I really liked this piece by my SolarWinds associate Craig McDonald on how the right monitoring system is critical to providing a better end-user experience. Technology and end users have an almost dichotomous relationship; as technology gets more complex, end users expect a more seamless experience. At the same time, end…
Not sure if this is possible, but right now I have Node Alarms on the summary dashboard with Filter Nodes (SQL), filled in to only show the nodes I want. Works great, Dashboard is extremely useful and I'm watching it most of the day. Soon we are going to a fully redundant network. In theory, Node Alarms won't exist because…
Striking a balance between good visibility into infrastructure events and too much noise is difficult. I’ve worked in plenty of enterprise environments where multiple tools are deployed (often covering the same infrastructure elements) to monitor for critical infrastructure events. They are frequently deployed with minimal…
I have two servers that have limited drive space that can't be expanded that usually sit between 82% and 85% full. I have an alert configured for all of my nodes that if the drive space goes over 80% send out an alert. The issue I am having is that these servers will never reach below 80% so I manually went to each of them…
My company has been using SolarWinds for years but we've only ever concentrated on the generation of alerts, and the occasional one-off report to troubleshoot an issue. I've been asked to start building out dashboards simple enough for even an executive to understand. To that end, I'm trying to build views that focus on…
All, The company I work for uses Solar Winds to monitor all of our Servers. For our database servers, we continuously get alerts based on various components that go into a "warning" state, but then soon after are fine. I have tried changing the time it takes for an alert to happen, which did not work. Ultimately, I would…
I'm trying to filter out alerts we don't need to see. Stuff like "alert me when someone shuts down an interface". Is there a way to filter out the stuff you don't want to see, so that my team only focuses on the relevant alerts? I know we can manipulate the drop down box, but i'm talking about filtering these out…
Now that we have alert groups that contain instances, we should be able to filter by that on the Alert Status page as well. From Ben Alvey
