Dependencies should not have object type restrictions. All object types in SolarWinds (Nodes, Applications, Interfaces, Volumes, etc) should be able to be dependent on each other. Limitations in SolarWinds shouldn't prevent us from setting up inter-object relationships within alerting for our environment. My specific…
I would like to have nodes added to a group based upon their subnet range. Most of the devices we manage all exist in one big happy subnet. However in locations where we took a /24 and split it up into a /27 for a group of switches where their default gateway is a different router. The reasoning for this request is that I…
We have dependencies setup between our core switches and the IDF switches. This helps stem the amount of alerts when the core & IDF switches go down. However, when coming back up, we still get many alerts. The IDF switches come online much faster than the core. The core takes as long as 8 to 10 mins to start passing…
A client has a need for about 2500 dependencies. One for each remote site. Using the regular method of creating groups will not work, since the groups are limited. So I decided to use custom properties. Why not - we use custom properties for just about everything else. 1) Define the custom property (or properties for more…
Hello, We are monitoring routers and switches for about 150 stores. I need help with the alerting of the following: First alarm is when the router (first point of contact to the store) is down. When the router is down I don’t need an alert for the switch. When the router is up then the next step is the switch. If the…
So I've pretty much built up our Orion installation from scratch as I'm sure many of you have and I pretty much see it as my baby, for lack of a better term! Everything I put in I made sure was sensible and correct, every site had an efficient, logical group structure, dependencies, relevent groups placed geographically in…
example: Fiber channel interface is the child of a server. Hence if the server is down the san port is unreachable and does not create an alert, as where if the server is up and the SAN interface is down we need an alert.
We have many remote sites that need to be monitored. Each of these sites have custom properties that apply to every node at that site. These custom properties include site contact email, address, city, state, country, zip code, region, tier, company, division, and time zone. It would be amazing if there were container…
