yes; https://notify.uw.edu/ uses twilio as it's backend to let students know when slots open up in rare/highly desired classes. It also forms the backend to on-call notifications from servicenow -- it works quite well.

ah... in this case I'd not go for a voice call, but look for a SMS modem solution tied to a cell-phone that sends SMS messges to a set of recipients. e.g. a foxbox SMSFoxBox - Hardware SMS Gateway and more - Home page In my case if I loose all the network connections the phone system is probably also out

the ARP settings are the 'L3' UDT settings on the node page: this is the sort of thing I am seeing in my logfiles: 2014-04-10 10:55:08,163 [ 18] DEBUG - { UpdateNodeData(): N:91|Layer3 (xxxxx) [SolarWinds.UDT.BusinessLayer.Polling.UDTLayer3ResultProcessor] 2014-04-10 10:55:08,163 [ 18] DEBUG - ARP: New: '0' Old: '0' Same:…

1. Simple syslog message -> alert: I Tag syslog messages in the syslog viewer and use custom SQL like this: where nodeid in(select nodeid from syslogwhere messagetype='BGP-PREFIX-EXCEEDED'and datetime > dateadd(hour,-1,getdate()) ) where exists (select 1 from syslogWHERE syslog.nodeid=nodes.nodeidAND datetime >…

1. ask your customers to sketch out the standard, and the gnarly, pieces of their network on a 4*6 index card and mail them to you. 2. look at the pictures and see how you could determine the dependencies. 3. offer thwack points for each card. It would take me less than 10 minutes to write the cards, and you could see how…

sadly servicenow's event management module isn't included in /our/ licence, and would be $$$$$$ to add so that might be moot.

I'd have to look to see what others have shared, and you could do that yourself. I'd use this as an opportunity to play with the UnDP tool to see what the device returns since you can point it at an actual working UPS on your network and check the return values in the tool.

No. Solarwinds needs to do it for you, Add MIBs to the SolarWinds MIB database Cannot find OIDs? Update the SolarWinds MIB Database

this works from the network utilization events. The thresholds are whatever you have set as the interface utilization alarms in the NPM thresholds (i.e. the 65%/75% are not coded into the query)

You can use the database editor on the server to do this, or write code using the API...

the challenge of snmp indexes is that they are trap-specific, for example there is nothing that prevents mteHotOID ending with (say) 0.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.39.7.252.120.0.0.0.0.101.0.0.0.0.0.26.203 which might be used for an event cause by an IPv6-related event (for example the number of BGP prefixes…

alerts need an alertable object to be raised, and unfortunately the wireless client traffic is associated with a controller, so you can only trigger the one alert (at a time) on the controller for a client consuming lots of traffic. Richard

AlertState AlertDefId = BBBB ActiveObject = AAA

You will have to write a report to get what you want and then embed it in the page -- support should be able to help you get that done.

not VNQM -- we're going it with uNDP in NPM (attached)

yes... I like to use table aliases because it makes referring to specific values shorter and I am a poor typist typically I use the initials of the table name, e.g. CPA, CPS, CP instead of CustomPollerAssignment, CustomPollerStatus, and CustomPoller.

the $vbDatann​ are definitely stored in TrapVarBinds

look in C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\Wireless\SolarWinds.Wireless.Collector.dll.config make sure you have <add key="RemoveDisappearedAPs" value="False" /> otherwise if an AP disappears from the controller it gets purged from the database, and its alert will disappear too. [this is my gripe below -- this value…

You have to replace these two lines #SWIS connect #database connect with the right commands to connect to your Solarwinds server, and your CMDB database that contans the table 'devices' table that has at least the following structure: (our CMDB is on postgres) > \d devices View "public.devices" Column | Type | Modifiers…

I did a query against the soalrwinds database an pulled the values from there. The return values from adding a node includes the nodeid and I determined what type of device it was earlier (in $oid). my code then goes on: &add_poller($AddedNode,"N.Details.SNMP.Generic"); &add_poller($AddedNode,"N.Uptime.SNMP.Generic"); if…

Because that is a simple integer comparison rather than a string comparison, and I have a lot of traps to compare against. and I like coloring traps because it makes pretty rainbows when I view them in the webUI. [seriously it helps me easily spot them rather than have to look at the traps]

I'm worried about your reset condition, because the logic is not quite the same as what I posted, and I've found that this works best if the set and reset queries are almost identical with only the first not added to the reset query. You're going to have to run both queries in the database managers and compare the output.…

the difference between the two rules is simply the single 'not' on line 01 reading the SQL inside out line 05 is there a reset trap for this node that matches the tag from the trap ( swift.storage.1 from the original message) that arrived after a trigger trap 02 through 06: return the set of nodeid from traps where the…

it's quite well described in the manuals. 1. Use the server console application 'account limitation builder' to create a new account limitation type based on a custom property. [I normally use the custom property as the name because it makes the next step really obvious] 2. this will then show up in the type of account…

excellent -- I'm trying to get a perl script together that looks up [monitored] interfaces in our [postgres] CMDB and adds them to NPM [if they are missing]

Might want to create an idea for SOlarwinds to accept traps from the AP controllers indicating the state of an AP so NPM can flag them as down immediately the controller says they are instead of having to poll the controller. I have over 9500 wireless APs (on fail-over clusters so NPM thinks I have more than twice this…

you have commas missing from between the arguments at he very least

OK, it'll be a day or two as we've heavy weather and a lot of stuff happening all the time right now.

Also.. after you've install sqlserver, but before you install the orion products you can play around with the database server settings described here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd206993(v=sql.120).aspx

No. However you don't need the whole routing table, you need one entry: IP-FORWARD-MIB::ipCidrRouteIfIndex.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 which on one of my leaf-routers returns '6' Then write a little bit of SWSQL to join together interfaces, custompollerassignment, and custompollerstatus to get the interface attributes you…
