Using the unmanaged function for this is not complicated at all and has the benefit of a view you can place multiple places but will still update anytime an unmanage date is updated from any interface details page. For example if an outage is postponed or resolved earlier and the interface re-managed - the view below will…

Brilliant - Hats off to you...

Ticketing system with a shift notes function - it also acts as the CMDB and receives tickets from Solarwinds (alarm emails) which is historically tracked against the devices. Looking forward to SAM 6 to fill in some of the gaps on actively monitoring some configurations and maybe compare against our CMDB for reporting.

According to the thwack camp improved install process is on the radar. I think the existing process needs a complete revamp including having APE be both background and without need for an outage. Cannot come even close to even 3 nines with Orion with APE if you have a few installs and a few issues per year.

I thought I was just second guessing myself. Now if only I can get Solarwinds to better document the included module versions in each additional poller engine bundle I can get this down to just a few hours.

If it's of any help I find a lot of my audit reports return too many rows due to NULL fields. I prefer to include a temporary "or nodes.dns is not null" so that I can focus clean up on those that are present AND not matching. Once the clean up is done and the query returns no rows then I remove the NULL clause and start…

That custom map based on caption macro is a cool trick. So many on Thwack that I try to post what I find as well here. Just so much to keep track of.

Although this assumes the nodes are actually in groups. If its simply a custom property field the same can be done by choosing nodes then grouping by the custom property or adding a count. Thanks, Christian

i have still needed this as custom pollers in NPM 10.7 for nexus switches

or if you don't have SAM then use task manager or better yet perf mon viewer.

Just duplicated this out the box alert, changed to 30days, and enabled today. Works great except one issue - I have some nodes which have been unreachable since Jan and they were top on the forecast list based on that old data. Can I request that future updates consider age of lastsync - otherwise it's predictive analysis…

Ah I only ask because to filter it out I had to covert that float value to varchar and not like '1.7976%' which must be a performance hit.

Has anyone noted for them that it's a bug that edit volume button is missing off the volume details resource?

Are you adding any alert custom properties? While I don't do it for groups I have done it for types of alerts including object types, storage vs network vs servers. It could be used to sort the active alerts page by group.

10.6 and I am told the UCS fabric interconnect summary page uses entitySensorValueTable [1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.91.1.1.1] Which I can confirm has a value in the snmpwalk. If you have a 6248 or 6296 can you post an image of the FI powersupplies status resource?

What about alertlog table? I've used it recently for actions triggered- just needs a max or count unless you want to see ALOT of triggers on flapping alerts. Actually SWQL could return only top 50 or such...hmmm. Thanks, Christian

Message me on this- I had to change a variable on the alert action to fix it. But don't have it in front of me right now. Thanks, Christian

I don't always test my alerts in production. But when I do, I make sure to always acknowledge my alerts. Stay thirsty my friends.

Have you tried adding a multichart resource to an existing application details page? what if you start with a custom page and just add it there?

I am sad I cannot like this reply multiple times. Bronx‌ can you post it again so I can like that one as well? ..off to create a homegrown "AppInsight for Orion" template and custom view.

Bonus points - add to the end a where filter with variable like where nodeid = ${nodeid} Then add a custom report writer on your node page so that it returns just the interfaces and vlan just for that switch - yeehaw - this will break the report writer view so get your formatting above done first or comment out while you…

I don't think volume status icons existed before appstack and do not seem to make use of of the smaller blinking led since there are no child objects for a volume. As for the status- did you try to unmanage and remanage the node? What is the next poll date time for the volume?

Brink668, (neighbor of the beast?) if you take go to your summary page, customize view, click + to add a resource and type in query, add this custom query resource to your page and done on the customize view page. Then click edit on the actual resource back on the summary page, copy in the first swql statement I provided…

All good points. There are SO many relationships to map between Solarwinds and ServiceNow but you mention Perfstack so let's start there: node node to volumes node to interfaces node to application monitor the first two would be table relationships in SN where you build both records then on the child record, volumes let's…

I've done a manually mapping through SWIS to SN custom API which is now being replaced by the out of box SN Identification and Reconciliation API. Its not a simple process and I would encourage either Solarwinds to productise this or for you to consider SN discovery and/or service watch. If you do undertake it I'll offer…

aLTeReGo, I recreated your script for my needs and after realizing I needed to add + '.gif' it all came together - thanks! Is there anyway to add Tool tips functionality? SELECT a.DisplayName as Application, n.caption as Node,a.DetailsUrl AS [_LinkFor_Application], '/Orion/images/StatusIcons/Small-' + a.StatusDescription +…

I Thought I tried URL but might have gotten uri. Thanks

Wait wait wait I am confused. If you delete them from the discovered tables then upon next discovery they will come right back. I would think you delete them from the actual interfaces, volumes, etc tables AND insert them into the discoveryignoredinterfaces|volumes|etc tables. That would approximate what I suspect you…

Richard- is the inverse of those rules you know a reliable ignore list? Essentially ignore if not (all your rules) with maybe an override option in your cmdb? If so why not use that to run a sql job to move discovered interfaces into ignored interfaces for you?

there's a checkbox in the process to add whether it's already being monitored or not. This is in the dbo.DiscoveryProfiles table under DuplicateNodes bit value. I would leave unchecked and then set up an log filter for the discovery log to look for "skipped, already monitored with different engine" so you can either move…
