Alert Manager - Change Default Gateway of device

jeffprandall

I would like to change the default gateway of my Solarwinds NPM Server if the default gateway is no longer reachable.  My primary is 10.0.0.1 and my backup is 10.0.0.5. 

Here is what I have done so far that has not been successful.

• Created a dedicated Local SW account that is a member of the Local Admin Group
• The SolarWinds Alerting Engine is running under that account

• Created a new Alert with the Trigger Action > Execute Program Action
• NETSH ROUTE
  • C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 10.0.0.71 255.255.252.0 10.0.0.5

• POWERSHELL ROUTE - created a file with this script
  • Powershell -file ChangeGateway.ps1 -Force
  • Remove-NetRoute -InterfaceIndex 12 -NextHop "10.0.0.1"
  • New-NetRoute -InterfaceIndex 12 -NextHop "10.0.0.5" -DestinationPrefix "0.0.0.0/0"

If you save the contents below in a batch file

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 10.0.0.71 255.255.252.0 10.0.0.5

does it work fine when you run it from command line when you are logged in as the local SW account?

If yes, you should be able to simply browse and select the batch file for this action.
