I've been dying to try the new Alert Engine, but my question is what happens to all my current alerts? Do they get migrated? Or do I have to start over?

If you want to have full visibility to devices in your DMZ from your inside network ICMP and SNMP need to be opened up to the DMZ from the inside network.

For root cause alerting I just make sure I have accurate alert suppressions that do exactly what you mention. I always have a supression for the device before it, or the switch if I'm dealing with servers. Now that only takes care of the emails that get sent out, the Orion home page still will look like a festive christmas…

Don, Paste Special is also grayed out. ??

Hmmm, I may have found a problem. I am not able to set device limitations on user id's any more. Update: Well if I log out and log in using the log in screen my device limitations work but if I just log in using the pass-thru authentication the limitations dont work. =[

Update: It works great! Yeah, having the domain name in there looks a little funky but it saves me from having a bunch of visitors to my cube when they forget their password. Thanks again Bryan. Jay

Thanks! I'm going to give it a shot. If the users could change their own passwords I probably wouldnt care one way or the other but since they cant... I'll let you know how I make out.

charles & mpearson, just copying those two lines won't do it, you need to have the onmouseover event also. You need to scroll to the right to see it in Stephens's post.

I did it a slightly different way. I only unzipped the overlib.js file to x:\inetpub\solarwinds\netperfmon and then modified View.asp by putting the following under just above the </head> tag <script type="text/javascript" src="overlib.js"> Then I modified 33-InterfaceTraffic.Resource with the following giving it a…

Unless you are using another program for SNMP traps I see no need to have it configured (last I looked Orion only does Syslog). I have my traps logged via syslog using the logging x.x.x.x and also don't forget to set your timestamps properly. clock timezone xxx -x clock summertime xxx recurring and some variation of these…

I actually fixed the leading space problem for my circumstance. Here is the background: I created custom fields for alerting purposes (peoples names, if checked they get alerted) and wanted to be able to update them thru the web interface. Because I wanted them to be check boxes on the web interface I created…

Well I figured out where that space is coming from. It's being inserted via the web editing. If you do a trace on the database you can see when the xxx.Update.asp code is run it updates the field like this in the query:fieldname=' 1' instead offieldname='1' That leading space is not allowing me to update my true/false…

Interesting ideas, you have given me something to look into. I use a combo of the built in alerts and the alerts beta. For simple up/down alerts the built in engine is a tad easier to set up quickly. But I wonder if I can create a custom property for each person and set it as a yes/no field. If yes then they get an email,…

Disabling the alerts is all fine and dandy if it's a manual reboot but if push patches to the server and it then gets automatically rebooted we get the alerts. Or as in the most recent case someone was doing maintenance on the server and clicked reboot by accident, well we had a whole group of people in the data center…

Thanks Greg!

Anyone, anyone?

In v7 if you go to the Admin page and click on Account Lists I believe it will show you the last time each account logged in.

Thank you Don!

Thanks Don! The code was a real help. I was able to cut down my Custom views from about 15 to 3! I did have one problem though, since I use pass through authentication my user ID's have a \ in them (doman\username) so I was unable to use map names the same as account names. Plus I have several users who need to view the…
