How soon before it supports joining data across multiple tables? I have 3 critical use cases for this functionality that are quickly pushing me towards different tools.

I'd love the points system, as long as it's scaled based on something like licensed products owned, and what size. I don't think an NPM 100 customer should have the same voice as SLX or multiple SLX. The majority may still swing towards a different direction, but the process would be transparent, which is another beef I…

1. Entrenched. 2. Relatively performant considering alleged database shortcomings, which I'm not qualified to have a real opinion about, I don't know anything about database design, nor do I pretend to on TV. 3. There is a lot of functionality in the product, it's just missing some key things. Now, I don't care about…

YMMV, but unless you have a lot of time to spend troubleshooting with SW support, you might want to stick with 9.1 for now. Yeah, I don't. I have a job that entails quite a bit more than spending time with SW support and as exciting of an idea as that is, I actually like the gig I'm at ;) Peter

 I can also make mention of another scenario where I incorrectly triggered ConfigDownload from a syslog message matching a pattern of "SSH USER", so I triggered one when an SSH user logged in or out. What I am still actually looking for is a way to get my devices to trap or syslog to me when the configuration changes. SW's…

Yes, too well even. I ended creating a loop condition where I was triggering a backup off the SSH SESSION syslog message and creating a new one every time NCM tried to log in and pull the config (as requested by the rule). Needless to say there was a flurry of fingers shutting off inbound syslog to the NCM box and…

Well, the thing about it, is that if you guys could just figure out how to import a visio diagram, which I'm certain MS will help you out with, including probably a web API, web-display of Visio documents is certainly possible, or a conversion to a format that SW can work with, or wholesale change to doing things a new…

It should. I have about 80 customers using NPM. Of course, most of them don't know it ;) Peter

How does this custom sql alert translate into 11.5.2 with the whole new web based alerting engine? Second question for Rob or anyone else on this thread, have we implemented any ToD/DoW/DoM functionality as of yet? Netflow is a non-starter, no netflow license, and honestly, from past experience, not really worth it to…

Again, the linux script monitor (or windows script monitor), doesn't really solve my problem. I need to test an MTA's ability to accept email for delivery. Being able to test it's ability to accept email for delivery and check against some remote server for the email once it's sent would be adequate, but that doesn't work.…

Right, I've tried unsuccessfully to get the pop3 user experience monitor to work. I will certainly look at the linux script monitor, but really, I need the SMTP monitor to be enhanced as opposed to being based off the old IP Monitor product where it merely checks that the server comes up. This is a fundamental difference…

Yeah, please up vote and boy it'd be nice if this one didn't get kicked under the carpet for 4 years.. but yeah.. Peter

Miron, I didn't take your post as a criticism. I just used it as an opportunity to get the message out that we're sensitive to what's going on and are taking measures to improve our release process. Your point is an excellent one. A test lab is an invaluable resource. For a product like Orion, it's worth the time to copy…

 I'm going to go ahead and escalate this to support. It seems like even after removing and re-adding the AD users I can't log in with them even though they are configured as Administrator level. Peter

Can you login to the desktop application using those AD accounts? I cannot, which thoroughly confuses me. Peter

The only issue I have with a converged database is that I license Cirrus differently than I license Orion, and I have no plans to have Cirrus licensed for the same amount of nodes I have Orion licensed for at any point in the future. I would hate to be forced to have matching licenses, so care needs to be taken to keep the…

Priorities are completely understandable. The question on my mind is though, where does that fall in the priority scheme? Is it even on the roadmap at all? In another thread, you mention an interest in hearing the needs of MSP types, I can't imagine this functionality isn't in the top 3 on the feature request list for…

Can anyone tell me what OID's they are using?

Yes, but you can add a custom property value for uplink on all interfaces that applies to by doing multiple searches and populating the custom properties in chunks. It is more than possible, and it's worth the effort, IMO.

That's of course, assuming you use outlook ;) More importantly, running alerting through an MUA-based distribution list is totally wrong. Hinging alert delivery on the functionality of Outlook is beyond crazy unless you simply don't care that much about alerting. I can off-board it properly on an MTA, but that's not really…

Were I a betting man, I'd be guessing that CPE may very well end up going the way of System Manager. The end goal for SW is to be out of Windows userland space as much as possible. Which really means great things for us as customers in the way of an API. As far as the CPE goes.. I filter out based on custom properties, and…

I'll toss in a "Yeah, me too". I'm currently supporting devices in 4 timezones, and that's likely to increase. As an incredibly obnoxious workaround, I have the server running in GMT and I do calculations based on GMT offset for every issue. Peter

Yeah, I expressed interest when it started, but tbh, I don't have an extra 1 hour a week to study for it. Even my weekends are booked, way too much of it, with work. Peter

Define "integrated". Peter Brandon, Does this also have the NPM and NCM integrated now or is that still a few revisions away?

Denny, Not to jump in and add insult to injury, but I have an old case #65943 that went exactly the same way. Months and months, no change, no resolution. It makes NCM almost completely unusable. I have had support and development both in remotely, gathering data.. The issue went on for months and months, and then ...…

Can you add my "me too" for this enhancement? I have tons of nodes this would be relevant for both in the core and out on the edge. Peter

So '_guru, how about now? It still looks like I'm waiting for SP3 to address all of this stuff. Peter

+50.. this is big, and little: I can change some stuff around directly from the database at least for NPM, including syslog and traps. My preferred method is to script it out, so my changes for recipient and the SMTP server look just about like this: [root@dune ~]# cat bin/fixorionsmtp.sh #!/bin/bash . ~/.bash_profile…

Glad I could help in that way ;) Come to think of it, it'd be an elegant solution to either make NCM share NPM's auth if you have both and make it capable of using LDAP directly if it's standalone. If sharing is so difficult, going directly to LDAP (provided NPM can) would be a big step towards integration.. One password…

Unfortunately, NCM has some critical auth issues that kill it's functionality for more than feeding some relatively trivial information into Orion's interface. I need the ability to provision users just as I do in Orion or just preferably USE Orion users I already have and assign them all the necessary rights, including…
