Same here!

Nicole, I'm interested in participating in the Beta.

Excellent blog ! The code and screenshots are a great addition.

It is always strongly recommended to backup your database and any customization you have made to Orion prior to any upgrading/patching. Most production systems have recurring backups made, but it never hurts making a full DB backup in case you need to back out of the upgrade for any reason. There should not be any downtime…

Thanks!

Looking forward to the new functionality! I'm especially excited for 1,2,3,(5),6. I would also like to vote to see EIGRP included. 

, what you describe makes sense. If you have both aforementioned options checked and are still getting alarms for the exact same alert every day you may want to open up a ticket with SolarWinds and post the resolution to this thread.

Along the same lines of what bsciencefiction.tv posted, you could configure port forwarding via an application (such as IPTables). Alternatively, there are protocol specific solutions. For instance, for SNMP you could use a trap multiplexer, such as Trap Blaster or Trap Exploder to use the old IP and forward traps to the…

Experienced the exact same issue on Windows 2008 Server. Renaming ExternalTools.xml under C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\SolarWinds\Dashboard as described by greg@solarwinds.net resolved the issue for us.

Good to hear!

Great article ! It works in the NPM 10.5 beta. Looking forward to your next version.

Am interested in implementing this functionality. Anyone have a chance to test the code with NPM 10.4?

Mario, Are you wondering which Advanced Alerts apply to your additional pollers? If so, once defined, all Advanced Alerts are automatically applied. Advanced Alerts run against your Orion database. Since all data from all pollers go to the same database, Advanced Alerts will consequently be applied to all collected data.…

Not that I am aware of. However, maybe you could configure an Advanced Alert to only alert in case both the Master and Slave are down.

Running through the SolarWinds Configuration Wizard (launched from the Windows Start menu) may get your install back up and humming. See attached screen shot.

By "active interfaces", do you mean operationally up interfaces? If so, as part of network discovery, you will be prompted as to which interfaces to import into Orion. At that time, you can select to import only operationally up interfaces as shown in the attached screenshot.

Sure, that's definitely doable in NPM. Go to Manage Nodes, select the nodes you would like to update with a different polling interval (by checking the boxes to the left of the nodes), click Edit Properties and then scroll down towards the bottom of the page. There you will be able to set the polling interval to a…

Hi , I don't seem to have a SCP badge on my profile yet. Would you please add it.

You can suppress alerts by enabling "Do not execute this action if the Alert has been Acknowledged" within an Advanced Alert as shown in the attached screen shot.

Contracer, I found this post to have useful info: If you drop the following (slightly modified) code in an Advanced SQL report it should do the trick. SELECT N.StatusLED as Status,N.Caption AS Device,MAX(E.EventTime) AS DownTime, Cast(DateDiff(day,MAX(E.EventTime),getdate()) as varchar) + ' Day(s) ' +…
