[ANSWERED] OK, I have cracked it Here we go... (1) Create the following report in Report-Writer: (2) Create new Action in Advance Alert to trigger Event Logging: (3) Add Report From Orion Report Writer Resource to Component Page: (4) Configure your Report Resource to display your report you have created in (1): (5) Sit…

I think I have found the answer: both tables were moved to views and names changed as follows: dbo.AlertsDefinitionsView dbo.AlertsStatusView Thank you ME for finding them

I am monitoring 300 nodes and NIC statistics on SAM server shows 3.0Mbps average receive and 1.0Mbps average transmit. You should probably host monitoring serve on client's side

Thank You katieb‌ I am in as well

It depends what method you will use to monitor services. If done over WMI (Windows Server) service monitoring, then all you need is the user to be part of group "Performance Monitor Users". Check this link as well for some additional settings.

sounds scary... I will monitor this thread as I have this upgrade planned for the next week

bump up! This is my most desirable feature. If anyone has any elegant workarounds - please let me know. All I need is to be able to populate groups with applications, based on node custom properties these applications are attached to Example: show all applications which are assigned to node where node's custom property…

Thank you guys, I was just hoping to save on the amount of work needed to be done to configure two similar products to do the same thing. Maybe can be considered as a new feature? The biggest benefits of doing so are: 1. Saves time - just need to configure one collector per device. 2. In case we decide to change 3rd party…

First - configure your global threshold: SETTINGS > Orion Thresholds > Disk Usage Second, on your Volume landing page add resource "Custom Properties for Volumes" > Then within this resource click on "Edit Custom Property Values" > Scroll down and you will see settings to override global threshold on per/disk bases A bit…

Did you get this working? We have similar setup in our environment and all works. I will be posting an article on how to do this soon shortly, but in the mean time - let me know if you still need some help -- Alex

OK, I am answering both of my questions 1. From description of the Component Type for the Windows Event Log Monitor (see below) it seems that it is not possible to retain status and I need an email alert to be notified in order not to miss anything Windows Event Log Monitor This component monitor scans Windows event logs…

is it web-based report you are referring to?

First you need to make sure that your node's hardware is being polled: * Run "List Resources" on your node and add all hardware components. * Then add "Current Hardware Health" resource onto your node page so that you can see all hardware sensors that SolarWinds was able to pick up To create an alert you can do so via…

Well, doesn't looks like SAM's Web Link Monitor will enumerate and check all links on page automatically . I think something like Frog Spider as suggested by Darragh or any other similar online web-crawler/checker will do the job. The only problem is - how to automate alerts so that they come from SolarWinds Will need to…

will Pingdom report on broken/dead links?

I think of them as files and folders. Application is equivalent to folder, whereas files are equivalents to components. Application must have at least 1 components. Component itself does all the monitoring job. I think in SolarWinds you can have cases when you have component without application, but I would stay away from…

I would advise you to start with pre-defined alerts and then work your way through by narrowing down and adding more filters as you go along. There is no one solution to fit all needs. I do however advise you to explore Custom Properties and what they can do for you as early as you can. borgan‌ has recently started fairly…

You have a hint within resource itself: So, to answer your question - for you to be able to restrict to only "Physical Volumes" for example you can use DisplayName from ForecastCapacity: ForecastCapacity.DisplayName LIKE '*Physical Memory*'

You need to ensure that you are formatting your outputs correctly Check this powershell guide

I believe the answer is No I would recommend you to give them meaningful readable names, such as for example "for All Nodes located in London"

Hi terryedwards519‌ I have solved exact same problem by calculating threshold of any disk based on 2 variables: disk space in MBytes AND disk space in % I have published solution here, which is based on VBScript and SAM template. I now have improved this solution and I use SQL query instead. The principle however is…

Not sure about the warranty part, but we get our service tags from the hardware information: * Create report based on NODES * Add criteria if needed (my report hasn't got any criteria in this case) * Add node columns as needed + Service Tag column from Overall Hardware Status as below

I would like to know if SolarWinds actually do endorse any classroom training programs at all ... I might consider running one

My friend, I would suggest you to use search in the top right corner, just below your points. Simple search for "APC" gave me at least 3 different results with brilliant monitoring templates somebody has shared. Once on the result page you can further filter your results by content type (in the left menu). Selecting…

Top 10 resource will always pick up all nodes, regardless on what page you will add it. So, adding it on group page will not limit it to these group's nodes. I never needed this myself and I would love to know as well if anything like that would be doable by any other means.

I am just fishing for a bit of knowledge and understanding... never done this myself yet, but will be doing shortly. Is VPN compulsory or this is just a way of accessing polling engine securely?

Yes, you can do this by using "Account Limitation" feature when you configure user accounts:

There is a basic default pre-configured alert for it out-of-the-box. Just go to ALERTS and search for something like "Alert me when node goes down". Go and explore it and see how it is built. You can add additional filtering criteria as needed

Click on the database and then click on Unmanage

* Create simple web-based report based on Nodes ("I want to report on Node") * Do not specify any conditions * ADD TO LAYOUT * Go to EDIT TABLE and add Vendor column from the Node tree * Expand Advnaced section and select Data Agregation: "Count" * PREVIEW > HAPPY > SUBMIT > NEXT > NEXT > NEXT > DONE > CELEBRATE By the…
