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.
Bo
can you post the link?
http://www.solarwinds.com/support/Orion/docs/ReleaseNotes/releaseNotes.htm ;
I'm not sure that it had all the upcoming features listed- maybe its being edited at this time???
this link works for me
looks like that link is only for 8.5.1 notes not 9.0
denny.lecompte:We have added the ability to add, delete, and modify nodes from the web console.
Does this provide a common maintenance interface for all the add-on modules (VoIP, APM, Wireless, NTA) as well?
denny.lecompte: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.
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.

The Beta for 9.0 has been open for a few weeks. Please feel free to join: [link removed b/c the beta is closed]
Would love too, but the above link does not work.
Thanks David.
try now-
We updated some icons in Map Maker, but no big changes otherwise. We are, however, planning to focus on Map Maker in the subsequent release.
Sorry the link still does not work.
Any update on whether or not AD authentication will be integrated into version 9? I have been promised that this would be in the new version and I know that nearly every user of Orion would need this as well. Local accounts are a thing of the past and the IIS passthru integration with AD is not good since it can only do the Everyone group (at this time) which doesn't work for most organizations.

AD authentication is not part of v9. It is planned for a future version, however.
I'm very curious about the new version of Orion, although I've so many projectes at the moment I can't join the beta program :-(
I'd like to know some thing about features like.
- notice route or hop conts changes
- user management: ACL for node management
- dependencies between nodes
- diasable alert resending on reboot
- add Volumes & Applications to Maps
- TCP Port Test without APM?
