It is possible, though this would need to be done via custom script since this information is not easily queryable because it must be correlated across multiple WMI classes. Below are some examples that you can use to get you started. It's important to note that there are always many logged in sessions for various system…

Triggered alerts within the Orion Advanced Alert Manager must be associated with a single object/entity. You cannot configure an alert to notify only when two or more entities match the trigger condition.

You may need to reboot the server to release the lock before running the Configuration Wizard.

We have recently posted a Varnish Cache template in the Content Exchange.

This is outlined in the Administrators Guide section linked below. Essentially you select the layout from [Home -> Environment] from the resource you added to an existing view. Make any changes necessary to that view and then save the changes to that layout. The AppStack resource added to the view that is associated with…

I am having some really bizarre issues after I updated all of my Orion modules. Then it's very unlikely that issue is related to you.

With that said, please open a case with support so we can track this issue appropriately. At a minimum we may need you to gather a diagnostic to better troubleshoot the issue. Opening a case with support will also ensure that you're notified when a fix that addresses this issue becomes available. Please remember to…

There is no requirement to uninstall the previous version of any Orion product prior to upgrading. You simply upgrade over the previous version.

Are these servers using the net-snmp (Linux) agent? I see the exact same thing with Domino 5 on Windows Server 2003

I got a reply from support. You currently cannot pass variables to an external program as parameters. That's pretty disappointing. I'm also interested in this functionality.

Can you post a screenshot of your Windows Event Log Monitor configuration, as well as a screenshot of the Windows Events you are wanting to be alerted on? Probably a better option instead of manually configuring this component monitor (provided this event exists in your Event Logs) is to use the Real-Time Event Viewer and…

So pretty much as I suspected. What happens if the page doesn't return at all, and we hit the Application Monitor Polling TImeout before we get any response? Sorry, I forgot the most likely scenario. In the event there is no response from the server at all the component monitor will return in down state.

Theoretically you should be able to using ${SQL:SELECT'} to build your own custom SQL query, but this would be a fairly complicated query requiring several inner joins to work properly. This is a something probably better suited for the Alerts Lab.

What is NMIS monitoring to determine the host is in a degraded state?

If you are concerned about opening TCP Port 445, then I would suggest either configuring the Windows Firewall, router access control lists, or Firewall policies to only allow TCP Port 445 traffic from the Orion server to that host. Alternatively, you could install the Orion Agent on that machine and not open any ports to…

WMI is a fickle mistress. It uses a broad range of ports to communicate. This can however be limited down to a finite number to make firewall policies and router access control lists easier to manage. Below is a blog post I wrote on the matter that should give you full insight into the problem, as well as several different…

I would agree that you're hot on the trail with this thread. adding an AD group in a STIG environment--"No domain specified. Please enter search string in the format: Domain\Group…

Yes, you must be using SNMPv2 or v3 since tables aren't supported in SNMPv1.

Yes Vista is supported, but someone correct me if I'm wrong, UAC must be disabled for the toolset to function properly under Vista. This might be your issue with Windows 7.

Each browser handles this differently. Some better than others. In order to bring users new capabilities, and improve web performance and usability, we are in the process of modernizing the Orion web interface. This new technology renders web pages in web browser, rather than on the server itself, which means eventually no…

The component message field is not currently supported via the Report Writer as a native value but you could create this report using an Advanced SQL Report. If writing SQL reports isn't your thing you can find help in the Report Lab here on Thwack.

Is the server being monitored in the same domain as the Orion server? Can you map a drive from the Orion server to that Domain Controllers administrative share "C$" using the credentials you provided above?

This could only be accomplished by creating a custom SQL query against the Orion Database using SAM's SQL User Experience Monitor. This information isn't stored historically (E.G. there were 5 yesterday and 6 today) to chart/trend on a chart. The SQL User Experience Monitor would run the query, gather the result, and store…

Yes, this vulnerability is based on a very old library used for pie charts in the old System Manager. It effects all current, and previous releases of Orion. This library is no longer used by Orion anymore, and will be removed entirely in a future release.

Why do you believe a domain administrator account is required for WPM? Administrative access is typically only required for installation. Beyond that however only normal non-privileged user accounts are typically used.

Correct. WMI will provide significantly more information over SNMP. For SNMP we use the hrSWInstalled "1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6" OID from the HOST-RESOURCES-V2-MIB which should list all applications installed, provided those applications properly update the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"…

You can certainly copy the file as part of the PowerShell script to the local Orion server, but there's no advantage/savings to doing that vs simply opening it up directly over the wire. Essentially the same thing is happening. E.G. the entire log file is copied across the wire, either directory to memory in the case of…

The Agent simply detects if the endpoint requires a reboot for any reason. Typically it's related to Windows Updates that have been installed but not yet applied until a reboot is completed. If the agent is fully functional already then agent upgrades should not be impeded by the fact that the endpoint is awaiting a…
