In the meantime you can create Custom pollers to capture this data.

I suggest that Orion default to recording time in UTC in the DB and leveraging the Client timezone to display the data. This would allow a user from one timezone to look at devices he/she supports without having to convert time. Also, adding a custom property to a node / group of Business Hours and Business Days would…

OK, * Orion reports the Delta for each of the OIDs the UnDP records. * Here is what I have so far, will let you know how it works out.* sysClientsslStatTotCompatConns (1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.2.9.9)* Advanced Options: Counter, Unit: Connections, Time Frame: Second, Poll Type: Node, Get Type: Get Next * Keep Historical: Yes *…

FYI, ITSM is my companies impementation of Remedy.

We have Traps going to NetCool as follows. 1. Modifed the trap being sent to Netcool, Using the customize Trap tool. Here is our alert trap. Placement of the file depends upon version 7 or 8 of Orion. I also use the Beta Alert Engine on my ver 7 installation so the trap file is in both the NPM and the Common directory.…

Cirrus 4 allows you to create custom properties also. Try that.

Have several UnDP items built for 1500, 3400 Big-IPs running version 9.4.x Need to add support for VIPRION with VCMP Guests and the changes in the version 11.x code. Would love to be able to look at each VIP as an entity related to the BigIP and also related to the associated Pool(s) and subsequently the Pool Members.

Haley, We have LANsurveyor as part of the VISIO 2003 resource kit. Can this be used to create the Orion Maps? Thanks, Phillip

quote:Originally posted by ahamino I am monitoring a variety of cisco devices with Orion NPM v7.8. I noticed that when I monitor the VLANs of these switches, Orion shows their % utilization more that 100 %. It also happens with the Memory utilization of the windows servers, but i am more concerned with the switches! Do any…

NG, Have a CPE field called ParentView. Added the URL http://{server}/NetPerfMon/view.asp?ViewID={viewid} This simply comes across as text, not a hyperlink. Thanks, P. B. Success requires three bones--wishbone, backbone and funnybone. Kobi Yamada

Mithrillhall, Have that going to parent maps/view and to details documentation for a site. Looking specifically for a way to navigate up from the Node Details page to a view/map. Thanks, P. B. Success requires three bones--wishbone, backbone and funnybone. Kobi Yamada

Joe, Unfortunately, Orion NPM / UnDP can not poll NOTIFICATION MIBS. - NOTIFICATION MIBs are used by the SNMP Trap daemon to send SNMPTraps to a trap receiver and by the Orion SNMP Server to interpret the received Traps. -- Chris pointed you it the right direction to "show" the Pool status on the NPM page. If you forward…

Looking at the possiblity of creating a Custom Property called "UpStream Node" which I will pass to my correlation engine, Netcool Omnibus and then build the rules there for parent/child relationships. Would be great if Solarwinds accounted for this. Thanks, P. B. Success requires three bones--wishbone, backbone and…

try to modify the URL here is the url for a chart at 30 minutes CustomChart.asp?Chart=CISCOMMAVGCPULOAD&NetObject=N:223&Period=Last%2024%20Hours&SampleSize=30M&Style= Try to change the SampleSize=1M and see what happens. When I do this i see the point by point collection of my data. Just remember the poller has a random…

Bryan, First, I assume you are asking about the "status" poll every minute. I have this set to 45 seconds for our Datacenter switches and routers; about 30 devices. Secondly, I have my statistics polling set for every 5 minutes, default for most vendors internal statistics. Finally, If you are really looking for faster…

Check out the Fail-Over PDF www2.solarwinds.net/.../Orion-Hot-Standby.pdf The remote pollers are shown. They don't have the Web Server, that is on the Primary Orion server. You don't need hot-standby for a remote poller to work, just using this as the source for the architecture. Thanks, P. B. Success requires three…

Bryan, In the distributed model, you would have a master orion server; poller and web server, database server and additional pollers spread through the environment. The web server really just accesses the database. Thanks, P. B. Success requires three bones--wishbone, backbone and funnybone. Kobi Yamada

What I have found is that if you create an Icon, make sure the fill is 100% transparent then you can use the Tri-Color property to fill the object based on status. Becareful not to set the entire object to transparent. Thanks, P. B. Success requires three bones--wishbone, backbone and funnybone. Kobi Yamada

I have overcome this by including a custom property of TZCorr (Time Zone Correction) for My Nodes. This field states the offset from GMT. Then in my reports I modify the timestamp by this field so that my reports are all generated with local time. All our devices have time set to GMT Thanks, P. B. Success requires three…

If you rename a node, discovery creates a duplicate node 4. NO IMPORT FEATURE 5. You have to go back and manually add cpu/storage monitoring…

James, We run reports against our Orion DB using Crystal Reports. Also have built data cubes with Excel for recuring status reports. Our next step is to integrate into our CMDB (Change Management DB) so that alerts can be suppressed during a change project. Thanks, P. B. Success requires three bones--wishbone, backbone and…

Brandon, If you export the 7 day report to excel from the Report Writer, howmany rows of data do you get? You may be exceeding the number of rows available for excel and IE Thanks, P. B. Success requires three bones--wishbone, backbone and funnybone. Kobi Yamada

The Administrator's Guide is well written and covers the basics of getting the system up and running. If you have specific questions or are looking for explicit how-to's this forum is a great resource.

quote:Originally posted by jneiberger I thought you could use a GUI for everything in Orion? Are you saying that there is no GUI for adding/removing nodes or interfaces? Isn't that kind of a pain in the hiney? Adding/removing nodes is done on the server using the Orion System Manager as the GUI. Yes it is a real pain.…

I have the Remote Admin Tool. It provides the following access into ORION. * MapMaker * Custom Property Editor * Account Limitatio Builder * Database Utilities (Maintenance & Manager) * Report Writer It DOES NOT allow for Adding/Removing Nodes or Interfaces, still have to use Terminal Services for that.

Jon, I recommend using a server edition of SQL. First, you aren't bound by the 2GB limit. Even if the DB isn't at 2GB, the daily maintenance processes need to be able to grow the tables, if that fails so doed maintenance. Second, if you already have SQL running, adding another database is handled by the configuration…

Sure can. First create the view. Preview the page or note the ViewID. Second add the object to the map. Right click the object and select Hyperlink. Check the create alternate URL. type the following as the URL "/NetPerfMon/view.asp?ViewID=##" where ## is the view ID. Third. save the map. You should now be launching the…
