Good to hear, thanks for the reply Word to Solarwinds it may be helpful to include anticiapted protocol where necessary.

Is this still true if the Orion server additionally has Cirrus installed?

I use QLogic HBA's and would like to see these supported as easily as NICs are supported when monitoring servers. I requested this functionality but never got a reply in this post: There have been a series of requests for fiber channel support. fib I know I submitted a request for HBA support, just can't find it.

Could this be added to the requested feature list?

Unfortunately only ftp is used for processing config downloads. If tftp, telnet, or ssh was available for processing this, it would not be a problem.

The "typical" vm engineer will build thier base OS templates (XP, Vista, 2003 Std, 2003 R2 Std, 2003 Ent, etc. ... 2008. and linux variations). Deployment engineers may try out variations of a theme for various builds. Application support may have their set of test systems, and the list of non-production possibilites goes…

Are you certain you are using Orion 9.1? 

There are lots of smaller features, but the two main features are these:* We "retired" the Custom MIB Poller so that we could replace it with a completely new tool, the Universal Device Poller. The Universal Device Poller polls MIB Tables (or really columns, in tables). You can "Transform" data by converting single values…

What you outline makes perfect sense from a production-ready and implemented point of view. For the engineer pre-deploying devices prior to being production ready I typically validate all of my appliances, servers, routers, and switches prior to making them production ready, one of those things is saving and…

Couple rules of thumb for this particular chart: 1) Set granularity to map up to your download schedule (e.g. weekly downloads, set granularity to weekly) 2) Ensure that you have at least 2 data points for your chosen granularity. Otherwise, you won't see an area graph. The collection times and charts are set to daily.…

As much as I may complain about features, functionality, and offer differing opinions. Yes I am. Removing the WLan Controller from the report results in a tidy report. Grouping, sorting, filtering, and the ability to eliminate "no change" withstanding. Regrading the application suite. There is a lot that the suite offers.…

We are using stand alone authentication.

Thanks for your response Joe. I'm glad your problems were resolved. Your issues and mine seem like an implementation / installation issue. I also needed to rename / replace a few files also to fix web and application issues.

Yes, Happiness always ensues when management is pleased. It should also make SW happy when renewal time is due. Please, if you figure out more monitoring goodies; please add them to this thread. Regards,

Fracois, Wonderful and thanks for the update. To your question, Any requirement on what to report in NCM, in such a case? First one? All of them? is I simply don't know where you are getting the snmp data. If you are going through a switch inventory for serial numbers you may obtain serial number overload: for a chassis…

Please review the on-line information, but to clarify there is a settable flag /destination-system stack-member-number (1-9) so if you wish to specify switches for the download /destination-system 1 /destination-system 5 etc. Per same document supplied: "You can upgrade more than one specific stack member by repeating the…

Questionario This is certainly one way of approaching smartnet. I most closely mirrors a cisco "show inventory" reporting all of the systems components but only those where NCM captures a serial number. For some model_types NCM fails to capture a serial number so the device will not appear on the report. I guess your…

Hi You could use SQL to pull the data out and then sort by NodeCaption and then display the amount of lines you want Kind Regards James James, I have no SQL programing skills; just a simple and over-commited network engineer. Why would I wish to do this when the application should provide the functionality?

They are part of the same "virtual" chassis utilizing one IP address. What happens is this: Configure one 3750 chassis with it's IP Address, etc. like a normal Cisco device. Cisco supplies you with a StackWise cable which is used to link the devices. When you link a second, third, fourth, etc. switch 3750 device it becomes…

That's a shame. We were hoping to provide access to various technical user communities. Without the ability to define what can be accessed we can not deploy it to field techs. Thanks for the information.

Same type of information is being collected in my trace file. SQL = SELECT TOP 1 Percentile FROM (SELECT TOP 5 PERCENT AVG(RawStatus) AS Percentile From WHERE (DateTime >= 39564 AND DateTime <= 39595) GROUP BY FLOOR(CAST(DateTime AS float) * 288) ORDER BY AVG(RawStatus) DESC) DERIVEDTBL ORDER BY Percentile Error #=…

We are successfully utilizing the following for Cisco Systems, Inc./VPN 3000 Concentrator Version 4.1.5.Rel built by vmurphy on Jun 18 2004 02:34:34 File is named: Mod_Cisco3005 VPN Concentrator-1.3.6.1.4.1.3076.1.2.1.1.2.1.ConfigMgmt-Commands Body contains the following... <!-- edited with Notepad by RCAHILL -->…

I know, I only get a minimal configuration downloaded; or I get everything including AP connectivity and dB settings. This may partly because the unit fails to use a 'standard' command sequence and Cirrus can not do a series of commands for capture. My resolution was to copy the WCS cfg file to another server on a daily…

Thank You for the reply. This enhancement is again another in a recent series of changes that does not provide the customer a method to tailor for their network. With earlier versions of Orion you'd get a simple up / down server Event notices. Then with the earlier versions of Alert Manager up / down server notices…

Similar issue with our AD servers. We establish our Window server maintenance time-frames by OU using GPO. To date, our operations' department ignore the false-positive alerts. What would be helpful is the addition of programmable fields within the node or through the use of a Node Custom Property to restrict variable…

See the zip per request. FYI, The original 9.0-custom properties issue re-surfaced with the 9.1 install.

Would it be possible to have a job to port from NCM to NPM? Not everything that we define in performance monitor should be in config manager. Generally, the opposite is true.

These 2 command examples are only a sub-set of commands. I'll need to program others to produce a workable and replacable configuration. Thanks for the try!

Is there any reason that the web-based audible alerts won't work? You can set the website to play a sound when a new alert appears, but the web console has to be up. This feature can be turned on and off based on the account. We have tried this on several web consoles and the audible alerts NEVER trigger. It would be…
