You need to create report in Orion Report Writer and then add this report on landing page for the node as a resource "Report from Orion Writer" SQL filter will look like this: SELECT ..... FROM SolarWindsOrion.dbo.Nodes JOIN .... WHERE Nodes.Caption = '${Caption}'

Scott, here is a report to help you with attacking noise in your environment: Repetitive Email Alerts (Noise) - MUST HAVE REPORT!!!

Hi Guys, one more quick question: I am planning to integrate DPA with Orion and found this: Requirements for the DPA Integration Module - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support the word "requires" doesn't give me a peace. Would someone please be able to elaborate what will happen if I don't have those modules. Will…

One more question guys - how do you go about DR strategy having DPA on a separate box connected to dedicated SQL instance?

Thank you guys, really appreciate your help. Ok, I now at least know good practice to get rolling by having DPA outside of the main poller + dedicated SQL box for future expansion. Thanks a million ... heading off to update my design

Hey Dan ( @danbran​ ) I think we must get on with this buddy and get it rolling in London. Starting from simple regular meetups and then progressing towards roaming from company to company learning and helping each other. I haven't seen any regular SolarWinds meets in London yet - let's do it! Just need to find a bunch of…

what is actual problem?

Just noticed this thread... thanks wluther​ for pointing here... To be honest, All Active Alerts hasn't really worked for me as I find it a bit too overloaded with data and it is not possible to group alerts (grouping that you have is not grouping really. It is more like filtering and displaying just one particular slice,…

Just before I dig into this myself - did you managed to find a workable solution?

We really need to have those tiles saved locally somehow. This would solve excessive/expensive APIs calls as well as the need for having internet access from the poller, which I know is a problem for many of us here.

Here it is: Monitoring VMWare Datastores With SolarWinds SAM

peace of cake: * go to SETTINGS > SAM SETTINGS > Manage Templates * create new template > Add component monitors * search for "file" > select File Count Monitor * set statistic threshold, which represents number of files * Fill up all remaining gaps (description, name, comments, etc) > SUBMIT * Find your template in the…

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! My 3 most wanted: * Ability to build conditions off of multiple object types * Change Custom Property action * Desktop Notification Tool + Sound You guys Rock!

Hey guys, I am not quite sure why this is happening, but I got same issue this morning as well. Below is a simple monitoring solution for this issue - you may find it helpful to be alerted when it starts growing Watch The Watcher... Or Self-Monitoring For MSMQs

Try accessing URL directly (/Orion/Nodes/Default.aspx) - if this doesn't work, then most likely permissions issue. Otherwise simply add this to your menu through SETTINGS > CUSTOMIZE MENU BARS

Hi Guys, This is how I do it (sql based): Know Your Routing Neighbours This report will highlight routing issues in a resource/report way. I keep it handy on may dashboard. I also use exact same SQL script to fire off alerts as well. Just simply select "Routing Neighbour" as your object in alert trigger and SQL Statement…

yes, there is a brilliant demo with all modules. You can also do some changes there (well, to certain extend) http://oriondemo.solarwinds.com/ 

This might give you some ides: VMWARE DATASTORE REPORTS with PowerShell You may need to extend PowerShell script to return number of VMs

My take on it - impossible. I see no other ways but going though your alert conditions manually

easy-peasy ... you can do this with Multiple Object Chart .. I guess for Interface you would need to choose "Interfaces" as object type and then you will have loads of possible charts to select from. Latency/Response Time for two devices in the same chart would look like this:

More digging: Here we are - Custom Properties DO allow HTML, however, when we pass value to HTML enabled alert - we do NOT have desired result. Now I believe this is something that deserves more attention from SolarWinds development team.

I have tried to eliminate SQL server completely by setting SQL macro to the below: ${SQL:SELECT '<b>This is dummy text</b>'} I still got same problem. So, must be something in the way SQL macro works. Is this the right forum to discuss this? OUTPUT: <b>This is dummy text</b> DESIRED OUTPUT: <b>This is dummy text</b> -- Alex

What is real-time? What does "real-time" actually mean to you? How "real" time can ever get anyway? SolarWinds is primarily based on polling (although with new agents it does some push collection as well). I beleive polling has minimum interval of 1 minute (with default being 5 minutes). For your real-time stuff - keep on…

Hi Ashley, I have just shared my template on this topic. It can monitor all services and report back on those which are not running. Check it out here: Check All Services Which Set To Automatic Mode Are Running

would you paste screenshot for the Trigger tab from your rule for packet loss alert

You Rock... with your bear hands... Haha Thank you for such an awesome story

I got "60" when I have checked my SQL in the place of this variable. I guess this is the frequency of checking the alert itself, which is configurable on "General" alert tab. Not sure though how it feeds in SQL statement itself. I have another question though - What will happen if I will remove comment: /* Do not remove…

Let me guess... (fingers on a wind) ... the top one is associated with components and bottom one with ports... I think... On a serious note - purging of data is configurable in settings as "statistic retention" periods: SETTINGS > POLLING SETTINGS. You have time stamp in ComponentStatus table - so you can check this one…
