thanks alot for the information, i will report back once i have put it all together - think i will trim the powershell script down a bit first, or maybe split it out. thanks again Ian

hi mate - i do already use that template - but it doesnt tell me if a DB moves?

Hi Stephen, Thanks - yeah finally got a response from a level 2 person. Some SQL changes scripts were run in the end. I have a question. If i have an alert that alerts on an old snapshot. it fires - i then delete the snapshot and then once the snapshot is deleted - acknowledge and clear the alert. It will then refire the…

So Solrawinds is polling at a specific interval, and each poll will collect data. This data is then plotted on the graph. You might well have the polling set to 120 seconds, but you also need to look at the retention of statistics - if you are planning to use alot of historical data, you will need to increase the…

thanks for the reply mate. Alerts are enabled, as if i create a new alert from scratch it works. The only thing in the log that might point to a problem is this: 2012-08-21 02:06:49,936 [AlertCheckingThread] WARN Error - Error in UpdateRowsThatAreTriggered() - GetNetObjects System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904):…

Yeah its mainly trying to achieve a 'single pain of glass' - all alerts coming from the same place etc. I've ended up changing all the servers to SNMP, then adding a SAM template to monitor the WMI disk queues. This seems to work, but i do lose some of the audit information like Windows Updates, which is a bit annoying -…

Thanks for that, was hoping there was another way of doing it without paying for additional software / having additional templates! I guess for now we will just have to rely on the openmange notifications. Thanks!

Mate, that is perfect - thank you very much

boo! cheers for the heads up

OK, so here is what i think have to do. I want to store the output of my PS command in a variable, so $raw = get-cacheclusterhealth Then i need to match the text $throttledmatches = select-string "Throttled" *= [0-9\.]+" -input $raw -all matches | foreach {$_.matches} I then need just the numbers $nums = select-string…

thanks - i'll have a read, i think i thought this would be easy

Just come across this when looking to do something similar - but the custom HTML isn't working (guessing it might have changed in the 3 years since the post!) Is there anyway you could update this at all? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that i never had this issue before NPM 12 - i.e. was able to send a disk utilisation with the c:\ in it - but now can't! Work around is: ${SQL: SELECT replace(Caption, '\', '\\') FROM Volumes WHERE VolumeID = ${VolumeID}} on ${NodeName} is ${VolumePercentUsed}. I have that in the Message Displayed when…

Excellent thank you

Thanks for that - excellent. One other question - on the date added, can i do this in NPM too - so i can get a table for all nodes that have been added in the last 30 days? Appreciate that its not a VIM question!

Hi - thanks for the reply - as the scree shots show - i look at the node view, or the VM view in VMAN - neither show an issue.

Yeah thats what i thought- but i have no idea what the OID is.

OK, so actually i lied about running under the admin account Used an account with permissions to run the Solarwinds Alerting Engine service and the script works. Just thought i'd whack it in here in case anyone else needs to do it!

yeah, not exactly what i want - as the servers will show where you are regardless, we switch hosting between sites, so it would be useful to see where we are currently hosting from. Thanks

hi thanks for the reply If i edit the template, i don't get the same as you. some of the monitors are greyed out, and if i expand Average Document Indexing Time: Which is a bit weird!

The contains box is wrong by the looks of it. remove the Event ID: bit and just have the number 1205 This worked for me

Sorry, meant Asset Inventory

How do you limit a view to a set of resources Steven?

Thanks for the reply, but that might be a little too complicated! So you would set the alert up as usual, with the action to fire a powershell script, this script would then handle the ganthering of the event log and send the email out? I'll be honest and say that my powershell skills are pretty limited, if you fancy…

thanks for the reply, still has been resolved. Have tried reloading all of the performance counter xml files but still not working. Any other thoughts? Cheers! E

Hi mate, here are the answers: * What version of SAM are you currently running? Latest version 5.1 * What version of NPM are you currently running? NPM 3.0.1 * What OS version are you running on? Windows 2008 R2 * How many component monitors are you currently monitoring with SAM? It was about 50 - but i reduced it to 3…

thanks, will give that a whirl. One other thing that i have noticed is that i seem to have a second polling engine that i no longer use. I had to set it up as part of some testing i was doing to resolve an issue ages ago - and the server it was on is no longer up. Is there an easy way to remove this polling engine?

i can see where they are coming from with the addition of a powershell script - but my process is that now, the slack alerrt is completely generic, and the same for each alert regardless. The specfic information (cpu % etc) is always put in the alert message - so it can be used in any alert notification. add that to the…

i like to think my post was the inspiration for this good work chaps

Love this - thank you. Is there an easy way to change the scope of this? i have a few SQL servers that will always report high memory usage - so i don't want to see them - could i change the scope based on a custom property? thanks!
