we make use of custom properties to select the nodes that need to be backed-up in each job. [we have another job that select items where the Last Login Result is not 'Login OK' that we use to catch transient failures in the backup process -- this truly is a dynamic node selection since it's the backup job that catches all…

There is a REST and SOAP API allowing you to pull data, and shared alerts allowing solarwinds to push (selected) notifications check out http://thwack.solarwinds.com/community/labs_tht/orion-sdk

Note: this bug is still there in NPM 12.1 and 12.2 in our upgrade the server names were changed, and staff started troubleshooting alerts on inactive SolarWinds servers. Also need to fix the engine names Update AO Set AO.EntityCaption=E.ServerName FROM [dbo].[AlertObjects] AO , Engines E WHERE…

Here are the Fix Scripts I wrote and applied to correct this issue: These scripts are provided wholly without warranty, utility, or verification beyond my own environment.

this should be in the NCM forum -- but the answer is no -- just SNMP NCM inventory reports basically walk a OID tree/table and save the results in the database for reports.

You need to include the Actual query generating the error -- I don't see Where NodeName like 'INSERT-SOME-VALUE' in the query you supplied.

Here is what I came up with: #!/usr/bin/perl use DBI; use XML::Simple; use SW::InformationService; use strict; my %vendors = ( '1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.18'=>['ProCurve Switch 2512 J4812A','HP','11.gif'], '1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.19'=>['ProCurve Switch 2524 J4813A','HP','11.gif'], '1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.23'=>['ProCurve…

InterfaceTraffic_Daily Also InterfaceTraffic_Hourly and InterfaceTraffic_Detail depending on the timeframe. There data may only in one of these tables. i.e. until it's rolledup from hourly into daily, it only exists in the hourly table. note: This particular design oddity (present in some tables) forces the person querying…

when you have about three times its current load -- a PE supports about 12K elements and you have about 4500

Licensing. really, this should be easier.

Lack of an API for IPAM and UDT that supports create/update/delete operations.

the latest Solarwinds Orion NPM Beta includes service now integration -- I have been crunched for time otherwise i would have tried this out. Our Service Management Tools teak created a web service in our service now instance -- Solarwinds invoke this using a http post from the alert to create a ticket... it works. inbound…

1. Identify the key value you want to make available to the AlertManager, and TAG the trap with the varbind data ($vbData3 in your case) 2. Identify the Up(SNMPv2-SMI:enterprises.39154.3.1.0.27)/down(SNMPv2-SMI:enterprises.39154.3.1.0.26) trap type and COLOR the trap with a unique color: this is what it looks like in my…

I make use of the 'all interfaces' widget, and look for interfaces with an interfaceindex of '-1' I can't really delete these, since there are probably statistics on the interfaces that i want to retain, so having found them they are then unmanaged.

I don't think EntityType is an attribute of Node -- it's used in the Create to determine what type of object is to be created; if you'[re querying the Orion.Nodes table every entry will be of type Orion.Nodes /RjL

"The default alert" which alert? Node down -- the nodes being polled is the controller so that is the wrong thing. If you mean 'Wireless access point is down' then you'll need to share some more information, FGA: Please follow the standard litany when giving a problem report. Do you have an alert defined on thin wireless…

I was wondering what the problem was with this, because I've never noticed this as an issue... As a workaround you can define a custom HTML widget with code in it like this: Sector: ${Sector}<BR> Building: ${Building}<BR> AssetTag: ${AssetTag}<BR> and it'll display the specific custom properties you want to display there…

Traps are not really supposed to be transformed into something that looks like the English language, they're really designed to be consumed by computers. if you read the MIB then it will explain the meaning of various fields. In this case whatever you are monitoring is making use of the RFC event MIB to indicate an…

UDT is broken in so many ways that it's making me cry; I have had cases for months and they have still not fixed the code. There are fundamental flaws in the way it works (I am not talking feature requests here, I am talking that design is not working issues. ). check for message like this: 2014-04-29 10:12:49,962 [ 27]…

Yes, you set the type in the unDP to be enumerated, and it should translate the values for you. (post screenshots of your UnDP for more help if you can't figure it out)

Impressive: it's has managed to achieve and measure sub-absolute-zero values.

yes. a) create a custom report that displays the information you need and embed it in the page b) create a custom SQL query resource and put the query in it like this: Select Caption,count(T.TrapID) as TrapCountfrom orion.nodes N inner join Orion.Traps Ton T.Nodeid=N.Nodeidwhere tag='IPV6_BGP_CONFIG_ERROR' and datetime >…

no, you cannot upgrade the pollers (much) later than you upgrade the application server -- you have to do it all at once.

a) Do the install b) shutdown everything c) move the files (something like) 1. Get the logical name of the data and log files: USE master SELECT name, physical_name FROM sys.master_files WHERE database_id = DB_ID('SolarWindsOrion'); this is what I get:…

I need this for a couple of the groups I have on my network... is the the groupID or group name available as a variable for the SWQL? if so we could devise some swql that would limit the syslog messages by members of the group.

I've seen this -- last time the fix was stop the job engine delete the .sdf file with the data in it copy the blank .sdf file to the same of the one you deleted restart the job engine. the SDF files (on my system) are in C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\JobEngine.v2\Data\ I believe this is a 'cache' of the jobs needed to be run…

I have seen this behavoirin the past, and it's been a syncronization problem with the database of nodes used by User Device Tracker and the main database itself. The job scheduler database file is corrupt - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support When should Job Engine and/or Collector .sdf files be replaced? -…

no, but it might be possible to use link the results in the UnDP table to the other orion nodes... e.g. by joining on the result value to node.ip_address you would have to do this in places where you want to use the result (normally alerts or custom HTML resources)

how long did you wait? You have to wait a stats polling period (default 10 minutes) for the numbers to get updated. Richard

Jumbo frame mismatch can cause this. Our SWO servers are configured for jumbo frames, and during the deployment we discovered a couple of thousand switches that were incorrectly configured. e.g. the HP5406 default to jumbo frames, but we had some older non-jumbo frame supporting switches between the management nodes and…
