Questionario

Thanks Craig :)

I third the request :)

make sure you have set the interval to show at something that will make sense... in your case as you seem to only want to see a single day, I would set it to something like "Every 15 Minutes", if you have it set for example to once a day, it will show the No data for time period as you posted.

how great =)

no, if the share does not exist, the wmi query will actually not return any results so i will have to leave out the where/filter part and then maybe make a loop to check all elements for "SW$" and return 0 or 1 if found/not found... just dont know how the syntax will look like for that...

Hey Marie, no problem :) I guess he will also answer my question(s) then?

judging from the last link I guess that APM does not support powershell directly? If I knew how to execute the powershell on the remote computer with the exchange module loaded and would get something that I can try to parse, I can try from there but right now I am not even sure how I would execute the cmdlet and even get…

yes, NCM is the new Cirrus. Current version of NCM is 5.5.2 so it not yet 6.0 I didnt know user tracking was supposed to be in 10.0 :) Maybe because I dont need that option very frequently I havent checked up on it.

have you tried deleting and re-adding the interfaces? maybe the old interfaces were changed in a way that they are not discovered as the same anymore...

Well, we cannot install any RC's in production, once it is decided that the current RC will be the final, I can also wait the 2-3days until release notes and the final version are uploaded :)

With regards to replacing the 'nodes with problems' with a Custom report. Admittedly it certainly comes close to replacing the 'Nodes with problems' resource however it is missing some key functions such as the mouse rollover feature but most importantly none of the node names are http links. I wouldn't be willing to…

Hi jejones, it is not currently in the works I have been told... I assume this is because solarwinds has the impression not enough people are interested in it. I have made a feature request for this, if you want to post a comment so there will be another one requesting this feature as well:

I am asking because we experience "slow polling" or gaps with APM, we have enough RAM, enough CPU, no disk queue, low latency on the drives, etc. We have about 3000 monitors on APM. SQL is running on the same server as network connectivity issues have been suggested as the problem several times by solarwinds staff. SQL is…

It is still being pushed to the customer portals I heard :P But APM is already there for me...

thanks for trying. As IPAM does not include any node details (which I wish it would...) it would have to filter on the IP. unfortunately that doesn't seem to be possible. would definitely be a nice resource though... I would do a last 5changes on all nodes then (would also love to have reports disappear if there are no…

no, you shouldn't necessarily see them in the universal device poller! but you can just copy/paste the OID into the universal device poller and it will still poll that OID and show you the return value! if that is the case you can request to have this MIB added to the universal device poller and it should be included in…

Hi Ronit, if you are on a trial you can still open a ticket I believe, either through your customer portal or just by calling them directly. There is only limited and low priority support for trial users though. Trial is what you mean by free user, right? Because there is no "free" NPM version

well, I can say that I am running 9.5.1 and it is calculating it correctly, its dividing GB by 2^30, at least in the graph with the Volumes above 80% utilization. As this graph would also include memory (virtual and physical) I am not sure how it would handle that...

As Andy said, the logic is flipped and in some blog/tweet of the headgeek as well as on the advanced alert training it is mentioned not to use "none" or "not all". I guess it is suggested not to use this as they dont know how they will fix it yet, meaning if you have alerts like this, how will the fix treat those? Will it…

yea... i was hoping to get around the restriction of only one custompoller to alarm on if temperature reaches a warning state but in the alert email include the temperature...

hmm, you could create a custom sql alert and check the lastpoll for each node and component and filter out unmanaged nodes/components. this would create a lot of alerts if it happens to many nodes, that's why we created an advanced sql alert that only alerts on one kind of componenttype at once (we did it to notice when…

the regex I wrote is working fine... I created a new and simpler regex which just makes sure there are no lines that start with ssh other than the ones you specified: --- ^ssh (?!(?:10\.1\.1\.64 255\.255\.255\.224)|(?:10\.2\.2\.0 255\.255\.255\.0)).*?[\r] --- no lookaheads or anything fancy included in this regex, simple…

+1 for me... not a must have but something other monitoring tools have and orion does not... its convenient and easier to use than having to enter a custom time frame to zoom in. I'd put the priority after fixing existing bugs for myself though ;-)

for us it is a bigger problem... the report gets sent out to a mailbox for lots of users have access to that are not supposed to log into orion... hopefully there will be some work on the report writer too... then again I want work done on so many things, syslog, traps as well as some feature requests for APM ;)

Back when I opened a support case for this I have been told to install Outlook instead of MAPI which has been more reliable, sometimes it still fails but by far not as often as before. We also put the alarm so it only alerts after 6minutes of downtime, which means it will be at least one poll after one that failed, not the…

well, if it can do a trap alert on it there probably is an OID for it too but I just dont know which one that would be :-\ btw, i didnt quite understand what you ment by it being possible with "these backups". the OIDs I guess would only be updated if the firmware is updated.

you can either change your email type from HTML to plain text to resolve this or use the following string instead: Alert: ${FullName} is ${SQL:Select Round ('$@VolumePercentUsed@',0) from Volumes WHERE VolumeID='@VolumeID@'} Percent Utilized Volume Size ${SQL:Select round((VolumeSize / 1024 / 1024 / 1024),1) from Volumes…

thank you very much for your help so far! the custom property isnt encrypted, isnt there a possibility to pass a stored and encrypted credential set? everyone here will have access to the custom properties of a node, so it would be bad for a server administrator account to be shown in cleartext there.

what do you mean that it doesnt show anywhere? did you try searching for its name? it should be under unknown nodes.

right now yes, we originally used the program to let it be executed on a remote server so we could alarm over a different internet connection if our internet connection is down... but that wasnt the best solution for us so we are still looking for a suitable solution...
