Hi,
Solarwinds generating system reboot alerts every day at same time. When we check system uptime, it showing more than 50 days as uptime.
Thanks
I need a little more information before I comment.
I recently had a SINGLE node that started reporting a down status / up status - and there was absolutely nothing going on with the interfaces. I ended up removing the device and adding the device back into Solarwinds. This was a network device... a CORE switch.
Can you describe your issue with a little more detail? How many devices? Same Vendor Model? Are you referring to SAM or NPM? Have you checked the event logs on the Solarwinds Server? What about the database...??? Is the database set to perform any maintenance routines at that same time?
When you check system uptime how are you checking it, within solarwinds or by logging into the device?
There are known issues with several types of devices where they report their "uptime" through indirect measures such as how long the snmp service has been running, also the snmp uptime counter rolls over after about 2 years and can cause false positive reboot alerts then as well.
To be honest I do not trigger emails on system reboots in most cases because there are so many gotchas to that information. Right off the bat, if I got the reboot alert it means the node already came back up, so 99% of the time there's nothing I could/would do about it at that point. I might run a report on the node reboot events in the Orion event log if I think I need to look back at a past incident. If the node stays down more than a couple minutes then it will trigger a node down alert anyway. This scenario where there are reboots so fast I don't pick it up AND nobody did it on purpose is so incredibly rare in most places I've been that I consider any email about a reboot event to be noise.
