Another option is install VNQM and run a test between switches if you are using Cisco.

I have had similar issues and I always do a check at every step of the transaction to verify the page loaded at expected. Whenever it was a random failure I usually found that either 1 out of x servers in the cluster was failing and since the load balancer randomly chose the server the transaction would fail x percent of…

I usually create a non existent test node like 10.1.1.1 and then put a condition in the alert temporarily to include node name contains 10.1.1.1. The other option is to change the trigger condition to be Up. I use these frequently to test out the working of alerts, ensuring the variables are correct etc. 

You can set the the threshold lower temporarily and do the test.

Is there possible a rule catching them? Try making a catch all rule and moving it to the top of your rules list?

The service is running correct?

Thank you for taking a look at improving the Syslog and Trap rules. In my environment they are just as important as the advanced alerts are. Currently I am using two different tools, one for Syslog and another for SNMP traps. It would be nice to be nice to be able to condense this all down into one tool. Please consider…

If you are expecting to find ICMP only devices in your scan you need to change the default to a 'Yes' when setting up your scans. It is not on by default.

The switch may not have SNMP configured or it may be configured incorrectly OR someone it hitting it from another device with an incorrect SNMP string. In our equipment we specify which IP's are able to access SNMP and whenever an IP that isn't allowed hits them they send out a similar message.

This works fantastic! What's the easiest way to filter only specific alerts an to this view? In my case I only want node down alerts that contain "Intel P3 Node Down" in the alert name or description.

In Report Writer top left of the screen select Report then Show SQL. A new tab called SQL will appear. You can edit your time there.

We have always disabled all of them and then copied the ones we want to use. We also came up with a naming scheme for them so for example if it's a SAM alert it is indicated in the name and then there is an associated number with it so we can match up a SAM template with an alert name. Also in the alert actions we always…

Can you post up what your custom report looks like?

Re: Fast Polling You can read up on it here.

You can make a custom report with Report Writer Try this: You can skip the first two conditions below and just use the third This should get you started.

Installed 12.4 NPM, SAM, VNQM in my lab last week onto existing SQL database the DBA had built for me. Installed as DB Owner with no issues. Don't own a lab license for NTA so didn't test it. Tried to install NPM, SAM, VNQM and NTA in my production environment using two existing databases the DBA built for me as DB Owner…

I'll put this out there in case anyone wants to use Klog. Copy/Paste the code below into notepad and save it as YOURNAME.bat This is an example of how to use Klog to send a trap. Here is the syntax klog -h 10.157.148.152 -l 2 -m "Alert-This is the alert message I want to send" The code below will send a trap to your…

It sounds like you need to make some new views instead of editing the 'Nodes' view. From the main menu (assuming you are admin) Settings -> All Settings ->Manage Views. You can create a new view, or copy a view from there. I would suggest not modifying the existing views unless you have worked on Solarwinds a lot. If you…

Look under 'domains' in NTA and you will find them. You can also make your own filters in the Flow Navigator on the left side.

I had the same issue during that upgrade. Alerts, custom reports, dashboards, etc.. and the company had outsourced coding a custom created capacity planning system that took several years of development to create and everything just broke. As far as I know they are still on version 9.

You can import/export them individualy

Depends on the role you are trying to fill. If its Network Management then Cisco, all of the '+' courses such as A+ are a good start. If you want to be really good at using Solarwinds I would do some studies in SQL and look into the Wireshark cert as well.

I use Multiple Object Charts to display multiple machines on the same chart. Below is an example for CPU usage but pretty much any metric can be used. I don't know how to have them created dynamically as I always go in and drag the objects onto the chart. If anyone knows this trick I would love it if you shared it. The…

Another observation I made on running executables as a alert action such as using Klog or Trapgen to forward on messages to another host. Dont put them into your windows, window system or windows system32 on Windows 2012. Put them somewhere like C:\scripts\. Apparently 2012 hides files copied from one user from others, so…

Issue resolved! I added 'Administrators' to the token as shown below and now I can restart a service using the out of the box Solarwinds command below: C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\APM\APMServiceControl.exe ${N=SwisEntity;M=ComponentAlert.ComponentID} -c=RESTART ***(make sure the path at the beginning…

I think I'm going to go with this one and then I can use the native Solarwinds method to restart services. aLTeReGo confirmed what is going on with the rights issue with the alerting service in the link below. Since the alerting service is running as 'local system' it can not execute remote commands against servers…

Can you give an update on what changes we may see in the future with this resource? I would like to use it as a replacement for one of the tools in our NOC.

The first thing I would want to monitor is my power consumption, cost per Kwh and the payback for the coin you are currently mining. Then 4. When profitability falls. 5. When its time to change to a different currency. 6. Current Hashrate. 7. When it's time to sell off the current miners and purchase faster ones.

I usually export mine out to Excel and then import them back in after I make the changes. Makes some things way easier.

Any new activity on this? I'm trying to add links manually that connect now doesn't discover
