Not sure if you consider WHD as a standard SW product, but if you decide to use MySQL, it requires InnoDB. - but then again, I don't own WHD - just going by the documentation.

You can create your own custom html resource and add in the following: <a href="#" onclick="return SW.APM.OpenRealTimeProcessWindow(${NodeID});"> <img alt="" src="/Orion/APM/Images/ProcessMonitor/StopWatch.png"> Real-Time Process Explorer </a> This does not require you to have an application monitor associated with a…

Not quite sure what changed (other than rebooting the servers), but now my Syslogs are reversed, - showing the 1st XX messages instead of the Last XX messages. This is true on both the primary server and addtional web server in one instance. (The other primary server I have has not been rebooted and the syslogs are…

Problem resolved with 9.5 SP4.

Actually, wouldn't it make more sense for SW to automatically determine 64bit support and only ask the end user to intervene when the device counter support is undetermined? Otherwise, we would end up having to troubleshoot spurious issues. It would be great if this could be put in place. It would be one less thing for us…

Wow Q3 /Q4 of 2010 for a fix? I like Orion, but not having native support for Juniper devices has been one of my biggest complaints. (Granted, Juniper's support of MIB II is horrific.) Sure, I might only have a couple of hundred or so of these devices in my network, but they are by far one of the more crucial devices that…

I know Orion v10 is slated for the next couple of months. Will the multi-threaded NPM make its debut in v10? I run quad dual core servers for my pollers, but am hitting limits with NPM. It's very difficult for me to justify the purchase of additional servers when I have so much overhead left on the current servers. - v

Appreciate your concern. Have had a case open sine June 6th. Thanks, - v

Hi Byrona, It's definitely best to configure your devices for source interfaces, but in the event you can't - just add ICMP Only or External Nodes with the IP address in question. Not the best solution. - but I've done it with externally managed devices that might use HSRP or VRRP. - v

It will, as long as it is for Windows and it is a fixed disk. This will not work for linux mounts or Windows Volumes mounted as a folder. Just remember to add that logic to your alert trigger. -v

I think you'll have to do what I'm doing. Move all your syslogs to Splunk. I don't know about you, but support from SW isn't what it used to be....

Hi Roger, I really do appreciate your feedback. It's just a shame that we can't actually develop our own probes, as the Tomcat probe does exactly what I'm looking for. (Readying stats from an XML URL). Aside from adding my own key pairs, I would add a proxy section for the Tomcat Server components a la HTTP component…

Here are your options for monitoring DHCPSRVLOG - 1.) Use SNARE - Epilog, this product converts any text based log into syslog and it is free. (I have had problems with Epilog, so it does not come recommended.) Point Epilog at your Solarwinds Syslog Server. Create Syslog Alerts. 2.) Use Splunk. Splunk comes in 2 flavors,…

In the device / node view you have assigned to your client, add "Edit Custom Node Property" from Miscellaneous - Miscellaneous Resources. Once added, go back to the device / node view and Edit and assign the specify the custom property field you want them to have access to. Repeat for each Custom Property you wish for them…

Hi Yann, You may want to try SNARE. It's open source (free) and has some additional capabilities that are very useful. -v

Hello Michal, I appreciate your apology, but it does nothing to fix the situation. Frankly, my expectation is for SW to acknowledge that there are several issues and offer us workarounds and assurances. Look, we like all the new features and progress that the development team has made as a whole. We aren't asking you to…

I appreciate your input, but 1 - the old win32 CPE functions a magnitude better than the web version, there is NO argument there. 2 - If you are going to debilitate CPE, make sure the database manger is just as good if not better than the previous version. - The new version is worthless and at this point, it's practically…

Cleaning up the CustomPollerAssignment table of orphaned records (simple left join with the nodes table...to locate the orphans) fixed my UNDP Console problem. -v

There are several different ways to do this, the simplest being "SQLSERVER,PORT". When configuring Orion SQL connection put in YourServerName,1433 or YourServerName,XXXX where YourServerName is the name of your server and XXXX being the port you want to use. You can also use "cliconfg" to create an Alias. Really depends on…

Couple of suggestions - Check your browser's cache settings From Web Console - select Admin, click on 'clear web cache' If this does not help, delete one of the devices through the 'Orion System Manager' on the server itself. If this works, then you may need to re-run configuration wizard and reinstall the website. If this…

Forgot to mention a caveat: UNDP Table based alerts stop at the first match, so you can either opt to receive the entire table or the 1st matching row. I know SW is looking at an enhancement which will fix this in a future release.

Hi Jeff, If monitoring is your life, you might want to consider lugging a bigger laptop. I personally recommend a MacBook Pro 17". Apple's Safari (web browser) has a feature where you can zoom in and out of web pages, so large Dashboards can be shrunk to fit the 17" display. (Not to mention the SPACES feature, which is…

Thanks for confirming. I too lost this capability with SP1. Hopefully someone can give us a quick fix. 

Sorry forgot to add the '$' ${SQL: Select '\\' + n.caption + '\' + (select substring(v.caption,1,1)) + '$' from Volumes v join nodes n on v.nodeid=n.nodeid where v.volumeid=${VolumeID}} -v

Hi Chris, Does NCM support concurrent RDP sessions? In other words, can I activate Terminal Services in Application Server Mode (vs Remote Administration Mode) and allow several of my colleagues in the NOC to access the NCM console? (Actually, we would prefer to use Citrix...) - I see a couple of threads, where this has…

This too is a common problem for me, but instead of IIS, majority of the times it is WMI. Process Explorer is definitely a must have util on your servers.

Long story short, I have resolved the Orion Website Identity problem. (As circumstances would have it, an Admin on the other side of the world messed up DNS right about the same time I did the upgrade.) As for the UNDP console problem - 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object', I'm positive that this is a…

I usually have a couple of alerts. In SW, monitor the 'Unknown' attribute over a specific period of time. When SNMP polling is not working you'll get a value of '-2' in CPULoad, TotalMemory, MemoryUsed, PercentMemoryUsed. (Same thing for Volumes / Interfaces - but I usually do a separate alert for volumes / Interfaces…

Hi Roger, Thanks for the response, but I'm not quite sure how the Apache Template from 2.0 is relevant. It runs a perl script locally on the Apache Server and does an SNMP get for the Apache MIB. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong one? I looked at the Tomcat one, which looked very promising, but it has a custom probe…

I have added the UNDPs, Alert Definition and Report to Content Exchange. See: Enjoy - - v
