Usually this is due to an incorrect (Bandwidth) setting on the device, causing it to report a slower speed than it's actually configured for (ie: you set the bandwidth statement to 1Mbps on a 4Mbps line). HOWEVER, the image above isn't showing that kind of problem (I don't think). So maybe it's not the case. But check…

The table name is Engines. It links to the Nodes table via the EngineID field. To get the NAME of the polling engine, you use Engines.ServerName.

From a licensing standpoint, an additional poller is universal. You buy a license for an additional poller regardless of whether you own NPM, SAM, IPSLA, NTA, etc. One size fits all. From a software standpoint, you install discrete Additional poller modules that match the software running in your primary poller. So in your…

You are evil, and that is why I like you so much.

See if this isn't enough to get you started.It has links to the materials i used.

Not directly the way you are thinking. Traps (which, as a point of correction, are also "OIDS") are configured within the SNMP agent running on every system to send outbound messages when a threshold is breached. It can't be polled. In some cases, there is an equivalent poll-OID value that will give you the current value.…

This is a job for Portocalypse - WMI Demystified. That handy article will show you how to lock down WMI to just one port, and then allow that through your firewalls. It's not easy, it's not simple, but it can be done.

When/how do you want to get this CSV output? If you want it ad-hoc, as in "I click the report in the Solarwinds portal and I get CSV instead of on-screen data", then you can add "&dataformat=excel" to the end of the report URL, If you want the CSV delivered to you via email (a la the report scheduler) then the only way…

Here's the process that worked for me: Add the following users...: * (local server, win2003) IIS_USERS * (local server, win2008r2) IIS_IUSRS * (local server) IUSR * (domain) Network Service * (domain) Authenticated Users ...to the following folders...: * c:\inetpub\solarwinds\ * (win2003) c:\program files\solarwinds\orion\…

There's a utility on the polling engine called the "Unmanage Scheduling Utility. (Start, All programs, SolarWinds Orion, Advanced Features). While it isn't what I would call a "perfect utility", it does the job you are asking about.

A few people are going to groan when they see this because I talk about it so much - but as long as you know which boxes need are going into maintenance and there's not too many of them, you can use a MUTE custom property (a yes/no field). For more details, do a search on thwack for "stop the madness". You'll find it there.

Very nice! From what I see, it's only grabbing the last line. What if the process generates multiple lines per polling cycle?

Sorry to come late to the party. here are some ideas. First, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this video from ThwackCamp 2013: http://bcove.me/gxpt8gqm OK, ego boost out of the way, here are some of the ways I've used custom properties: * using a "mute" field (yes/no) and then coding all of my relevant alerts to check it…

I don't know, I'm getting hundreds of hits. Here's the full query: select nodes.NodeID, nodes.Caption, CPUMultiLoad.TimeStampUTC, CPUMultiLoad.AvgLoad from Nodes join CPUMultiLoad on Nodes.NodeID = CPUMultiLoad.NodeID where DATEDIFF(mi, CPUMultiLoad.TimeStampUTC, SYSUTCDATETIME()) < 5 and CPUMultiLoad.AvgLoad > 85 And here…

Start a new alert. Set it to be a Node alert. Then change it to be a Custom SQL query (with the sub-type still Node). In the box where you can type your query, add: join CPUMultiLoad on Nodes.NodeID = CPUMultiLoad.NodeID where DATEDIFF(mi, CPUMultiLoad.TimeStampUTC, SYSUTCDATETIME()) < 5 and CPUMultiLoad.AvgLoad > 85 This…

Hooooo boy yeah.

Desolee, mon francais est tres mauvais. Vous pouvez regardez le menu "Library & Support" a haut en le website, oui?. Le link est: . En cette section, vous avez tout le documentacion, <including> NPM: Admin guide: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/OrionNPMAdministratorGuide.pdf J'espair Je vous aidez. - Leon

Here's a quick-and-dirty that should get you where you are going: select interfaces.caption, interfaces.interfaceIndex, NodeIPAddresses.IPAddress, NodeIPAddresses.InterfaceIndex from NodeIPAddresses inner join interfaces on (NodeIPAddresses.nodeid = interfaces.nodeid AND NodeIPAddresses.InterfaceIndex =…

You should start by checking out this mini-lab episode that specifically talks about setting (and fixing) your SolarWinds log levels: SolarWinds Lab Bits: Understanding (and Fixing) Logging Levels - YouTube If that doesn't do it, let me know and we'll keep digging.

Also worth mentioning that this is a great use-case for digging into the Orion SDK. You can have a job that does the comparison and updates nodes where there's a mismatch. I also prefer to leave the caption as-is, and have a separate custom property that gets updated by this process, but you can do either-or. <soapbox>…

At a hight level, what you would need to do is: * on the target device, set up the script that runs the commands and outputs the information you want * on the primary polling engine, create a script (vbscript may be best) that is able to connect to the SolarWinds database and write text into the NOTES field of the alert…

Since it's alerts, you could pick pop culture references to items that have an alert connection: Television Emergency Panic 9-1-1 Cops Rescue 911 E.R. Movies Firestorm Avalanche Avalanche Alley Avalanche Express Sharknado The Perfect Storm Virus Plague Games BioShock Quake Live & Death ... and so on...

As mentioned by a few other folks above, your problem is that - because the account you are using has a limitation set on it - after the node is added it immediately becomes "invisible" unless you are using an account without said limitation. You have a few options: * if you are adding a single node, just make sure you…

While there's nothing (that I can see) that would stop your configuration from working, a better (more robust) way to do it is to use the Additional Web Server. This server (which can be a VM) exists anywhere on your network (including in a DMZ) and uses minimal ports to connect back to the primary poller on the "inside"…

A few (probably dumb) questions on this: * You say the polling interval is 120 seconds, but that's the default for ping (even though it says "polling", that is what SolarWinds calls pign). What is the statistic collection interval for disks - both in general and on that box specifically? * Is there anything about this disk…

The short answer is that you can't - the delay isn't something that can be fed by a variable within the custom properties. However, one way I've gotten around this is to create a few versions of the alert with the time difference (CPUhigh-5, CPUhigh-10, etc) and then use the scope (I'm using 11.5 terminology here) to…

Another option I've used in the past is to disable the mail piece. Options include: * if you are using an account to authenticate to the email server, disable THAT * If you aren't using an account, then you are using POP. Consider setting up a different port for the POP connection (or at least for Solarwinds' POP…

*Bump* Our issues (which are mostly repeats from above) are: Now that we're on NPM 10.1, we're using AD groups rather than individual user accounts. Yay for NPM. But now in NCM, we have to somehow validate all these "new" users in NCM. * As mentioned, we have to give the "View Customization" right, which ain't gonna…

Awesome. I hope someone in SolarWinds Marketing picks this up. DanielleH, pass it along.

You can change the frequency of SNMP polls for up/down (NIC and disk), "regular" statistics (CPU, RAM, etc), Bandwidth statistics, and disk statistics. You can do that either system-wide or on a node-by-node basis. If you have custom UnDP pollers, you can also choose how often to poll for each of those. But beyond that,…
