Hi Leon, Thank you for your reply. I am not sure what account you are referring to. I have confirmed that stopping service (as mentioned above) does stop alerts, but I am yet to come up with an efficient way of triggering this via text message by an on-call engineers. I will update this post when I have a progress on…

Great, thanks aLTeReGo, this is exactly what I am going to take away as a answer

Yes, sure, you can use any scripting language - PowerShell, VBScript, WMI, Perl, etc. Just make sure that you do format output correctly so that SolarWinds can understand and interpret this correctly

Thanks Chad, appreciate your help

Thanks for feedback. Ye, possibly. Only this will not work truly universally. Some devices are WMI based, although you can do OID polling over WMI, that would mean (even of SNMP transform is available on this level) to have custom pollers assigned for every node just doing these kind of calculations. Sounds way too heavy…

Ah, ok, no problem. It is just a slight inconvenience, but I am glad to her you are on top Thank you, Alex

I would certainly agree. Separating nodes with Custom Properties works really well. We do have custom property called "Environment" and we do monitor all nodes - development, sandboxes, pre-prod - you name them. It is actually great to be able to see entire estate at a glance. With regards to alerting and dashboards - yes,…

That's really cool. So, just this one line would take care of all dependencies, etc... I need to learn SDK ...

That's the whole point my friend - you tell yourself because no one else will. And what is really cool about it - once you tell it yourself, once you have claimed it, once you own it - others will suddenly agree That's just how it works... If you can't say about yourself a bunch of good things and if you can't believe in…

Hi Maria, My ultimate goal is to see this notification blob:

AGREED! APPROVED! BLESSED!

Hi Alterego, thank you for your reply. Will I still be able to receive application specific email alerts for this node? Will those alerts still be triggered and not suppressed by the fact that parent is down?

Ah, ok, that's what I was afraid of. So, looks like this setup would not suit for this purpose...

OK, I did some tests - apparently this WILL trigger and alert if you will change custom property ITSELF (i.e. description, etc). However, sorry for not making it clear, I would like to receive an alert when VALUE of the custom property has been changed. Also, I do not want this alert to sit in "Alerts". I would like to…

I like the way you construct links for various purposes. Would you please be able to show (screenshot) how did you configure [Edit] link? (I mean as seen in web-based report config)

This is very very strange. From the trigger parameters it is quite obvious that this should trigger an alert, but it doesn't. Am I missing something? avn, would you please be able to confirm that the above does work in your environment?

Thanks alterego, just did it

Where you able to find out where "Disable All Actions" check-box value is kept?

Just bumped accidentally at your post... From my experience - if you want to be best at what you do - just go out there and help as many people/clients as you can + believe in yourself and your abilities to deliver fantastic results

Hi Roman, Thank you very much for your reply. I am not looking for anything fancy, just need to know when my SAN hard disk have failed or when they are running out of space. Dell SAN has got it's own management SAN HQ environment, but I just though to consolidate everything in SolarWinds. But by the look of it it is…

OK, I did some tests in my environment and I can confirm that ${APM_ApplicationCustomProperties.MyProperty} is not recognised as a separate macro, however, there is no need for colon ":" workaround anymore - it works with regular SQL statement: ${SQL:Select a_ealert_cc FROM APM_ApplicationCustomProperties WHERE…

Hi aLTeReGo, I have similar problem - trying to use in "CC" field, but also have tried as a test in body of the message. Variable is not being picked up. Here is what I have: That's how it is configured in Advanced Alerts: And that is an email being triggered - only NODE Custom Properties have been picked up. Application…

yep, thanks, that's what I am doing ... the above will obviously pick nodes only... below is a full SQL if anyone interested: SELECT nn.NodeID, alst.ActiveObject, alst.[State], nn.Caption, alst.ObjectType, alst.ObjectName, CONVERT(NVARCHAR(50), DATEDIFF(MINUTE, alst.TriggerTimeStamp, getdate())) + ' min ago' AS…

Thanks fcaron for your kind reply, I am waiting for NPM 11 to be approved for roll-out next week (internally) and I will be getting my hands on it pretty soon, in production. Very, very excited. I will let you know how I will get on. With regards to ExtraHop - I have never seen them, spoke with them, dealt with them...or…

I have just noticed "stop all alerts" function. Would you mind sharing how did you implement this? I am looking for similar solution which can be changed via GUI by tech teams Thanks, Alex

Hi Joshua, at the moment our WAN latency between AUS and NY is 550ms - this would be show stopper. You say "documentation says 250ms" - are you able to point me to that?

Hi Craig, Yep, that's exactly what we have at the moment. However, managing 2 full blown instances is a big pain. Besides, it is very costly and inefficient as we are under-utilizing them, with ~1000 nodes in each. Was just wondering if anything besides it possible... hence this question EOC good option, however, as it…

Just to clarify on that - this will require "Location" to be configured correctly on every SNMP device and this will only work with SNMP devices for now.
