Thanks for posting this. I'm working on an alert action script to write incoming syslogs into the Solarwinds.Net event log. 

I was over running my NPM DB with Syslog/SNMP messages so had to front end it with a Kiwi server and doing the filtering at the Kiwi then sending only the important ones over to Orion. At some point then I started over running my front end Kiwi so had to move all of the messages off to another product that could handle the…

Looking forward to seeing * Cisco ACI Monitoring

This is great! Thanks for posting it.

I thought this was being moved into the Log Event Manager?

Thanks for posting! Great stuff.

Any updates on what the 'Next Generation Orion Mapping' will look like?

I was using the latest version and had the option to add a tag.

Time to upgrade

Make Log Analyzer so it is not single threaded. Go vote here: Right now it's like that center fielder that caught the first ball of the game and now stands out there watching the rest fly by....

Great job on documenting @ jhynds I was able to also get an alert to reset from a later syslog message by setting up a second Log Analyzer rule that looks for the reset message. Example, Alert-UPS on battery Power and Reset-UPS on Commercial Power Just make a rule for both, creating an alert for only the first one then…

So far I have only used Syslog but the contents of the message are contained in this variable ${N=OLM.AlertingMacros;M=OLMAlertMessage.EventMessage}

10 years later and still being downloaded! Thanks!

Nice write up! Added to my favorites, thank you

Awesome post. Thank you!

Excellent work! You hav earned the most coveted Bob Marley Bookmark Award!

There is always the Orion SDK option and running an external script to unmanage them. It's fairly easy and you have complete control over the whole process.

Not sure if this will help with your scenario but give it a try. Try using the Edit feature Then you can apply filters You can use Caption Not Like to exclude a node.

Thanks Sascha!

Try loading up SWQL studio and running your reports from there. Then you can customize them as you wish.

Did you set up your WMI account on your new Orion system? Under Settings, All Settings, then Credentials?

Thanks for posting this.

Yes you will need an additional database to install it. In my instance I have 3 separate databases. 1 - NCM, 1 - Netflow, 1 - Log Analyzer. Before installing you want to be aware that it only processes one unique message per host per minute in it's current state. Here is some more information on this 'bug' Multiple alerts…

I will be installing this week in my test environment. Need to see if the 'ALTER ANY CONNECTION' requirement is still there in order to complete the install. I can't install 4.5 in my production environment as our SQL DBA will not allow that elevated account setting our our shared SQL clusters. Probably wouldn't fly with…

As soon as I get my lab back up and running I'm going to trial this product again. I had it at my last employer. Let's see if my new one likes it.

I just had an internal customer asking if they could record DTMF (touchtone) dialing into a transaction to test out their IVR systems...... Going to have to give that one some thought.

There are a lot of issues when coding synthetic transactions against a website. With WPM its a fairly simple record/playback look for event, etc. Problems arise when you have items like a random popup for a survey show up when it's not expected, then the transaction shows up as a fail. Most of the other tools I have used…

Maybe roll this product into SAM?

I wish I could use all of these cool features but I'm not able to install the agent on my machines. Each 'silo' uses their own tools, and it's usually the one provided from that 'silo's vendor. It's a shame because Solarwinds has some nice solutions and features at a decent price point for most of their offerings.
