WINNT

I was told by support that you need to use commas, and not semi-colons. Commas work for me.

Is the PollingCompletion value include all polling, i.e. ICMP, and SNMP (volumes, statistics, applications, custom pollers)? Thanks.

Would this retain my historical data?

Thanks! That did the trick!

In Orion v9, this doesn't work as well due to the way the new UnDP operates. In v8, if there was no data in the most recent poll, "no data" would be displayed, but in v9, it will show the last value that was successfully polled. This will show duplicate VM guests since the list of guests are dynamic. You can make it work…

I don't have the alert notes widget. Do you have a link please?

Did you ever find a fix for this? I agree it is minor, but would be nice to have it fixed. Also, is there a way to display ack comments on the alert page? Thanks.

Hmmmm, I get the same results.

This report seems to be for the past 30 days and not the previous month. Is everyone else getting the same results? Thanks.

I upgraded my 8.1 installation today and so far the only issue I had was upgrading the Application Monitor module. It errored out every time I tried to install it. I removed it from Add/Remove programs and then installed it successfully.

The Administrator guide is a pretty good place. Here is a link to the on-line manual: www.solarwinds.net/.../wwhelp.htm Look under Alert Variables and Examples.

I have seen this when permissions are out of whack. Try to login to the web page using an Orion user account and not using domain\username.

I would like the functionality as well.

I have the same issue. I get no memory or application statistics for AIX.

The Lotus Domino memory utilization has been an issue for me for over three years. When I bring it up to SolarWinds support, they blame Domino and say I need to bring the issue up with IBM. If anyone has a work-around, I'd appreciate it. I was considering installing Net-SNMP to see if I get the same results, but haven't…

I have noticed the same thing. I have to remember to close the system manager before going to meetings, or I get back with many red dots or x's on my graphs.

Yes, this is a known issue. The two ways to clear the stuck CPU stat is to either remove the CPU resource and then add it back in, or to restart the NetPerfMon service. In my experience, this happens to Windows and Unix.

Yes, we are running one remote poller across a WAN to the DB server. Here are our specs: (1) Orion V8.5.1 SP1 SLX running Web Site/poller/v8.5 Application monitor (2) Orion V8.5.1 SP1 SLX remote pollers MS SQL2000 x86 SE 40,000+ elements All servers are x86 Windows 2003 SP2

We accomplish this exact function using ASP.NET and the gridview tool. This allows us to edit the custom properties for inventory updates as well as for alert suppression during scheduled maintenance. For other scheduled maintenance (i.e. Windows patching groups) we use scripts that use osql.exe or sqlcmd.exe to put…

As far as alert suppression, I didn't like the idea of unmanaging a node, since you stop gathering statistics during this time. I created alert suppressions (actually trigger conditions) using custom properties. I created AlertSuppression_SchedStartTime, AlertSuppression_SchedStopTime, AlertSuppression_SchedReason, which…

Any update on Orion Syslog being compliant with RFC3164?

Oh my! All that just to restart a service? I would recommend using the method I suggested in previous posts (using SC.exe, and taskkill.exe if needed, and granting the Orion system account access to your remote systems), but if you want to use WMI, then I would recommend testing your script using the actual local system…

I guess I shouldn't have installed the HotFix if I wasn't having the issue. It appears that the HotFix 4 actually caused my alerting service to crash soon after starting. I reverted back to my original binaries, but it still crashes

You can run a SQL query on the AlertDefinitions and AlertLog tables. Change the YourDeviceName to a device that you have been alerted on as changing. If you have the word "change" in the e-mail message, it should show you the alert name. You can change the word "change" to something unique in that alert name. As a rule of…

Since they all have the same volume name, you should be able to exclude it by adding a condition group like this: ------------------------------------------------------ Trigger Alert when none of the following apply Caption contains SomeUniqueValue ------------------------------------------------------ Be sure to have the…

I have always wondered why SolarWinds would use an actual Internet domain in the reply-to address. This could be a security risk if Orion admins would forget to change this address and e-mail would get returned to nobody.com.

We are using custom properties for the AM processes in order to customize some of our alerts. The support team will take different actions depending on the process. Since Orion doesn't allow you do this in the Custom Property Editor, you have to create your own fields in the applications table. 

I regularly get the '1' in place of our North America map. I assumed it was because it had so many layers of maps (each state was its own map, and submaps below those). I just wait a few minutes and after a few auto-refreshes, the map reappears.

Make sure you are asking for the correct field. Some are CustomPollerStatus.Status, and others could be CustomPollerStatus.Rate, etc.

I use this feature without any problems, but you do have to use the proper syntax. I need to know the following details: 1. What are you monitoring (Node status, app status, volume status, custom mib status, etc) 2. What is your exact alert action syntax that uses the variables? i.e. "D:\Scripts\TracertDownNode-ALERT.bat"…
