To add to what Jonathan said, you can use node custom properties to dynamically select the email recipient. See detailed instructions posted below Using Custom Properties sending Alert emails

It does appear to be the way you are passing arguments to the script. Below is an example from an out of the box 'Log parser (powershell)' template If you modify the arguments to be comma separated like 30,txt,\\server\directory and modify the script body to be $time = $args.get(0) $ext = $args.get(1) $path = $args.get(2)…

There is no upgrade path from STM to SRM. You can let both STM+SRM run in parallel with no license penalty for monitoring the same arrays from both STM and SRM.

The sudden increases *should* be covered by using the baselines and dynamic thresholds feature of NPM. Simply edit the interface(s), and if you scroll down all the way to the bottom you will see options to set warning and critical thresholds based on baseline data. It uses 2x standard deviation for warning, and 3x standard…

If you created a view with just 1 custom table resource, then created a new menu bar with this view in it, and assign it this directlink account - it should work here. I don't think you need an SDK effort for this. If there are any challenges with this approach for external access, you can purchase an additional web server…

That is likely to be one of the reasons. The fix is outlined in this article Error: Cannot execute as the database principal because the principal ewreportuser does not exist, this type of principa… The other reason is because your SCCM may not be configured to send WSUS reporting events back to it's WSUS server. 

go to settings, define a new network discovery and use the 'Specific IPs' option to list out the 49 IPs you want to monitor. Once the discovery results are ready, you can use the interface filtering options to add in just the interfaces of interest. once the interfaces are managed by NPM, you just need to setup the routers…

See SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: NetFlow Interface resource(s) show utilization peaks higher than NPM utilization or higher …

My preference is to define component monitors such that the "thresholds" defined can determine it's status regardless of component monitor type. The sustained threshold logic in the component monitors (x consecutive polls; x out of y polls) make it even more practical to push the status logic to the component monitor…

‌towards the end of the discovery results import process, there is an interface filtering option that should help in this case. using wmi will present a valid set of interfaces. any reason not to use wmi?

You should be able to add Node (the switch you are scanning) properties to this report

When I add a Custom Table resource to a Summary View, you go get options to add Custom poller information. You get the same options for a Custom Table resource in a Node Details view as well, but oddly only when the data source is NOT set to the default 'Use current network object as Data Source' (bug?) So, not a…

Custom properties is the most optimal route for this use case IMHO. Do this for 1 group, and I will provide additional instructions when I have access to a bigger keyboard to handle this in a single alert even across multiple groups ( even with different thresholds for each group)

From the admin guide Note: Web-based reports do not allow the use of variables that are created by preceding a property or database column name with a dollar sign ($) and an open brace ({) and then following it with a close brace (}), as in ${Node.LastBoot}. So, you will not be able to reference macros in a Custom Table.…

Correct. Additional poller talks to Orion server on port 17777. Orion server talks to additional poller on port 17777. Port 17777 is used by SW Information Service.

I see. I would suggest you turn on session tracing from NCM Settings. Login to the NCM server, and launch the Network Configuration Manager Win32 app, browse to the Netscreen device and click on the Action > Validate login information button. That should provide a bit more detail You will also find a Session-Trace folder…

Ah. You are using SAM v6.2 RC. The alerting macros are different for web based alerting. The Advanced Alert Manager should still be available on the SAM server. Try defining the alert the old way. I will try to do the same with the web based alerting later on BTW (not that it will make a difference), the screenshot has a…

Your Syslog Viewer is showing no messages. There is also a View -> Search Messages option to search the Syslog history. As per your rules, you are not discarding any of the logs. If Wireshark shows packets hitting the interface but SolarWinds Syslog is not showing any current or historical messages, could it be that the…

It sounds like a necessary service was not set to Automatic mode, and the reboot obviously didn't start it. MSMQ would be my prime suspect. Check the status of that service first. If you launch the Orion Service Manager utility, do these services actually show as stopped? Anything in the Windows Event log (the System one)…

Total seems to be the actual value polled for Counter type of SNMP OIDs. Status would be the poller value. For a counter OID, status would the difference between the 2 polls (i.e., difference between previous Total and the current Total).

which hardware alert specifically?

SMI-S is the way to do it. If you have already followed the instructions as per page 17 of this doc http://www.solarwinds.com/support/profiler/docs/SMISProvider.pdf (which is also in the product help) and looked at the Troubleshooting FAQ that follows, please open a support ticket (http://www.solarwinds.com/support/ticket…

This is the overall summary only. If you go to HOME > Events, pick the Cisco router from the Network devices drop down and choose a time frame to cover the missing emails, do you see events for Node going up and down? i.e., was the alert fired for this router in the first place?

You see the WHERE clause where it says caption = server1 AND Caption = server2. That is clearly impossible as a server cannot have a caption of server1 and server2. I think the condition group is not correct. For the condition group, 'trigger when any of the following apply', you must click on this line and use the... menu…

The in-built basic virtualization monitoring available in NPM and SAM was exposed under the VIRTUALIZATION tab many years ago. Now, this tab is reserved for the integration with Virtualization Manager. However, if you upgraded from older versions over time, the tab would still be present for backward compatibility. My…

They are all the latest and greatest versions. A support case is probably the best route as the logs are likely to help to identify the root case. Below are some things you could try (in sequence) - Go to Settings > Manage Agents page and check the status of the agent as well as the plugins. If any of the plugins are…

See this thread on how to export Basic Alerts from the database Basic alert export?

You are right. I wasn't thinking there for a moment. If server1 was an additional polling engine, and server2 was added as an external node, TCP port monitor approach would work. You should be able to come up with a simple script that does a telnet from server1 to server2, and create a windows script or powershell monitor…

I think you are saying the View type is a 'Summary' view, and you would want to add Resources that are available only in another view type (say in a 'Node Details' type of view). So, if you want to add the CPU chart for a particular node into a Summary view. You can do this by adding a 'Custom Object' resource into a…

Also, note that you can purchase and install an additional web server to insulate the web access from the rest of the Orion server. See the section on 'Segmented deployments' below Orion Architecture
