This is not fixing it for me. Used the built-in Admin account as well as other domain-based and local accounts with full administrative rights. Tried the "current user" route while logged in as admin as well as manually inputting the admin password. All PDF's are still just login screens. Embedded HTML displays fine and…

Support indicated there is a hotfix for my issue. https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Orion_Platform/Orion_Documentation/Orion_Platform_2017.3_Hotfix_1

I have been using custom properties for email recipients for years, however now I cannot get it to accept more than one in the TO field. These are alerts and properties that have been working for years. I just upgraded to NPM 12.2 and SAM 6.4 two days ago.

timt​, I was having the same issue. I just added a line to filter out those results. Not perfect because it will ALSO filter out any that were actually muted by the admin, but at least clean enough to use. LEFT OUTER JOIN Orion.AuditingEvents AS [AE] ON [AE].AuditEventMessage LIKE CONCAT('%', CASE WHEN [EntityUri] LIKE…

Use dynamic groups. You can sent up a group to be populated by a dynamic query so whenever a new node matches that query, it will automatically get added to the group. Then the account limitation can be set to Group of Groups, wherein you can select the specific dynamic groups that that account.

Leon Adato has a good idea. If the credential that is being changed will no longer be used for any other templates, then renaming/re-passwording it in the Credential Library is the way to go. It should be noted that credentials are not used for applications or application templates, rather they are assigned to each…

Yes, the Directory Size Monitor component. In fact, there is a built-in SAM template (as of SAM 5.5). Just point it to the subfolder on the share, assign proper credentials to it, and then set the desired thresholds.

In the report URL, add "Printable=TRUE". Should be something like http://orion-instance-info/reportid=123&Printable=TRUE&blahblahblah....

Does not appear that you can. This is surprising since the Web Report layout manager allows for this. Would be a goo thing to make a feature request on, i would vote for it.

Since my Groups are dynamically populated based on specific Custom Property data values, I can just use those same values to assign application monitors. In fact, the only way a new node gets into a group is to have that field populated via a drop down (this is one of many reasons I CANNOT wait for mandatory custom…

According a Support, this is known since EOC has yet to have an update released since SAM released the Application Custom Properties. Just a waiting game until EOC gets updated.

Yes. You can use the Alert Escalation tab on the Alert Trigger action to specify the time span and whether acknowledging an alert will halt the escalation.

There is a premade Software Inventory Report already. Just need to add a filter line to the original query. Once done, click "EDIT TABLE" to add the "Caption" field tot eh display. The second NAME is the from here...

" a collection of node and interface data that I'd like to export and save, and selectively import into the newer server." Are you referring to trying to import that database data from one instance into another? That could be potentially catastrophic. Since pretty much everything in Orion gets incremented when added, you…

Not sure if this is still needed, but i took a run at it. I needed something similar a while back that would display the status messages for all components contained in an application monitor. The SQL for that wasn't hard, but the alert emails would only ever display the first entry that met the criteria. I learned that…

If you do not have addresses that contain.98 anywhere else besides the last octet, using this should work However, if you DO have address with .98 in the middle you may have to convert the "Type of Property to Monitor" dropdown from "Node" to "Custom SQL Alert" and use something like this WHERE Nodes.IP_Address NOT LIKE…

That OID name seems to indicate that those are just the indices of the CPU's in the device, not the values themselves. Check this out for some better OID's to track. How to Collect CPU Utilization on Cisco IOS Devices Using SNMP - Cisco

I do not have my database in front of me, but I'm pretty sure you want the "Containers" table(s).

Embedding custom HTML is possible and routinely done, I have several myself. Can the outage map you are looking to embed be shared for further testing?

First off, why would you want to do that? The node is not down at its most basic level (ICMP) just because a volume is full. If you are looking to track availability as it relates to volume usage, you could just run a report against the volumes(s) on the node and display how long they were over the threshold for a…

After looking at the AuditingEvent table in the database, it is clear that NetworkNode = NodeID. i then tried to define a custom SQL variable in the message that leveraged that macro...failed. Seems the ${NetworkNode} macro in the Auditing Events category is broken. Kellie Mecham may want to take note of that. But I'm not…

You could create a custom table report with the time frame limits you desire and use that instead of the canned "Active Alerts" view item. Likely won't be a visually appealing, but will get the job done.

Could try to modify the built in "Alert me when a managed node has not been polled during the last 5 tries" by adding a criteria where Object Type = WMI.

If you want people to know alerts are still active and unacknowledged after a period of time, you should use use the Alert Escalation aspect from within the original email action. You can set to to whatever time frame you determine and can use acknowledging an alert to stop/prevent it. For a list of active alerts grouped…

Any movement on this topic? This is the last piece that is preventing us from converting entirely form HP SIM to Orion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What are you looking for availability of? The Nodes, Applications, Components or Groups (actually called Containers in the database)? For Nodes, use: AVG([OrionDB].dbo.ResponseTime.Availability) For Applications, use: AVG([OrionDB].dbo.APM_ApplicationAvailability) For Components, use:…

I have a similar task for my company's maintenance windows. As you mentioned, disabled then re-enabling advanced alerts will cause any existing alerts to retrigger. More importantly, it resets the age of the alert which may affect SLA requirements. Instead of disabling alerts, I found that another way to avoid email floods…

You may be better off splitting them into 2 templates, 1 with A and B, 1 with just C. You can configure an advanced alert to exclude triggering on template of A and B, but still get their metrics over time.

I am also of this belief. i have been waiting months for the EOC database to mirror the ApplicationCustomProperties table from SAM 6+. It is seriously hindering my ability to present data to my operators.

1. There is a SAM template already built in that will do this. It is the Terminal Services Session template. Note - my tests failed due an issue with WMI class names in some versions of Windows. If the default query in the template fails, try this one instead SELECT ActiveSessions FROM…
