The link to the new features in version 9 is not working anymore.  Any way to get it back?  I know that the Custom MIB poller was overhauled to allow custom tables (yeah!) but I was curious at to what other goodies are coming.

There are lots of smaller features, but the two main features are these:
  • We "retired" the Custom MIB Poller so that we could replace it with a completely new tool, the Universal Device Poller. The Universal Device Poller polls MIB Tables (or really columns, in tables). You can "Transform" data by converting single values (e.g., Celsius to Fahrenheit) or by combining data from multiple columns in a MIB table or different columns in different tables.
  • We have added the ability to add, delete, and modify nodes from the web console. The web console also allows you to assign custom properties to a node or interface, and assign existing universal device pollers to nodes.  You can now edit multiple nodes at once.

Does this provide a common maintenance interface for all the add-on modules (VoIP, APM, Wireless, NTA) as well?

Will this still require a study of OIDs to use?  Or, will SolarWiinds be granting the Orion user a simpler tool to acquire monitorable data?
Honestly, I don't find the current system "friendly".

 If by maintenance interval, you mean "unmanage", then yes, you can unmanage and re-manage via the web console.  The new custom poller is definitely easier, but you still have to know OIDs or MIBs.  I'm not crazy about that fact, but that's the nature of SNMP.

 This sounds great!  I know V9 is in beta now, any idea (ballpark) when it will ship?  I've got lots of projects coming up between now and the end of the year, and I'd like to include an Orion upgrade in them :-)

I to will be wanting to migrate o Ver 9 when released.

 It would be nice if Solarwinds would make more information available on there website about future releases of all there software.

No mater how hard I have looked over the years, how do you get copies of there BETA version to test and evaluate, this really would make my job eaiser to sell to mangement about keeping up with the times. I find doing the home work really does pay off.
