Orion keeps having issues communicating with the SQL database. My server guys keep telling me Orion is overtaxing the DB server that is shared with several other mission critical databases. My thought was to take them out of the loop and just get myself a dedicated SQL server for Orion. If I went that route, what kind of specs would I need to run efficiently?
The other option is to make Orion stop overtaxing the current server. I had been running everything with default polling. I have 267 nodes, polling 2597 interfaces. I made the mistake in the beginning of selecting all up interfaces for polling. Ive been going through and removing interfaces that don't need to be polled, and setting the polling time to 120 seconds in an attempt to reduce stress on the SQL server. Am I going overboard with what I have now and expecting a typical shared SQL server to be able to handle it, or am I doing something wrong that is killing the server?
Any comment would be appreciated.
Hi All,
I'm trying to produce a report based on node down alerts over a 7 day period but to ignore alerts generated over night, say between 10pm and 5am.
Any ideas? I've tried to use the web report writer and the reporter builder both clients seem to need a date specified before I can specify a time.
Thanks

I have configured a couple of wireless heat maps.
My issue is that when I run the map I get the following error:
Automatic re-generation from 12/1/2015 11:15:59 AM was not successful. Try to generate in the Network Atlas manually and updated map will be visible here.
Last error message: 'There is no available engine to process the WirelessHeatMap generation.'
I am new to Solarwinds and have no idea what I am looking for.
Can someone send me in the right direction?
Thanks
How many concurrent users does SolarWinds NPM v10.6 have?
We just installed a bunch of UCS Mini's and adding them into solarwinds neither of the two CISCO health mibs pull back any data, leaving their hardware health in 'Unknown' state.
The two MIBs are CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB and CISCO-ENVMON-MIB
Any one else have this issue?
Hello Thwack!
We are in the planning stages of running a test case of our production workload in our brand new NSX environment and want to compare metrics from that test in vSphere 6 to current performance markers within our older vSphere environment. I am trying to rationalize and obtain data from SRM/NPM/QOE/NTA to get metrics such as server-to-server bw/latency stats, server-to-internet bw/latency stats, disk io rates from our storage system, overall cpu/memory usage, session creation/destruction rates, etc etc etc. I am used to viewing this sort of data on a per-VM or per-host or per-volume basis, but I am unfamiliar with how to export that data in general and aggregate it in useful ways that I can present to my peers. Is there any white papers, Solarwinds provided guidelines, threads on thwack, or any links for best practices or guides in how to do this? This would be the first time I get to use this Solarwinds environment to validate a large project we are working on and I am excited with the data I have - it's just a matter of exporting/showing it.
A combination of both

What are the things you WISH you could do for your network? No holds barred, no budget restrictions, but outside of that it would be fun to see your practical ideas to make life better for you & your peers and your clients. Some things I'd wish for:

Follow the step to insert swql to send an email -> message -> insert variable -> Define SQL Variable (Advanced) then add swql query. But it is never working. anyone have an idea how to make it work from simple swql then go to make a little bit complicated ones. thank you.
When adding new nodes to NPM, do you use Network Sonar or you add your nodes directly?
With the end of Microsoft's extended support for SQL 2005 rapidly approaching (Microsoft Product Lifecycle Search) we are investigating the possibility of announcing a future end-of-support for SQL 2005 for the Orion platform. We know the percentage of customers running 2005 dwindles daily, but wanted to pose the question to the community- anyone out there running 2005 that would have trouble migrating to a (slightly) more modern SQL version?

There has been over 1 million of Cisco ASAs built and deployed around the world in a past years (good job Cisco!). As not supporting SNMP protocol properly, they often complicate our lives when configured to be Default gateways, not allowing products like SolarWinds User Device Tracker to monitor what's behind. Do you use your ASAs as a Default gateways too? If so, what percentage of your network they route?
Are you comfortable with deploying virtual appliances?
We're discussing ways to deploy new products that may interact with your NPM (and other SolarWinds) deployments and one of our options is a virtual appliance.
What percentage of all your switch ports approximately comes from stacked and standalone switches?
What version of BIG-IP your F5s run?
Installed our first cisco c3650's and getting that error above which coincides with 2 of the "trunk" (uplink) ports on the switch.
Has anyone run into this ? have a fix ?
Hi
I have recently done a network scan with NTM (it is AWESOME, buy it!) to enable me to map out the network.
Having done all this, created the maps and transferred and tidied within Network Atlas I now have a NOC with 5 tabs showing various parts of our network.
The problem is, it cycles round the tabs 2 or 3 times then sticks unable to load the resource. I have clicked to show a cached version of the map whilst it loads but to no avail.
As it stands I am having to remain connected to the PC streaming the NOC to refresh the browser each time it hangs.
Any ideas?
