Node name changes not reflected inOrion NPM!

patriot Dec 7, 2011 3:06 PM

I recently changed some node names in Manage Nodes on the website and I did not see the changes to the Caption field in the Nodes table.

Then, I made a RW change to a Caption in the Nodes table and still do not see a change on the website.

I tried a manual poll and a Rediscovery, but still no changes.

What gives?

  NPM doesn't auto update the Caption, there is a DNS name and system name fields, are those what you expect?

    All three of those fields in the Nodes table show the same value, but none are reflecting the changes I made in Manage Nodes on the website. Its as if the database and the web are not communicating.
    Any ideas?

      Let me see if I can track down the little query you can decide if you want to use at your own risk.

        Sorry, I'm drawing a blank how I got it to update. It was basically wiping out a table were names were built from the old name. Pretty sure it was updating node name, which was fine, but then had all the old node names in interface resources/graphs.

        Thanks pyro.
        So, we still have the question of just exactly what database field is supposedly updated when the name of a node is changed on the Orion website?

        Well, I'm an idiot! Something told me to check to make sure I was looking at the correct database in Database Manager.
        And I wasn't all this time!!
        I apologize for the false alarm.
        All is well.

    Update!
    I looked into this using NPM 10.1.3 and the Caption is autoupdated in the Nodes table as soon as the node name is changed on the Orion website.
    It just isn't working with version 10.2.
    SolarWinds? Is this a bug?
