I'm looking for something similar to what NG did in the post mentioned above, but I would like to be able to make multiple changes simultaneously. For example, if I have 20 custom properties associated with a particular node, it would be nice to be able to edit the text in more than one field, and be able to update all of…

You may want to try to re-run the Configuration Wizard and see if this helps. Keep in mind that if you allow it to re-install the web site, you may have to re-apply any web customizations you've done.

Average response time is just as you described; the average amount of time it takes for the NPM server (or polling engine) to receive an ICMP reply from a given device. Being that it's ICMP based, it is a measurement of round trip time. The ability to strategically source the measurement from a particular device is not…

I've noticed that if I drill into a device or interface from one of our summary views and then use the browser "Back" button to go back to the previous view, that it will sometimes stop refreshing. Once I click on the menu bar item representing that summary view, it starts refreshing again. We have seen this in all of the…

Figured it out... :) Substituted "NetPerfMon.CurrentAccount.AccountID", and all is happy again. :)

Byrona, We too are acting in somewhat of a service provider capacity for our internal customers across multiple companies, and are sending alerts to them for their respective devices. Like you, we opted to send them to a distribution list populated in a custom property instead of individuals wherever possible. Fortunately,…

Are they Windows machines? I'm just a silly litle network guy, so I don't know a lot about Active Directory, but if they're Windows boxes, you should be able to push out changes via a group policy or MSI package. Perhaps someone who knows a little more about it will respond. Vic

JB, We too have number of custom ASP resources that need to be converted. Some are very simple, and others are quite extensive and complex. I have yet to crack the code required to make them work now that the ASP proxy has been removed from 9.5, but if I figure it out, I'll certainly circle back around to this post again.…

Interesting... There's another post out there with similar symptoms, but pertaining to a LB int. If I remember correctly, the other one doesn't even show up when walking the mib directly, which tends to indicate that it's possibly IOS-related. Your situation is a little different, in that you do see the serial ints when…

We tend to heavily favor the advanced alerting engine due to the ability to filter based on custom properties. When advanced alerts are created and tied to custom properties, all the associations are made via the custom properties, and you don't have to go back and add devices to the various alerts. This can save a…

Maybe someone else has an idea of how to do this. Short of that, your best bet may be to use some other criteria. Perhaps you can assign a custom property value and use that as your identifier. We use custom properties quite extensively, as it provides a single point of presence to control many aspects of our Orion…

I tried something similar, but with no success. It appears that the IP address is an absolute match, and wildcards aren't allowed. There is an option for "starts with", but not "ends with". Can you key on some criteria other than IP address? Since they all end in "10", I assume they are possibly the same type of device,…

Does anyone know the answer to this? If this is normal behavior, that's not good... :(

Have you verified that SNMP is correctly configured on all the devices in question, and that you are using the correct community strings to perform the discovery? Try manually adding one of the devices via System Manager and see if it barks at you.

Miron, We use syslog messages to alert us on switch module failures, The tricky part is that there are many different types of possible failures, and there may or may not be a syslog message with each type of failure. Hard failures are relatively easy, but then there are some soft failures that can be sneaky. From what I…

Are you using Windows pass-through authentication? If so, the session will never timeout. Not ideal, but that's how it is... :(

Is it possible that someone added this server to the poller and alert, not knowing that this service doesn't need to be monitored on this particular device? Can you simply remove it from the poller/alert?

Have you seen the following posts? Not quite the same error, but it could be related.

~500. That wasn't an option on the poll... :)

Cool... I'm glad it worked for you. The ability to add custom SQL queries is extremely powerful, as it allows one to represent any bit of info in the database related to the element in question. If it's in the database, you can pull it out of there. We actually have some custom tables that we use to document all of the…

If you go to File > Settings, you can hide them under the "Security" settings.

If you're referring to the web page thresholds, I don't know of an easy way to do that. Furthermore, Orion uses SNMP to collect the info related to transmit and receive discards, so if your router interprets and reports via SNMP that a packet marked with the DE bit set as being a TX discard, then there may be no way around…

Yes, we've created several new tables to track inventory of all network infrastructure devices at our remote facilities using the Orion SQL instance, and have had no problems at all. Also, since it's the same instance, we can easily inter-mingle Orion data with user-defined data in the other tables. Along with this, we…

I ran into the same thing. Try using "Last xx syslog messages" instead of "SysLog Messages related to the Selected Node". This works for us.

The guidelines in the link you posted are very general, and it really depends on how your environment it set up. Where you have the SQL DB, where you're hosting the web site, number of elements, and polling frquency all play a part in it. I would say that it's a good guideline for the additional polling engines as well,…

What if you try unchecking "Group historical data by days" on the "General" tab? The only thing I can figure is that this applies to the web display but doesn't apply to the Report Writer GUI. I've seen some other instances where things don't render exactly the same in the GUI as they do on the web.

JB, I've spent the better part of 2 days trying to figure out a way to make this work while using the Advanced Alert Manager GUI to input the configuration, and here's what I've come up with... It can't be done... :( Below is the actual query used on the back end by the alerting engine to determine whether or not to…

I wasn't able to find anything that seemed to pertain to issues with IE on the Overlib site. Does anyone have toolset integration and the Overlib mouseover working? Maybe I'm just missing something here (which wouldn't be out of the norm for me since...Duhhh... I don't know nuth'n bout no cod'n stuff).

quote:Originally posted by snowjay 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. Snowjay, I was also unable to get Stephen's mods to work. I was able to get yours to work, but it seems to break the…

Steve, Are you talking about "alerts", or "events"? I don't believe there's any way to stop Orion from logging an event when a monitored port transitions, but you can certainly configure your alert to trigger only on the interfaces of interest. If you're using the basic alerting engine, simply uncheck all the interfaces…
