Yes, this is correct. I forgot to update this post, sorry about that. Thanks again for your assistance fixing this issue.

Unfortunately, still not working. The issue has been passed to the engineers and we are working at getting it resolved. I will be sure to post the result when I get it fixed.

I am having a similar issue but in my case, I have over 400 nodes with 2 entries. Not duplicates, but more than 1 IP address associated with a node, therefore 2 entries in the database. That means more polling of CPU/Memory, HDD...etc (which I have to cleanup manually). It would be nice if there was a way of managing this.…

This particular VM is thin provisioned. I've heard that this could be an issue with how Orion originally discovered the node and if the node moves to another host, with different CPU characteristics, that could report back a different CPU usage. Where is the piece of information Orion has about the CPU in a particular…

Ive fixed them for now, Ill open a support ticket when/if it happens again.

I am working with Jason (SW Support) right now and we are trying to diagnose possible problems with my APM install, the website is not allowing me to edit components or templates. Every other component of the Orion installation is running perfectly. <My Error Message> Orion Website Error The Orion website is currently…

@ netlogix You my friend, get a gold star (or as in the case of this forum, a green star). Thank you very much for that little tidbit of information, worked perfectly. Zach

Correct. Good Job, that does explain why I cannot see the custom pollers selection. Thanks for your help. Zach

Nice find Roger. I had a look thru the thread and seems reasonable enough. I think my environment is a bit more granular than the environment posted by jeremiah. Using the rights supplied in his thread, I was able to get *some* WMI, which means I was doing it wrong, but now I have the unfortunate task of finding out the…

Thanks bshopp, I will check those out today. ** Update ** I checked my system and it turns out that those alerts were in the Alert Manager but not enabled... I dont know why they are not enabled by default. Thankyou very much for the quick response.

No, unfortunately what happened with this is the VM host ran out of resources, my Poller was axed and not re-provisioned. Another Orion installation happened at the other site, non issue. Sucks but thats the end of it. Sorry I cant be of further assistance. Zach

Sean, I know that you are answering the question but for absolute clarity, please let me know if I am understanding correctly. When I look at the Database, I see that I have: 6200 Network Elements. (1804 Nodes, 2007 Interfaces, 2389 Volumes) I have 9432 Pollers. I have yet to implement APM but will be doing so next week.…

You my friend... Gold Star :) Thanks very much, not only did you take the time to create a perfectly working query, you also inadvertently taught me a little more about how the Orion database is laid out. Thankyou very much.

Here is some information: Virtual Machine - Windows 2008 R2 Server Running on VMWare ESX 4.0 Average Cpu load on this sytem is around 60%. Dont know what else I can tell you...

Well, I opened a support ticket and Radu was very helpful in resolving the "polling dates in the past" issue. Here is what was accomplished. REPLACE JOB ENGINE 1. Stop all Orion services from Orion Service Manager. 2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\JobEngineV2\Data\JobEngine35.sdf…

Thanks for your insight byrona. I would like someone else to chime in with their .02 to clarify if you could. Zach

Its included with Orion... I thought. After getting my APM installed and working properly, I applied the "Orion Server" template to my 3 Orion servers... 

... really?

I found it but for those who don't know where this is: Navigate to the APM Summary page. On the right side near the top, there is a little icon which looks like a gear and beside it reads "APM Settings", click that. Under the first section "Getting Started with APM" the 3rd choice is the one. In there you will find…

Thanks for your input Nandish. I worked yesterday with a colleague of mine and we managed to generate a report based on the data retrieved by the UDP. The report is a custom SQL report which uses the following query. (Note, I'm no SQL expert, I do have a basic understanding of how Databases work and it took a bit of…

I have, the problem with it is the nested curly braces "}". Orion doesn't like them very much and I get a: MACRO SQL ERROR - Incorrect syntax near '26.6993'. Note, the drive is 26.6993% full so the result I am looking for should be 73.3007 100 - Volumes.VolumePercentUsed = 100 - 26.6993 = 73.3007 I have tried different…

I'm not really sure how this pertains to my suggestion for a typing search in the Test-Fire-Alert window... I see that's good for building custom alerts, but it still doesn't help me quickly select a specific node 1379 nodes down the list... Correct me if I'm wrong. Zach

YAY, Fixed :) The support guys at Solarwinds came thru and supplied a replacement DLL which resolved the issue. I am not sure exactly what the difference was but it appears to be how Orion talks to ESXi 4 hosts. The vmpoller was getting stuck because it was looking for information on the ESXi4 machine that was non-existing…

I am not receiving any e-mails, even though I can see the trap. I don't know whats going wrong with the trap condition, it appears to be correct, I have used the "Right-Click-Add-Rule" in the past and it has worked (but that was for discarding traps). Is there any way of actually watching what the system does when it…

Should I re-run discovery on a regular basis? Zach

I have created 10 new pollers in the Orion Universal Device Poller. I am using those custom pollers to get data and then push it to our Orion website. That part is working perfectly. (if thats what you are referring to) If there is something I need to do to define them as custom pollers in the Report Writer, then I have…

Thanks for the reply Jiri, I have tried using wbemtest to access the remote computer and that only works when I add the account to the local admins account. I dont think this is a problem with Orion, Its me, I'm doing it wrong. I dont yet know how to get a service account read only access to WMI without adding it to the…

netlogix - You are the winner :) Worked perfectly: SELECT dbo.CustomPollerStatus.Status, dbo.Nodes.Caption, dbo.Nodes.NodeID, DATEDIFF(Day, dbo.CustomPollerStatus.Status, GETDATE()) as Days FROM dbo.CustomPollerStatus INNER JOIN dbo.CustomPollerAssignment ON dbo.CustomPollerStatus.CustomPollerAssignmentID =…
