Yeah - this is a complaint I have too - often I've had to download the additional poller and uncompress it only to find its the same as the versions I have most of the time and only 1 has changed - I dont see any reason why they need to be bundled like this - especially since I keep having to install them all separately…

Agree completely on this one. We heavily use syslog for all our devices - switches/routers/servers - we additionally use the Windows event log forwarder for all our servers - it's invaluable! Like a few others I hoped that the Kiwi addition would help beef up the core NPM syslog functionality but seems nothings changed in…

Agreed - this would be a good one - vid conf is huge for us know and this would really help. According to Configuring IP SLAs Video Operations [Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.2 SE] - Cisco Systems support is a bit limited but I'll take what I can get! Thanks, Sean

Agreed! We just started putting in a large number of HP c7000 boxes - it would be real nice to get better visibility without having to resort to building custom pollers again. We're also using the Flex10 switches in those boxes so looking for any better visibility we can get.

Hi all, I'm having exactly the same issue. DLLHOST.EXE runs the server out of memory in a few hours to a day if I dont kill the process... I see the same problem with the OrionCustomPollingService.exe. What I have noticed thats interesting - if I PAUSE the custom poller then (obviously) it stops leaking memory - BUT - I…

Thanks for the hotfix guys - unfortunately for me at least it didn't work - still see the same problem after a while - think my server lasted about 4-5hrs before I saw the dreaded timeout error message again...

Hmm - yeah - I still see the same problem running with NPM v9.5 sp3. This problem has been around for what seems forever now (way back in v8 days at least) - I'm well used to killing and disabling the services when doing upgrades/service packs. I keep hearing it's getting fixed but still no joy... It seems directly related…

I just truncated both my NetFlowSummary2 and FlowStats - both of which were huge - they seemed to have data from a year ago... Afterwards my database came down from 29GB for the MDF and 5GB for the Logs to 5GB for the MDF and 20MB(!) for the logs - much better...

Wow! Awesome - I didn't realise it was now included - I just saw it vanish from all my page views... Thats great!! Has the behaviour changed at all? I see a few devices showing syslog msgs but only showing IPs - this seems to be devices that are sending syslog but are not in Orion. I dont remember seeing these previously…

Hi Denny, you mentioned (much) earlier getting Tables into reports - we're now heavily using the Tables feature of UNDP but the reports area is sadly lacking in this respect - eg I have a table that get Cisco Card SN# and Model # and display this nicely on the Node Details page - but I need to be able to create reports in…

Just my two cents on this. I always use the System Manager as the preferred tool - it's MUCH faster and easier to manipulate nodes currently - although I'm all in favour of a web based solution currently I find some things quite slow and a few things I cannot do. For example - if a server drive is replaced or removed from…

It's a nice useful feature - I especially like being able to customize it on the maps page - would be really nice if it was customizable everywhere like this. Would be even nicer if I could get it to pop up graphs if I hovered over interfaces so I could see a graph without having to open a link - saw that someone had this…

Hi there, yep - loads of them. I'm monitoring the 2 DCs in my site for about 600 users for about 3 days now - so far nothing is showing up under All User Logins resource or on the ports where the PCs are. Sean

Hi Gob, Now that v9.5 of Orion is out - are you planning to upgrade your syslog parser to support ASPX? I just upgraded and I'm already missing your excellent tool! The solarwinds guys really should integrate this tool into Orion and pay you for your time(!) Thanks so much! 

Hi Steve I'm able to find the hostname fine in the Port Details List resource (on Node Details page) - however when I click on the actual port - it doesnt show. I've seen similar inconsistencies between the port view and node view on all my devices - in fact I notice even the Solarwinds main demo page for UDT shows similar…

I've been restarting the w3wp service at least once a day for 4 weeks now - often 2 or 3 times a day. All I heard from support was a request for diagnostics - no word on even whether this was just me that had this problem - it's obvious from this thread it's quite widespread... I have to say I'm not very impressed with the…

I just tried this fix and got the same problem... I had to remove the Config listing from the Node Details page to get it back to normal again...

Everytime I upgrade Orion I have to spend time removing the Thwack resources these days since it slows down the pages a lot because of we use a proxy and it doesn't work. Can this proxy setting be moved to somewhere easily accessible like the NPM settings on the website? So I could set this and not worry about it in the…

Hi Mark, you mentioned ratio - is it possible to change the scales on the charts - many of my charts are auto scaling to speeds that are no very readable - ie I have internet lines that are 3-4mb - the graph autoscales up to 2Mbps fine - but if traffic goes above 2Mbps then it jumps to 10Mbps which makes the graphs very…

Hi there, Been looking at trying to get the custom MIB info out to another webpage just like this - specifically so I can check the HP server warranties - I just gave this a try and ALMOST got it working - but it seems the script passes some extra characters to the webpage. When passed to the HP webpage it seems to add "+"…

Hi there, sure - will open up a ticket. I tried also adding just the AD DC and seeing if it picks up the user logins - but although it seems to polling fine its so far failed to find any user logins at all - even ones on the local DC itself - support ticket? Thanks Sean

Yep - all good now after following the KB article. Thanks Radim!

I just installed the 8.5.1 upgrade and now I have managed to make this work - however - I found that I *NEED* to put ConfigListing.asp into the C:\Inetpub\SolarWinds\NetPerfMon or will NOT work - unlike step 2 which says you can delete this file and place it under C:\InetPub\SolarWinds\Orion\NetPerfMon folder (which does…

Hi there, For the Microsoft DNS setup we have 2 DHCP servers which each have the full scopes (for offices with multiple subnets we're using ip helper addresses to forward requests) - on each server we exclude the range of addresses that the other is using. So lets say we have a /24 subnet - we usually reserve the first 50…

Sounds great - I'd love to get that guy into a custom resource or through a report to display WMI data on the Node Details page. Please share when you get it going - thanks!

Add another to this list - we're starting to roll a lot more these out this year too - I'm already starting to feel the lack of monitoring on Orion for the HyperV. I'd hate to have to resort to other tools... 

Thanks for that Mav, got it installed now and things are looking better. I also noticed that I hadn't installed the Poller version on my poller either and I suspect that's why some switches didn't have pollers - doh. I still don't see DNS names resolving though under Port History - I *can* search using the DNS name and it…

I thought about creating an alert that checked every website monitor - problem with that is that I have 14 proxy servers and they're all checking various different websites 3-6 websites each so I'd need to setup an alert for every proxy server - a huge pain - and something I'd have to adjust every time I changed or added…

This is great - can we get this put into some preference settings for IPAM? Perhaps along with settings to adjust the thresholds for whats Red/Yellow/Green for % of free IPs left? Thanks! 

Hi Denny, Fantastic news - dare I ask when thats likely to come out? :) Thanks
