I tried with Cirrus which has all of the information. However, the report writer doesn't seem to have the capability. I'm surprised. It seems like a rather standard requirement for a product in this line. If I get it to somehow work I'll post the results.

With the new 5.1 version can you filter what the WebViewer can see? Example: Restrict users at different locations to only see the config at their site? Restrict users from seeing firewall / vpn configurations? Restrict users from seeing specific class of devices? Eliminate aaa, snmp community, and implemented username…

I have "tuned" the ICMP pollers from 5 minutes to near 15 minutes already. The console still seems as though the application is still being overworked by something new. We have had Cirrus installed for 2 years and the post-5.1 upgrade was the first time it is almost unusable. Thanks for the response.

Don, I you wish to share your vpn connection tabulars maybe we / community can start building a good firewall details solution for npm. I've seen some wonderful solutions here when a dialog gets moving. Thanks

If you go the Admin/Setting page in the web console you should see in the top right links for views by device type and manage view. .... Thanks for your interest and response. I am fully aware on the process of adding in and assigning Device views. I am more interested in the content, layout, or modfications other…

This is a wonderful start. Not only what to monitor but when and why to generate alerts.

This may not always be the case where the tunnel is only established when there is "interesting traffic" to send. I commonly configure VPNs in the manner when there is a vendor / customer involved versus a remote site that is Active 24x7. This would also fail when a tunnel is only established during potential Business…

What is the series of commands you need to execute to show the configuration you want? Chris, cfgshow <Return> This will return about 100 - 150 lines of data configshow <Return> This will retun about 200 - 350 lines of data For this type of switch they produce very different results and the amount of data varies…

On another note. Where can I donate money to the SolarWinds on Hold Music fund? If I have to hear this same Kenny G song over and over and over any longer, I might just drink myself into an early winter slumber. Seriously guys, this is the same song for the past 5 years...at least. 100% non-important issue, but good lord…

Regrading vm servers. will the upcomming sp include the option to exclude templates and development guests from displaying?

Version 9.1 SP5 seemed to fix this issue. Thanks

Unfortunately there is no one correct answer, discussed on the Cirrus forum. One defined Cisco problem is that a some devices (3750, and Chassis devices) will default to one serial number (primary mangement device / slot). Additional defined problems is the evolution of snmp monitoring and Cisco OIDs. Which OID you use may…

Conversation with support At this time the only way to remove a removed object from a device is: From the WEB Console - Settings - Manage Nodes [Node & Group Management] Section - From the Node Management page search for or select the node. - Use + to open and display all components assigned to the device. No more console…

Post NPM 10.2 and NCM 7.0.1 integration still working on your situation also. We now have the same device and ip address under monitoring. I don't know if the history is more important or the linked config data. For our industry the linked config data is regulated by our State.

Final steps for NetFlow removal.. Access the InetPub folder ( :\Inetpub ) and select the solarwinds website. Delete the folder TrafficAnalysis and Traffic Analysis under :\Inetpub\Solarwinds\Orion\. Restart the website. This will make sure you don't see the tab at the website anymore. Backup the database. You will have to…

Will Solarwinds be adding in support of .1.3.6.1.4.1.1981?

Conversation with Support The answer lies in the database. Open SW database Manager Open Database (NetPerfMon) Scroll for table Websites right click select Query Table... Change Display to ReadWrite and Refresh Change the Field ServerName to Fully-qualified address for the WebSite. (Note: Until there is a installation fix…

Update: Post yesterday's upgrade to NCM 7.0.1 the Config Change Report had a sorted alpha listing. However there was a downside the report included the entire config, not just the 5 lines pre and post the changes. Net result a prettier report, but very very large. Looking for that portion of the report config now....

One manual way it to place the various stack serial number information into snmp-server chassis-id " string". This is one tedious problem. There was a non-standard report that was mocked together. It's not the best but may help out. I'll try to remember to post it. Regards P.S. This issue is one the few remaining reasons…

Confirmed with support Since the console will be slowly going away, volume was removed at part of the console view. No one knew why only volume was removed, only that it was.

How I belive this works is for report comparisons as you state Im my environment I backup all configs nightly also selecting the option to: remotely store / print / e-mail out the lines that changed. I do not wish to see the entire config which can be pages, only 5 lines which generally is enough to give the interface and…

I just recently upgraded our Orion install from version 8 to 9. I tried to create a report in Report Writer and noticed that that I cannot filter by the custom properties I had created. They were there before the upgrade, but now they aren't. Any explanations. Please note that if I go into Custom Property Editor everything…

The above option will work only in the Orion / Cirrus server based application. As far as I can tell there is no option for the Web Interface.

In looking through the NCM release notes/admin guide, and from other posts, I see that NCM 7 integrates a lot more into the other Orion products. I'm wondering if it's even worth getting into if we're not using any other Orion products. We're using IPMonitor, as the costs for NPM were prohibitive for us. Should I maybe…

We are using Cirrus to log into our 5505 and 5520 devices without any problems. Our access is through TACACS and AD authentication. The only issue is with ACS requiring you to enable console passwords to an external database for each firewall user. So authentication becomes: User id: AD\User Password: ADPassword enable…

you aren't alone there were a few forum discussions about the change.

Interesting, would like to use this also to support our dark fiber environment.

Fortunately / unfortunately, my organization utilizes Domino. Your solution depends on the underlying OS that Domino is installed on. If it is WinTel then you have all of the support of SNMP, Windows services, WMI, etc. If you are running on the long list of other hardware / software solutions, then you may be limited to…

One alternative is assigning an additional IP address for your network card and designating IIS to utilize that address for your NCM site. This way you can have both sites assigned 80 / 443. If maintenance on one site is required not all of your applications are impacted. Potential issue having nothing to do with IIS. The…

I have installed APM 2 weeks ago and have had nothing but problems with this feature. After 6 weeks with APM SP3 installed the same "unknown" has started to come up. Both Windows Services and Orion Service Manager has Job Scheduler started. Eventually the services stop with the following in the application log. EventType…
