Yes, all of this is possible with Orion.

The type of data that you are looking for can be found using SNMP. You will need to use the UnDP (Universal Device Poller) to create a poller for the specific thing that you want to monitor (e.g. power supply status). Once you have the poller created you will assign it to a box and then create an Advanced Alert for it.

Start HERE with the UnDP.

Also, you may check the Content Exchange for pollers that folks may have already written for some of this stuff.

Hope this helps and let us know if you have further questions!

In case you are wondering what information is available on your systems, the SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset is very helpful. There is a tool called the MIB Walk and what this will do is scan one of your devices and report back all of the different data-points that you can access on that system via SNMP.

Thank you all.

Did you ever get this working and monitoring for a failed disk in an array? We had a drive fail in a server and our server guy said the OS (Windows Server 2003) wasn't aware of the drives that made up a RAID array so we wouldn't have seen it in Orion via an SNMP Trap or an alert.

Thanks!

I have a UnDP watching the memory and another watchng the disk array on some servers. Now I need to show the status of all the members of the disk array in an email message from an Advanced Alert, but not having much luck. It only shows the first disk status. Here's the message body;

The state of one of the disk drives on server ${NodeName} has changed.
Drive - ${CustomPollerStatus.RowID}
Current Status - ${CustomPollerStatus.Status as Status}

How do I get it to display all the drives of the array and their status?

Thanks!
