anachronism

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread (I've been digging on monitoring java processes ), but does running the program (in this case java) via a symlink return the name of the link via SNMP (I think it should)? What I'm suggesting is /usr/local/bin/java-EMEA be a symlink to where-ever your java binary is (`which java`). Then…

Sorry if it's a bit late, but I had a similar problem myself recently. I have coded a solution (though it's not as neat as it could be). It relies on having the openssl binary installed, and uses that to retrieve the certificate from a remote server. The number of days till expiry is returned as the Statistic (so it's a…

Anachornism At this point I am not sure I understand what it is that you are frustrated with? Going back to your original post, it seems like you should be able to do your upgrade with minimal downtime, is this not the case? I'm frustrated that so many things are broken, and not being able to tell management when they are…

I have been able to get a "gauge" on my node view, but I am curious how to convert this "negative" number to a positve one as shown in my previous post? Actually, figured out how to show the History - so now, I need to poll for a few hours to see some results.. Dont suppose there is a way to import the historical data from…

Wow what a joke! PLEASE FIX THIS, OR AT LEAST TELL CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY REPAIR THEY WILL NEED TO RE-APPLY THIS! Really... more downtime... thanks for getting me woken up to fix a problem caused by advice from your support. Not impressed, SW is more down than up these days.

See this post for a detailed explanation of our position on roadmaps. It's important to understand that Orion has used this licensing framework for over 10 years, so it's not a simple rip and replace, especially given the size of the Orion customer base. We take these kinds of fundamental changes very seriously and it's…

I know APM doesn't have a hot standby failover mechanism, but I thought a least if it was installed, it could be manually failed-over? Is this not the case? Does the recent license change allow for this?

Hi I logged a Support Case with Solarwinds and got the following advice back which done the trick Can you please do a repair on your Orion Installation. How to Repair Solarwinds Orion Please stop all Orion Services from the Orion Services Manager before running the repair. From the Control Panel 1. Open Add/Remove Programs…

Yup. I'd like to see this included for customers with a support licence as well please. It'd make keeping SW in our environment an easier argument.

We are currently investigating integrating NPM with HEAT. It looks like our solution will have to be similar to the ones listed above. Email to the automatic ticket generator with the details encompassed in the body of the email. I'm just working on the testing of V2 of our Heat integration. Currently we send emails to…

This is something we have been asking for for a long time, but was told there wasn't one. Where can I get the SDK/API?

Does this mean that monitoring via my hotstandby when upgrading to SLX is an approved and tested solution? If this is the case, I simply have to install APM/ALX onto my standby (this is free now on my standby, as I have one license for my main server?). If this is a simple change of license files in the app, can this not…

How about this.. A place to put notes on a node.. a interface.. an application service a whatever. Not all objects need comments.. but there are always those one offs that would benefit from having special instructions.. support contact info.. notes? just a thought :) We use custom properties for this, but that doesn't…

Can we please get an API to do customisations? Cheers, Grant

We only raise alerts if the DeviceStatus (a custom field) is set to Monitored.Our process is that during planned maintenance the person performing the work sets the DeviceStatus to their initials and the ticket number for the work. We can also put in values like "Commissioning" which raises email alerts to a different…

In case it's of any use to anyone: I've been playing around using the VIPerlToolKit to report on datastore usage (can be downloaded from sourceforge, and used with activeperl). The following script expects 3-4 parameters, Server Username Password DataStoreName Index (optional, starts at 0). You can specify the datastore…

If you have APM you could do this by a SQL query monitor on your SolarWinds database, something like: select count(NodeID) from Nodes where Status=1 and DeviceGroup='CORE'; assuming you have a custom property called DeviceGroup, with some devices set to have a value of CORE, this will return the number of devices with…

Hi, We've been working on integrating selenium-grid (selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/) into our solarwinds deployment. Basically we get a url from our selenium setup which initiates the test, and returns back a pass/fail status from the URL, using the HTTP monitor to search for the pass string, and alert accordingly. Selenium…

Did you find a solution to this, I'm seeing the same issue. 10 nodes discovered (10 ICMP responses, lots of SNMP), but no devices found on the next step. :(

Depending on how confident you feel about developing stuff, have a look at LooperNG -http://muthanna.com/looperng/. It lists in it's feature-set a trap exploder capability, that's probably what you want. You set up your devices to trap to the exploder, and it then forwards to all your systems (e.g., Primary NMS, Standby…

I've been playing around using the VIPerlToolKit to report on datastore usage (can be downloaded from sourceforge, and used with activeperl). The following script expects 3-4 parameters, Server Username Password DataStoreName Index (optional, starts at 0). You can specify the datastore via the name, or via the index (but…
