I think you can use ISNULL() or COALESCE() as follows (please test this - I'm doing this off the top of my head) ${SQL:Select ISNULL(CircuitID, 'no circuit found') From Interfaces WHERE Interfaces.NodeID = ${NodeID} AND CircuitID IS NOT NULL}

Here are some instructions that go more in-depth. * Set up the command that gets you the OS info you want As described above, you might use uname, or lsb_release, or some other method. The upshot is that you want the command to output the OS name. For example the two commands I tried out where:* Ubuntu: uname -v | awk '{…

We would LOVE for you guys to jump on Office Hours to discuss this. The next one is Monday at 1:00pm Central Time. http://www.thwack.com/OfficeHours See you there!

I just re-read your question and realized I should add this: If you go to Manage Nodes, you can select multiple nodes and change the: * Node status polling interval (ie: ping) * Statistics collection interval (ie: standard CPU, RAM, etc) * Topology report information (which I didn't talk about before and I'm not going to…

Settings, Polling Settings From there you adjust the timers and click "Re-Apply..." (polling intervals for the up/down, or polling statistics interval for the data collection) That will change your polling settings sitewide.

Nice work. What we found in our environment is that sometimes the LastSystemUptimePollUTC *WASN'T* getting updated even when SNMP was running. I know that sounds crazy, but we were seeing a lot of false alarms on this logic Which is why I went with checking the CPU statistics instead.

As long as the polling engine is connected (or able to connect) to that location, then yes.

"Am I way off bass on this one"? Holy Mackeral, you got it hook line and sinker! It's almost like you are fishing for a compliment. Given your lack of experience, I thought you would have had a halibut time but your good ideas bubbled to the top. (I'll stop now. For more punny fun, see this video by Kip Addotta (no…

OK, that's good information. I have a couple more questions that may point to the issue: 1) where is "on the webpage" - do you mean the Message Center (on the menus, go to Alerts & Messages, Message Center) or just on the screen in the alert builder. Because the 2nd option (the alert screen) WON'T show you the populated…

I did some digging and the fact is that setting up this alert is pretty simple - no SQL needed. When you create an alert using the "Property to Monitor" of "VirtualMachine" then you can get the CPU of the guest, OR the actual CPU consumption on the host machine. Simple trigger, Virtual Machines, Current CPU and Memory, CPU…

Tell me more about these odd errors without the MSMQ port open. I've got 3 remote pollers across firewalls and/or VPN's where if I didn't explicitly request the port, it is for sure NOT going to be there. They (the pollers) SEEM to be doing ok, but what should I be looking for?

Glad to hear it's fixed (for now, at least).

No it doesn't (migrate the schedules). The report scheduler is actually a (fairly klunky) interface to Windows scheduler. So unless you know a way to export/import windows scheduler jobs there isn't a migration path. I'm not saying there's NOT a Windows scheduler export/import option. I just haven't ever looked for it.

Agreed.

Those fields don't look NPM-ish. Is this a different product?

I'm confused - do you want CircuitID or CarrierName?

Even though he specializes in DPA, I will flag sqlrockstar‌ to see if he has any thoughts.

While I haven't been vocal about the CPE one way or the other, I would greatly appreciate being part of an RC test for any update to this (very necessary) toolset.

I looked, and I don't see an audit event for this. But I'm flagging aLTeReGo​ to see if he knows differently. If you have a small number of engines, you could do something a little brute force but simple: Orion Object: Polling Engine Field: Display Name Display Name <> "serverA" AND Display Name <> "serverB" AND Display…

In those cases (and yes, I've had them), I think the most expedient thing is to explain to them (and cc: your stakeholders and supporters) what you will no longer be able to provide, including (but not limited to) * Any new reports * Any scheduled report emails * Any new alerts * Any new views or accounts that require…

I vote that sneakernet's answer is correct. Go ahead and tag it so he gets his points! Great work!

Good point. Agents don't kill monitoring teams. Monolithic companies with bloated pricing structures and 90's era toolsets that have never been updated do. Well, that and giant flying hyper-intelligent sharks with frikkin' laser beams strapped to their heads.

Short answer: Scanning a network is poller-agnostic - the scan just happens (usually from the primary poller). Once nodes are discovered you can assign those nodes to your various polling engines. If you scan a node which has already been discovered, it will appear in the scan as "duplicate nodes" and the default is to…

Honestly that doesn't look right.You may have corruption in the database, or you may need to (somehow) refresh the volume info for each node. aLTeReGo​ bshopp​ do either of you have thoughts about this?

Your If you go into the third tab of your alert, that's where the email server settings are set up - what your email server is, what port, etc. including what account and password you use to connect to said email server to send out your emails. Now some places allow anonymous connections to the SMTP server. BUT... assuming…

I uploaded it to content exchange a while ago, but here's an updated version:

Every one of the UnDP pollers I have running right now (~50) have blank polling interval values. Trust me, they're pulling data! If you click the "more about polling interval" link next to that field, you are taken to the web page that explains what I said - if you leave it blank, it uses your default node (or interface)…

It seems challenging to want an alert that triggers individual messages when the affected devices are less than x, but a single message when more than y, simply because of the contradictory logic involved. HOWEVER, you CAN put the list of affected objects into the message regardless of how many caused the alert to trigger:…

Here's how to set up "mute" until it becomes a feature: . It's not schedule-able however, unless you use a database trigger of some kind. which isn't outside the realm of possibility. Or you could do it from another machine using the Orion SDK.

Nope, JiriPsota wasn't missing your point, although he may not have stated his answer clearly. The "Test" button doesn't really test THAT criteria. It pulls up ANY criteria (ie: any universal device poller) and just takes it as-is. Meaning, the "test" button does not actually TEST the alert trigger at all. It doesn't see…
