2) NPM user accounts, complete with restrictions imposed on said NPM users.One workaround since you have NPM is to install the NCM 5.5 integration module on your NPM server. The NCM 5.5 integration module now includes support for all the capabilities previously only available through the standalone NCM website, including…

That's great to hear Michal! Hopefully it can make it into the 10.7 or 10.6.1 or .2. It would be strategic in my mind, for you guys to get some action on this and the other long standing alerting/trap/syslog stuff by the middle to end of the 4th quarter. I can guess that many folks will be revisiting their thoughts on…

In all fairness, I can say on one hand, that I appreciate how Solarwind's is seeking to continuously enhance our view and reporting of the data collected. On the other hand, I'm completely disgusted with the lack of progress on the more difficult tasks of changing how Orion products actual collect, view and correlate the…

RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP, and Active Directory are all good suggestions for authentication options in Orion. I'm looking for LDAP specifically as my most favorite authentication option because: 1) AD supports LDAP by starting one more service on your DC/BDC. 2) TACACS+ can use LDAP as the back end. At least, shrubbery.net's…

I'm seriously wondering why external authentication via an LDAP connector isn't on the roadmap, I'm sure there's tons of reference code for similar applications available. Peter

I'm getting similar things with interfaces on nodes that have had the IP changed, interfaces don't poll properly until I deleted and re-added the node. Using 10.1.2 (latest I know of) right now.

I'll second the motion, although I'll go a step further.. Netflow should dump data into it's OWN SQL database. No reason the website can't pull data from multiple sources. Hell, it does already when we really don't want it to, like NCM. Peter

I also will go ahead and note my support for this feature request, along with a big plug for better integration of Syslog in general in NPM. Alerts should be managed through a unified alerting interface that handles syslog, traps, and SNMP pollers.

Have you tried modifying an existing template to use the / commands to try to get this to work? There are instructions for modifying the template in the admin guide. It's unlikely that we'll do this in house any time soon because we've only received the one request, but I'm willing to work with you to help you create on…

Brandon, On a related note, I'm looking for the SW site to automatically redirect people to SSL. I don't want anyone on my website using straight http. My current workaround is to create a .ASP redirect page, and do a little trickery with the IIS configuration. I'd like SW to include this as an option so I can just hit a…

1 out of 3 answers is okay so far. Peter

Denny, What's the chances of getting that feature of redirecting to HTTP implemented in a future release? Although, this workaround is much cleaner than the one I had before, which would break on every upgrade. I'd really like to see a configuration switch that says something along the lines of "Redirect all http to https"…

I know, I know -- one would think that in Q3 2014 there would be very few links in an enterprise (of any size!) that weren't using auto-negotiate, but I have some customers from a previous life that insisted on hard-coding everything! The result, as you can suspect, was a boatload of odd network performance issues that…

I recently just re-built Solarwinds on new hardware for a new company. I sourced all equipment from the secondary market. For the DB: * HP DL380 G6 with dual X5650's and 72GB of RAM. * 2x146GB 15k sas as raid 1 for the boot drive and 8x300GB as an 8 spindle raid 10 for the primary datastore. * SQL Server has 64GB of ram…

One other thing.. after all the data is right, you have to restart the Orion Module Engine or just wait around an hour.. Peter

One small thing I forgot.. Some times.. many times.. a Location OID isn't convenient. It would be nice to have a config override so you could point the source to something like a custom property single line address field. Peter

We would love to see a rule based discovery of resources on a device. I spend a great deal of time removing or adding interfaces on routers that were improperly dealt with. One of the biggest rules would need to parse descriptions. +1 for this feature.. adding and removing interfaces get's tedious. Custom properties are…

It would seem to me, that all the Orion apps would benefit from memory footprint of a 64-bit OS. Perhaps that has nothing to do with the painful slowness of using Orion via the web interface, but it'd be nice to have more RAM and be able to use it without the sort of cheap trick of PAE. Peter

Okay Chris, I can't seem to tell if this is precisely what's happening, or just what it looks like. I'm running NPM's syslog server and trap receiver. I am not running the services for NCM's syslog server and trap receiver because it's running on the same box, and the alerting takes precedence over NCM all day long. As a…

Hi, As a rather expensive workaround is to use an SSL Offloader. We currently used F5 BIG as the front end to at least offer some protection in the absence of alternate authentication system. Probably best longer term anyway as all our webserver that use SSL would be offloaded to dedicated appliances although the…

I'm not sure why anyone even bothers requesting enhancements like this from Solarwinds. It's obvious these requests will never be addressed with anything other than "We're *planning* on adding it to the next release" or "I don't think that's representative of our user-base". So really, what's the point? The fact is, no…

I also have huge issues with syslog handling by Orion. I want the entire syslog alerting/interface to stop being handled by a seperate application, I want to be able to manage these alerts from the Orion Network Performance Monitor application. Additionally, the only good way I have found to filter traps was to create a…

+1 for this request, and the general ability to alert on traffic deltas. In our case, we want to alert if an interface's traffic percentage changes, say, drops in half. Peter

That's funny, the POP3 user experience monitor seems to be incomplete. I want to send email via one outbound, and check mail delivery via POP on another. I don't run POP3 on my SMTP service, so I need to craft a different component. I'd like to know how I can create a custom monitor, the POP3 user experience monitor…

 Where is the account limitation builder? Peter

I'd like to see ICMP nodes called "ICMP" personally. The only Unknown devices I have are devices that do not support SNMP and I only ping them. Could there be a label created for these device types that said something like "SNMP Not Supported"? That way they would not show up unknown.

512-682-9300 option 3. They reiterate that opening a ticket online is preferred and gets a faster response, but empirical evidence would suggest otherwise. I flatly refuse to pay the amount of money I do for software support and spend 10 minutes on a web form when all they need when I call is my SW customer number. At…

Yeah, I would have imagined it would have stood out. Soon as I can get the beta environment going, I'll start trying to get these requests out to y'all pre-RC/Release. On that note.. Are we talking Major Version, Point Release, or SP? Of course, I wish you guys would rush out a hotfix like yesterday, but I realize that's…

 I have what seems to be a slightly different problem. I'm using NCM 5.0SP1 1) I can't add any NCM built-in accounts. 2) I can't seem to authenticate using AD accounts (at all). I have 2 AD accounts allowed to log into the devices. Neither one seems to work via any combination of user identification. DOMAIN\username…
