A small note: you can also insert more email addresses (not just mailing list) separated by comma or semicolon.

Glad to help. Milan (the Atari kid)

Only List module has limit, the other modules (Search or Reporting - Data Export module) allow to export all results. So it's recommended that you: 1) create a new Search (i.e. "vm.datastoreCount:([1 TO *] -1) " to search for VMs with datastoreCount > 1) 2) via "Export results" button you are redirected to "Data Export"…

Hi, there's no such recommendation for Hosts. As I recommended above, there are "Host memory utilization" and "Host CPU utilization" alerts. Such alerts should tell you that you have lack of resources. Or you can also use "Capacity Planner" to get an overview if/when the hosts or clusters will run out of resources: Milan

In VMAN it's not so easy to skip alerting after business hours / workdays. But it's possible.You can get inspired by this Thwack post. So you can combine the 2nd xPath with something like 'if(/virtualMachine/cluster/name="Dev Cluster") then ...'. In Orion the alerting is much more complex with moany options, including…

No, in Top-N widget you can sort items based on attributes only. As a workaround, you can also create a new trend and use it in Trend widget to see top "X" items, including historical changes. Something like this: You can find more info about Trends in VMAN Admin manual (Trends). And Trend widget may look like this: I'm…

In this case you can use this SQL script to extract particular information: select name, cast((xpath('/x:alert/x:searchQuery/text()', (cast(data as text))::xml, ARRAY[ARRAY['x', 'http://www.hyper9.com/analytic-services/1.2.0']]))[1] as text)::varchar as SearchQuery, cast((xpath('/x:alert/x:dataAttribute/text()', (cast(data…

Manilyn, login to VMAN appliance as "admin" and run the fsck command via "sudo su".

You are correct. It's not possible to schedule this action. It's possible to create a new dashboard with a "Trend" widget and then "Create Dashboard Report" to get a PDF report via email (repeatedly). But it's PDF, not XLS format.
-
Additional information - if you just need to temporarily disable an alert you can do that in configuration of the alert.

Hello, since VMAN 6.2.0 it's not necessary to run DB queries. If you want to remove old collector just hover over the collector name and press "x": Those conditions must be fulfilled: 1) the collector must be offline 2) the collector must not be used to collect data If the "Remove collector" option isn't available then you…

Hi, don't select any servers. Just perform an SQL query (either "*" for all VMs or any other SQL formula to get requested servers, i.e. vm.name:"CRP*" OR vm.name:"SQL*") and press "Trend Results" button. Then continue with step 2).
-
There are two options: 1) Compare (DNA) module - you can compare values of one or two VMs (or Hosts) in time: - choose a VM, press Compare button - you can see how the VM travelled in time by selection of start and end date & time 2) Map module - list of all VMs, Hosts, .. and their mutual bindings a) go to Explore - Map…

Malcolm, if the "Notify only when raised" checkbox is unticked then you'll get the email when the alert is raised and also when the alert is lowered. See the VMAN Admin manual, Alerts (Notifications) for further details. There are decribed all available options. I suppose you look for the last one, don't you? Milan

In this case I'd recommend Data Export. You can choose to export: 1) static set of VMs (, Hosts, ..): in "Search Results" module choose VMs you want to monitor and press "Export" button 2) dynamic set based on Search Query: perform a Search Query and press "Export Results" button Then choose attributes you want to see and…
-
Hello, I don't understand your comment "If labels are not going to work for lower level objects, for example disks... why even present the label button or allow me to associate to a label.". Where do you see this behaviour? Can you insert a screenshot please? More info about labels is at…
-
Hi, if you are in Advanced Search editor then press "Editor Mode" button: After that you can insert attributes (No. 1) or type your own complex queries directly into editor (No. 2): Hope it helps.
-
Yes, you are right. There's a bug and Dev team is working on it. As a workaround you can create a new resource container which is based on dynamic content: 1. perform a search over Clusters, i.e. cluster.name:"Cluster01". Keep requested cluster(s) unchecked and press Plan button 2. continue with points 2. and 3. as…
-
Bret, it's difficult to find out what's going on without logs. I'd suggest that you contact SolarWinds support.

I don't know limit when exporting VMs. But in your case I would use Data Export report and schedule recurrence: 1) in Reporting - Data Export menu input your Search Query, add requested attributes and and Run Export: 2) as soon as the report is Completed schedule recurrence of the report via Configure button. Optionally…

Hello, as Curtisi mentioned earlier, by default LEM warns the users about running out of free space when used space is less than 10% (LEM, OS & Temp partitions) or 10GB (Logs/Data partition). But since LEM v6.3.0 the users are able to define their own limits per each partition, see "Create a disk usage warning when…

Hi, small note. Your way is correct. However there are several issues. The List can contain max. 50 items and also manual export of VMs from the alert isn't very handy. If you want to analyze the "VMs with Large Snapshots" alert frequently it's recommended that a SQL query is used in "Data Export" menu: It will add all VMs…

You can add a new "Performance Chart" widget to a dashboard (each Virtual Machine and its attribute need to have separate widget) and export results in PDF via "Create Dashboard Report". After that you can schedule automatic launching of that report. Will it help you?
-
No, it's not possible. The only option is to sort items upon attributes, not xPath queries. BTW this thread is almost identical with Re: Dashboard Trend/Top-N with custom attribute
-
Would it help you if you create a "Top-N" widget? The widget also offers to display a lot of useful information. One of options might be as follows: Please note that the big widget size would be available in VMAN 6.0. Is it convenient for you?
-
Hi, sorry for late answer. 1) if you are getting all VMs from all clusters then please contact SolarWinds support. 2) you are right, the "Oversized VMs for a specific Cluster" report is based on combination of "VM CPU Overallocated" and "VM Memory Overallocated" alerts. However the definition is hardcoded in the report. So…

Neither headers nor units are customizable right now. If you think this would be useful for you then you can create a new feature request here. The more votes, the higher chance to implement this feature.
-
Hello, 1) Sorting you can sort list of VMs by any attribute you can find in Attritube list ("Edit widget" -> "Query" tab, "Pick sort field..." menu): The most similar attributes are vm.volSummary.freeSpacePercentage (average free space across all disks) or vm.vol.freeSpacePercentage (free space of all disk volumes). It's…

Hello, VMAN appliance takes credentials one by one until first successful login to vCenter. So I would recommend that you create unique credentials for each vCenter. Or there's a way how to assign credentials to vCenter(s). If you integrate VMAN with VIM (Orion), in Configuration Wizard you can choose which credentials…

Well, in this case I'd recommend to export data from chart: This option is suitable for small amount of VMs. If you want to have a report containing all VMs then I'd suggest that you integrate VMAN with Orion. Here's a brief overview of a report: Last option is to export data from VMAN via PowerCLI (info here).
