Apologies- perhaps you could post a screenshot of what you are seeing there?

In 10.7 or later if using ConnectNow to connect your edge devices, the link color can change based on utilization and status.

Andy, This is still a known feature request that we reference in our What We're Working on post for 10.7: What are we working on after NPM 10.6 Working on it.

This is actually a known issue we are looking at. Apologies for the inconvenience sir.

If you customize page and edit the NOC view settings, the rotation interval can be specified. Alternatively, you could change the global page refresh setting.

If you check out the beta for v12- we have automatic geolocation for worldmaps: NPM v12 Beta2 Now Available

Typically we would see MSMQ used if we have trouble communicating with the DB (or with high DB latency.) Support ticket may not be a bad idea: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/

There are a few ways to do this. Commonly you would use Custom Properties (page 345 in admin guide) and key off of that. Groups (page 356) is another choice. http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/OrionAdministratorGuide.pdf

John, Would you perhaps be able to post a screenshot?

Would it be possible to get a screenshot? Have we tried an alternate browser?

What exactly was the alert for? Node Status / response time / etc?

Not at present- but certainly something we would be interested in implementing.

Have you tried the new web-based reporting in >10.6? The Dynamic Query builder can filter data, and Custom Table / Custom Chart resources are highly configurable.

All discovery logs stored here: C:\Users\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\Discovery Engine\ If the problem visible on Add Node.ListResources this log can be helpful: C:\Users\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion\Core.BusinessLayer.log If you're not making headway, our support team would be happy to help.

What model WLC / APs are we using here?

For an advanced alert, edit the trigger condition and set "Do not trigger this action until..."

With dedicated flow storage in use, that quad Xeon box is in the right range to handle 4000 interfaces at stock polling intervals without issue. RAID1+0 is preferred, but owing to the number of spindles you have that may prove difficult to do and separate out spindles for OS / logs.

At the moment it would not be possible to create a custom signature for non-http applications. If you could perhaps email me a small PCAP (rob.hock{at}solarwinds.com) we can see about inclusion for the future.

On the "Import Preview" step you can bulk-select any items you do not wish to monitor and click "Ignore." The remainding items can then be slected and monitored.

The "Digest" email is something we are looking at for the future. You could hardcode the message body at present, but that can be a pain to manage at scale. There may be some fancy SQL we can look at as well.

Does not appear to be a known issue. Would it be possible to try a different browser?

If you were to use the link utilization functionality in NA, and we can determine topology, we will display the link down on next topology poll.

Tyler, A support ticket may be the best path forward here: http://www.solarwinds.com/support/ We'll need to dig into what topology information we're gathering, and where.

Please see: http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/1293/How+do+I+add+a+MIB+to+the+SolarWinds+database%3F++How+do+I+add+OIDs+to+the+SolarWinds+database%3F

TCP port monitor may be the best bet for this. (http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm#context=SolarWinds&file=OrionAPMPH…)

Jonny, Run C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\SolarwindsDiagnostics.exe and save the diagnostics export. If you look in the zip file SolarwindsDiagnostics\LogFiles\ you should find the ammo you need. Barring that, feel free to open a support ticket and our support team can get to the bottom of it.

If you check out the 10.7 beta (http://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/215411#215411) you will find a new "NOC Mode" which removes the header / footer. We also added support for 6 columns in a view. We will certainly look for further opportunities to squeeze more information in the available screen real estate.

Jon, Glad you like the new features. Your existing report writer reports should appear in the "Manage reports" list, however they are read-only. In regards to the % discards report, that could be dependant upon the amount of data being reported on. That is a particularly heavy report in terms of calculations. Did the chart…

I believe 9.0.1399 is the RTM (non SP1) version of 2005. Perhaps we could confirm / try to install SP4?

No hover-over functionality at present, however you can add links to node details:
