Thanks for posting these chad.every​. I don't see a version for volume capacity alerts; if I were to adapt one of these scripts to provide a volume capacity alert, will it work for Windows volumes that contain backslashes (and thus need "escaping")? There's probably a way to do that in PS - I am just unaware of it. Thanks again!

Yeah, you should be able to adapt any of these scripts to your liking. Does the Node Disk script not cover what you're looking for for volume alerts?

It does, and successfully passes backslashes through - yay! (I just missed it - either not enough coffee - or too much of it - 40+ years of drinking it - still can't get it right)

haha, nice! glad to hear it works!

Hi,

I was trying to implement the host and interface checks via the PS scripts. If I open them in the powershell editor adopt the variables and test it I see the test post in Slack but if I create an Alert in Solarwinds and test it inside the Alert I don't get anything in my Slack channel. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing?

Thanks for any help,

Chris

Try changing the following Windows services to not run as 'Local System' and to run as either a local or domain account. Restart services once changed.

• Orion Module Engine
• Alerting Engine
• Alerting Service v2

I've seen similar issues of the script working outside of Orion but not inside. Changing these services seem to have fixed that for me.

Thanks I tried changing it and it didn't work, so I ended up double-checking the path to the script and saw that I had a typo in there. At the beginning of the path I didn't delete the < sign. After that I tested with a domain account on the services as well as the local account and both options are working now.

Thanks for your help!!

Hello guys,

I have the same issue. The script works outside Orion, but inside there is some problem. I tried create a bat file to execute the command, even so, it seems something internal in the Orion Server, as if it doesn't got call the command/procedure.

I made all the changes that you suggested but no way. Anything else do you think?

Tks for the reply and for the great job.

Thanks for posting these chad.every.  Every click in THWACK gets me a little further, I do appreciate you sharing the scrips! 

If i execute the file manually in powershell am getting the message in SLACK if i run via solarwinds alert external program am not getting any message. Kindly help me in tis issue.
