1. open a case with Solarwinds support, because oif you follow this advice and it works you might as well let them know what you did and have them think about it becoming a default. note: for most installs you do not do this, on if the BL is dying with out of memory errors. C:\Program Files…

can you get this added to the documentation that is linked to when the report does not display graph data. i.e. SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Data is not available on web console charts

What core hotfixes do you have installed? we're now at hotfix5, and it seems stable to me. In our case it was the issue with the 'Active Alerts' widget, and removing that from web pages stabilized things until we got a fix

The Failover Engine product was ceased support with less than 1 year notice.

note: Nodeid is the key to link tables together for much of Orion, one should really void joining on non-key columns. Also, using joins in custom SQL queries is fraught with challenges because the RESET condition is hard for most people to code correctly. I would write the trigger query as: Where NODEID in ( select Nodeid…

Here are three authentication traps received by my NPM install that illustrate this. * from a cisco router usefully included the bad.person.ip.address (highlighted) * from a switch of some kind told me nothing * from a Juniper EX4200 switch told me it was a juniper EX4200 switch and its IP address (which is useful since it…

if you have additional polling engines you can poll additional contexts on different polling engines. this is a very expensive solution.

I would strongly recommend against using getNext unless you are prepared to deal with unexpected values (i.e. check the OID of the returned value is 'reasonable') I have no idea why the developers of the UnDP think that using getNext is a good default. as an example IF someone changes the make of UPS from (say) APC…

a) run the Business layer processes in separate processes; honestly this should be more easily configured / enabled automatically if your install is larger than a certain size. there is a switch in the business layer DLL XML config file for this I'm in the middle of a POC right now, or I would have upgraded to 3.2.2 which…

Thank you for the response...good to know on the actual OID that is being used. So are we saying then that this particular OID does not collect the offending device address that initially provoked the Trap? Yes, that is correct I would think there would be the entire raw data dump of the trap....and somewhere within there…

like I said, I only manage the NPM piece; the service-now piece is coded by someone else in javascript. I use custom SQL for the alert like this: WHERE ( (Nodes.Status = '2') AND (Nodes.isLab = 0) ) AND (select count (*) from Nodes n2 where n2.Status = '2' AND n2.isLab = 0) < 100 so we only create more node down alerts…

thank you; to fix the nodes I executed the following in SQLStudio: insert into [dbo].[NodesCustomProperties] (Nodeid) SELECT nodeid FROM [dbo].[NodesData] where nodeid not in (select nodeid from nodesCustomProperties ) It should be noted that this cascades into the NCM product as well, since it doesn't seem to be able to…

My idea is out there to be voted on. This should be configurable by the systems administrator -- we should be able to update a table of sysObjectIds and specify the vendor, Machinetype, and vendorIcon at least.

+1 for Richard interested as well.

The fastest way to speed up your solarwinds install is to put the SQL server disks on something that support really high levels of IOPS. e.g. separate mirrored SSDs for tempdb, log, data Our SQLservers have over 20 disks in raid 10, and 96GB of RAM... if I can get budget we'll rebuild a new SQLserver onto a SSD, and then…

I find that it takes less time to re-install all of the additional polling engines for four products than for Solarwinds Technical support to answer the phone.

your URL doesn't match the one tdanner gave above -- you have an Invoke missing from it.

njoylif​ provided the answer for that below.. use the ${SQL syntax: something like: ${SQL:select t.tag Traps t where t.NodeID=${NodeID} and t.Tag like '%CriticalSW%' and t.DateTime between DATEADD(MI,-6,getdate()) and GETDATE() )} One spends a lot of time in the database editor trying out queries doing alerting from traps…

vbData3 in the original question was the VarBind Data IN the trap that corresponded to the caption of the external object in Solarwinds that the alert was to be raised on. in your specific case you want to raise the alert for the current nodeid that snt you the trap... in which case your condition ought to be: the trigger…

on a cisco router if you specify the bandwidth statement on the interface definition it reports it in the SNMP. e.g. (a cisco vlan interface) interface GigabitEthernet0/1.105 bandwidth 50000 results in the following reported interface speed: IF-MIB::ifDescr.7 = STRING: GigabitEthernet0/1.105 IF-MIB::ifType.7 = INTEGER:…

Pedantically that is the wrong use of the word 'should' in the circled text if Solarwinds meant MUST I think we need to ask for RFC2119 Compliance in documentation: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt /RjL

In order to the added node to get synced through to the NCM database you need to have an additional step: $swis->Invoke('Cirrus.Nodes', 'AddNodeToNCM', [$nodeid]); where $nodeid is the node id returned from the create step above. see:SDK 1.5 invoke with Perl ? ** note ** you might need to get the sysobjectID for the node…

What type of nodes are these? this value has been there since I've started using SWO, but i think it only gets populated for SNMP nodes. ICMP nodes are probably NULL. (I have no WMI nodes)

What do you mean by "Multiple IP support polling for single node" -- if you mean able to poll the interface IP addresses then why is this a good idea? In most networks on routers one normally assigns an ip address to the loopback interface, and then use routing protocols to distribute that out: You don't need to be able to…

I find the Solarwinds Database manager sufficient for most SQL queries. Anytime I see someone suggest a view for solving a database problem I know they've not understood the problem. This query will not generate an editable result set: SELECTInterfaces.NodeID AS NodeID, Interfaces.InterfaceID AS InterfaceID,…

this perl code: my $sqlCommand="Insert into NodesCustomProperties (NodeID) VALUES ($node)"; my $NCPrv= $xs->XMLin($swis->Invoke ('Orion.Reporting','ExecuteSQL',[$sqlCommand])); is not working; the error returned is: 2015-05-13 16:40:03,209 [54] ERROR SolarWinds.InformationService.Core.InformationService - (null) Exception…

We went live with our Service-Now implementation almost a month ago... NPM sends the Configuration-item, and some associated information in a http-post and a script picks that up to creates (or re-opened a resolved) incident record I only own the NPM piece, and the person owning the service-now portion felt comfortable…
