Well that's just plain odd. I've never seen that before. Does it do that if you're accessing the Orion Web Console directly on the main poller too? My first thought is 'it's the browser, try updating it and/or trying a different browser', but if you're still seeing it when you go through the process on the poller itself,…

One other thing to consider, is that with WMI you will not get server interfaces listed. It'll show all the other stuff, but when you list resources, it will not show the interfaces. SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Monitoring network interfaces on a Windows server which is a WMI managed node in Orion. EDIT: I note you…

Awesome! This post contains using what's already in Orion, with everyone's favorite "friendly neighborhood Spider-Man" of Orion: Custom Properties! I'll be stealing this for future use! Thanks for sharing, adatole​!

To reduce the email alerts for components, set up dependencies so that all the applications on the server in question depend on the server being up. With this setup correctly you should only get one email when the host server goes down, and not one for each component.

I'm guessing your instance is out of support, otherwise I would recommend updating it to 6.1, see if that resolves the problem. With the two clusters that are reporting, do you see all the information you should expect to see? The error you posted in your other thread indicates and issue within the module, a pretty serious…

Go to 'Manage Nodes', and add in the 'Polling Method' column (click at the end of the final column). Check that you're polling your windows hosts via SNMP or WMI. I'm going to guess that they're either all going to be ICMP (ping only) or you have a polling problem. If you are using SNMP or WMI, check: * If SNMP, confirm…

Hey chandd​. This thread is a little old, so I hope you already have a working solution to this, but if not, the easiest way would be to run a discovery against all your network hardware, using a scheduled discovery in Discovery Central. When you get to the 'Monitoring Settings' part, as long as you are running NPM 12.0+,…

Add a custom HTML resource to your NOC view, and then paste in the following code: <object data=http://www.twitter.com/whateveruser/ width="600" height="400"> <embed src=http://www.twitter.com/whateveruser/ width="600" height="400"> </embed> Error: Embedded data could not be displayed. </object> Change the text indicated…

As far as I'm aware, the only output from it is via 'Export to PDF", at the top of the view. As it mashes together bits from the other modules, the only way you could do something similar is with a fancy SQL/SWQL query harnessing custom properties. I just had a look at the current Orion demo site and couldn't see anything…

Hi bkohls‌. Easiest way would be to create a new custom property applied to interfaces, and then add a value to this custom property just to the interfaces you're interested in seeing. Then, add the resource "Curent Traffic on All Interfaces" to your view, and then edit this resource. In the Filter Nodes (SQL) section, add…

I think I've worked it out. The first config tells IOS where to find the certificate for security, and in the second it's loaded the certificate thumbprint into the config. It'll always see this as a conflict. I have the same issue with a few of my clients, but not being a network guy (I'm learning as we speak) I didn't…

Thinking outside the box a little here: Instead of a report, why not create a view which contains the information you're looking for? The view resource types lend themselves well towards what you're looking for, and in addition it'll allow you to provide the PM with a live view of what's going on. Plus, she/he'll be able…

Hey holj102​ Check your config comparison settings (Settings>NCM Settings>Comparison Criteria), see if there's anything wonky with those. Try removing criteria 5 & 6 shown in your screenshot. These must be your own additions as they are not defaults, and I've not come across any issues with this and I run pure defaults at…

aLTeReGo‌, rob.hock‌ Can either of you superheroes help me out with this one?

Do all your alert triggers have the global default SMTP alias set, rather than specifying a SMTP server? If they do, you could remove the SMTP server (go to Settings>Manage SMTP Servers) and since Orion will no longer know where to send email alerts, they will not go anywhere. You'll have to add the email settings back in…

Currently, you can only monitor an IP address once per polling engine. This is just the way Orion works. Official link which explains this is below: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Cannot_add_multiple_devices_with_the_same_IP_addresses If you are using Orion agents, you can…

Have you tried running the installer as an administrator (right-click>run as administrator)? Shouldn't be necessary given your AD account permission, but as you're installing it on a desktop OS, it may be required.

I've had a good look through the NCM tables, and it doesn't appear to be something you can set as a custom value on a per node basis. I would log a call with SolarWinds Support to confirm this is the case, and if so, then you've got only one option I'm afraid: amend the global TELNET/SSH protocol timeout setting

What you could do, is create a new group, and add the interfaces that are on the VLAN in question to that group. If you use the 'worst status' in the advanced options of the group, if one of the interfaces goes down, the group's pip will change colour to RED, showing your service desk at a glance that there is a problem.…

What version of NPM are you running? Once I know that, I can guide you on how to create a suitable report.

Whilst you could create a new group for the guests on your host, and then create a new dependency, using the host as the parent and the new group as the child, unless you only have one host this won't help you as your guests will likely move hosts during compute optimization and the dependency will no longer be relevant.…

It could be down to the way Orion sees an interface. Effectively an interface or volume are child entities of a node, and as such are treated differently? This would explain why the alerts on nodes persist, as node will always exist unless it is completely deleted, but both interfaces and volumes could be transient. Maybe…

Are you sure it's the devices that are being discovered, and not new resources on the existing nodes? For example, I have a discovery job running every day on one client's instance, they are running 11.5.2 of NPM. The discovery initially discovered lots of 'changes' in some of the physical machines, but this was due to the…

Try looking at the network bindings under Advanced Options in 'Network Connections': * Windows Key + R, type ncpa.cpl to get to the Network Connections window. * Hold down 'alt' to see the hidden menu options, and click 'Advanced' and the 'Advanced Settings' * In 'Adapters and Bindings', note down the current order of your…
