Excellent initiative meech​ !!

Count me in !!! This is one of our big choke points for application specific logfiles. Challenges we have are: 1) dates in file name or directory path 2) pid's in file name 3) watching for multiple strings in same log file 4) duplicating all the above for 3 - 8 other log file instances on same server and then again across…

We are working on the same sort of integration. Service now has provided a perl script to open a "ticket" and I will be putting a distribution of Active State Perl on our Orion server to utilize this. The Service Now API (via a perl module provided by Service Now) will also allow for other actions. We are pursuing both…

<18000 points to go....

only about 1500 points and change separates adatole​, wluther​, and bsciencefiction.tv​ It's gonna be a race...

Congrats as well ! I am still waiting for my swug points, That should get me closer though....

Is it possible that a number of disabled events became enabled after the upgrade ? Also to consider, if the alert rule was updated in any way (even behind the scenes), it will re-evalute and alert again....

I wonder if you have a sam poller or universal device poller set up where you specify the ip in the poller to poll a specific IP. This would explain why you see the poll after the "SolarWinds Job Engine v2" service is restarted a I understand things. On a second thought, Do you have discovery turned on ? Is it trying to…

Hmmmmm.......

You would need to tie into something on the AS400...like the Help! Systems products such as robot console, robot, etc. It would be better with a workload automation tool...

Interesting...I hope this bodes well for all involved !!

For everyone having this issue, can you please post your Solarwinds case numbers ?

I also have case 641507 open on this after we had a ton of work with Microsoft to help determine what was going on. According to Microsoft, (copied and pasted from their email) After reviewing the data here are the conclusions thus far based on current data. Based on Initial Analysis it looks like the following account…

Have you tried to “quote” the entire string ? Or you may try and “escape” the newlines in your script on the unix side.

If you go to the https://thwack.solarwinds.com/welcome page it shows you the latest in recent content across the community.

Where do you need your input questions answered ? I didn't see a link or form for them.

I am passing this along to others at my company who are involved with WPM and have been pushing the envelope with it.

The new SCP launch info with links to the new guides is here SolarWinds Certified Professional Launch This appears to include a NPM and a SAM certification...

Suggestion: When you write the alert to the email include a timestamp. That way when you get the email you can compare the timestamp to the time/date on the email...this will let you know if it is an email latency issue. (like this never happens) NPM 11.5.2 Orion 2015.1.2 has many issues it seems regarding alerts, time of…

Most everyone else has already hit the high points with good reference points to start with. I'd recommend spending some time learning about thwack. The You Don't Know Thwack - The on boarding mission is a great way to help you to learn your way around this great community. Spend some time looking at the Youtube videos.…

Can you break it apart by device type ? (server, network, appliance, etc. ) Meaning is there a correlation between types of devices and these intermittent issues or possibly location where the location is known for power or environmental issues ?

someone must watch the watcher. I find it best to have a small instance outside of your production monitoring tool that is set to just watch the monitoring tools otherwise if your production instance has a problem it may affect it's monitors or those that run on that system. It is best to be on the outside looking in.

You can build your own MSMQ monitors and related alerts using powershell and wmi. Never hurts to have a small instance of Orion running outside the main production Orion so that you can watch yourself from the outside. Then you can let yourself know when something is not quite right....

Can you provide the actual query you are using for your report ? Also I suspect this needs to be moved to the NPM product section. DanielleH​ , can you move this to the appropriate subforum or point me to the person to direct these requests to in the future ?

use snmpv2 then... or set up a non-changing id/password specifically for SNMPv3 that is non-expiring....there should be provisions for that at the SNMP agent config. It likely should not be an AD account.

What sort of database is it ? If it is an oracle DB then you also need to check to see if the listener is up with a TNSPING. I agree with HolyGuacamole‌ in that you need to do a simple query to each database to check on its availability. For any sort of performance queries, your DBA should be able to provide a specific…

I would think if the variable is exposed to the shell at the time the script is called it should work.

Yep, just give them a little time...especially this time of year.

In a past life we used NCM to backup backup configs while NPM was used for monitoring servers...basic SNMP polling.
