Alert Database

Does anyone know where alert configs are stored? After i moved the service over to a new server, none of my alert configs were there, and i would rather not reconfig them manually...

The Alerts are stored in the SQL Database. The Alerts are still assigned to the old Polling Engine. You will need to reassign the correct EngineID to these Alerts. To do this, first stop the SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor Service, then perform the following steps:

1. Close the System Manager.
2. Open the Database Manager, and add your SQL Server to the list if is not already listed here.
3. Drill into the server.
4. Drill into the database (most likely named NetPerfMon) to display all of the tables.
5. Right click on the Engines table and select Query Table.
6. Click the refresh button in the newly displayed window.
7. Make note of the EngineID of the current Orion server.
8. Right-click on the Alerts table and select Query Table.
9. Click the refresh button in the new window.
10. At the top of this window, change the selection to Read-Write.
11. Change the EngineID of all the alerts to the new EngineID (you do not need to change any alerts with an EngineID of 0 because those are specifically for Broadband Orion).
12. After you have made these changes, close the Database Manager, and restart the SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor service.
