We too are seeing the same thing on a new instance of 9.1 SP5. We've never seen this in previous releases, but it's quite obvious now. :(

Yes, netflow data can definitely put a hurt'n on a disk array, as well as CPU's. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with with the requirements of NTA, as we use a different product for our netflow needs, but depending on your data retention requirements, flow rates, and the number of interfaces/devices from which you're…

I'm certainly no SQL expert, but I believe it will consume a greater amount of memory than that of the actual data footprint (caching actual queries and such). With that said, over time, even a 4GB db might consume all the memory to which it's allocated. Whether or not you would see any noticeable improvement on…

If you're interested in coding something to take advantage of the Cisco AXL SOAP interface, go to the following link and select "CallManager - AXL SOAP API" from the "Unified Communications and Location Technology" drop-down. I haven't gotten into it yet, as we're just now moving to v8.x of Orion, but we will be looking…

Just an FYI... You don't actually have to click on each individual element to turn monitoring on/off. If they are contiguous, you can select the one at the top, hold down the "shift" key, select the last one in the group, and then click on "Select Marked". Also, you can click on the first one, hold your mouse button down,…

Haley, I just want to clarify something. We can use AD to login to the Cirrus app itself; got that. When you use option 2 for accessing devices that are currently using an authentication server, it uses the device login creds assigned to the user via the "Manage Cirrus Users" GUI, and not the actual AD creds... Is that…

The only thing I can think of is to make absolutely certain that the text is entered identically in the custom property fields. If you have an extra space at the beginning or end, the "Node Lists - Custom Grouping and Filtering" resource will still render just like your attached snapshot (without the spaces being visible).

Just a warning to others... Applying SP3 and subsequently running the Config Wizard which runs automatically as part of the SP install WILL overwrite any of the web resources that come with the product and have been subsequently modified. This is what I expected, and I always have a backup copy of our customizations, so it…

If you do a "List Resources" in System Manager, is it able to get the list of resuorces? Also, do you have some other app you can use to try to talk to it via SNMP (Engineers Toolset maybe) so you can determine if it's just Orion that can't talk to it? We have some issues from time to time where a particular device will…

That's interesting. I've never had to prepend "OrionServerName\" to my local user accounts, and it's working for me..?

Chris, I haven't personally seen any issues with using local accounts with 8.5.1 SP1. We also use domain authentication for all of our users who have special privs, but we have other accounts used for general access by our various business units that are authenticated locally on the NPM server. The users authenticating…

Has anyone else run into this? Does anyone from SW have any thoughts? We are seriously considering moving to a clustered SQL solution for our Orion instance, and this issue partially negates the reason for having the cluster in the first place.

OK... Guess I'm the only one. :( Support said this is a Microsoft security thing, and that there's not really much they can do. Can't say I completely agree with that, but it looks like it probably won't go any further than that. If anyone else runs into this and finds the right security switch to throw (without blowing…

With the 3.5.1 release of Cirrus, you should be able to collect configurations via snmp. Have you given this a try?

One of the features in 8.5 is to automatically update discovery speeds. Unfortunately, in the upgrade, we wrote over custom speeds. We will fixed that upgrade problem in 8.5.1. Importantly, if you go back into your interfaces and set them manually, rediscovery will NOT overwrite them again. Our apologies for the extra work…

I would not, as there are some things that would share, SNMP Traps, Syslog etc... Not only that Cisco LMS is also a memory and cpu hog We have our running a another server. Good advice. CW is a pig.

I opened a case on this same issue the other day (along with the problem of extremely slow web response for the syslog and trap pages), but haven't heard anything yet. The folks at SW don't love me any more... :(

Torrie, The only thing I can think of for the differences in values you're seeing is to make sure you're not comparing "current" with "average", or something of that nature. I haven't seen the symptoms you describe in our environment. Can you perhaps zip up some screen shots of the inconsistencies you're seeing, attach…

Good point about making sure your URL is not forcing you to hit the login page. Without explicitly stating to hit the login page in the URL, you are not challenged for authentication if you are logged in with domain creds that match a locally configured Orion account. For users who do not have a local account on the Orion…

Denny, you're a genius... :)

Alrighty then... :) Case # 91815

Where able to configure this. I am trying to create a custom screen that has the percent transmit and percent recieved. Any thoughts or directions. I sure would like to some of the displays that you can use from the default drop downs. Can you be a little more specific about what you're trying to do? There are native…

Well, POO!!! It worked in 8.2.7, so I guess I'll downgrade. :( Thanks for the info.

Just curious... Were you using the same credentials to login to the server via TS as opposed to locally?

I've noticed a couple of instances where router interfaces would show up as "unknown" for no apparent reason since moving to 8.5.1 SP1. It hasn't happend enough to be a major concern, but I know something's not right somewhere. Hopefully, this will be addressed in a SP.

Syslog and SNMP Trap server is expected to make it into v5. This is an older post so I'm sure you've already seen this in the v5 BETA3 build. I saw the note about it in the Beta 3 docs, but unfortunaltely I can't remove Beta 2 or install Beta 3 because of an error concerning some files that are in use. I mentioned this on…

I can't figure out the null value in the SQL query. Just with my limited experience with the grouping function while testing on our dev box, I haven't seen this behavior. I did notice though that the system noted as being down in the GrouStatusRootCause of the first query above (LDNIPTRACKER) is not one of the actual…

Hmmm... Seems to be working for me with just a simple alert I set up on our dev box running 10.3. I would be curious to see what you find for the GroupStatusRootCause field in the database when running the following query: SELECT * FROM Containers_AlertsandReportsData WHERE GroupName = 'Wireless Access Points'

Yeah, adjusting things directly from Enterprise Manager or SQL Server Management Studio (for SQL 2005) is definitely the way to go, especially when you have a lot of custom properties.

BUMP... There seems to be a number of folks on the forum who are now running v8.1. Has anyone yet tried v8.1 with the 64-bit version of Win 2003? If so, would you please share your experiences? Thanks. :)
