Er... I actually have the reverse problem, I think. How did you get that display? I'm trying to group multiple custom pollers into a signle resource and Orion won't let me. I can *only* choose one for the resource summary... Will That's been a feature request that I am aware of for over a year. Consistently ignored, often…

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 the ability (if I so choose) to allow them to log directly into a device via SSH or telnet proxied by the NPM or NCM server. Just to make sure I understand this…

Number one is a feature request, ssh or telnet from the web interface of Orion. User credentials need to be shared from NPM to NCM. I want a central auth for SolarWinds products. Since NPM was the first product I had, I created tons of users. I want NCM to use NPM users. NCM offers NO method to create users internally,…

So, the goal is to get notified if any ports with a specific text in the description matches. In my experience, no, the SW way to accomplish what you're trying to do is assign a custom property to interfaces, and the alert 'filtering' you're looking for will happen via that mechanism. This is what we do for interfaces that…

Big reason I'm personally not in favor of linking it to the Outlook address book? I don't run Outlook, and installing it has very little place on a server. If the webui can pull from it as an option, that's awesome, but really, I want a way to manage alert groups. Create an alert group. Point alerts at alert group(s). That…

This is on our roadmap, but this isn't possible in NCM today. It's all or nothing access based on the role provided. Having said that, if you're also evaluating NPM, we provide an NCM integration module which extends the NPM website. The NPM website allows for settings node limitations and view limitations on accounts…

I won't go into huge detail, but it bothers me intensely that hardware SNMP support on a server is pushed into a separately licensed "Application Performance Monitoring" product. That stuff is relatively standard SNMP support. I suppose custom pollers could be created to handle that data as long as you're allowing it to be…

I think if you scroll up the thread, you'll see where it specifies Latitude and Longitude as mandatory custom props for this enhancement. You could also modify the existing code to use your own custom properties, or re-write it to do City, or probably address location, but I'd likely write something off-board that does the…

More like VRF's for Orion Core. Peter

What about another method.. Do a query hourly on the NPM database and find all the nodes / interfaces that don't have their mandatory properties assigned. Assuming this was all designated before the equipment was even deployed, document somewhere what all of those assignments should be. Drop those files into a spot that…

The only way would be direct database manipulation, i.e. Save out any data you care about using select statements.. or whatever output you like.. (I like CSV for sub 100k lines).. and then delete the existing columns. Put them back in, in the order you prefer. To get them to sort into groups, use prepends such as aaa_ bbb_…

Would really like to see templates that could be applied to nodes (like specific interfaces to monitor without having to re-do list resources by hand), would really like to see view by machine type extended to the custom mapped sysobject id's referenced above. Really need to be able to template accessible…

+1 for native LDAP or preferably tacacs. Would really love to see SW implement a tacacs server that can use the LDAP/SL_Orion/AD for authentication and control templates for users.

Please please move to database driven API manipulation of the custom properties so hand editing is unnecessary.. Peter

If the snmpd daemon/service restarts, the device gets a reboot notification. I have a product that resets the snmp service when custom tags in a database changes, because it resets all kinds of services.

Some notes from my own usage.. 1) Once the mapquest keys get installed properly, you shouldn't have any 403 Forbidden messages unless you exceed your API subscriptions limitations. 2) SNMP Community String is the best place to set the precise address although there are reasons you might not want to do that for Security. 3)…

 Denny/all, RTCD triggered via syslog or trap alert executes the external program ConfigAutoDownload.exe and Configmgmtjob.exe. Unfortunately, those processes have a fairly large memory footprint and 10-20 of them can easily choke a system. Also, they don't seem to pay attention to the concurrency limits configured in NCM…

I'm really hoping for: (Not in order of preference).. 1) API Support for adding nodes, users, alerts, custom properties. We're already starting to pull some reports directly from MSSQL, including some great data on alerts and counts of nodes and interfaces tagged with specific values. I want to be able to drive the…

How can I remove the SNMP community string from displaing on the web page? I can remove it from the trap viewer but not from the web page. This is a security issue for me. I would like the help desk to see when a security violation occurs on the switchport but I don't want them to see the community string. I have exactly…

I'll chime in here.. Right now, I have about 60 custom properties per device. Things that I'd really like to have.. A) Tell the CSV import to use the damn column headers. I can't express enough how painful it is to have to manually select the import column matchup. I'm perfectly capable of exporting the custom properties…

 As a workaround, I simply created an ASP redirect to push the http requests over to https after applying the necessary SSL cert to the IIS server. The only problem with this, is that it broke the SP1 upgrade process, and had to be disabled, then re-enabled after the upgrade succeeded. I'm not thrilled with it, but it is…

I am eagerly awaiting the API functionality. I need specifically to be able to bypass the controls of what's up or not up when adding nodes to monitor. Basically, for me, I add them, then unmanage them. I want to be able to run a spreadsheet through a parser and populate the database how I want it, bypassing the validation…

That would indicate that the port speed is changing repeatedly which likely means a speed/duplex mismatch for a Cisco device and whatever's connected to it. You should hard set both devices to 1000 full and that "Spam" that's actually a valid alert will go away. Alternatively, if you think ignoring devices with bad…

I use RT, and make extensive use of it's email queues. However, I choose not to open a ticket with RT based off of an alert, because alerts can fire many times, every alert makes for a new ticket. Conversely, doing some sort of direct injection into the SQL tables is possible, but I don't want 500 tickets opened for one…

I'm trying to do several custom polled values for one given device on one graph. I still haven't figured out how to do this, and this was the best thread that came up searching. Any word? Peter

Do something about Syslog, Traps, and granular/templated rights administration, and I'll be happy to! Peter

So, at this point the problem is something's jacked up with the webui and "Dr Watson" is at fault? Realistically speaking, I'd downgrade if humanly possible. Peter

 Dingdingdingdingding! Folks, we have a winner! Seriously though.. I think you and literally every other person I have ever known has thought that we could simply recompile our MIB database and add the MIB's into the NMS. Alas, this is not the case with SW Orion. Unfortunately, you have to actually submit the MIB's to SW's…

What about the other, considerably longer, more drawn out, and potentially needing to be taken offline questions about API for flow-through automation/provisioning? Peter

I have an ancient ticket on this subject, #65943 (such a sore point, I have the ticket number memorized) but *allegedly* NCM supports AD authentication, but that doesn't work for me, and I'd suspect others. I'd love to see it support any/all of these listed in order of preference: 1) LDAP (especially because TACACS+…
