you probably want to use APM for that, not NPM.

The first one "cswSwitchrole" will only show: cswSwitchRole.1001 master(1) cswSwitchRole.2001 member(2) cswSwitchRole.3001 member(2) and "cswSwitchstate" will only show: cswSwitchState.1001 ready(4) cswSwitchState.2001 ready(4) cswSwitchState.3001 ready(4) I am not sure what you want to do with those. If you created a UDP,…

I am trying the same thing.

I have access to their support portal and will post the mib ASAP.

you can try

I know that you and I talked about this topic on the phone a few times, but I filled out the survey anyway. have a good one.

Are you installing everything to 1 server or more than one? Do you have full admin rights to the server? Make sure that you have the current service packs installed on the server.

You can setup custom properties then apply it to nodes. but that takes forever. We use a custome written database for that. I dont recomment either. :-)

The list will only show the objects that you have added to that map. If you dont want to see them in the list, the only way I know of to get rid of them, just dont add them to the map.

That usually happens when the report is too large and it times out waiting on the SQL database. You should only pull the necessary fields then filter out the stuff that you dont need. And to answer one of you questions. I have also found Orion to be slow out of the box. takes a lot of tweaking to get it running at a…

looking back at your original post, the User defined Receive message indicates that someone changed the speed of the port in orion.

Looks like the devices connected to those ports are auto negotiating. You may want to try to hard code both the device to 100/full or gig/full.

I have not tried the ${InPps} or the ${OutPps}, but i do have things setup with ${NodeName} and it is working fine.

To answer question 1, yes. I have orion running on VMs now. I have the Orion Poller, website and Netflow on 1 VM with 2 Intel Xeon E5345 CPUs at 2.33GHz and 2 gig RAM, but i am having to add 2 more CPU for it to keep up. Both Orion and Netflow are SL2000. And i have SQL on a second VM with the same specs. SQL runs fine for…

you can use these

if you do open a ticket, please post the fix here for others with the same problem to see.

In Syslog Viewer i setup an alert and included part of a syslog message that shows *flapping* and set it to alert if it happens 10 times per hour. This has been working fine for me and sends me an email on all flapping that goes on.

After doing some digging in the advanced alerts, you can setup interface alerts for Xmit discards and errors as well as Rec discards and errors. The crc may have to be setup using a custom poller but, out of the box, orion advanced alerts can pick up what you are looking for.

I have tried it. You can only print it or email it.

It sounds like the permissions didnt get set correctly on the new box. Probably because the wizard didn't finish running. You can try to re-run the wizard on the new box.

you can follow the same instructions for your report as i posted in this post.

I just use: When interface goes down: ${DateTime} Alert:The MPLS circuit for ${Branch} is DOWN! and when interface comes back up: ${DateTime} Alert:The MPLS circuit for ${Branch} is UP!

I have all of the commands needed to setup ingress and egress on a 6509. I will post them tomorrow when i get back to the office. but to answer your question, I had to manually configure every port that i wanted to monitor. I ended up just setting up Ingress and egress on the vlan instead.

I have change all of my 900 or so devices from telnet to SSH2, I didn't have to do anything with the Orion setup. Orion is monitoring the nodes and interfaces with SNMP, so as long as you have the community string that matches the equipment, you should be fine. Ask them what the new community string is and enter that in…

it would be something like last boot not equal to * and the second would be last boot not equal to null.

1. make a complete backup of the databases. 2. On the new server, create a new database (one for NPM called NetPerfMon and one for NCM, Dont know the actual name). 3. restore database and check the override existing database. That is the best way to do it. Let me know if you need more details.

you can adjust the views on the website to show you the devices grouped by type then it will list all of the devices of they type under it. but i havent tried a report yet.
