Resource To Display All Your Components With Problems (SQL)

< BACK TO TO THE MAGIC OF SQL SCRIPTS SERIES LIST

Hi All,

This solution is going to be based on the previous work, which has been done for SWQL. Version 2 if you will... SQL based

Challenge:

  • Be able to see all your components with problems in one convenient report/resource with click-able URLs

End result:

003.PNG

Features:

  • Display your components with problems along-side with nodes, apps, message, etc in one SQL report
  • Direct click-able links for the objects
  • Status icons
  • Use this report as a resource on the page
  • Support for exclusions (mute) on any level - node, app, components itself and even template
  • Ensure that disabled components would not show up

Step-by-step:

(1)

To be able to mute you would need to have the following Custom Properties (obviously if you already have some for this purpose - please adopt SQL script as per your set-up):

  • n_mute_dashb Node's CS AS a date-type, where you can set date in the future until when to mute
  • a_mute_dashb App's CS AS a date-type, where you can set date in the future until when to mute

(2)

PLEASE USE BELOW SQL AND REMEMBER TO UPDATE DATABASE NAME

* For the URLs to work you would need to copy paste URLs (which you can find in the SQL script below as green comments, next to columns descriptions) into Web URL field of the Orion Report Writer, under Field Formatting tab. You can also hide ID fields as they are only used to build URLs). If you will download attached Report - this is all has been done for you already

Once you have configured and saved you report in Report Writer (or you can download attached) - you can then add "Report from Orion Writer" resource to any page you like (usually it would be your summary or NOC page)

Select this new report from the resource:

You are done! emoticons_happy.png

How to mute

  • To mute on node level: set n_mute_dashb to any date in the future you would like to mute until
  • To mute on application level: set a_mute_dashb to any date in the future you would like to mute until
  • To mute on a component level: add "__mute" string into User Notes field of your component
  • To mute on a template level: add "__mute" string into Template description field

Tips

  • Usually, when I introduce any new monitoring application - I would mute it on template level. In this case our team don't receive any alerts whilst I am testing it.
  • I do use same SQL script (with just few minor adjustments) to fire email alerts. Therefore - all flagged issues can be muted by simply acknowledging an alert for a particular component. This particular check is not included in the above SQL, but please feel free to let me know if you would like to implement this and need help
  • My original script (which I use in production) has few additional checks, such as Environemnt and Impact. It will only trigger if Environment is set to PROD and impact either HIGH or MEDIUM. I will discuss this solution later, as it is a very robust and flexible approach for managing scopes in the environment of any size, which deserves a separate article

Have fun emoticons_happy.png

    This is what I am here for - to receive this kind of replies from my fellow SolarWinders emoticons_happy.png Thank You!

    As for the SQL part - as I have mentioned, view is already in SQL by default - so, you don't need to create anything. I think I know what is you problem - you simply copy-paste SQL script and didn't change database name... Notice Step # 2 above has the following "PLEASE USE BELOW SQL AND REMEMBER TO UPDATE DATABASE NAME"

    All you need to do is to replace every instance of "SolarWinds.dbo" with "<You_Database_Name>.dbo" and run it again - try it - I think this will get you going
