I had to edit the above conditions. The condition Down covered Admin Status as well as Operation Status. So, I changed it to Current Numerical Value = 2. That appears to cover Op Status of "down".

I got it working. For the UDP I used these settings. For the trigger logic I used these conditions.

I had to run the command prompt as administrator with all the processes off to get the MIBs file installed. msiexec /i "C:\programdata\Solarwinds\Installers\MIBsv2.msi" Note the lowercase "s" in the MIBsv2.msi. The code online shows it as upper case in the above command.

I have found that after this attempt, I can't use the Universal Device Poller to create pollers.

That sounds slick, but my issue is making an alert work. If I don't have an "Alarm_on_Interface" event, then I can't get creative on who gets it. Besides, most the alerts just come to me and my Director, so it will stay very simple. 

I've gone the most detailed route and created a Universal Device Poller on the SW server. Then I made really basic conditions for the trigger. Trigger Condition:EditAlert on all objects where: Custom Pollers - Unique Name - is equal to - Juniper_4100_Interfaces The actual trigger condition: All child conditions must be…

I haven't tried that for this alert. I recall using it in the past. I will need to dig up how to see an interface ID on the Juniper switch and match it with the info SW sees.

I don't see the benefit of using a custom property when I should be able to just choose an interface on a node and trigger an alert by its state. It should be an easy alert.

Tyndl, No change. I'll add a variable that is simple, like the Node Name and see if the simulation at least can return that.

That looks simpler. I'll give it a try. I'm working on a UDP method too. 

That's a description not the interface name. Physical interface: xe-0/2/2, Enabled, Physical link is Up Interface index: 708, SNMP ifIndex: 565, Generation: 204 Description: CENIC VLAN 702 LACP LAG to CENIC Switch.

There is a way to find out what the variables do in the Trigger Actions section. You can add a variable to the email and then simulate the action by selecting a device to simulate on. Such as this new switch. I have not found any of the interface status variables that will show the interface status as down. Clearly, SW can…

I think I have tried just simple "status". I chose the operational version because I saw that term elsewhere in SolarWinds for the status of the port. I changed the value on the condition for the port I know is down to Status ( Interface via Interface on Node ) and still no devices will trigger the alert when I get to the…

Each of our school sites have a pair of fiber links to our data center. Each of the above pairs in the child conditions represents one school. We have 15 sites, so there are 15 pairs in the trigger condition. The goal is to alert when any one fiber link to any school goes down. In some way, it would appear that the…

Here are the first few lines of the trigger. There is nothing after the list of interfaced IDs like under advanced options.

Left as Any Dashboard, I do not see the Empty Widgets if I scroll down or if I search. However, I can select any of the premade widgets. The odd part is that once I've done those things, I can now change the source to Empty Widgets and I can select them. 

My fault. Use single quote marks not double quote marks. 

Is the text formatting important? I still get an error with this: SELECT NodeName FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE NodeName LIKE "%NOC%";

I can still see the Modern Dashboard under the Settings pulldown menus "Manage Dashboards". I told it to set the dashboard as Public, which it already was. I then set myself as the owner. When I try to add a new widget, it acts like I am not the owner. When I try to configure the widget I get " The owner of this dashboard…

May I assume an add-on like this will not be supported by SW tech support? 

I found that if I few the email that would be sent out, the variable in it does have the correct info when I simulate on a test UPS. The CustomPollerStatusScalar.RawStatus. How do I use that variable in the trigger? Just the "CustomPollerStatusScalar" part or the whole thing 

I installed the SWQL program on my SolarWinds server and started poking around. I see that system.DateTime seems to be the holder of Date and Time info. I tried a simple SELECT ALL query and each time I try the ALL it errors with "No alternative in Select clause". If the program offers me the ALL, why does it not like it? 

I've never done a SWQL query, but I can learn that. How do I point to the query from the Alert creation pages? 

Have I stumped the community with this one? 

Does anyone have some info on why this would be the case or if my trigger condition needs fixing? 

I'll start a new thread for this new question.

OK, I found a OID that should do what I need. My issue is that using the Universal Device Poller, I can browse the MIBS and for the OID I want and select a UPS that I have unplugged, and test it, I get numerical values that show the seconds the UPS has been on battery. Yay! If it is plugged in the value returned is 0.…

Is there a way, while testing the universal poller I made to see it's current output? I did run a test, which showed "Success" and had the table with all the row IDs and values. If I point the test at an UPS I have unplugged, I want to see the result indicating it's on battery.

I need to revisit this topic, as we found I was not getting the alerts I expected. I hope I can get some more clarification. As shown above, I still have my Alert triggering on Custom Node Poller. I have limited the scope to only Vendor equals Tripp Lite Here is the part that I think the logic breaks down. Trigger…
