Indeed, quite nice! I love your summary "Think of it this way, the none condition group is your NOT, the all condition group is your AND, and your any condition group is your OR." quite helpful!!!

Whoa, hold off the party!!! The SLX Polling engine that your referenced is 13K, the same cost as our 2000 node Orion NPM!!! Is there really no cheaper way? I don't want to poll more than the licensed 2000 nodes we are licensed for, I would just like to be able to poll from two different machines... This is absolutely a…

The really crazy part of this, is that I called and opened a ticket with SolarWinds asking about this, and was told I had to purchase another license to do this!!! This is exactly what we needed! Thanks!

Hey tdanner, do I NEED to upgrade to the newest DLL each time??? The issue I was encountering was the Invalid column name 'SNMPV3XXXXX' stuff that you mention on GitHUB as a known issue fixed internally... I opened a ticket (1108033) and referenced CORE-6828.

I'll get it shorty, but this is the first error the compiler throws... It's strange, i type SolarWinds then ., and it shows InformationSerivce, so the intellisense seems to be aware of the DLL and what it holds... but when I try to compile the error i listed above is the first on the list... all the following errors are…

Upgraded NPM to 12.0.1 Had issues, copied over the new DLL

I have setup the alert structure as you outlined and it doesn't work. To give you a bit more background, when I say site I do mean a monitored Node, generally an ICMP monitored node. The "Control" node is a Motorola Canopy Access Point, it provides point to multipoint connectivity to the "Sites" 1 - 3 in this test. So if…

Thanks for the suggestion njoylif!! Anyone else have an alternative to MIR3 so I can do some comparisons? Who are MIR3's competitors?

I think this would be an even cleaner way to do it!

Unfortunately, my PowerShell skills are even weaker than my C#, lol... I'd appreciate it. my two main use cases are: Create a node, along with it's custom properties Update Existing Nodes/Custom properties.

Unfortunately, everything I have seen points to the alert system being "stateful" meaning that when an alert triggers, you only have access to the data of the node that triggered the alert. This is one of the biggest issues I have with Orion right now. For instance, say I want a server alert to be suppressed if the switch…

I have that ping response time on my view only, I don't see a key at the top that includes % Packet Loss. The node showed up as in "warning" under the nodes with problems, at one time showing up to 65% packet loss.... but I have no % Packet Loss key or red line coloring for that node.

Good luck with your request friend! I've not been able to find any way to have an advanced alert know that status of any other node other than the one that the alert has been raised for. In essence you want to have Parent/Child relationships so you can only alert on the Parent node for a site, say the WAN router.…

I was just about to start my own "rant" about customer property editor and found your thread. Preach on brothers!!! The old custom property editor was much more functional. The ability to "browse" the table in a spreadsheet mode and edit was much more functional than what has happened on the web. I understand that many…

I couldn't agree more!!! We just upgraded to 11.5 NPM, and it's busted everything we do in our node automation. Now it's like a snipe hunt to find the info on what changed between versions.

I am by no means an expert... but couldn't you create a custom property called InterfaceType that identifies each interface that is a BRI? InterfaceType is equal to BRI interface status is equal to up This would allow you to trigger an alert whenever a BRI interface goes to an UP mode. I know it's a different approach, but…

In summary, the API is either broken after the 10.5 NPM upgrade or has changed the API functionality. Anyone from SolarWinds able to help us out?

Some of the things that we monitor in addition to the list Miles.cass listed: - Interface Errors (Alert if you cross a threshold of over 50 packet errors per hour) - Fan Status (A fan dying in a switch can be bad stuff... better to know about it as soon as possible.) - Temperature - (Again, a switch overheating is bad.…

That would be a neat feature, but isn't the flag "important" a Exchange only field? I don't know if mail hosted on another platform would have "important" flagging.

As a follow up... the IDE errors I was receiving were because the newest DLL file is built with a target of .NET 4.5, My program was set to .Net 4.0. Still getting the SNMPV3 Issues... just thought i'd follow up with the issue (screenshot above) incase anyone else encountered it.

I've been playing around in the Trigger Condition section of an Advanced Alert, but I can't seem to find anything that would allow me to make reference to another node or its status. Even with the creation of 2 custom properties "ParentA" & "ParentB", I can find no condition that lets me access the status of another node.…

These are all very good questions, questions I have asked before! :-) 1) Yes, the traps you receive are evaluated based upon the raw values so you don't HAVE to have the MIBS loaded. 2) Not that I have ever found. 3) No, and the Trap rule editor hasn't been upgraded in SEVERAL versions 4) No, unfortunatly right now, the…

I am just about to upgrade to 9.5, and would very much like to hear some answers to these questions. Surely you don't expect everyone to have to manualy select each and every switchport to set it to unplugable?

Did you ever get this resolved? Have you confirmed your SQL services are running and not just set to automatic?

Well, making reference to the online Admin guide, Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit would work just fine. The only caveat I see is that if your run IIS you have to run it in 32 bit mode. Since the poller won't be running IIS, You shouldn't have to do anything special. HERE is the link to the additional poller installation. Do realize…

I'm interested in this as well. Unfortunately everything I've seen so far treats an event that triggers an alert as a "stateful" event, meaning you have access to the data that triggered the alert and only that data. The poller may go on and read each of the subsequent values you are wanting to check against, but it will…

Couldn't you create a custom property that containts the "expected" state of an interface, and then in your alert compare the current state to the "expected" state and alert if they are different? This would allow you to know when a port you expect is down comes up, or one you expect to be up goes down. 

I don't know that you can, anyone care to enlighten us?

Juggernaut, This kind of functionality is very closely tied to the exact problem I have brought up. The "short" answer as I have been told is no. There are some allusions that if you do a bunch of custom SQL imbedded code in the SQL database itself, that you can increase the functionality of these kinds of things. Honestly…

I too keep looking for this functionality, but I've been told it isn't supported in Orion. True parent / child relationships would allow you to properly suppress alerts. For instance, if a switch (Parent) goes down, all the servers (children) hanging off that switch are going to be down, and being informed about the 20+…
