Below my solution on how to get the full folder path. It will work as is with 6 levels of folders but can be expanded as needed. SELECT DISTINCT GroupNode.Address , CASE WHEN GroupNode.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.DisplayName IS NOT NULL THEN (GroupNode.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.DisplayName +…

Mark, I agree that if you are monitoring Orion using a web browser that the sound files have to be there. No issue there.... The problem is that our helpdesk has Orion projected on the wall using a workstation and due to various reasons they want an alert sound to go to each individual helpdesk technician's system to alert…

can folders be cratered to identify locations then within the folders have nodes? Not sure what you're asking? Can you explain the problem you're trying to solve? We can give you an idea for how Orion could solve it?

.... and more testing. I tried to see if it would execute a vb script - same thing. This is the script I wrote - note that when I tested it with the test alert trigger it worked but when I waited for a node to go down it only showed up as a process, not an application. Name: test.vbs Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject…

You could write a script to do the Get and/or Post and call it as a script action from an advanced alert.

 MSFT decided a long time ago to favor their own WMI over SNMP, so they don't really provide much SNMP-wise.

Stephan, It would be helpful to have the account login/logouts, adds/deletes of nodes/interfaces/volumes, any admin function, logged (as a separate field/column) in the Orion Event log along with the administrative message. Then we can create reports to pull account activity. I believe this has been posted in the Orion…

So, so close...... I was able to execute the sound on the remote system making the changes suggested BUT only when I clicked on the Test Alert Trigger. When I configured a node to go down and waited for the poll to catch its status change it never kicked off. Am I missing something?

We've been called worse than crazy, but part of the way that Orion maintains its mix of usability, flexibility, and relatively low cost is that we lock in certain configurations. Allowing the web server to be installed separately adds complexity in Dev, Test, and Support. Not a huge amount, but it's more. What you're…

Just tried that - when I hit the Test Alert Trigger with the alert as just c:\test1 nothing happens.... no action at all. I even went back and put double quotes around the c:\test1 (it looked like "c:\test1") and it didn't run either.

No timeframe that I can commit to yet.

Ensuring that a script runs outside of APM is the most critical step in the troubleshooting process.

No worries. I just want to direct you to the best place to help you. Thwack is not the fastest, and it sounds like you need speed.

ghjkl, We monitor Thwack, and we reply. It is not necessary to post "please reply" after each of your posts. If you are having troubles getting your job done and need an immediate response to your questions, Thwack is not the most appropriate forum. Please call Support.

You're right. We will update the free tool, too.

We're actively working on 9.6, but we're not able to provide a definitive date.

This is one of the reasons why as a non developer I hate having to write code in order to accomplish a simple task which was solved years ago. I can understand that you'd rather not write a script, and for the most common cases, it's not necessary. But there will be lots of less common use cases, and we allowed for…

We fully expect this to be in 9.6, but our rules around accounting don't allow us to provide specific dates that far in advance.

I believe that restarting the Custom Polling Service would have the same effect as running the config wizard and choosing database only. Config wizard will shutdown and restart services as part of it's running. The Universal Device Poller in 9.0 is the new incarnation of the Custom Poller. It's been significantly reworked…

Why did the Disable Session Timeout stop working in SP4? We haven't heard this from anyone else. As for web console performance, you seem to be experiencing problems that other users are not having. We have other customers with enterprise environments who are using the web console quite successfully, especially with 9.5…

Did anyone get to the bottom of this ? I have a call logged with Solarwinds about this very same issue. All of our Application service monitors randomly become unknown until the next polling cycle. I am guessing here but it could be that the WMI is not 100% available and we are only becoming aware of these blips when they…

Try this: Delete Inetpub/Solarwinds/Orion/NetPerfMon/Resources/Misc/CustomHTML.ascx, restart IIS, remove the resource from the view, and re-add it.

maticks, VMware has not updated their MIBs, so we are in the process of rewriting the functionality using their proprietary APIs. Although I wish it were, it's not a trivial amount of work. It's something we're planning to deliver with our next release, and I don't have a definitive time on that yet.

Confirmed! Works! Many thanks!

I definately think there is something in the V9.5 database configuration/indexing that is causing this. I have also noticed, today, that I have numerous interfaces that are polling unknown. The problem with the web console is, if you try to rediscover them you get the same status; however, if you do this in the System…

Given how unmanageable custom MIB pollers are for collecting all the information I need from my WLCs This should get a lot better with Orion 9. And we'll support MIB Tables, which should open up other possible monitoring.

Many of my user's are experiencing issues logging on via the Web Front end.They get this timeout problem "system.web.httpexception: Request timed out" Seems as if not all user accounts can log in, i have insured there were no special charactors in the username and/or password, still problem exists.Just found out that this…

On a node details page? Because when I do it on a Summary page, it doesn't work and shows what you're showing.

I'm waiting for installing that patch because, if you read Microsoft KB943656 article, they say: "A supported cumulative update package is now available from Microsoft. However, it is intended to correct only the problems that are described in this article. Apply it only to systems that are experiencing these specific…

Enlighten me with some example JSON.
