What polling method are these nodes? SNMP, WMI or none (when switched to ICMP) It's possible that it was introduced in GA release. I am still on the RC version of NPM 11.5 /Core 2015.1.0 and not affected. Looks like it. Thanks, that's helpful.

The reason you lost variables akhasheni is because you changed the monitor type from SAM monitor (APM: Application) to SAM component. (APM: Component). That part I do get. What I don't get is why a variable can be used as a trigger condition - cannot be used in the trigger action (e.g. in the body of the email). Say, I…

Upgrading to 6.1.1 did not change anything. Still getting "Get Output Failed: Script file creation failed. The created file is corrupted.", on a very simple script that has no trouble running on its own. Will open a support ticket. Again, simply adding lines of comment characters ('#') to a script that works in either SW…

Perfect. (It's a bit quicker to do it via "More Actions" vs. "Edit Properties".)

${N=SwisEntity;M=VolumePercentUsed;Fx} Where x is the relevant format. Sorry, don't get it. ${N=SwisEntity;M=VolumePercentUsed,2}? ${N=SwisEntity;M=VolumePercentUsed,F2}? Neither one works.

Thank you Zdenek.

Most recent are these - are they relevant? (The file is almost 6MB, spanning about 10 minutes.) Looks like the relevant entries are earlier in the log. 2019-03-23 23:32:09,810 [1] DEBUG Iis8Configurator - Detecting if IIS8 is installed2019-03-23 23:32:09,935 [1] ERROR ConfigurationProgressScene - Thread…

Does they run the same OS X code? does snmpd config on the MAC is the same? If yes try to stop the snmpd (service on that OS X) and turn it igen. Not sure about X code. Does it matter? Yes, snmpd config is the same. Tried restarting snmpd many times - no change.

If the target computer has Windows Firewall enabled, it must have a Remote WMI exception to allow remote WMI traffic through (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa389286(VS.85).aspx). To add this exception: 1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd and then press ENTER. 2. At the command prompt, type netsh firewall set…

Thank you Karlo: Thanks to you and aLTeReGo, I think I have a better understanding how Solarwinds sees and monitors volumes. One thing I still don't quite understand though: Whatever method is being used by Solarwinds to report a volume up or down (in, say, alerts), why isn't that same method available in Orion charts and…

I don't have a wish list or ideas on how the management should look like, except that it doesn't mess with my existing monitoring, group membership, alerts - at least not without a clear warning. I understand user wishes and desires, yet there is also this fairly standard rule: if any newly added functionality breaks…

I know, and I am loving it! It's like I am in the Land of the Dead!

Not sure what it fixed if anything. I wanted to know why that alert triggered, i.e. if it's a bug or a reproducible human error. But so far it looks like a glitch?

I would suggest however that you open a case with support so we can track it appropriately. Can't yet: Solarwinds support down?

Thanks Rob. It probably makes sense to submit a ticket only if I can replicate the issue, which would require an external node on which I could manipulate the IP address, or which changes frequently enough on its own to be used as a test mule. Can you think of one if I don't have such a test mule internally? All we need is…

SW released "OrionPlatform-2015.1-HotFix3.zip" that addresses the problem. P.S. One thing that still puzzles the heck out of me: why did it take over a week for SW to even acknowledge the issue? From this thread and other sources, it's clear the issue affects all 11.5 (or Orion 2015.1) users and it would have taken support…

Unfortunately the template can not be updated because SAM's File Count monitor does not currently support partial name filtering, despite what the component monitor settings may appear to show. This is not so much a bug,…

Unchecked, and always has been unchecked. If options is unchecked, please create support ticket. All in due time.

Yes, using option 2. basically- does it work for you!? Yes, for me and for my relatively small team that relies on me for alerting. Wouldn't work for a larger team or any environment where false alerts are less tolerable.

You are correct however that Application Custom Properties are not available as macros to be included in message body text for the "APM: Component" property type. Thank you. Is there a reason for that? My goal with this and all our alerts is to display the "tier" (importance) of the node, application or interface in…

If they do come up with some way of sorting it, could you update this thread please? Certainly.

I was referring to the detailed error message that appears on the Application Details view at the time when the component is in an "Unknown" state. "SNMP timeout" was the indeed the error in one specific case and suspect timeouts are causing these for the most part. However I am getting those "unknowns" from about 5 app…

* How to monitor named instances: Re: SQL Named Instance Monitoring Is this the name of the instance? Still not working for me: "HResult: The specified object is not found on the system."

Mine was not really solved - more like, "diagnosed": if the polling time was set in the future at some point (e.g. time sync was misconfigured, or just system time set improperly), advanced alerts will not fire until that future occurs. E.g. it's midnight but server was set to 2am and then reset back to midnight, there…

At the moment - no difference (that I can detect) - but then the alerts started working about an hour after I left work this morning - all by themselves. NetPerfMon logging works for some alerts, and doesn't for others. It's strange. Support suggested enabling "debug" logging for the Alert Service, which I did. Hope we…

Stats reset correctly at midnight. The 11.5 upgrade or perhaps even the 11.1 one bungled things up. Doing a full run of the "Configuration Wizard" on services, database and Orion seems to have fixed the issue. silverbacksays‌ - have you tried this to see if it fixes your issue?

The concern is security and unwanted side effects. In that spirit, perhaps would it be beneficial to amend your answer with the fact that opening port 445 is equivalent to enabling the stock "File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In)" Windows firewall rule - which has wide ranging security implications?

Sounds like you need the application or component alert and include node caption equals (name of your test node) then your email only you alert action Thank you. I totally missed is that I could add node, application and component names to the trigger conditions. Your answer pointed me in the right direction.

Indeed, just found this alert on the old NPM box. It wasn't there on SAM. Have yet to figure out how to customize it as even the ${KeepAlive} variable doesn't translate into actual values in NPM / event logs or in alert emails. But I should probably branch this question out into a new topic if I don't figure this out on my…
