Ah, ok, I have managed to do this by adding device as ICMP only first and then by editing polling method of it.

yep, that's what it says on the tin (screenshot above) "Requirements"

OK guys, that appeared to be isolated to my environment. I had a template called "Windows Scheduled Tasks" already, which I created myself earlier trying to come up with script to do exactly that. I gave up eventually because of complications and inability to query Scheduled Tasks via WMI. Template stayed there and was not…

Hi aLTeReGo​ Just for the sake of my curiosity - how did you workaround the actual root cause with free APIs? I am assuming all instances now use generic API key which is being sponsored by SolarWinds - just my guess - is this correct?

Hi aLTeReGo, Would you be able to provide the correct syntax for this macro. Both me and jason1320 could not get it to work

Detroiter, What version of SAM you are on? If you are on 6.1 (latest) you do not need this ":" workaround anymore. You can just use SQL statement with ":" in it - it works perfectly fine.

aLTeReGo, To what extend it will be fixed? To the extend of allowing colon ":" or to the extend of using ${Application.CustomPropertyVariable} variables?

Yahoooooo! Thanks

Actually, this is exactly how I run many of my my PowerShell script requiring local execution - I wrap them around VBScript. lukas.belza‌ has published this solution here - I use it pretty much with no modifications, as is - it works all the time

That sounds very interesting semi-automated approach to deal with stopped services. Would you mind me asking to share your script which actually does restart the service? And what is the workflow/delays that you have within the alert to escalate the issue prior to actually restarting the service? My concern is - if we do…

I want entire SNMP message for every SNMP alert to be built dynamically (TO, CC, FROM, BODY, etc) regardless of the quantity. Consistency is important. I do this for Advanced Alerts at the moment... however with SNMP Traps it is a different story... BTW, I have learned to copy-paste a while ago and I certainly can manually…

no, unfortunately it is not. there is no full history for all alerts there, neither I could find full history in SQL. It does not have similar records as in dbo.AlertLog table in SQL for earlier NPM verisons. I ended up triggering NPMLog action and then interrogating Events table instead

thanks a million

Hey guys, I know it has been a while, but just for the sake of closing it off - please find Runbook attached (to the main article). I had to remove detailed diagram any any references to sensitive or custom settings. It still makes perfect sense and you can appreciate steps involved. Please note - this approach is only…

Here is a script to get you going ... SELECT CASE WHEN ao.RelatedNodeId IS NULL THEN 'STANDALONE ALERT' ELSE ao.RelatedNodeCaption END AS 'RelatedNodeCaption', n.Environment, --this is custom property ad.AlertName FROM AlertStatusView asv JOIN AlertDefinitionsView ad ON ad.AlertDefID = asv.AlertDefID JOIN AlertObjects ao…

did you change database name? it appears 2 time as "SolarWinds". Default is "SolarWindsOrion" if you haven't change it during install

this is support ticket my friend, for sure. Log a case and please drop a note about resolution later

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to take SQL statement approach now? If so - you need to switch "I want to alert on" drop down to Custom SQL. Once you will do this - you will then see place to enter SQL code and submit button. Screenshot above just show you SWQL version of what you have configured as triggers…

ou, that's an idea, thanks cahunt‌ ... here is what you can do (in theory): 1. as suggested by Cahunt - create another custom property based on text and non-dropdown, say [SiteText] and do not advertise it (hide it) 2. create alert which will trigger upon custom property value change for [Site] property 3. create action to…

Hello my friend, sorry, my bad, I actually gave wrong advise above. I have checked just now myself and all I can see is an ability to override Capacity Planning Threshold. No override for space Well, your only option is to utilise Custom Properties then. On a positive side - you now have latest SAM

Did you mean column name remain to display, not table name? I am not sure if you can do so. When you create a report with Report Writer it usually does this in preview mode, but when viewed as a report - this will be grouped together so that value is displayed on top and column name is not shown. It was never an issue for…

I would suggest to start from scratch. First - remove all filters and all limitations and only leave "I want to alert on Hardware Sensor". See what is going to trigger. Then, start filtering out once you know it works. Another thing I notice - you have limited scope in your rule above. I use this functionality very rarely.…

Oops, yes... I was wrong. Good catch. Will correct now

OK, you were saying above that you have managed to get this info via UnDP already. Where does this info sits? Are you displaying this as a resource on your node page? Can you send screenshot? The problem is - since I don't have UnDP - I do not know which table those records belong to... Just send screenshot first how do…

Hi aLTeReGo, Case # 594985 Thank you for assistance, Alex

I am on NPM 10.7 at the moment. Thanks for your help

Hey... thanks for bump-up... I have been waiting for 4 month already

I feel sorry for you.. really. Your unhappiness is not because SolarWinds supposedly "messed up", it is because you allow anger into your life. Now think of it - what are you in control of? Honestly? Nothing! You are not even in control of your own thoughts (me too by the way). And if so - how much longer you will be…

Well, that will work as well. Just run SolarWinds Upgrade Advisory - you may well find that you will need multiple hops to get where you want to be. The process would probably require upgrading on existing environment first, then building new one and migrating DB from existing to new one, providing that version match - to…

Nice one, well done I will need to adjust my alerts to accommodate 6.1 fix as well. I have upgraded yesterday, didn't try yet but thought that I will be ok with ${APM_ApplicationCustomProperties.MyProperty} only.
