  • Hello, if 1. and 3. works well then I assume the problem is in connection between the "Hyper-V Compute Hosts" and your VMAN. Please try connecting via wbemtest (detailed info here). Use the same credentials that are in VMAN. If you don't succeed then I suggest that you contact SolarWinds support. Milan

    in Is there a guide to VMan widget query syntax? Comment by Milan_Volejnik August 2017
  • Hi, sorry for late answer. There are several options: 1) create several users, login to VMAN with those users on each browser tab and open different dashboard. This should preserve the same dashboards being open. 2) expose widgets outside the VMAN Web Console. Each widget has "Copy widget link" option in Advanced Options…

  • Hi uidzer0, the labels are really linked to the whole VM, Host, Cluster, ... If you want to launch an alert against particular mount volume then I would recommend this Alert settings: 1) Scope tab - Search Query = "*" (or whatever query you want) 2) Criteria tab - Base Alert On Attribute - for Linux machines (to get free…
    in Possible limitation with Labels Comment by Milan_Volejnik January 2014
  • Hello, you are right. When you want to create an alert based on fixed free space of datastores, the "datastore.freeSpace" attribute is the correct one. So you can use this alert settings: - create a new alert and on Scope tab use "datastore.freeSpace:[0 TO 10737418240]" as a search query (10737418240 corresponds to 10 GB)…

    in VMAN Data Resolution Comment by Milan_Volejnik August 2014
  • Hello, there are several options how to decrease data load. You can find all of them in Setup - Administration - Advanced Setup - System Properties menu. 1) most "painful" tables store Raw Performance Data. By decreasing "Days to Retain Raw Performance Data" (by default 14 days) property you'll get a lot of free space 2)…

  • Hi Muthu, in VMAN there's "Average Host CPU Usage by cluster" trend only. But it's easy to create your own trend. Try following those steps: 1. in Explore - Content menu focus on "Average Host CPU Usage by cluster" trend and press Configure button 2. on Criteria tab replace "/hostServer/cpuUtilization/latest/text()" by…

  • Hi, try to change the search query. Your rule: vm.memory:[2048 TO *] AND vm.powerstate:poweredOn AND vm.consumedPercentMemload.week:[0 TO .3] New rule: vm.memory:[2048 TO *] AND vm.powerstate:poweredOn AND vm.consumedPercentMemload.week:[0 TO 30] The vm.consumedPercentMemload attribute is already in % units. Let me know if…

  • Hi Joern, you can see historical network IO (or any other statistics) when you create a "Top-N: widget in a Dashboard, insert SQL query and select "Net Throughput" as an Overlay graph. If you want to sum the Network Throughput of all VMs you can do that via Trends: 1. perform an SQL query ( i.e. "vm.folder.name:Folder1")…

  • Hi aaustin1, you can create your own alert which will inform you that VMs are unreachable. Here's an example of an alert which is fired when there's no update within last 20 minutes: So if the performance data collection is older than 20 minutes then the alert is raised. More info at VMAN Administrator Guide, Alerts…
    in Can you monitor ping in VMAN Comment by Milan_Volejnik September 2014
  • Small improvement - if there are many VMs you want to exclude, then the query would be quite long. In this case it is recommended that the VMs are labeled - see VMAN Admin guide how to create a new label (Virtualization Manager Administrator Guide -> Administration and Setup -> Advanced Setup -> Labels). 1. select all VMs…
    in Change alerting for specific VM's Comment by Milan_Volejnik October 2012
  • Hi, I assume you are talking about Oversized VMs trend, aren't you? If so, the trend description is "VMs who peak at less than 30% CPU or 30% memory consumption for the past week and are configured for more than minimal resources", the search query is: vm.powerstate:poweredOn AND ((vm.cpuloadSumpeak.week:[0 TO 30] AND…
    in What metrics does VMan use to determine if a VM is oversized? Comment by Milan_Volejnik February 2016
  • Hi, you can exclude the server by its name. Here's an example: vm.powerstate:poweredOn AND vm.memload.latest:[90 TO 100] AND NOT vm.name:"VM name" or the same shorter query: vm.powerstate:poweredOn vm.memload.latest:[90 TO 100] -vm.name:"VM name" Here are several links that could help you create queries: Search query…

  • Hello, you can use host.internal.dateCreated attribute. The value represents the date and time when a host was added to the SolarWinds database (for virtual machines it's vm.internal.dateCreated attribute). FYI in VMAN there are two trends showing requested information. Go to Reporting - Business Views module and choose…

  • If you change credentials (or remove full and add the limited creds) then all the Hosts / VMs would be visible in VMAN (via Search module) next two days. They got stale & decomissioned before they are totally removed from database. Did you try to recalculate license (Setup - Advanced Setup - System Maintenance -> Recalc…

  • Hello, you can do that via Setup - Advanced Setup - System Maintenance -> Enable Plugin. If you have already enabled the plugin or you just added new data sources then I recommend that you disable the plugin first and then again enable it. You can see further information in the VMAN Admin manual, search for "Plugin" text.…

  • Gildas, did you try using vm.nic.macAddress attribute? The search query may look like this: vm.vnic.macAddress:"00:50:5:9e:00:1a" Another option (or workaround) is to export all vitual machines together with their MAC address: 1. select all VMs and press "Export Results" 2. add the "vm.vnic.macAddress" attribute and run…

    in Virtualization Manager Report Comment by Milan_Volejnik August 2015
  • Hi, I think best option is to use this search query: "vm.internal.dateCreated:[* TO now-3days]". The vm.internal.dataCreated is date when a VM is added into SolarWinds inventory (which may correspond to date of creation). Is it helpful?
    in Query the Date/Time a Custom Attribute was last updated Comment by Milan_Volejnik April 2015
  • Hello, if the alert is designed for particular VM then you can insert VM's name into alert name. Second option is to set "alert.rollup" = false. See Re: Virtual Manager e-mail alerts thread for details. But keep in mind that all alerts' emails will be sent separately after the change. Milan
