Just sent a friend request but I'm not sure us kitesurfers are allowed to befriend windsurfers

Instructions mention same subnet. What level of latency is tolerated before we see split brain or flipping of the active services? We would like to install one in each of our main data centers- sharing a single subnet. Thanks, Christian

I have had the report scheduler work but have since migrated them all to the web-based reports- what version of Orion are you running? As for your query- I would copy paste it into Database Manager or SQL Server Management Studio if you have a chance to see if you get any different results or better an error message.

Leeth -what does the ESX Host Details resource on the host list as the operational status? We had this when our ESX was complaining about something - Solarwinds counted the VMware "status" as a threshold I guess.

Actually found the correct SWQL filter for the capacity forecasts to filter out unmanaged or nodes which have not been polled for more then a day. : These both should be voted up so it doesn't have to be a SWQL filter:

ALter- I'm looking forward to installing 6.1 into production to be able to disable components. We have some very large indexes which are still very fragmented and not issue- I would prefer even more granularity like to be able to add filters by index name

Correct but you have the blades added by their managenent address and not the OS IP address? if you monitor the OS IP address you will not see a link back to the UCS blade/chassis etc.

As aLTeReGo mentions it's likely best to alert on the appinsight application then enumerate the problems in the alert message. The added benefit is you can control how many alerts you get for which objects at a time -I don't get any alerts for components since they come in the application alerts. You can do the same for…

I would approach your reporting as setting up a wan link group comprised of the 2 interfaces with a rollup method of show best status - this way the group will show fully available until both go down. (In practice I have had just as much luck with the default show mixed status and that provides better reporting of UP,…

You turned off asset inventory? I would have used that table to pull manufacturer and model to query since NPM defaults all windows servers to vendor=WIndows... Do you hold that same mfg/model data in your CMDB? If so then you can cross query so that where the cmdb returns HP model like 'DL%' and…

How do you know the actual interfaces etc? Snmp is terrible for automating and I quickly had to switch to at least WMI to get accurate consistent interfaces and volumes from windows/discovery.

I Might compare notes with you on your version and settings? I'd like to see ps also ;-)

‌You have it. I used to pick the NetworkAtlas big scalable squares and size them up so they just lined up like a row. Associate each with a group, save the map, and pick it from the map resource in Orion. Worked for years. That said, while the group membership is dynamic the list of groups on your map is not. To make it…

Brink, Are you asking how to find nodes that don't belong to ANY groups? I wanted to ensure my dynamic queries were working and use this in a Custom Query resource to return that: SELECT n.caption as Node , n.DetailsUrl AS [_LinkFor_Node] , '/Orion/images/StatusIcons/Small-' + n.StatusLED AS [_IconFor_Node] ,…

Nat those local addresses then Thanks, Christian

In the database under dbo.discoveryprofiles Shhhh they might hear us talking.

If you want off the manual add process then move to autoimport and that's where delete comes in. It deletes what was auto imported that you didn't want and then ignored tables keep them from coming back. My goal is no one ever looks at the network sonar discovery page ever.

And as you build bigger queries you might find yourself switching the primary from field so you can take advantage of the most navigated tables vs joins or the ability to have the navigated tables act like left joins. Example just switched a query from nodes to virtual machines so it would return all VM's even the ones not…

‌so did this work? If a new one won't just open an existing one and paste in a new image then save. Don't expect it to save between upgrades. If so I have several MrT icons just waiting around looking for a home

‌only virtual and I believe UDT and NCM have filtered left page views - you can see them under the only show this view when section - very limited choices. my approach would be to go into settings and create a new node details view with the left page you want , then set that in the views by machinetype section. It's not…

Do I count if I feel like a noob anytime aLTeReGo‌ or familyofcrowes‌ post anything

This is off the top of my head but I've worked with it last week- You should be able to build an alert based on the Overall Health Status object where ?entity type? is temperature and status description is equal to critical (use the autocomplete to see what values you have in your environment) See if that gets you closer…

If you look at his custom sqt alert trigger you'll see he joins the cpu multi load table so you can alert on any CPU over a threshold. It will take some sql experimentation to get the trigger right

Drop me a note if you want a copy of my project plan. Not sure it will help but it might be good as background.

Your saying add new nodes that are added to your cmdb? If so then I first looked at this and in our case it was not the best plan of attack- our cmdb contains many assets not to be monitored and it also lacked an approval process for adding to monitoring. I've been using the powershell scripts based off the SDK example add…

Checked dbo.AuditingActionTypes and found nothing report related. Worse - it seems while dbo.reportdefinitions has an owner field it does not have any sort of created/modified date So it would seem your best bet might to subscribe to that table About Change Tracking (SQL Server) or Detect and act on database drift | DLM…

I have used both in reporting but beware that Machine Type might list VMware or Hyper-V for VM's.

I am about to embark on this journey and while I want to use the same custom properties as mentioned above for populating the groups with parent or child devices, I want to actually create the parent and child groups and the dependency programatically. I have created groups before from powershell and it's easy. I do not…

‌So for some reason the advanced alert manager never worked for status has changed the way that the basic alert manager did. You will want to change that to status is down and add another for warning etc or simply make it status is not up. You should also consider adding another series of logic so that it also requires…

Just thinking- this is what tripped me up when I had alerts url problems. Change netbios name to your server web url.
