To enable "auditing", at least how I see it: Go to Settings -> "Web Console Settings". Then under the "Auditing Settings" section, check/select "Enable Audit trails".

If it's worth anything, I dug up an *incomplete* list of companies/products that seem to do "notification management" as a core of the product (or a specific product they have) that might be useful. I'm not recommending/commenting on anything in particular with the order or "additional" information added to each. Sorry,…

"...I have nodes showing 60% packet loss..." "...I don't know why and I can't even begin to explain how ICMP packet loss would be related to SNMPd.conf configuration..." I'm curious: Are your nodes being polled via the "Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP - Recommended" setting? If so, I've been struggling with some devices that…

Update: I did research on the products *not* listed above as having Java dependencies (i.e. things not on the list) and it appears DameWare and Mobile Admin may have had dependencies (or at least the old versions we had installed). I uninstalled them (and some other non SolarWinds products) and then was able to uninstall…

It bit me too. This fix worked for me. Thanks!

Just a follow up if anyone reads this: - I have a small Orion environment. It *was* 1 app server + 1 DB server. The IP of the App server was, for example 1.1.1.20. I had some DNS entries set up to point old server names and "easy to use" names to this IP. For example: "reallyoldhost1", "oldhost1", "currenthost1",…

Curious about this statement: "If you have a version older than 11.5.3, you will need to upgrade". Does this mean there's no plan for making an official hotfix available for "Orion Platform 2014.2.1" e.g. 11.0.x, even if that fix may take awhile to create? Edit: I hope I'm not the last person on Earth to still be running…

hmmm... There are *lots* of logs in Orion and ways of adjusting what level of information gets logged in some (all?) of the logs, but it's not so easy to know what specific log is going to be written to, and even if making the logging more verbose (for example) will even show you what you want to know. If no one chimes in…

Regenerating the cert is going to be my next test after I get a reboot on the server as the cert *should* be ok (the script generated it) and I had some issues deleting/removing it so I wanted to read up on the "proper" way to do it as I don't want to go into the registry and delete things just based on a few blogs I ran…

just a follow up... Manilyn Ramos‌ ahh, the check certificate line " $name.Encode("CN=<IP Address>",0)" means check it in the powershell script that generated it, then check the name of the cert itself to make sure they match and are both the same. I think the docs say to use "<IP address of exchange…

Thanks for the info! I'm thinking instead of waiting for 2016 support, or going "unsupported" I might just pull UDT out onto it's own VM running Win 2012 so I can upgrade my other Orion apps to Win 2016. It appears IPAM is similar (no support for 2016) but it has 2016 support on their roadmap so I may be willing to wait…

The posts below starting from LadaVarga​ might fix it. Whenever I have website issues like this that are "repeatable errors" that are page/button specific I run the Configuration wizard to rebuild/reinstall the website components (as mentioned below) and it usually cleans up the issue. If all else fails (usually an entire…

FYI: I performed these steps and it fixed the issue on my system. - NPM 11.0.1 with some other stuff. - I did not (as mentioned below) delete the IIS website (Orion root website folder) - I did reboot the server for good measure. After reboot the Orion website was *super slow* for about 10 minutes,

I don't have a box to test with...can you post the output from executing this part manually (or putting in whatever is in @ARGV manually as well) my $rawDrift = `ntpdate -q @ARGV[0]|grep ntpdate`; by using this: print '~~'.$rawDrift.'~~';

I haven't done it with multiple NPM's, but I've have a setup today with NPM (+ SAM + NCM), UDT, and IPAM all using different databases (each with a different name) inside the same database instance. It works fine but doesn't address the "high throughput/usage" concerns people seem to have if you tried multiple NPM's. Just…

If it's of any help... I had something small that I wrote as part of an existing application that did subscriptions. We didn't have a lot of options/features to work with, but the user UI was something like this: Field 1: Hostname (drop down) [user input] where: (drop down) were choices of: starts with, contains, matches,…

RichardLetts‌ Update: I was able to add the device(s) as ICMP only, then change it to SNMP after it was added so I didn't need to use the API method... Then I created some device pollers and it's all working well....except... The "packet loss" of the device(s) is at ~50% loss ( it fluctuates a little bit), causing Orion to…

Vendor: Eltek Device: Enexus ...however...I'm looking at their root MIB definition as well as the fact that the device responds to SNMPv2 and I found this little blurb on the net "SNMPv2 includes MIB-II and adds some new objects"...In their root MIB they have: IMPORTS MODULE-IDENTITY, enterprises FROM SNMPv2-SMI; Is it…

Update: We just upgraded to NPM v12.0.0 and the issue seems to have disappeared. After the upgrade I went in and "cleared/reset" some of the local databases (*.sdf databases) with the blank templates provided (which I used to do after every patch/update/maintenance etc.) per these instructions : The job scheduler database…

FYI: When I went to this link (just now) I landed on a "sign in" page (link has been taken down, as expected), BUT, earlier this week I found a similar page/link relating to SAM 6.7 that I landed on while looking at the SAM 6.61 docs/release notes? that was incorrectly linked from there (like I wanted to see a hotfix for…

I'm a bit behind on this: Submitted a support ticket, basically the answer was: Polling AlwaysOn MSSQL databases by polling each server in the cluster is not supported. You have to poll it all via the single Cluster IP. Well, I disagree this *should* be the case, but hey: It's not supported for some unknown reason (and…

Also: My DBA re-ran the permissions setup script on the databases and no change. I also have some odd job queuing that's been occurring recently. Since no one has any quick or obvious answers for a fix, and it's impacting our database monitoring (and possibly other things), I'm going to open a support ticket. I'll post the…

Just an update, since I recently have been talking to someone about this. Our specific "polling stopped because of server soft hang" issue was determined to be caused by Symantec, which the cause + fix for is here: Windows computers hang on startup after installing Symantec Endpoint Protection earlier than 12.1.6

sorry for the late reply An very small but possibly useful example for your use case would be: - Create a custom node property called, say, "IsCriticalServer". For the values of this property, you could just make this a "Yes/No" field - Then make go to a node and look at this custom property. I believe "Yes/No" custom…

Summary: Yes Scan monitoring: It's close enough for me to call it "resolved" in that I have some way to monitor for it, even if it's just once a day. I didn't want to try build a more advanced solution using a SAM template (or something) as I'm hoping that someone else (hopefully SolarWinds support) will offer do a more…

This is *not* supported in any way so perform at your own risk, but I use these queries to help track down alerting failures. I'm running NPM 11.5.3. 1. Get the "node ID" of the host that should have alerted. For example, I an using: '1234'. To do this, go to the node and look at the URL. In the URL it will have the nodeID…

Update: It appears that there is some issue with Orion not honoring the node level overrides to Packet loss and Response time thresholds. I made the node level/instance level overrides to these parameters to ridiculous things ( warn if packet loss > 99%, crit > 100% or warn if packet loss = 0, critical if = 1) and it makes…

also: I can choose the "Event Summary" resource as it shows up in the "Add resource" search results. When I try to edit one of the views that have all of the Event, Syslog, and Traps resources on the same page, the Event summary shows up in the resource search and the other two don't.

We don't really use the syslog component in Orion so it's going to other database(s) and/or applications that other teams control. We do have Orion listening for SNMP traps though. We get about 8,000 traps/hour.

I'm going to take a guess at this, because I really don't know, but... From my limited experience with Basic and Advanced Alerts it seems like they were written by two different people or written at different times because they have different functionality. I assume Basic was written first, then Advanced was written later…
