WINNT

While this does work, it is not supported by SolarWinds. Support would not help me with my case when I had scheduled graphs e-mailed to me. 

Orion and your batch file are working as designed. It is running the batch file under the localsystem account. Processes running under the system account do not appear on the server console. The reason your psexec script doesn't work is because the localsystem account on your Orion server doesn't have access to the remote…

Yes, this will work as well. The reason I didn't suggest changing the service account credentials is that I didn't think SolarWinds would support it. That's why I put the system account in a group that had access to all my servers. I also don't have to worry about managing passwords or account lock-outs. I believe I…

This appears to be a bug in the Orion SysLog module. It appears that the "Discard the Syslog Message" action doesn't drop the message and exit. You might want to replace the discard action with "Stop Processing Syslog Rules" action. 

I have had this issue and have opened multiple tickets. I currently have 8.1 in production and 8.5 in test. Both have the same issue. Very frustrating because we have had heat issues in various computer rooms and these random polls are not helpful. I have a report showing our servers and their internal temperatures and…

I have verified that SOLARWINDS_WEBSITE has full control as well as everyone and propagated it down. There is something more going on since my style sheets are screwed up. In my test environment after upgrading from 8.1 to 8.5 my style sheets were broken, but after hotfix 1, it was fixed. In my production environment, I…

Just FYI, I found this resource which might be helpful: cwashington.netreach.net/.../view.asp Let us know if anybody is able to get this to work as we're exploring the possibility of making this a built-in capability in the next release of APM. HTH I think people are making this more difficult than it really is. This is…

 

I started over from scratch with a new resource and now it works. Is there a way to change the "update" button in the node details so that it sets the value to NULL when you clear the field? Thanks.

I don't quite follow. The alert action is supposed to execute a batch file located on a remote system that starts a service on the Orion server? The syntax NET START only works on the computer running the command. If you want to start a service on a remote computer you will need SC.exe or PSSERVICE.exe. 

I am having the same issue with the maps not displaying after the upgrade from v8.1 to v8.5. I have tried everything support has asked to no avail. My style sheets are missing as well (formatting lost in reports view for example). I really need to get my maps and style sheets working again. My installation of Orion and the…

I was more interested in the exact text of the Orion action. Does is look something like this? "D:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\AlertActions\TracertDownNode-ALERT.bat" ${NodeName} In your case: "D:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\AlertActions\StartService-ALERT.bat" ${IP_Address} Are you also passing the service name as a…

This worked, except that it only works for one "Down Alert" resource. I have two sections of down devices based on the SQL query filter. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I made a copy of 03-DownNodes.Resource located in your "...\NetPerfMon\Resources\1-1-SummaryReports" and called it 03-DownNodesAndStatusNotNull.Resource. I then edited the file using the suggestions from Vic and Network Guru and added my own functionality. This will not only display the nodes that are not up, but also…

My database is 44 GB and it took a little less than two hours to complete.

Yes, this was with the Basic alerting engine. That was the only alerting at the time. When the Advanced Alert Engine was designed, it should have had this suppression feature. It is no longer available in the Basic alerting engine.

I have done this with our monthly Windows patching. I created a custom property in Nodes called "AlertSuppression_Patching" that will suppress alerting if the value isn't empty. I then created another custom property in Nodes called "PatchSchedule" that contains the patching group name. For example a server might be in the…

What is the action you are running? It might have something to do with spaces in the command, or permissions.

I guess I don't care how it is done, but it needs to be configurable for multiple paths. I don't want alerts suppressed for a device if an upstream router is down while there is a fail-over router up. If that makes sense. I need it fully customizable. I also don't want to create a map for each location since that would…

I don't understand why this still hasn't been addressed. This suppression was working fine and was a neccessity for our 1000 remote sites. Now that this functionality is gone, the wrong support groups are being paged. This is such a simple concept and it worked like a charm. It almost seems like this code was developed by…

I am still having problems with migrating the historical data from AM to APM. The migration tool trys to create a separate "application" for each process on each server. Each of my servers has anywhere from 20 processes to 100 processes monitored in AM, and with APM I want to continue gathering stats on these proceses. I…

I recently started receiving the same error. I was busy with other issues, and haven't had time to open a ticket yet. I am also running APM ALX 1.0 with SP1.

aLTeReGo, please get more details from your Unix team. We have really had issues with this, and nobody has been able to provide details on how to get it to work. Since your shop is successfully monitoring AIX, please provide AIX versions, and how the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB was configured on these servers. You can get the…

I created a folder named AlertActions where I keep my batch files and executables. Here is the alert action: "D:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\AlertActions\StartService_YourServiceName.bat" ${NodeName} The batch file looks like this: ------------------- cut ------------------ sc \\%1 start YourServiceName ---------------…

I ran the polling tuner on all pollers and ran a repair to no avail. The repair actually broke my Orion installation. It removed all my custom resources as well as making me run the "Update Report Schemas" again so my reports run properly. If anyone ever tells you to run a repair on Orion, make sure you have everything…

Just to be clear on the functionality needed: The previous global alert suppression for the basic alerting engine allowed for multiple custom properties to be checked for status and suppressing alerts if any of them were down. So going forward, I would like at least that functionality in the advanced alerting engine. So if…

I have had the same issue with the Alerting service getting hung and needing restarted in order for Orion to function properly. While Orion is hung, there is no alerting. Once the alerting service is restarted, a handful of delayed alerts come through. I had my own work-around by creating a SysLog action to automatically…

I removed my post as to not confuse anyone. I posted to the wrong thread!

I am running a SQL query in 8.5 and it is only returning the first result. Is anyone else experiencing this?
