Genius!!! Wow mesverrum that is awesome Another question on the Multiple Object Charts. Some of my server farms are too large to display in a single panel or should I say too many colors to pick out a single server. The Limit Series box when checked selects the top X servers by name in alphabetical order. (I really can't…

Thanks Mark Roberts, I can not get VBScript, Powershell, psexec, or SC commands to run on a remote machine when executed by an alert.. All of them run fine when I am logged into the server via RDP. Also the Orion default 'restart a service' does not work. It is also not included in the new web based alert manager, only…

Put up a screenshot of Select Fields, Filter Results, and Field Formatting and maybe we can figure it out.

That's is a great way as well

I set up a similar monitor once. I used a program called bmail.exe which allows you to generate an email from a command prompt. I sent it as a scheduled task once every 5 minutes on a server. That email went to an SMTP mailbox that had a 'run a program' rule on it that executed a Klog.exe command and syslog'd a message…

Nice!

It's a pretty large script and the one I use wouldn't work in your environment without a bunch of modifications. Here is where to get started: Are there any sample VB Script code to add requests in ServiceDesk plus – MSP application? | FAQ There is another way to auto create tickets in Service Desk that may be easier to…

Assuming you have the script set up in SAM and assigned to your nodes you just need to put the output into the "$Body" variable. The code above will sent the email directly from your powershell script, no alert needed.

It's been quite awhile since I installed the connector in the lab. I have been using Solarwinds and Splunk together but in the opposite direction. I'm ingesting all of my Syslog, SNMPTraps, and Email into Splunk then sending info to Solarwinds when needed.

I finally installed it. Not so much to make displays, i just want to automate compares of tables from other products so i can ensure when something is added to the network it gets added to all of the tools and is in our CMDB.

I would try the permissions thing I suggested, it only takes a second to prove out. SAM runs scrips as a system account from your Orion server I believe. I had a similar issue I was troubleshooting and that was how I got it to work. If you dig around in Thwack there are some threads on how to imbed the credentials in the…

I don't have NCM any longer but I think if you owned that product the port channel info would be available in the database somewhere since all of the configs are in there? At least you may be able to identify them all? I think that is what sja was referring to? If you could compile a list in Excel you could create and…

Don't get me wrong, A Swiss Army Knife is a great tool and if its all you have it's the best tool. However if I to wanted to fillet a fish I might choose something else.

Try this - filling in your own names. You can add as many 'OR's as you want. This will display interfaces that are down (=2) and not display the ones that are shut down (<>4) InterfaceName Like '*eth*' OR InterfaceName Like '*port*' AND OperStatus = 2 AND AdminStatus <> 4 The interface variables are here: Status ID's…

What alert variables were changed?

Here is how I got to the documentation. From inside Network Atlas: Help - Network Atlas Help - Network Atlas Features - "Connecting Objects Automatically with ConnectNow”.

Thank you Karlo! I will run these against the switches I am having issues with.

Yes, and even if I manually connect the nodes together by using the line tool and then adding the interfaces to the line object manually the line object still will not display the utilization. I suspect it is related to what is highlighted above. Here is an example though. Node A (Data Center) and node B (Remote Location),…

@rschroeder Rick, Ran across the same thing today making some dashboards. I noticed there was a 'caption' available for both Nodes and Interfaces so I was able to get it working by using this syntax: nodes.caption NOT LIKE '*BLG100router*'

Here is another one you can use, same as above but it uses ipaddress.jpg as in 10.1.212.3.jpg. I stuck with Caption because they are always unique per node. You could also probably use the node name but I always run into issues where some nodes have the fully qualified name and some don't - so tend to stay away from them.…

Thanks! Getting an error when trying to run it in SWQL Studio. Any suggestions?

I don't have NCM any longer at my new job but you should be able to set up a job to do the 'sh mac address-table' command against a single switch and then pipe the output of the command to files on your NCM server, you should then be able to search for MAC addresses within that directory with Windows explorer. If you…

Some of the metrics you wanted are available as soon as you add a node like CPU, Memory, Disk, Hardware, and Interfaces. The rest like services can be added as SAM templates. Try opening up a node and using the 'real time process explorer' and it will make templates pretty easily. There are a bunch already included with…

@"christopher.t.jones123" Thanks! That worked great! If anyone else wants to use this the code is below. The normal Down Nodes resource on the main page doesn't show the time the node went down so you can make a custom widget to replace that view with this one. SELECT NodeName AS [Node Name],…

This worked in SWQL Studio for me for the custom property _city SELECT NodeID, Caption FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE Nodes.CustomProperties._city not like '%new york%'

This is a fantastic and most timely response for a situation I am currently facing. I am proposing to our management that we spin up an exact duplicate at our second data center and work on the automation to keep the nodes, reports, and alerts replicated from the primary to the secondary. That way we can flip our NOC over…

Just a guess but try updating only the Custom ones and not the Default ones and see if you get an error. Some of the custom ones appear to be 'locked down' in custom property editor. Such as Location which is typically derived from SNMP.

Thanks for posting this!

One of our other monitoring tools is similar, we just force failover to the second datacenter while upgrading the first. Then fail back and upgrade the second. No downtime, plus once a side is down we can run the install script concurrently on all the downed servers instead of one at a time. 

I set up an SQWL query straight out of the DB: SELECT AccountID, Enabled, AllowNodeManagement, AllowMapManagement, AllowAdmin, CanClearEvents, AllowReportManagement, AllowAlertManagement, AllowCustomize, AllowUnmanage, AllowDisableAction, AllowDisableAlert, AllowDisableAllActions, AlertSound, MenuName, HomePageViewID,…
