I had to scour the forums to get info on what this is. The answer I got was unsatisfactory, because I was told that this is normal background noise for Orion. If you look further up the post, you'll see that I re downloaded all of the current hotfixes for my version of Orion and re applied them. This fixed it for me and…

Having just logged on to do my daily check routine, I can see that the MainTaskDataReader error is now gone. It has now been 18 hours since I removed the spurious interface I had and reapplied the v8.1 hotfixes, and where my log would normally be full to the brim with these errors it is completely clear. I can't say for…

We have V8.1.3 and SQL 2005 Express on the same box and see this both in Events on the web interface and in Orion system manager. An older version, v8.0 with SQL 2005 Express all together on one box doesn't do this. It did not start until about 2-3 months after initial install, so my question would be why didn't we see it…

If you want to keep SQL 2005 Express, then the advice I've seen so far is good. Just make sure you adjust the data retention periods for things like syslog, and if necessary clear the syslog tables and shrink the db to reclaim the space. I also found that the Traps and TrapVarbinds tables could get large, so I used a…

Ah, ok thanks Josh. I was aware of SP2 but somehow missed that fix as it didn't mention it was 64bit specific. I'll try and get an install window and see how it goes. BTW, is it a requirement that SP1 is installed prior to running the SP2 upgrade? I'm pretty sure that we already have SP1 but want to cover all my bases.…

It has now been over an hour since I reapplied all of the V 8.1 hotfixes, having first removed a spurious interface from Orion, and I have not yet had a repeat of the MainTaskDataReader errors that normally come in pairs once an hour. I still think it is too early to say 'This is fixed', so I will post again tomorrow when…

Before I saw your reply, I'd just re downloaded the V8.1 hotfixes and reapplied all of them, and I'm currently watching over the events log to see if the errors come back, which they haven't yet. I'll post again when I've given it sufficient time to see the outcome. Incidentally I had another issue at around the same time,…

We have basic alerts that determine if a node is down or unknown and the same for interfaces. On this particular site we've not really had the need for Advanced alerts. The alerts we received seemed to be predominiantly these, though with 400+ alerts it was hard to see what was what, though I'm sure some of them were…

Hi Is there a timescale for this to be fixed? We are monitoring a 64bit Windows server with SQL and are getting a similar problem. Logging onto the machine shows all is well, but APM is reporting it as critical. Since we may soon be wanting to monitor more servers like this, it would be really nice to get this fixed. Plus…

I have used the filters/alerts feature in the syslog viewer and the trap viewer that allows you to take an action when a particular message comes in. This can include an email alert. The only problem is getting the alert just right, and often this requires that you have had a particular message that you can use to base…

Orion V8.1.3 with all hotfixes applied, SQL 2005 Express all on the one box. We also get these entires every hour. I've been told the fix is to upgrade to version 8.5, but this isn't a fix in my book and is extremely annoying since it worked perfectly for quite some time until recently. I've also been told, and seen on…
