One of the guys in my department came up with this idea and I thought it was worth submitting... Today we have an option on the Active Alerts List webpage to "CLEAR TRIGGERED INSTANCE OF ALERT". When used, it simply removes the Alert from the All Active Alerts list and as soon as the Alert Definition realizes the situation…
Hi All, I have just created several pollers on SolarWinds using the Web interface. I have assigned them to the test DataPower unit and checked that they read the MiB correctly with success. After getting the correct results I wanted to create Alerts depends on the values that I am getting from the SNMP response on the…
Hi, I'm trying to work out if there is a way to have an alert that will only trigger once any 4 nodes in a specific group go down. We monitor a network with 1000+ end sites and have them grouped by location. During working hours we get alerted if a single site goes down. But Out of Hours we only want to be alerted if 4 or…
The Orion.AuditingEvents entity includes two properties that identify the Solarwinds object that was affected by the event: NetObjectID and NetObjectType. It's often useful to create alert definitions that are triggered by Auditing Events. When selecting criteria for one of these alerts, AuditingEvents.NetObjectID and…
Attached is the alert we use for Red Chassis Alarms -- the KB reference on the alert goes to our network operations run-book that has the checklist for this type of alert. Run Books are good reminders of common errors that strike and the steps staff might consider to solve them
I'd like to see if SolarWinds could make it easier to create alerts. Follow with me here... Today I needed to create an alert based on a specific port on a firewall to monitor for up/down. It would be so nice if I could drill down to that specific port, and then have a button there that says, "Create Alert". Instead, I had…
Six years ago, when I first joined this community, the Orion product was using the term "Alerts" to describe the rule sets that would cause an Alert to trigger. In many places that is still the case today. The same term would also represent the associated triggers caused by those Alerts. To me that was confusing and so I…
Please allow conditions like A > 3xB in Alert's "Trigger Condition". Use case: I'd like to set up alert if data for given object are older than two poll intervals, to reduce alert noise while keep informed if there is a problem with data collecting. For different objects there can be different data collecting intervals,…
Our organization uses various custom properties to help define alerts based on criticality and environments. In the past few years we have identified all production servers by Tier 0 through 4, where 0 is critical infrastructure 1-2 are business critical, and 3-4 are meh. We also further sort based on environment, we have…
We are moving our Solarwinds Orion and SQL servers to more robust servers to handle them and need to figure out who is receiving email alerts out of Solarwinds. If I run the query for Alert Configurations it will list all of the alerts enabled or not - is there someway to only have this report the enabled alerts so I can…
