to the best of my knowledge, license is a Customer Service function. You should be able to open a Customer Service ticket, but you will not be able to open a customer support ticket.

hi, my apologies. I misunderstood the question. Which Solarwinds products and versions are installed on the primary and additional pollers? You can find this information in the footer of the web console. Is the 4GB usage happening fairly evenly throughout the day?

Completely agree. Email groups is the easiest way to handle this. The custom property approach mentioned earlier can have a comma separated list of email addresses also, but I would go with the email groups approach

Available columns is dependent on the datasource you have picked in step 1. Change that to Alerts.

The admin guide still states it as a recommendation SolarWinds Online Help

It made me dig a little deeper. When you add a WHERE clause, it will exclude any rows with NULL values. I bet the old nodes did not have an explicit value set for the Cust custom property. And, apparently this is normal ANSI SQL behavior http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191270%28v=sql.105%29.aspx If you modify…

You can Edit the NCM node and choose the template to force it to use your template. The format of your template is correct

Yea, it doesn't seem to explicitly state that but the vSphere firmware has hardware sensors built in. That is the reason you don't need to install anything like OMSA from the vendor.

Do you see data if you choose that counter and chart it in perfmon?

EIther that or {poller}*0.1 will get the job done.

I don't recall if there was a variable in the old alert manager that did the same thing. If there isn't one, you should be able to do it using a SQL macro as I am pretty sure there was a variable for the alert trigger time The SQL macro would should look something like below ${SQL:SELECT DATADIFF(mi, <macro for alert…

Looks correct. You can export the custom poller and attach it to the conversation. I can take a look to make sure the poller is correctly defined. Of course, this is a piece of cake to setup if you have Server & Application Monitor. 

Doh! Of course. Let me try later

Don't assign the swPortName poller, and for the swPortStatus and swPortType pollers set the label using 'another column in the table' option and select the SNMP table column corresponding the swPortName OID. That should help you use the port name as a label. For the question on hiding table pollers in the Status resource,…

A few things to check - You have a long list of routers in the complex "any" condition. I am assuming the router in question is in that list, and you have verified that the router name displayed in the node details view matches exactly with the value you have used for the filtering condition - The alert also filters on a…

Try matching the drop down options on the left to the ones in my screenshot

Exactly what I would do for now. I would further add a Group By to the custom table for better readability Also note that you can add filtering based on the Group name in the Datasource definition, i.e., you don't have to create custom properties there is an open Feature Request for which you can add your vote…

No

Can you tell from Cacti which OID it is polling?

I suggest you take a look at this TIPS & TRICKS: Stop the madness! Avoiding alerts but continuing to pull statistics. The strategy outlined works very well for your use cases as well.

There isn't. Hence, the workaround I came up with

Can you post a screenshot of what the widget in Virtualization Manager displays?

I believe those IDs are coming directly from the source machine. So, no easy way to exclude them. It should be possible through a custom SQL report

No worries. Yea, the Custom SQL alerts typically start either with a , or a JOIN

You may want to post your template to NCM content exchange Network Configuration Manager

Yup, you did.

Yup, there is a whole lot of flexibility in there. To speed up troubleshooting, you should also look at Orion Service Groups (Settings > Manage Groups) where you can logically group all these application monitors / components within these application monitors / nodes, etc. You can then put that Group object on a map to…

Yea, the Time column should provide a browse button to select the Time column although I haven't tried the same steps with a SWQL for custom pollers. I am running v11.5.2

See page 113 onwards http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/orionNCM/docs/orionNCMAdministratorGuide.pdf . You will need to execute an external action. BTW, this is to trigger an NCM config download, not to execute any commands via NCM. Apologies if I mus-understood.

That says the VMware API is responding well, and no issues accessing it from the SolarWinds server. Can you go to http://x.x.x.x/Orion/VIM/Admin/VMwareServers.aspx (where x.x.x.x is the IP of the Orion server) and post a screencap of that? Is the user account a domain account or a local account?
