Managing the Orion Web Console
n
Help Server is the URL of the server where online help for SolarWinds products
is stored. The default location is http://www.solarwinds.com. If you are in an
Internet-restricted network environment but require access to online help,
download the entire online help, copy it to a web server, and then change the
Help Server URL to that of the web server. You can download the online help
from http://www.solarwinds.com/support/Orion/docs/OrionLocalHelp.zip.
n
Status Rollup Mode establishes the way the availability status of a collection of
nodes on the node tree or on a map is displayed in the web console.
There are two options for the case when there are nodes of differing statuses
in a selected group:
n
Mixed Status shows Warning, the default status, ensures the status of a
node group displays the worst warning-type state in the group. If none of
the group members have a warning-typed state but the group contains
both up and down nodes, a Mixed Availability warning state is displayed
for the whole group. For example, Critical + Down = Critical, Critical +
Warning = Critical, and Up + Down = Mixed Availability.
n
Show Worst Status ensures the worst state in a node group is displayed
for the whole group. For example, Up + Down = Down and
Unreachable + Shutdown = Shutdown.
n
Child Status Rollup Mode indicates how the status of any single node on the
node tree or on a map is displayed. You can show the status of the node and its
children, node status and interfaces, if you have SolarWinds NPM installed, or
just node ICMP status.
Select Show Worst Status to ensure that the worst status of the node group is
displayed for the whole group (e.g. red if any of the nodes are down). Select
Show Worst Status (Interfaces only) to ensure that the worst status of any of
the interfaces on a selected node is displayed. Select Show only ICMP Status to
only display up/down status for monitored interfaces.
n
Child Status Display Mode designates how the status of the children of any
single node on the node tree or on a map is displayed. You can show the status
of the node and any of its children with either a static of a blinking icon. By
default, the software uses a static icon to display the status of child objects.
