  • I can only repeat what I said above: for me, it shows interfaces for the nodes that match the node status in question, not interfaces' status, as demonstrated in my screenshot. It's awesome that you got Orion to behave that way - yet that behavior is not available to me. By the way, "unreachable" aren't "down", they are…
  • This won't do much - the "warning" value in the volume "status" is not the same as the volume exceeding the "warning" capacity threshold. Personally I've never seen a volume in "warning" while have several that are over the "warning" capacity threshold.

  • The status you highlighted is a node status, not volume.
  • it means that the total amount of bytes transfered from 6:00 to 11:59 was 7TB. You know that for sure or just guessing? Here is an exercise you can do: zoom in on a similar chart so you have more bars for the same time frame and compare to the original. I did and in fact linked to the results in my original post. Hint:…
  • Sorry, I can't see the relevance of this to my question.
  • The HTTP/HTTPS monitor template is effectively checking availability if that is an option, too. HTTP monitor may work in some cases although ICMP (ping) traffic is principally different from TCP and HTTP ones, I heard. For my purposes, I use TCP monitor (basically port scanner) to check if a specific port on a target is…
  • Presumably, you added that as an External node because ICMP was blocked and didn't want it show up as down. Now that you can determine status purely via SNMP, you can change the node type to SNMP Presumably? What if I presume you could hop on the next plane, spend a couple of weeks here and fix all my NPM and SAM problems…

  • Wait, people use the actual name of the object as a link? I tend to find that I can link to anything via the map and have no such issues, but I don't rely on the name. Amazing, isn't it? Personally, I think it's a sound UI principle: actions should be associated with labels, not LEDs. LEDs are for looking at, not pressing…
  • Possible workaround. Instead of grouping nodes first and then trying to assign app monitors (or templates) based on group membership, one could: * assign app templates to desired nodes * create a dynamically queried group based on that parameter (that a specific template has been assigned) Example: I am not at all saying…
  • Second Leon on that. The choice to "wreak havoc with credentials" vs. significantly simplified management and less manual labor should be users', not Solarwinds'. Adding a node to the group and then manually checking it has the same monitors that the rest of the group members do, is where the havoc could be wreaked. (umm,…
  • Perfect, thank you. My ticket with SW support is 767294 if you need to refer to it.
  • Just found out that installing NPM on a system that already has a Solarwinds product installed, or uses the same database that another product is using, is subject to compatibility restrictions. In our case, the latest licensed NPM version is 10.5 and it's incompatible (and unsupported when installed together) with SAM…
  • Perfect, thank you - it works!
  • Thanks - already done - didn't help. Neither did the recent 11.5.2 SR.
  • How many nodes and elements are you watching? Do the alerts get emailed, or just end up in an actual report? Do you have some one reacting to each alert appropriately? Are they routed to the correct people, or broadcast? Also, are you a 24/7 business? How many people work with Solarwinds information? 250 nodes, 500…
  • This one ended up working for "Percent Used": ${SQL:Select Round ('${VolumePercentUsed}',2)}. Interesting that the formula only works with ${VolumePercentUsed} but neither with ${N=SwisEntity;M=VolumePercentUsed} nor with ${VolumePercentAvailable}: "MACRO SQL ERROR - Error converting data type varchar to float." - probably…
  • Two, the old one with 400+ elements, and the new one with zero elements. Looking into how to reassign all the elements to the new one, then deleting it.
  • That is super, super useful aLTeReGo . How come that doesn't show up as a variable to select when trying to build variables? That is immensely valuable. For me, it only started showing up once I added a component trigger condition (example in the 1st post). (That in turn led to a bunch of other application-related…
  • Thank you for the quick response. What version of SAM are you running? As mentioned, SAM 6.0. All I see in 6.1.1 Release Notes (couldn't find 6.1.0): * A timeout setting has been increased for Linux script execution which now prevents a script execution error. l * A Linux script execution error has been fixed. n, p, q I…
  • I looked at it briefly and frankly don't want to go through it. The doc doesn't return even a single result for 2012. There gotta be a simpler way to enable polling on a completely stock, fresh off-the-shelf non-domain 2012 R2 node. Does it seem to you (as it does to me) that this is a firewall exception issue?
  • Is there a guide, a KB, on how to configure these templates (and target servers) properly? I guess these might be good starting points... * SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: What are the minimum permissions required for the SQL account used in order for the Orion A…‌ * How to monitor named instances: Re: SQL Named Instance…
  • Doesn't look like this KB applies to my case: * See no duplicate "viewkey" entries (out of 122 total) - pasted into a Google Sheet, checked for duplicates. * See no two primary pollers in any of the places the article suggest checking.
  • Thank you so much for the response. The healthy one has "N.Cpu.SNMP.HrProcessorLoad" assigned, for instance. The other one doesn't. Polling result from the healthy one: REQUESTGetBulk [0]: OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2. Type: OID_TYPE_NULL Value: RESPONSE RequestID: 13820ErrorCode: 0ErrorStatus: 0ErrorIndex: 0[0]: OID:…
  • As of 11:26pm, the stats hadn't reset yet. Perhaps yesterday's full Configuration Wizard rebuild fixed the issue.
  • Basically, we found that if it is a WMI based poller, you need to have WMI running, RPC running, AND RPC Locator running. Otherwise, you'll end up with unknown statuses. That didn't work for me, for SAM 6.2.2, SQL Server 2012 SP2, SQL Server 2012 Performance (WMI) template. Only four component monitors test as "up", the…
  • Actually I am not sure if the OP wanted one chart displaying all desired data, like this: ...or individual CPU / memory load charts for each node, separately, but all grouped together in one view. I need the latter. Will open a new thread.
  • According to support (ticket 815828), this is expected and due to NPM using the old community string on a first poll after it's changed: This is how it works: * Default polling interval for Hardware health is 10 minutes. * 00:00(mm:ss) HWH poll was done correctly. Next HWH polling job is scheduled with community "public".…
