I hate to ask this question, but I have no choice. I need to understand how the Alerting Service on your primary poller works from cradle to grave. The reason why I am asking this question is because for no obvious reason, after a recent upgrade to 2023.2.1, ours just stops processing. We have an active case open, we are…
Hey their Thwacksters, Brainstorm with me if you will (thanks in advance!) I was thinking about alert flood protection, and in the event there's a major outage (say e.g. 1000 nodes go down) or something, perhaps a way to protect the alerting engine from sending out thousands of messages in that scenario. Currently there's…
Hello all, I'm trying to use PowerShell to connect to the API locally so it can do actions when issues are detected. I'm able to get things working when I pass my account info into the script that won't happen due to security issues with hard coded credentials. I've tried using -Trusted to pass the current user account…
Working on a custom alert I started wondering how the alerting engine handles reset logic. Typically I select "Reset this alert when trigger condition is no longer true (Recommended)" and move on but what happens under the hood here? The reason I ask is because I want to know how to handle the absence of an object in the…
Monitoring is the strongest point that SolarWinds has going for it. But flip that and look at the management side of the software and it leaves more to be desired from a highly respected and rated software. If the software is packaged as a suit of both strong monitoring and management tools it would not just be easier for…
Hi all, I'm very new at REST and HTTP Requests so I'm hoping this is a quick answer. We are trying to test an alert that will remange nodes automatically after a given time frame. We have the Trigger Conditions set, and we are looking to use the POST request to call SWIS to remanage the given node. Currently I have the URL…
In our IT department, various systems are managed by different groups. I'm in networks and are trying to figure out how to filter our all of the WPM alerts which are of little interest to us. On our dashboard we have a pane which shows "Last Events". The entire page is customised to show only events with the owner of…
Hello, I'm just looking for some information on alerting, I've configured an application monitor template which is applied over 8 servers. Four of these servers are DR, the services on them will not be online unless we fail over. However I would like to have these monitored so we know when they go online/offline, I just…
Hardware sensors for optics frequenlty enter critical state with values that are clearaly at the end of the bounds check (100W, .0000000001, -40.00 sBm) however, shutting down the interface does not appear to mute the hardware sensor (optics) for the interface in question. i want to know if there is a way to link up the…
