, but it does stay green for unknown. I was also not too keen on that.

I've done this, but with node icons. in visio, create/copy your icon. ungroup several times to verify no groupings left. change background colors. save as different names and change colors accordingly as vsd. YOU ALSO NEED TO SAVE AS .wmf types (see attached for some examples), as this is what Orion uses. Save to…

in the alert email, you can send a link to ack the alert. so if need on website, you could probably gen a report and put that on page via resource. I need to do this but haven't gotten to it yet.

We had Atlantic Digital come on-site to do some SAM training; I think they have sites as well though. They did a great job. Kind of bundled with some best practices and environment optimization consulting. Best I can tell, those are the only 3 players.

I created a SQL job that runs nightly (this removes caption from all nodes): the step (code) is: update nodes set Caption=NULL The system will re-populate the field as it does rediscovery (defaults every 30 min). for maps, since you have to touch everyone anyways, I suggest using macros for the names. change the <pre…

I had this problem a while back. if you have the space on that drive (assuming both on same drive, probably need around 300GB), go into SQL and select the correct DB. Try doing a full backup. I believe that usually truncates the log file. If that doesn't work, run the query: DBCC SHRINKFILE (NetPerfMon_log, TRUNCATEONLY)…

ok, cool; I just didn't see them when expanding the DB and rolling through the Hierarchy (like the expandability feature btw). really hoping upcoming F5 work includes "member" info have a good weekend.
