  • I suggested to my guys that they add a node with SNMP; then create a group for that node with subgroups for each type (volume,interface,cpu,memory,hw,etc..) and add those objects to the specific group. you can then find out what components specifically are monitored.
  • schedule a job with the appropriate command (may have to get creative with Regex and use the | include for the script command or advanced option to filter results). The output can be emailed and you can schedule the job to run at a frequency. an example of one I use (this gives me a list of VPN tunnels and what mode they…
  • I just upgraded and only issue I had was views, which several people had...I'd open a ticket. good luck ....disregard. sorry - wrong product, although my co-worker upgraded with no issues...so definitely open a ticket.

  • I don't know if there is an easier way, but I've been using SQL scripts to copy the data from one to another. Let me know if you want examples
  • it is actually a separate (free) download. go to customer portal -> LEM -> choose download -> under AGENT DOWNLOADS -> both (I think): reports installer Crystal Reports Runtime Installer for Windows (required for Reports)

  • you can get pop-ups to work only when you roll over an object. so to be clear, you want to be able to customize the "tool tips" for an object type map; right? This is not an option for maps. There is an option for groups, but that may not work for you. I'd put a feature request in, if it makes sense to. remember that tool…
  • I believe you can edit that interface and select option to use custom bandwidth, setting your 5 Mb there. also, using the bandwidth statement on the devices interface, Orion will update appropriately, but beware this could affect routing depending on what protocol you are using.
  • Here's the pic of existing report
  • is everything plugged into the switch or ISP directly into router directly into FW? if not, one option would be (depending on the switch) would be to vlan it out and get netflow from the switch, then you'd be able to differentiate which ISP it came from as well.
  • not clear on what you mean - display group? You could always do a custom property, but that would be manual... how did you define the other display groups. give example of properties or columns used to define and I might be able to help :)
  • only way I can think to do this is via SQL statement. AS ALWAYS, when working directly with DB, you should BACKUP your DB before doing any work, and shut down your polling engines. I tend to do a select first to verify I'm getting the result set before I make the changes... SELECT * FROM NetPerfMon WHERE <Location> LIKE…
  • IPSLA and NTA are housed within the NetPerfMon database, thus those will be backed up with your existing NPM maintenance plan. as for NCM, I would get with your DBA and have them back up the database(s), personally. There may be some way to do this within Orion, but I don't know that off the top of my head.
  • I think you are correct in that it wont be overwritten. I expect (and use it) for a.k.a. and sometimes for hosts names when I reserve and system not online so if stays reserved too long, I know what it was intended for. Also helps when they don't match up, like you are proposing. SW? can you validate?
  • Interesting. upon reading other forums from older versions, they said to check views. I logged in as admin and the page came up, no problem. Logged in as me and my "Netflow traffic analysis view" is set to default, but my only options are default or none. Any thoughts? thx
  • what kind of changes - infrastructure/hardware/IP. I assume you know about macros right? can you give a specific example of what you are looking for?
  • you might be able to adapt from this report, which counts the number of instances that utilization goes over 45% within the last 7 days for serial (sub)interfaces where the hostname is like 'R-XRT%' <Report Version="1.0" Group="Custom SQL" Title="Customer WAN > 45% COUNT" Type="SQL" TypeDescription="" Icon="SQL" Schema=""…
  • I think you might be able to do this in Orion using SQL query or report writer using advanced SQL -- by looking for unrouted VLAN interfaces (assuming they are managed). See below -- notes are in between /* and */ /* It appears Orion uses VLAN-xxx if unrouted, or V[L or l]xxx for routed vlan interfaces. so for arguments…
  • I gotta ask if you found a projector that supports 3400x1600?? :) I'd love to get my hands on that bad boy!
  • the only way I can think to do this is by writing some very simple custom HTML using frames. put a view into each frame. then point that user's page to the custom HTML page set up. I'm sure there is a better way, but...
  • I always get bitten by McAfee blocking outbound to port 25 (prevent worm mass emails). Also, our SNMP server is ACL'd...so, you have to add all of your polling engine IPs and/or check McAfee/antivirus on each system. also test via command line by telnetting to server on port 25 -> google test sending email via cmd command…
  • I agree. This made my life a lot more difficult. Curious to see SW response.
  • open the veiw you want to link to. Copy the URL edit the menu you want customized and add the button... for the URL, paste what you copied earlier. it is good practice to not hardcode "server" i.e. "/Orion/SummaryView.aspx?viewid=35" the above is one I have set up.
  • I'm having same issue and have seen several threads with htis issue. Based on Danny L's comment in This thread, Orion uses: ifInDiscards = "1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.13." ifInErrors = "1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14." ifOutDiscards = "1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.19." ifOutErrors = "1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20." I found a good Cisco page showing what these…
  • if it really uses regex -> ^ is line starts with $ is line ends with you might try entering your search like < bob > with spaces before and after. \s is space as well in regex. hope that helps
  • should be able to run config wizard and have it regenerated...I'm pretty sure.
  • the key is corenodeid in NCM_NodeProperties table then use NCMs nodeid=ncms nodeid... select n.Caption, ncmep.serial from Nodes n inner join NCM_NodeProperties ncm on n.NodeID=ncm.CoreNodeID inner join NCM_Entity_Physical ncmep on ncm.NodeID=ncmep.NodeID where n.Caption like '%<routername>%' or you can filter differently…
  • If you have SAM, you could do 3 SQL queries in the same app giving you these three results and would track them historically for you.
  • it used to if the alert didn't exist, but I don't think it does anymore. I'd like to know the answer to this as well for new versions for certain.
  • last part - not like '%Tunnel%' you have to have the wild cards i believe. if that doesn't work, try using *.
  • no such luck, but you might want to make that a feature request...great idea. 95% of our certs are on F5s.
