Questionario

I certainly have no idea :-\ I wouldnt know why SQL would have a problem with it though... if it saves it in that format, it should be able to convert it as well.... the orion server and the sql server are running on the same machine btw.

Should I open a support case for this?

Hi doug, I have the config to monitor set to the running config, I then test it by just shutting down an interface, the syslog gets tagged (I tag it in the alert to see if the alert triggered on the syslog). I also do an execute command as an action where it only says the following: C:\Program Files…

Hi Francois, I believe if you create 3-4 text fields, each with the option to "must match" or "must not match" as well as the following options: 1.) disable (disable the text field as it is not needed) 2.) anything (matches anything until the next string (lazy match in regex)) 3.) string (matches the exact string entered)…

Hi jiri, here I am again, still trying :-P Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Return= WshShell.Run ("PowerShell.exe -Command C:\Scripts\ExchangeReplicationHealth\SCRMonitoring.ps1", 0, true) The Return value here is 1 which means it ran into some kind of error, probably a permission error? If I run the…

yes and the "does not contain" has been a requested feature for a long time now but it has never found its way into a release... :(

I did that... and it seems the cpu load issue got better but I think its still there... cpu-load isnt always at 100% anymore but the lsass.exe is still taking up a lot of cpu... I just checked and it took up 70% of a quadcore (HP DL380 G6)

unfortunately APM does not support powershell :( hopefully in some later release!

-> thwack.com/.../ try to explain exactly what you want with use-case examples and how you would think the UI for this should look like. I already made a feature request similar to this (to simplify such use-cases) by email to Francois a while ago but thinking you need this urgently I spent my spare time trying to help.…

just to give more feedback... this works great and was exactly what I was looking for... Although this brings up a feature suggestion, not only for a folder watch but also for application monitors without statistics... I will never need any statistics for this monitor, I am only checking if a fileshare is available or not,…

perfect, thats what I was looking for. Thank you very much! I'll try it out next week.

There are two problems with this now: 1.) It executes the powershell locally, not on the server I want to monitor 2.) it times out because the powershell never exits (if I go .Exec, if I try .Run it quits but doesnt return me what I need)

thanks, the account is also a local administrative account. hardcoding the user and pass into an exe file... i dont know... I am hoping to find a solution which doesn't require so many "workarounds". I will document on how to reconstruct it and stuff like that doesnt look well in a documentation in my eyes so I try to…

Hi Doug, so it does not mean that the Windows account the service is running under needs to have permissions to read/write to the actual database (as all the other "accounts" the services are running under do not have these permissions either) but only that the account needs to have enough rights to be able to access the…

ok, good... would you still recommend upgrading (because of the bugs/incompatibilty with APM) from win2008 to win2008 R2 while updating APM and NPM?

Hi Brandon, please correct me if I am wrong.... NPM cannot add UnDPs to a map at the moment, however the newest APM 3.5 is able to poll certain OIDs with a new SNMP monitor. You would have to own APM as well but as a workaround you could use that to show the status of an OID for the time being :)

Hi netlogix, the string ${SQL:Select datediff(day, Convert(datetime,'${AlertTriggerTime}'),Convert(datetime,'${Year}-${MM}-${DD} ${HH}:${Minute}:${Second} ${AM/PM}'))} seems to return the number of calendar days that have passed, therefore if an alarm goes off at 11pm and clears at 1am, it will return 1day and 2 hours…

no pattern but here is an example.... --- This alert was active for MACRO SQL ERROR - The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value. days and MACRO SQL ERROR - The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value. This email was…

couldnt edit my post so here is a new post... I can run that report (mistook it for another report), however I still only see nodes managed by Orion.

+1 for that request!

I did... I am working on the restart of dependencies right now... I have two problems though, 1.) The dependencies have dependencies as well (i have a solution in mind if I could somehow get the string value of objService, then I could nest the modifications I made to your script. 2.) Not really a big problem but if…

Hi Thomas, thanks for the answer. For now I am using the workaround, just thought it would be worth noting that within APM, the way those dates are interpreted changes from time to time (not just at 12AM/PM, thats only when I noticed it the most, sometimes it would even stay at the "wrong" locale for several hours and not…

the URL does not work for us for APM alerts :( anyone else experiencing this problem?

oh and btw... is there any way to acknowledge via blackberry without having to log in? i dont want everyone to have access to orion via direct links though, only be able to acknowledge alerts.

I have the same problem as amrhossam, I have a case open for it with #203788

Hi Doug, any results? :)

To chime in, I too think that its not the best solution but a needed one, so the solution is like water on a burning hot day... sure an ice cold beer would be nicer but in the meantime this'll do better than nothing!

no, it is not possible (except for alerting on a syslog message that tells you that an interface is flapping of course)

yes, definately something I have a problem with as well... If you are monitoring systems via SNMP and it starts to have problems with SNMP and therefore does not alert if there is a problem anymore.... :-\

your welcome. I knew I needed a report like that anyhow so I had to get it sorted as well. But I thought it bothered you that the statistics weren't exactly on the hour, did you get that fixed? if so how did you get it fixed?
