I would like the product to support network dependencies, so that if router site1 is down then so are all nodes in site1. Custom reports, attributes, and alerts are too much of a pain to configure for this. I would like to see autogenerated dynamic maps that can use the knowledge of the network to update as…

Also, I would love to have a rack diagram type mapping feature. It is too big of a pain to try and create all of my own icons. It would be great to be able to virtually show a rack and have a bad server flashing, so others know exactly where it is.

I am having the same problems as well. Working with support on this now.

I have each alert labeled as High, Medium, or Low. I encourage our users to filter low alerts into another folder, and accept high alerts in their inbox. Users can then setup enable/disable an email rule whenever they are on call. it is pretty easy. Just send all the email to everyone, it adds to accountability anyway.…

 you may also want to verify that you are querying the same ip address in solarwinds as is sending netflow. We utilize the loopback interface for both. The ip address is passed in the url i think. 

For one thing, the mapping is great Also the scheduled reports, drilldowns, and custom diffserv/cos/application monitors are great. We demoed several netflow applications, including the solarwinds piece, but decided on this one. Maybe they improved their product since 1.0. 

I have the old application monitor 

 we use Scrutinizer also. it is way better than the Solarwinds netflow tool. www.plixer.com/.../scrutinizer_solarwinds.php

I didn't... basically I build the main pages with "where" filters, but the users have rights to see whatever they want if they know how to get to it (say top 10 lists, search, etc). We are 1 company, not really worried about keeping things separate. It would be nice to be able to use some of the canned stuff out of the…

Not really, we had it back up in 10 minutes... 

couldn't you use the "logging source-interface" command?

That is such a relief. I was going mad doing this out of order.

I had this problem in 8.5, but do not in 9.1. It thows a bunch of exception errors in the solarwinds.net evt log file. restarting the alerting service corrected the problem for a couple weeks.

I am trying to create a report of monitored servers by subnet. then I can validate what I am monitoring against the engineer toolkit's ip address management. I want to verify that servers are not being brought online without being monitored.

I have used both, nagios in a previous position and solarwinds at my current position. Nagios is great for flexibility of configuration, but that comes at a price. It is much harder to manage a nagios server than solarwinds, because all of the configuration is done through text files. Plus management likes to know that…

No the only thing that the SQL Statement will return is a single number (like the most recent syslog ID) I wonder if they have setup the sql statement to only return a single value.

I generally reload the IIS Website and the Orion COM+ Application services and then all is well... For about a month at least.

I am having the same problem, and had a ticket opened regarding this. Support did not find the issue. Just wanted to put another user behind a push to get this resolved.

Bump<?> 

 we had a similar issue, although about a month after upgrading to vi3.5. we reverted to a backup from ESXranger and all is well now. Prior to the restore, the service would start peg the cpu, and the client would fail to connect to the netperfmon service. 

 the restarted messages go off of uptime, which is a 32 bit counter that increments every 1/10 th second. Restarting the snmp service restarts the counter. the real kicker is that after about 419 days, the counter rolls over and starts over. this will also trigger a restart message. 

 you can do this via the read/write aspect of solarwinds database manager update nodes set community = 'NewCommunity' where community ='OldCommunity'

 I am, and other than a speed hit, it works pretty well.

I would like to participate as well.

Why don't you just modify the view layout of your nodes to show what you want?

I use the solarwinds reporting stuff to query non solarwinds databases. Basically I gave the solarwindsnpm sql user read rights to the database and then ran queries against my VirtualCenter Database. They are on the same MSSQL cluster instance though. I don't know a ton about sql, but I think you can configure cross…
