Guys,
when I receive a alerts of the CPU Load, the results is a negative Number For what ???
What sort of device is it?
The way the solarwinds devs have written things you can typically assume negative values represent some kind of internal status. In the case of CPU a "-2" means the device is not being polled for CPU. You should go to the devices where you see the negative value and try to list resources to see if the CPU poller is available and if it has been unchecked.
I've always found it helpful to write a report that shows current values of whatever I'm alerting on. Helps to validate why there was/ was not an alert as well as in general troubleshooting. You may not be interested in displaying the report to the end user, but it gives visibility into values the alert conditions are using.
Along the same lines, SNMPwalk results can sometimes be useful. If you can configure the monitored device to send traps at a threshold, it would be visibility from another direction. Even if the trap setup is temporary, it might help you understand if you are dealing with an alerting issue vs. an unexpected response to an SNMP poll.
anyone
