When Setting up ports to be monitored in Orion / Alerts / Basic Alerts. I wish we could select multiple Ports off a switch. It's a very time consuming task to select all ports ONE AT A TIME from four different branch locations so they can be monitored under a specific monitoring scheme. Just a thought...

Here's the thing. I have some people within the company that think it's perfectly alright to come to work and download massive quantities of "stuff" over the internet. Yes I could block every non-company oriented protocol known to man on my firewall but I'm looking for something...

Normally if a switch interface is not being used I set it to "admin down" status. But with the desktop environments you can't do this. This creates a constant flux of up and down alerts. I wouldn't normally monitor desktop ports but I need to know of "john smith" is sucking...

Using a custom MIB pollercalled ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue(2) Status I have set up a view in Orion to monitor the current temperature values of my core Cisco equipment. Under current status Is see numbers ranging from 1 to 37. Obviously the higher number is a greater temperature but how do I convert...

I have a Firepass SSL VPN device that allows remote users to login and access our network via Active Directory Credentials. I currently have only 100 users licensed in this box. Has anyone out there ever set up a trigger to alert management when concurrent users reaches ay 90%. I 've had a couple...

Everything has been running along smoothly until last night when my exchange server died at 12:02 a.m. Notifications did not reach the on call blackberries because all alerts are sent out via email (exchange) I know Orion can support a different means of notification but it appears to need a piece of...

Guys, We are getting ready to implement multiple IBM filers and Dell blade centers here at our DC. The network connectivity is complex but I can get that pulled into Orion without to much trouble. My concern is this: There's been a lot of talk about pulling in a new monitoring solution just for the...

Has anyone done this? I only have 100 License on this box and need to be notified (preferably NOT by the clients) when we are utilizing 95 our of 100 concurrent licenses. I've performed several MIB walks but I have to admit that I truly stink at doing this. I've submitted the MIBs for this piece...

I have set up a custom MIB poller in Orion to check the temperature of a select set of switches in our network. The results vary from 1 thru 36 on the temperature reading. I was just wondering. I assume this value is in Celsius. (I'm actually almost positive it is) So what does a 0 value or no value...

Is it possible to configured alerts to be resent if unacknowledged? In essence an alert that notifies us a server is down comes at 3:30 am and no one catches it until the next morning. Only one alert would have been sent and we’d have to explain why we didn’t respond to the alert. With so many alerts...
