That's a fantastic addition. I'm making a note of it. (#SeeWhatIDidThere #CouldntHelpMyself)

Nothing is occurring to me off the top of my head. This is something I would open a support ticket about, because they'll be able to get the right engineers involved.

You can now find the XLSX version here: and the ODS version here:

I'll upload two other formats (XLSX and ODS) shortly. Thanks for the feedback.

Actually, yes! It would our SolarWinds Lab episode that aired on Wed Feb 10. You can watch it here: SolarWinds Lab #40: Awesome Alert Integration: Slack, Service Desk and More - YouTube

These are awesome, and you (and your company) get props for having a sense of humor as well as a cool Slack integration! The last chapter of of the manual talks about EXACTLY this - putting more information into an alert helps everyone (and costs you almost NOTHING except a few extra minutes to develop the alert message.).…

Here's a screen shot. Don't forget that if you are using the query verbatim, you'll need to name this component "Win_Processor_Queue_Len. Also there's been a significant improvement from @"jbiggley" https://thwack-upgrade.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-177271 In any case here's the screen shot:

Good catch! The polling intervals for this test were: * ping (plus interface and disk up/down) every 2 minutes * standard statistics every 5 minutes * interface statistics every 7 minutes * disk statistics every 15 minutes

I'm sad that I can't "LIKE" this a hundred more times. I know that sqlrockstar‌ is going to appreciate the data!

I'm pretty sure KMSigma​ has some cool widget tricks up his sleeve. And thank you for the kind comments. More to come, for sure.

We tested this alert out for about 3 months in a large (10,000 node) environment and found that we were cutting a lot of false alarms (around 1-200 per day). By "false alarm" I mean that this alert would trigger but we would have CPU, RAM, etc data for the node for that time period. I'm not sure if it was because the…

This looks very similar to something I know jbiggley​ was working on. You two should compare notes!

As I responded over here (), this will tell you how long it's been since an alert that contains the word "updown" in it's title has triggered. So you need to create a device down alert that includes "updown" (ie: winserver_updown, all_devices_updown, or whatever). OR you could change the query to match the title of YOUR…

See my other reply, but it's not used in the old Win32 UnDP utility. It's part of the new "Manage Pollers" feature under Settings.

What an elegant and simple solution to a long-standing problem (automatic grouping, categorization, etc). I bet Joshua Biggley can think of a few uses for this!

I've seen this before. Restarting SolarWinds (yeah, I know...) should allow everything to re-initialize and the custom properties to show up. If you are using an older version of SolarWinds (10.6 or so), and have an additional web server, you may need to run a special command to syncronize between the primary poller and…

blank just means there are no nodes in that state. It was harder to read with a bunch of zeros

In addition to what wluther‌ mentions, make sure that you are monitoring all the polling engines. Otherwise they won't show up in the report.

It sounds like you have some very specific tasks in mind - deleting the database, possibly re-installing software, etc. I would suggest you either: * Open a ticket with SolarWinds and see if they can walk you through what you are trying to accomplish * Bring in a consultant to do some "ride along" work - where they do the…

how did you generate this report? First I tested the SQL in MS SQL Management Studio. Then I created it using the Report Writer utility on the polling engine. where on orion npm can we create this report? See answer, above is it in the database? if so..where can we find this database in orion? I'm not sure what you are…

You mean how do you use this report? You download the .OrionReport file and put it in your C:\program files(x86)\Solarwinds\orion\reports folder. It should show up in your report page on the website after that.

Not at the time the server is added, but you can (you're going to hate me here) create an alert. Create the custom property with options for WAN, Trunk, wireless, ignore, and 01unassigned. Make 01unassigned the default. To make life easy, you can also create a custom property that gives broad categories to devices -…

I see what you are looking for, but you get to it by going from the other direction: You have an alert for "when a server reboots", but you only want it to apply for PARTICULAR servers. Create a custom property called "server reboot" which is a yes/no. Now modify the server reboot alert to include "if custom property…

I've never seen this behavior. The APEs talk to the primary polling engine and the database, but not to each other AFAIK.

You're on the right track. for your first set of conditions, you won't have a trigger. Just a scope. Then go down to the bottom, expand the "advanced options", and check the "enable complex conditions" option. NOW you can add a new section, which lets you pick "Node" as the object type, and you can add trigger conditions…

Amazing list. This should go into a more formal "SolarWinds Admin Run-Book". Nice job!
