Kudos on the updates! I'm especially excited about the route table polling. I've already tweaked SolarWinds.NPM.Poller.dll.config file to increase the limit above 1000, and I've seen good results. But how often does this polling happen? I assume it's SNMP, is that correct? I've tried "Poll Now" and "Rediscover" for two…

I created a new report on the poller using Report Writer and copied it to my separate web server, but I get the same exact error as above: System.ApplicationException: Field not specified or invalid at SolarWinds.Orion.Web.Reporting.C1QueryWrapper.BuildSQL() at…

Well, I am still having problems with this issue even after running 4 SQL scripts to clean up part of the database. I'm pretty disappointed with how unresponsive the support team has been to my problem. I shouldn't have to call and wait on hold forever just to be told "we'll have your engineer call you back". I haven't…

Answered my own question: Click Admin, then under Details click Polling Engines

Where do you check the "SNMP Outstanding" information?

Okay, I found it on Windows 7 in that exact same path...stupid hidden directories! :-( Sent it to you via e-mail.

Any resolution from support on this?

Netflow Developer sent me a hotfix package today to address this. I installed it a few hours ago and so far the LDF file is only up to 1.5GB. Before the hotfix, it would grow to 65GB in a matter of hours, so I think this is working for us. If you continue to have this problem, contact support and refer to my case (119612).…

I have a folder at c:\users\profiles\<username>\Application Data, but there's no Solarwinds folder there. Turns out it's in a hidden folder c:\programdata\SolarWinds, but there's no "Dashboard" folder there...I just see APMVerbLog, NetFlowConfigurator, NetworkAtlas, and TFTPServer folders along with a bunch of individual…

I have a case open with Solarwinds support (119612) and so far they've had me upgrade to NPM sp4 and NTA sp2. After doing that, I shutdown Netflow service and waited a while, and the .ldf file was only using .5% of it's size (it had grown to 46GB). After shrinking to 5GB and running without Netflow for a few hours, the…

I opened support case 120288 "Node polling okay, but interface polling not working" and was told there is a MEMORY LEAK in the business layer of the Orion systems. I was given 3 DLL files to replace existing ones and a procedure to replace the overgrown LDF database log file on the poller. I will continue to monitor, but…

Aha! I wasn't aware there was a v5.1 integration module. I downloaded from solarwinds.com and installed that, and now I'm COOKING WITH GAS! Thanks Chris! Swack

I just created a "orion stop all services.bat" file with the following contents: net stop SolarWindsAlertingEngine net stop SWCollectorDataProcessorSvc net stop SWCollectorManagementAgentSvc net stop SWCollectorPollingControllerSvc net stop SWInfoServiceSvc net stop SWInfoServiceSvcV3 net stop SWJobEngineSvc net stop…

I've created a custom page showing the Min/Max/Avg bps (receive/transmit) of each interface of one of our VMWARE ESX servers. However, we're using 4 interfaces on each server connected to a Cisco switch without port channeling. Rather than a chart for each interface, I'd rather have a chart showing the overall bandwidth…

Was there ever resolution for this issue? I'm running NPM SP4 and NTA SP2 and even with Netflow service disabled I see the poller stops showing interface data after running for a while (though strangely it still shows availability). Restarting the NPM services on the poller seems to fix the issue.

I'm definitely interested in trying out the Google add-on, but I'm certainly no coding geek. We've got over 1000 retail locations that we monitor with Orion and it would be AWESOME if we could have them all on a map. (It would be even more awesome if I didn't have to drag-and-drop 1000 dots onto a map.) I look forward to…

Is there an advantage of using this method compared to doing "net stop" and then "net start" for all the individual services? I second Jackwilson's idea of having "shutdown everything" option available from command line.

I do like MapMaker and I've been using it quite effectively...but with over 1000 retail locations across the US and Canada, you can understand why I'm particularly interested in the Google Maps resource that this thread has been discussing (and anxiously awaiting). :-) Swack

Thanks Marie!

I wasn't sure if I did the first time, so I ran the repair again and selected database and website. I got a couple errors because we don't have syslog installed, but other than that the repair wizard finished and when I checked all the Orion services were up and running. Unfortunately, I'm still seeing the same thing.

What was the vendor's suggestion for this problem? I'm seeing some similar behavior.

Great! I'm making progress. When I set up the individual jobs, I noted the "Job-####" number where it will log to. But when I got to the C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Configuration Management\Jobs folder those jobs don't appear to exist. ??

I am having the same problem. Did this issue get resolved?

I am confused about RAID 10 vs RAID 5. My understanding is that RAID 5 is striped across multiple disks, and I've heard Solarwinds say "avoid striping". My SAN guy just explained to me that RAID 10 is two equally-sized striped arrays that have the same data written to both. So wouldn't RAID 10 be bad? Or did he…

This post just helped me fix my problem. Great job!

I understand the basic concept of being able to copy the URL for a particular chart, but is there a way for NPM (v9.1 SP4) to have a link to a custom page that shows the Min/Max/Avg bps for particular interfaces of interest? I want to be able to create a page that shows all these individual charts in one page, perhaps with…

I have seen this as well, and it turns out not to be gaps but the response time in the "gaps" is <1ms.

Chris, This method worked well for the manual method (right-click tree > execute script), but when I tried to run it from a job, it was not properly substituting the "NodeCaption" variable value. Instead, when the job starts, my TFTP server gets flooded with parallel requests for the file ${NodeCaption}.txt (literally that…

Fantastic! Thanks Chris! That's exactly what I needed! It works like a champ!

Okay, I upgraded and I continue to have the same problem. Any ideas?
