Brad- Any chance you could share the Php on your front end for this???????

Actually, I did not have to use a SQL variable once I was given the variable list from this post. The alert message below is an alert on Volumes for disk space usage. 'Service' was a custom property I created for each node and everything else was a SW variable.…

Can you please provide the script? 

Thanks! Thats a great Idea. I am currently using the event forwarder to monitor some of our services at our location so I understand the concern of the syslog messages. I have tried to talk with support a couple of times about moving the syslog database to a standalone/seperate system but have had no luck. Can you tell me…

Thanks to everyone. I was able to get this working within the advanced alerts once I found the proper macro variables.

I'd like to keep the messages a little longer than that, atleast 6 months, to better report on trends so I like your suggestion about the stored procedure. I am a lowely network admin with little experience as a DBA though I will try and dredge up some info on how to implement your suggestion. Thanks for the tip! If anyone…

Thanks Brad, looking forward to it!

Thanks so much, this was the problem. Thank you for the detailed procedure!

Yeah, I currently have some alerts setup to ignore a particular day of the week,but what I really need is the granularity of a particular day of the month. I didnt know if there was any "backdoor sql'ing" I could do to get this functionality.

Mostly Dell Power Edge, but we still have a few Dell Workstations and xSeries that we are monitoring. We also have several iSeries but I am not as worried about those at the moment.

Thank you, Not John. This worked perfectly. I would only add that you must also modify any Resource.Title value to something different. You must do this in order to distinguish the new resource from the original one when you prepare to add it to your view. Thanks again!

Yeah, this works great for most of my conditions. Unfortunately, it doesnt work so great with Domain Controllers. With my Domain Controllers being clustered but with no specific cluster IP to pull availability on, the availability statistics of this get skewed a little. If one domain controller has an monthly availability…

Thanks for the info, that is helpful. I am using the SolarWinds event log forwarding to monitor and alert on services for some of our applications. In addition to the Syslog messages from network devices I am just worried about the growth of the database as I begin to monitor more and more syslog messages from systems in…

I apologixe but I am not familiar enough on editing the asp file to prompt for a comment field. Would you happend to have any example of this or know where I could find some tutorials related to this? I appreciate your help.

I have tried the above mentioned SQL variable and wasn't able to get this to work. For some reason, It did not like the embedded variable within the SQL variable and never worked. I created a custome property for each node called Service and was able to access this field from within the email message using ${Node.Service}.…

All that is logged in the event viewer is a SolarWinds.net message of 'Polling service has stopped'

Our installation was also done using a domain admin but I am still getting this sporatic behavior.

It was the polling service that stops mostly. I have had some problems with kthe other services as well though this one seems to be the most consistent. Yes, they stop for no apparent reason. Currently at 2438 elements being polled. Polling statistics are defaults I believe: Interval for Nodes - 120 sec Interval for…

have you verified that the OIDs for the power and temperature MIBs match the OIDs in the current MIB database. I have had similar problems because the MIB importer tool in V8 doesn't work. Due to this, I am only able to use the MIBs for our Leibert UPS which are currently in the database. Although there are some power and…

I just posted on the same topic. I have been awaiting this functionality for several months now and have put in numerous posts and support tickets. One support tech informed me of a recurring unmanaged feature solarwinds was working on. Will this be addressed anytime soon????????

do you have an older version of Orion on the system. We had to unistall the old before we moved to v8 to get a clean install.

where should I add this? In the filter?

We are currently doing something similar while waiting for SolarWinds to address the issue. Although I don't have to send the e-mail everyday, I do send out monthly availability reports manually. I am trying to get around to writing a VBscript to throw into Windows Scheduler so that we can automate this process. Sounds…

The report scheduler is designed to accomplish this. You can download this free through the website. In my personal experience, I have had some formatting issues with this. When running the automatic e-mails the reports are embedded within the e-mail. This has caused some problems for some. There has been talk of SW…

I would LOVE to get this implemented in our setup. I tried following the instructions above but the Java app fails to load once I click on the 'S'. PLEASE is there anyone who can help me with this...

stupid thought, but could the community string have been changed?

NOTE: the Custom MIB Poller does not support MIB importing! This is something I have discussed with SW support at length. Although the MIB databse provided by Orion provides several periodic updates, their importer tool does not work. This is supposed to be addresed in the upcoming revision.

No this wont work, try this: Suppress Alert when any of the following apply - Initial Condition Group Suppress Alert when all of the following apply - Insert Another Condition Group <Eneabbas Core is not equal to up conditions> - First set of conditions Suppress Alert when all of the following apply - Insert Another…
