custom query for fetching active alerts

basilfernandaz, take a look at any of these articles, they should be able to get you started. If you still need help let me know and we can work through what you need.

Thanks Christopher for the info , Can you give some sample query format ..for alert active and severity and node id please ?

basilfernandaz, all of those posts from the previous reply contain examples. Here's a another example.

Thanks for the information , what i failed to fetch is Active Alert and its severity in the same query ? i am stuck with this, Can you please help me with some query fetching active alerts and its severity and node pls

basilfernandaz, can you paste a copy of the query you are currently working with?

basilfernandaz, take a look at this, it seems to be what you are looking for.

Dear Christopher , 

Using this query (generated from SWQL studio) , able to fetch active alerts in the system , 

SELECT TOP 1000 AlertActiveID, AlertObjectID, Acknowledged, AcknowledgedBy, AcknowledgedDateTime, AcknowledgedNote, TriggeredDateTime, TriggeredMessage, NumberOfNotes, LastExecutedEscalationLevel FROM Orion.AlertActive

Thanks a ton brother, How can i add node region in the query ? need to fetch node region details along with the existing data , can u advice please

basilfernandaz, is node region a custom property you have defined?

how do i incorporate custom property (node region ) with this existing query 

basilfernandaz, so this might work. I don't have an instance i can test out in. I'm fairly certain there's a navigational property that can be used in place of the join but as i said i don't have an instance i can test out in to confirm. This is also dependent on the name of your custom property, you need to make sure the line ",N.CustomProperties.NodeRegion" is accurate.

OBserving Error as attached , CAn you please look into it brother 

basilfernandaz, because i don't know the exact name of your property its erroring out. As i stated in my previous reply you have to make sure that the line with NodeRegion accurately reflects the name of the property.

This is the seperate query gives node region , 

basilfernandaz, change "NodeRegion" to "Region"

basilfernandaz, perhaps it is beneficial that you take a look at these SolarWinds Labs to better understand the basics. Watching these and understanding the basics will greatly assist you in resolving these and modifying these queries to get this information.
