Short answer: "yes". But it's really "kinda" But I'm still not clear on what you want to do. Do you really mean you want to "press a button" and have a new report created and then scheduled? Or do you mean you want to have an existing report automatically run and have the results delivered to a set of users? For the…

I think there is a way to do what you want, but I need more details.It won't be a batch file, but there are other automation options available that will do the trick. Be specific. Tell us what you what to accomplish.

Simplest answer is that your alert trigger would be: * Application Name is equal to <blahblah> * where ANY of the following are true* Application status is Critical (ie: one of the template thresholds has breached) * Application status is Down (ie: one of the services is no longer running) That's not the whole alert…

I'm going to give a high-level answer and if you need details, let me know and I'll hunt down some more specifics tomorrow: * play with the following commands (and parameters) until you get what you want:* uname -a, or uname -o or uname -v * lsb_release -a * cat /proc/version * cat /etc/*-release * modify your snmp agent…

1) Play with the online demo - demo.solarwinds.com. 90% of what you'll need to be comfortable with (different views, where certain actions like creating users, managing settings, etc can be located) are available. 2) as mentioned, install the 30-day demos into VM's. While it's not a supported configuration, my lab at home…

rob.hock is absolutely correct about the 100k element limit being a function of your database, not of any internal "lock" from the software. With regard to your original question - when you say "mutliple cores" do you just mean a server that has multiple CPU's (or a virtual server with multiple CPU/cores assigned to it) or…

We need to get a cage match between patrick.hubbard‌ and sqlrockstar‌ on this one. I'm taking bets and running the concession stand. Kosherhot dogs, popcorn and beer!!

You can hard-code the username/password into the URL line. That's the easiest way to do things for both kiosk and non-interactive NOC screens. http://<your orion server>/<blahblah>?AccountID=<username>&Password=<password> ?AccountID=USER&Password=PASSWORD

Just a little positive feedback here: We installed NPM 10.1.1 plus the hotfix in our lab, and tested it, and it works as advertised. We're considering a roll to production even though it's RC (any word on when it will be GA?). But for those on the fence, it works (or us, at least). - Leon

So your alert should be tweaked so it triggers when: UniqueName = "diskFailedmessage" (no threshold yet) Now the hard part. You need to make something actually break so you can get a positive confirmation on the error. You *might* be able to figure out the message from the MIB document, but in reality, until you see it…

Make sure the poller name matches in the UnDP system and the alert (case sensitive, etc) Now in your alert email, add a whole butt-load of variables so you can see what is getting detected and returned: Assignmentname is ${AssignmentName} OID is ${CustomPollers.OID} Uniquename is ${CustomPollers.UniqueName} Rate is…

Ah... I see where you are confused. You won't see something that says "Hard drive" (or whatever). The alert setup will look something like: * "Poller Name" is equal to <your poller name> * Value/Rate/Total is greater than (or equal to) <your threshold> Depending on the specifics of the display, you may also need to add…

Great question! My first guess is that this is related to Linux's habit of reserving 5% of all blocks for the root user (you can read about it here: disk usage - df -h shows incorrect free space - Ask Ubuntu ) but that's just a guess, and regardless of the reason it doesn't SOLVE the issue you're having. You have a few…

It depends on how long it lasts for. How long have you been seeing this?

This is going to take a little SQL-fu, but you can do it. The secret(s) is/are the ${SQL: } variable. The other secret is knowing that you always have the interfaceID no matter what kind of (interface) alert you build. So to grab the location, you would create something LIKE this: (CAVEATE CODER: it's not exact, you will…

Yes oh yes in the name of all that is good and holy and wonderful in the world YES! First, I want SolarWinds to add anything that moves them closer to Linux. I know, I know, getting Orion out of .Net is a pipe dream. But seeing more Linux-like options is always, in my not-so-humble opinion, A Good Thing (TM). With that…

If I understand your question correctly, the short answer is "no". But I also think you are mixing your metaphors somewhat by asking for Parent-Child so let me elaborate: * If you simply mean that you only want the Server_type property to be used when Device_type is "server" then you don't need a "relationship" between the…

You can do this with a custom query. It's a little kludgy because you are going to join a table that doesn't matter, but stick with me. The core of the query is getting the count of alerts. First, you HAVE to know the name of the alert before you start. For this example, we'll say the alert is named "ECKY_ECKY_ECKY_FTANG".…

So in the alert, you want to show all the children of the node? All the parents of the node? OR something else?

As dmatar said, you can find all the recordings here: thwackCamp Holiday thwackTacular 2014, or on our YouTube channel (solarwindsinc - YouTube). The report you are asking about was presented in the first session (Fill up your IT Toybox) . The report you are asking about is mentioned around the 22:40 mark, but you find it…

I've found this works best by using a powershell script (which is VERY friendly to your AD environment) rather than going with traps, Eventlog, or other techniques.

Disclaimer: I've attempted to view, use, and RFP Nimsoft in two previous jobs, but for various reasons never actually saw the tool in action. From what I understand (a neighbor of mine is an SE for CA and works with their monitoring products) Nimsoft is agent-based solution. Similar to Tivoli, what you are mostly getting…

I think that depends on what is taking a lot of time to respond. It may be the web server itself, and not anything with the underlying monitoring processes. Can you give us some more information on your setup: * Polling engine hardware - CPU, RAM, etc * SQL server hardware - CPU, RAM, etc (if it's not separate, just note…

I've always used an additional web server more to offload that overhead from the primary poller than because of any concern about the number of users on the site. So the operative question (in my mind) is: How hard will the primary poller be working to handle the actual monitoring load for NPM, NTA and NCM. Do you have any…

It doesn't seem like this would be something that happened unexpectedly. Is this a concern for you?

It can be done, but there's some work involved. * Create a new view (or multiple views) these can be used for the NPM summary page, APM summary page, etc. * Assign the view to the user in the Account Settings page I know that's pretty sketchy, but it should get you started.

I'm going with aLTeReGo on this one, but jumping ahead, MAKE SURE they login with: domainname\username ...or... username@domainname
