Moving Nodes to Correct Polling Engine & (Removing OLD Engine Entry with previous IP Address)

Why have 2 Primary Polling Engine Entery in Orion ?

This will be the case where you have incorrect Dual (OLD ) Primary Engine Entry

Which can be seen in Orion and Nodes assigned to Old Engine Entry in Database . (Engines Table )


This could be due to Multiple Reason :-

1. You have changed the Hostname of Orion Server .

2. Migrated Orion to another server with New Hostname or IP

3. Changed IP address of Orion

4. Fresh installed on a new Orion server using Old Database with new IP Address assigned to Orion server


You can see the Entry as following where all nodes still associated to OLD Engine 

Settings > Polling Engines.

  • Great post, Thanks.

    One caveat to be aware of if you have multiple polling engines. when doing the update Nodes set EngineID = '2' where EngineID ='1' change.

    Make sure that there's a non-confilcting sequence. don't change all the ID=1 to 2 and then expect the original ID=2 to still be selectable.

    For example. You could change 2 to 3, change 1 to 2, then finally change 3 to 1.

    Thanks again,
