  • I am glad I stumbled onto your info @"HerrDoktor" I am uninstalling my agent now ... deployment health issues ... ugh ... and ... I don't need the agent! Great advice!
  • Thanks! Found some useful info and in got me thinking ... and man .. am I having a good time with the new format! 
  • Good deal! My brother Steve, the hardest to learn is patience. I was getting ready to respond to tell you to walk away for a little while. So glad to hear the everything worked out! Good job!
  • What do you get when you cross a Network Admin and a System Admin I P to V... I am still laughing here!!!
  • Sorry about that ... I don't know where I really fit... I call myself a Network Admin ... but I just built this beautiful Data Center w/ VM Ware ... I am wearing all the hats... I try to get the lingo correct!!!! Made you laugh today! Thanks for your advice. With everyone's help ... I am really loving my job!!! Loving…
  • I would open a tech support case then. If you have specific examples to show them - they can drill thru the database for specifics and attempt to find where the lines cross. Tech support is phenomenal - if you can present the info, I am most certain that they can reverse engineer and help you find the root of your problem.
  • I need to back off just a little .. cumbersome .. in my terms of .. it took me more than 15 minutest to figure out that I needed to upgrade .. I had to use the documentation ... oh no....!! I absolutely love the new features now that I have had a couple of days to play!! I think I was just a little frustrated when I was…
  • Echo comments above ... I ran into a similar situation ... and was able to combat it when I P to V'ed the Orion Server and Separate SQL server. My experience was on the other end though .. the Orion Server... I added 2 more cores and RAM... I have absolutely everything running under the same Orion Server - I will be adding…
  • I have an idea ... but I suck at SQL. So ... the best I can do ... is point you in the right direction, my basic attempt this morning did not produce any results, nor did I consult with a DBA.... so...with that being said... Where you have Availability of Each Node, click on Edit - you can create / apply a SQL query to…
  • So ... go to the Orion Home Page - at the top tight hand corner, you will see Settings and Help - Click on Settings - go to Details - License details : License Details -License Details of the "Main Orion Server Details" will be presented - this will show you what version and the specific details for each component: If you…
  • Wow ... had it wrong CE - Continuing Education ....... brain to keyboard issue! Believe it or not .. I read my comment twice before I saw the error!!! WOW... am I in IT? Details Details!!! Thank goodness SW has my back!
  • How were the hosts added initially? I had a similar situation; I have both Hyper V and VM Ware - both are pulling fine. Add the ESX hosts via Sonar Discovery- and Solarwinds will populate the rest of the statistics (clients/servers). I would consider deleting / adding again - your statistics are not correct, so you don't…
  • So ... Data Center to Core Switch - 10 G back-plane- error free- tight config (really proud of the Network - Solar Winds tells me so) ..... so back to the SQL server... looking at the stats I sent you .. would you add additional resources to the SQL server? I noticed right away when I brought up the Orion Application…
  • Make that a THWACK Xwing and THWACK Millennium Falcon!!! Oh Yeah... I am in!!!! Good suggestion for the survey at the end of the mission!!!! I would pay 200,000 points for one!!! Would YOU!
  • If it ain't broke...don't fix it!
  • OMG - I had to upgrade.. I also want to share the first map …. utilization .. unbelievable what you can do now … a little cumbersome though … very cool... I got the above map in Orion... working to get this one to display in the NOC: my real world:
  • Another thing to check is IE cache - link below - https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ie/2010/07/14/caching-improvements-in-internet-explorer-9/
  • On your summary / Home page - at the top right hand corner (down just a bit down) - click on Customize page: You can select the number of columns, the width, and what to display in the columns - as you can see below - I have All Nodes - then All Groups Small snip of the Nodes/ Groups (of Nodes)
  • You know,,, it is harder than I thought... pushing the "interfaces" over the limit... I don't have enough nodes to do this. Have you called support? I wish I could replicate your problem here in my house... then I could definitely dig into what is happening... I am a reverse engineering freak of nature ... I have to put my…
  • As soon as you hit the threshold - you will be notified .. if you are running a trial .. I believe you have unlimited nodes you can add... so yes, you will not see any type of notification until you hit "a" threshold. Again .. .personal experience.
  • Do you have logging enabled on that switch? Does the log present anything? It passes authentication, then it fails authentication.... it is starting to sound like a "buggy" switch or software... you may want to upgrade / downgrade the IOS software. You should not be struggling with this configuration!!! I am amazed ...…
  • That is correct, I was making reference to the steps in the article, perhaps I should have cut out the info not required. The above was cut from the article in full. I believe that the the last step that user is attempting to accomplish is for the user to point this device to the Orion Server. snmp-server host host-addr…
  • Love mine too!!! I ran to 10K and grabbed it!!! I feel special that I made it before the points hike!!! I am on a mission for the messenger bag now!!! My office is getting cluttered with SW Swag ... I have received a lot of cool things just by providing feedback or screen shots! My boss now knows the term SolarWinds .....…
  • Yeah ... that sounds a little severe ... I am still in good standing with my husband and dog (son has already left the house!!)... and my job recently noticed my Thwack Backpack ... had some comments ... they have no clue what THWACK is ... a lot of SWAG has been surfacing at the office ... I may be in trouble when they…
  • The value means a lot. Effort=Points= FREE Swag! Effort =folks keep coming back. Beautiful marketing - I understand you are trying to find a good balance! I don't think it is broken!
  • Welll ... don't I feel the fool..NOT .. you all got me upgrading ... I want to redeem myself. I just upgraded last month .. had no idea that I was behind on the Platform ...
  • NICE - did not go there ... you opened my bring to something new today ... had not even thought about tracking the ACL hits, Good JOB!.
  • OH MAN - when I ran the command on the domain controller, it did add my new monitoring account, but removed it shortly thereafter.... I will post what works on the domain controllers, when it actually works right and makes it beyond the second polling! I do apologize for the bad post!! Keep tuned for the actual fix for…
