tbackus, The chapter "Configuring Automatic Login" in the SolarWinds Orion NPM Administrator Guide provides the options for your situation.

Have you copied your reports from the old installation to the new installation? To copy your reports: * On the old server, copy your custom reports located in the \Orion\Reports folder. * Paste these reports into the Orion\Reports folder on the new server. HTH,

The Universal Device Poller (UnDP) feature of Orion NPM allows you to create pollers for individual OIDs. It doesn't matter if the OID is in the SolarWinds MIB or not. Thought the UnDP was intended to provide support for polling OIDs not in the SolarWinds MIB, it can be used to poll MIBs already there. You can use the UnDP…

Using the Trap Viewer, you can configure an E-mail/Page action based on defined rules, similar to the configuration of alert actions. For more information, see "Configuring Trap Viewer Filters and Alerts" in Chapter 15 - Monitoring SNMP Traps of the SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor Administrator Guide.

NPM 9.1.X does not support DBs on MS SQL Server 2008. You will definitely need to upgrade, if you want to move your NPM DB to SQL 2008. For more information about upgrading, contact Customer Service. Thanks,

Glenn, According to our KB: "Compatibility of SolarWinds Orion Products for Installation and Upgrade", you are good to proceed directly with an upgrade to NPM 10.6 (Orion Platform 2013.2). All your current modules are compatible with Orion Platform 2013.2, so upgrade should proceed as intended, if upgrade your main polling…

In the next version of Orion NPM, if an OID is defined for each of those values, you can use a Universal Device Poller (UnDP) for each value and then graph them on the same chart.

Have you tried building an Orion NTA report using Orion Report Writer and then exporting it as a .pdf? For more information about creating Orion NTA reports, see "Creating NetFlow Traffic Analyzer Reports" in the SolarWinds Orion NTA Administrator Guide. For more information about exporting reports from Orion Report…

Peter, You can customize the color scheme of your web console, as detailed in the section "Managing the Orion Web Console : Customizing the Orion Web Console : Changing the Web Console Color Scheme" in the SolarWinds Orion NPM Administrator Guide.

First, generally, before any upgrade or migration, we recommend that you create a backup of your databases. With both NPM and NCM installed, you should have two database defined and in use: one db for NPM and another db for NCM. With that consideration, you should be able to do what you suggest: * Create a backup of your…

sirpaw, You may be able to fix your situation using the following steps: * Create backups of both databases. For more information, see "Creating Database Backups" in the SolarWinds Orion NPM Administrator Guide. * Park your Orion NPM 10.1 license using License Manager on your 10.1 servers. For more information, see "Using…

JD, You may find the information in this KB article helpful. It is not your specific error, but it's a simple check that may be related.

Have you reviewed, the KB article, "Tips for executing external scripts and batch files with alerts"? If none of the recommendations there work, let me know, so I can update it with better information. Thanks,

jawells, You should keep both. If you have any Universal Device pollers, you definitely need Job Engine v1. Thanks,

dclick, Yes, you will have to add Universal Device Poller resources to your Node Details view. UnDP resources may be found in the following groupings on the Add Resources to Node Details Column X view: * Node Detail Reports * Summary Reports * Network Wide Summary Reports * Node Charts * Node Gauges For more information…

From the SolarWinds Orion NPM Admin Guide: Integrating SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset - Configuring a Toolset Integration - Adding Programs to a Toolset Integration Menu I hope that helps.

dddmt, In general, you should upgrade the main polling engine before upgrading the additional polling engine. There are usually at least minimal structural alterations made to your database during an upgrade, particularly from 10.0 to 10.1. In sum, to be most careful, follow the upgrade path you've noted, upgrading all…

deverts, You can pretty much knock out #2 with a custom inventory report that you can then add as a resource to any web console view. Unfortunately, you won't be able to get the serial numbers without either using a Universal Device Poller (UnDP) or entering them manually in a custom property. For more information about…

mvjames, I've raised your concerns with PM and Development for their consideration and clarified our current exclusions in the knowledge base article you've referenced. Thank you,

Do you need a single, all-encompassing SQL query, or would an alert-based scheduled report meet your needs? if the latter will work, the following is a rough outline of the procedure: * Create a node custom property and then apply it to all devices on your WAN circuit. * Create an alert on interface properties using the…

glennkcooper, Have you consulted the Port Requirements document? In short, you will definitely need port 17777/TCP open, but you may also want to have UDP ports 161, 162, and 514 open, as well, depending on what you are monitoring. HTH,

imendoza, To determine whether your issue is SMTP configuration or alert action configuration, have you seen "Creating and Managing Alerts" and "Send an E-mail / Page" in the SolarWinds Orion NPM Administrator Guide?

Dal, Can you confirm the full OID you want to poll? We do not currently have the Mikrotik MIB in the MIB we ship, but, if the OID is valid, you should be able to define a UnDP to poll it without difficulty. For more information about defining a UnDP, see "Monitoring MIBs with Universal Device Pollers", specifically the…

GonzoUK, Create a discovery that includes all the different SNMP community strings, and then use the Bulk Upload option. For more information, see "Network Discovery Using the Network Sonar Wizard" in the Orion NPM Administrator Guide.

shane.presley, Have you added Universal Device Poller Chart or Linear/Radial Gauge resources to your Node Details view? To add these resources: * Open a Node Details view in the web console for one of you monitored APC UPS devices. * Click Customize Page in the top right of the view. * Click + next to the column to which…

stevenliu, If I understand your request correctly, you are asking to track details about the users that perform device management tasks. This is a feature that is not currently in NPM. Please post your request in our Feature Request discussion, and a SolarWinds product manager will see it. Thanks,

pyro13g, Do you have any CBQoS resources on a Device Details view for a monitored CBQoS-enabled device?

Karl, This can be a bit confusing. There was an earlier hotfix, but, as it applied to an earlier service pack, the hotfix you have applied is the first and only hotfix for service 4 (and service pack 5, if you are running Orion IPAM).

patriot, If you are upgrading from Orion NPM 8.1 to 9.5 while upgrading to APM 3.0, based on success in the past, we recommend the following upgrade order: * Orion NPM 8.1 -> NPM 8.5.1 SP3 * Orion NPM 8.5.1 -> NPM 9.0 SP2 * If you currently have Orion Application Monitor (AM), Orion AM -> Orion APM 2.0. * If you currently…

chrisrios88, What you have here is close to what is recommended. You don't need to uninstall anything, however. As noted in the section "Installing SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor : Upgrading Orion Network Performance Monitor" of the SolarWinds Orion NPM Administrator Guide: After upgrading to Orion NPM 8.5.1,…
