Just a quick ? on this - I set the custom capacity thresholds but the volume details percent used and percent available value bars are still colored red or yellow based on global thresholds. As you can see below the custom thresholds are above the metric and another shown here should be red but is still green status bar.…

peter.ksenzsigh Will this service release resolve the issue where Network Sonar Discovery imports all discovered nodes into UDT even when no ports are selected? If not can I get a temp uplift on my license or can you confirm which table you want me start deleting rows from? Seems like a dbo.UDT.NodeCapability and maybe Job…

‌I spend 1/3 of my time in SQL/SWQL, 1/3 in powershell, and 1/3 in bash or other automation. I might geek out on the tools often but at the end of the day it's just the same as using predominantly one shop tool over another for a while- no one really cares except the final products. Tools of the Trade MAGAZINE

‌all interesting points especially reactive vs proactive. i think we are an inflection point where the puppets and GPO's of the world have gotten server guys used to not only defining and reporting on config issues but also auto remediation. puppet comes out of the box assuming you will manage config objects instead of run…

So many alerts set up to try and report back on mismatches. It's like a cat and mouse game

I have an appstack which includes our network gear. Ping me if you want the secret method to include them.

I've been trying to take advantage of the change template engine but find it's architecture both its greatest strength and weakness. It needs the ability to call out an external script and pass variables to powershell or Perl etc- just like you can with an advanced alert action. So instead of being limited to only objects…

Spotlight should be the default UI action. Then you would not need the this post.

agreed I have been adding one then duplicating in the view window, then selecting both and duplicating, and again exponentially. .

stevenstadel, Check if these work for you? HP VirtualConnect Flex10-1.3.6.1.4.1.11.5.7.5.1.ConfigMgmt-Commands HP Onboard Administrator-1.3.6.1.4.1.11.5.7.1.2.ConfigMgmt-Commands

I'll bite. I try to "eat my own dogfood" where if I am suggesting to an application or network owner that we can better monitoring their world - it's because I've already tested out said feature on my Orion apps or servers or network. I've found it easy to apply SAM monitors for Orion, modified one for Polling Engines,…

So you don't need to case as many of the integers become true/false when shown with SWQL. I like your placing of the global thresholds but then the resource is no longer "Custom Thresholds" Even if you want to show values (global) for all volumes which have no custom thresholds, I think you could navigate to…

Jiri -Any in mind?

Oh yes it can. As some background, a year ago I asked Solarwinds to help me out as I was building NetAtlas maps for my dynamic query groups, manually adding and deleting them on the map which negated the whole automated approach of dynamic queries. My only request was dynamic mapping to add/delete objects as they were…

I've been using a SWQL resource for this but would agree the child objects should be considered unreachable or unknown. --begin code --Query from volumes and nodes tables with icons and links SELECT I.shortdescription as SNMPStatus , '/Orion/images/StatusIcons/Small-' + ToString(I.shortdescription) + '.gif' AS…

Today we can search for node property values in the search bar, since at least Core 2012.2.2, though you cannot sort by groups (since my groups are based on a custom property I indirectly can) However I think the bigger issue is the inconsistency of where the search function is located in each module: Manage Custom…

‌week 2 is frustrating - having just exported network information via WMI.

Instead of allowing nothing, NULL, checking the required field option forces in the first field value by alpha order. So since No comes before Yes I have had to reword all my custom properties so that NO default value is ok. Along with not being able to rename custom properties allowing us to choose the default value is an…

In my desperate attempt to also show network devices I have found a "kind-of" workaround where if you assign an App monitor (say a simple one like snmp or http) to your switches then they magically show up in AppStack view. That easy! The hackintosh part of this is that while you still don't see categories showing you…

‌apply application monitor for DNS, be that on the dns sever and also on critical services like say Isilon smart connect DNS names. We simply put on the share named a file named do_not_delete and call it up by unc path \\smart_connect_dns\share\do_not_delete.txt. Now when everything else is green this file monitor will be…

I included this in a request to the product managers also would be nice if enterprise operations console included this feature as well

SELECT Enabled , UsePeakValues , ToString(WarningThreshold) + ' %' AS [Warning] , ToString(CriticalThreshold) + ' %' AS [Critical] , CapacityThreshold AS [Capacity] ,(Select ToString(CurrentValue) + ' %' AS [col1] FROM Orion.Settings WHERE SettingID = 'NetPerfMon-DiskSpace-Warning') AS [Global_Warning] ,(Select…

Groups and Auto mapping in NPM 11.5 is great improvements. I would agree the filter should parse page variables.

Just a note - I have not upgraded yet to 7.3.2 but found a work around I quite like anyway. I just let my discoveries add the nodes and allow it to pick the best connection profile. Then I have a SQL agent job that copies the connection profile name into the Node Group field. This way I can effectively sort by Node…

‌so then ToLocal() function seems to be working. I suspect it's the in('fixed',.... Portion. can you remove or replace with just an = 'fixed disk' ?

I am unable to get any updates under Server Warranty Summary - I have HP DL380's that do come up on HP's warranty site and we added the proxy settings for all users on the orion server. Any thoughts on next steps?

Congratulations to all the winners. They are the new Thwack Pack.

This is based on the Hardware Health being polled - I have some Cisco 4948's which don't report due to an IOS error - in that case add a node custom property for serial number and add that to the above script (like my assettag) then you can manually enter them all for tracking...
