Try the fixes Jan gave me in this thread: vman 8.1 integrated with Sam and NPM , vcenter credentials not working

After you add a node with a script you need to add some pollers or it goes a bit weird. I dont know python but had something similar in the powershell version. Have a look and see if there's any steps after adding the node.

From experience you probably want to add some CASE statements, that said: Estimated days until full: ${N=SWQL;M=SELECT TOP 1 DaysToCapacityAvg FROM Orion.VolumesForecastCapacity WHERE InstanceID = ${N=SwisEntity;M=VolumeID} } (Using the last week of data)

You'll probably have to aim this question internally or to SLW support - It's definitely something that works in general. SNMP ports are 161 and 162 unless one of your clients/domains has setup something weird. Try using all IPs instead of hostnames if you havnt already, I wonder if there's some DNS-thing happening You can…

There's a basic HTTP monitor as default in SAM if you make a new template WPM and Pingdom and such are very detailed versions For stuff inbetween there's powershell options using Invoke Webrequest, probably a few options around thwack

* Create application monitor with a component with whatever the check is * Create alert, alert on Application or Component (recommend the former) * If Application Name = [Whatever you called it] AND Application Status = Down/Warning/Crit/Unknown Alert accordingly

Hi team, here's ours: The good: The bad: Almost all these non-UK ones are incorrect - Due to some baffling guesses on stuff in the location field in SNMP Challenges and limitations: . Moving a mouse quickly over these locations leaves windows everywhere (this may be fixed in later versions, havnt got there yet) . Took a…

How big we talking? Do you have anything scanning for event log data? - Had my transaction log balloon, turns out the event log table can get very, very messy and that was the main fault in my case Try checking for the largest tables in the regular DB, if any are massive that's a place to start

The dependencies feature isnt going to help you for latency here, at least not directly. Should be able to do it, how complicated it is depends on how complicated your network is, Without custom sql/swql: * If everything runs through a single bottleneck you could add some logic to the alert condition so that it doesnt…

The Agent's got the most detail, i've had a number of problems with it in the past though and havn't managed to get to the latest release yet, so It's mostly ruled out for now SNMP is the most lightweight and tends to be easiest to setup in my environment More recently I've been preferring WMI and RPC within application…

Hi There, I've been through basically this, should be sortable through one of a few methods 1) fix the iframes -> Probably download iframeallow on the wallboard pcs - This is obvjously sketchy and iframes are generally disallowed nowadays. Not recommended as it'll only work where that's installed. 2) use a new UI element…

I think there might be a feature request for this out there somewhere. Yes please. You can get stuff working like this via the API/SDK but it's a pain. Here's my attempt, meant to deal with nth tuesday/thursday windows, and with a starting data sheet. You wont have the same setup but might be able to get something useful…

Nah Ok well kinda, depends... llinteau12 has a solid checklist over here SolarWinds Administrators Checklist KMSigma​ I'm pretty sure wrote an article I read with a number of solarwinds healthchecks, cant find it now though A couple tasks like cleaning up old interfaces and volumes I believe go away in the current release,…

Beware a huge CPU spike on your polling engines if you turn that on for everything at once jblankjblank​'s suggestion works neatly, used that for ~50 nodes in a batch with no problems

I think I mostly understand your question, but i'm not completely there. I'm surprised the Members With Problems variable doesn't sort it out for you as that usually works for this type of problem. I've had very mixed success with a workaround to translate a SQL query to an email macro, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you…

Did you enable Application Dependency Mapping on anything?

Are you able to open one of the alert pages for an instance of that problem? ie - https://solarwinds/Orion/NetPerfMon/ActiveAlertDetails.aspx?NetObject=AAT:{SomeIDNumberHere} You should be able to see the status of the email trigger on there. Weird problem, cant say I've had an issue with it that i've noticed.

All your stuff and settings should remain the same, generally speaking. If stuff's broken in the UI immediately afterwards rerun the website config. All the important stuff is held in the DB and not on the app servers which is generally where the updates occur. You'll get a notification, maybe an email too when upgrades…

Grey, or Unknown status means the test wasn't completed. Some troubleshooting ideas: * Manage agents -> restart agent service on the node in question * Check the NextPollUTC date against the node. If it's in the past try:* Reset the JobEngine service on the poller it's attached to * Hit Poll Now a few times * Move the node…

Short answer: Yes Not sure UNDP is the best option. Something with SAM+alerting or custom properties+SWQL+some external scripting would work. Devil's in the details, mind

1. Do you mean: - What does the "unknown" status mean? (A: the test failed to complete) or - What causes the "Application Unknown State" event? (A: an application's status changed to unknown, see above) or Something else? 2. Usually a non-configured Appinsight monitor ends up as Unknown. I'd be surprised if there wasnt a…

If it's not worked before you probably need to configure squid.conf on the box to provide SNMP data (it's not enabled by default) If it has, try a restart of the SNMP or Squid process/daemon/etc

Not sure what you mean by Old Solarwinds and New Solarwinds in this case You can get exports of interface IDs in a report, a chart element, a SWQL/SQL query etc

Interesting question - Could you expand on the problem? Not sure I understand the issue yet. UNION can add another query, not sure what "inside the join" means in context, also not entirely sure how Orion handles UNION here. It doesn't seem like that would be required though.

Hi All, Just want to register I'm having the same issue. Just had it brought to my attention and we had a few servers with 3gb used. I'd like to move to the agent in-bulk at some point but it needs to be rock solid and it's not the first time i've had problems with a test batch

Hi Terry, Definitely doable. As David mentioned the Audit log is the 'ideal' place to search, however 12month retention on events would probably kill your DB. Perhaps worth scheduling it monthly. A way of doing it historically would be report on any constant historical statistic (status maybe) for Vendor = Windows and…

Download SWQL studio if you havnt already, it makes answering these questions easier 1) So in the AlertStatus table ActiveObject is the ID for whatever the alert is going off for. Alerts can go off for most typed of object so there's a bunch of IDs in there with numbers that could overlap. The ObjectType column defines the…

From experience your issue is going to be getting someone to tell you in advance what constitutes a "down" or "degraded" service, or more importantly what doesnt constitute that. If you've got a clean set of rules you can program that into groups. You are unlikely to get a clean set of rules. This is a human problem not a…

Now they would like me to move them in our summary... What i'd guess is you've got a custom summary view using either a custom property or groups or…

You're going to want to use the Custom Query resource a few times here. Here's one I use which someone else put up on thwack and I've edited a tad: SELECT o.AlertConfigurations.Name AS [ALERT NAME] ,'/Orion/NetPerfMon/ActiveAlertDetails.aspx?NetObject=AAT:' + ToString(o.AlertObjectID) AS [_LinkFor_ALERT NAME] ,CASE WHEN…
