Here's an example that measures the difference (in minutes) between the trigger and reset times. ${NodeName} was down for ${SQL:Select TriggerTimeOffset / 60 From AlertStatus Where AlertDefID = (Select AlertDefID From AlertDefinitions Where AlertName = '${AlertName}') AND ActiveObject = '${NodeID}'} minutes. We use this…

We're focusing on web performance for the next major release, so the need for this troubleshooting should be less. Oooow!!! There goes my classic ASP. :P

I have had a ticket open on it for three days and have yet to receive much of a response. I've seen this problem since at least 6.x, but always chalked it up to poor server hardware. In our case, we never saw it in v7 or 8, nor are we seeing it on our test instance (9.1 SP5) that's running in our lab. The first time I've…

Ah... HA!!! I was thinking the custom property was a requirement. Silly me... :) Although this is something we deffinitely want, as we have a number of devices that we monitor with NPM that don't have config management capabilities, thus we don't really want them to get pulled into NCM.

Ok that was what I hoped :-) But where/how do I get these pollers? Couldn't find it on the Website nor in installation Zip-File? The additional polling engines are purchased separately. If you have purchased some of them, they should be available for download from the customer area on the web site.

I think what we really need is the ability to add a custom SQL query string as a condition. This would provide limitless flexibility and control over the alerting process. As it is today, one is limited to just the options that are presented in the GUI.

I agree. That's the ultimate goal. I have the same concerns as you, but until such time as something like this is available natively within the product, the time savings, flexibility, and decreased complexity involved with the administration of Orion is well worth the few moments it takes to implement this work-around (at…

The issue I have had since day one of the install is that the basic alerts will trigger every time the NetPerfMon service is restarted. VERY annoying. As I get time, I have been trying to convert all my basic alerts to advanced so this doesn't happen. Good point. For the others in this thread, are your issued related to…

Tim, In my case, I'm using IE7 on my workstation and IE6 on the NPM server. It's naturally a bit faster when running in the browser on the NPM server itself, but it's still not where it needs to be. Casey, I've tried various grouping scenarios and though the different options do seem to impact performance, none of them…

Well, POO...!!! As long as it was pasted to all of them, then I'm out of ideas. :(

We're running 8.5.1 with HF2, and we're seeing this behavior as well.

Tim, I'm having a problem with the new ajax node tree resource, whereby we need to href "NetperfMon/View.asp?View=NodeDetails" instead of "Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx". We have some resources on our node details views that require classic asp to pass security and other variables. I was easily able to make this work…

If you're simply re-arranging the columns, you should not need to stop NPM, and your CP-dependent alerts should work just fine.

Well, POO!!! It was worth a shot. :(

Gotcha... :)

Weeeeell now... Isn't that interesting..? :) It works for us, but we also have some custom stuff going on. We modified "Login.aspx" such that anyone who doesn't have a domain account defined on the NPM server will be presented with a login page with various options. On this page, we have links to various views; each of…

NG beat me to it...

The problem I've found with using a query such as this is that it logs an "Interface Name Change" event for every interface to which the query applies (with v9 SP2). Are you guys seeing the same thing? Based on the following post, it sounds like this is a known issue that should be resolved soon.

Thanks Denny. Yeah, we ran into this with 7.8.5 on Win2K and were able to get it working, but it doesn't seem to be happening with 8.5.1 on Win2003. I knew you had plans to webify this function in the future, but I wasn't sure how far out it was. The thing that worries me is that it may not appear until a release where…

Thanks Elizabeth... :) The case # is 92754.

OK, I misinterpreted the notation in the release notes. I took "disabled by default" to mean that it was disabled, but still available for use if the need arises; not that it was completely unusable. We actually downgraded the SW TFTP server we had running on our NPM server to an earlier release that supported…

OK, I've played around with this a little, and here's what I came up with... First, like I said, there are a lot of variables involved, but below is a simple (well, kinda) example of how to create a custom SQL report in Report Writer that links info from the Nodes table with the corresponding custom mib poller data. This…

OK... I take it back then... :)

vhcato, can you forward me your case number? With respect to removing BETA2, see the beta forum. We've found the issue and have provided a workaround. Yeap... 32581

I had a case open for this, but we never did find the root cause. :(

Well now, isn't that spiffy... I don't know much about these new fangled group thingies they've put in here. We're still running 9.1 SP5 and working towards upgrading, so I'm poking around in 10.3 on our dev box to re-code our custom web resources to be ASP.net friendly. Been somewhat out of the loop on new features and…

 We have had problems running the toolset on the box though as the launcher just crashes on startup. Thanks for the feedback. Also, I don't believe the Toolset is yet supported on x64. :(

I installed 8.1 today on 2003 x64 dual core sun x4100. The install went pretty smooth, with the exception of the SQL. I needed to install the 64 bit application. I am currently monitoring 93 nodes and 849 interfaces. No issues at this point, and it seems to be running fast, at least faster than the old crappy dell server.…

It sounds like you want to suppress the alert if the router is down, so this should also be included in the alert configuration as well; either as an actual suppression, or as part of the trigger condition itself.

NG, I checked on my 8.5.1 Orion host server and one of my polling engines and I don't see that reg key on either of them. I think the idea of co-locating all your Orion server components is probably a good idea.
