  • right - a hard disk that's not getting monitored and fills up can really ruin your day, and a hard disk that's been missing since ???, well - that's even worse.

  • Full SQL... That's shouldn't matter much for you.... My database name is STOREWAN - that could be a sticking point for some of you - that needs to match your actual database name... -AA

  • Yes - I'm looking for changed to exsisting, change controlled, systems. the changes I see in Solarwinds would be compared against what was documented and approved. Unapproved changes could then be investigated.

  •  Denny - your developers lied to you.... I did it... -Adam To Manually Trigger An Alert: Insert INTO AlertStatus (AlertDefID, ActiveObject, ObjectType, State, WorkingState, ObjectName, TriggerCount) VALUES ('{846CC1D9-7947-4AD6-A7FA-43D905836FED}',2617,'Node',2,0,'SNMPTRAP',1) Or Insert INTO STOREWAN..AlertStatus…

  • could you show us how alerts are added to the solarwinds database? If I had that information, I could probably do what we're talking about there.... -AA

  • Both I supose... I should be able to see that a node's status changed from the solarwinds home screen - the flashing grey dot. And/Or I would run a report nightly or on demand that shows me the changed nodes. I think that the check has to be part of the regular polling process.... maybe we can do this, or part of this, we…

  • So we all agree it's a good idea..... how can we do it? Maybe a custom SNMP poller? But what would the reporting/alerting look like?

  • I can't because it reveals things about my system and network, but this is how it works... The KML file can be broken into 3 parts... prefix, suffix and the waypoints/nodes. I save the prefix and suffix as txt files ahead of time. I get the status of my target nodes with this SQL command: Select right(A_CUSTOM_FIELD,3)…

  • "No client software needed!" - That's a good point - my Google Earth solution prompts you to install the Google Earth Plugin if you don't have it installed already...

  • I'll have to open a ticket.... I turned off "Keep Historical Data" for my poller, and changed the select field. This is a node poller, not an interface poller so I tried the "status" under both interface and node pollers. Both return status "unknown" for all nodes (except one node when using interface->status - it comes…

  • That would be extremely useful. What are the other available options with Traps in the current release? We only have them displayed on our summary page – could not figure out much beyond that. The Alerts work great for issue workflow, and certain traps are what really kick off a process – so to have Solarwinds seed the…

  • I found a way to do this that give you a live / clickable / rotatable / zoomable Earth with your network object on it. Make your Google Earth KML with Google Earth. I made a script that polls the status of the nodes I want on the map, and then builds this KML (they're just XML files). In this example, the KML is saved as…
