There have been a few occasions where some MPLS interfaces were experiencing high utilisation and the network team was asking me to provide more stats during the peak period. The default interval of 9 minutes was not working for them but we didn't want to change for all interfaces in question down to 1 minute as this would…
Hello! I've been running into a problem lately with some of the alerts I am creating. For the most part the tickets are created just fine, and have all the information, but I have a few alerts that create a ticket without a request detail. This causes some glitchiness that we have to work around; we can't save the ticket…
Hello, I am adding a bunch of Windows servers to monitoring in Orion on SolarWinds. My question is, which is a better and more "robust" polling method? SNMP or WMI?
I'm in the process of testing PagerDuty's integration with Solarwinds. We want to push some custom properties through the API calls to assist in PagerDuty call routing, on-call staffing and special call out features that we currently have in our alarming.

Hi, I'm curious how I can specify a relative date range in alert criteria. For example, [Last Boot] > Yesterday. The scenario is that I'm setting up an alert for a class of high-powered machines that is only on occasionally.

Running NPM 12.2. I was wondering is there a way to send an alert when a new Polling engine is added to the environment? I would like a group to receive an email when an additional polling engine is added. -Jai
Hi all I've got a weird problem with NPM/SAM alerts, I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. . . Background: We have an alert set to fire a "down" email when a component of a SAM application is down (If node isn't down): And fire an "Up" email when this trigger condition is no longer true: The Problem:…
When our F5 fails over, the out of the box alerts for "F5 Alert me when virtual server is not up", "F5 Alert me when server is not up" and "F5 Alert me when virtual IP address is not Up" flood us. This is what I think would fix this for us: * Delay the "F5 Alert me when virtual server is not up" until the "F5 Failover…
