When you unzip the file there will be a ReadMe that will tell you where to copy it, but it should be the C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds folder. Just look for the MIBs.cfg file and you will know that you are in the right place.

My apologies. The above works with SolarWinds Orion applications. I'm not sure if this is available with LEM.

There is an option for that in Alert Actions:

Try changing the 1 to a 6 in this line: eventtime between dateadd(month, -1, getdate()) and getdate()

Thanks for the reply Roger, but I continue to be confused by the Admin Guide section on Monitors from a navigation standpoint. For instance, where exactly is the "Monitor List" ? Can you post a screen shot?

No one huh?

Create a summary view with just the network map resource on it. Edit the resource to select the desired map. Then edit the User account and set that view to be their home page.

You can export Orion reports to Excel. With a report open in Report Writer, go to the Report menu, choose the Data Format option and select 'raw data" before you export. That way, Excel can process the data correctly.

As long as a user has a link to Reports in a menu bar, then having Report management rights will allow that user to manage reports on the website. You will see the link to Manage Reports above and to the right side on the All Reports page. Does that help?

This is easily done with Orion alerts. In either a Basic or Advanced alert, just click on the Actions tab (in basic alerts) or the Trigger Actions tab (in advanced alerts) and select the email or SMS option.

If I understand your question, you want to change the "home page" view for the Network tab. To do that, you will have to edit the menu bar for the Network tab. Create a new view (or edit and rename an existing one) using Manage Views. Then, using the Customize Menu Bars, create a new menu bar item using the Add Item…

Do you have "all" selected on the trigger tab?

Anyone?

UPDATE: I found that the errors only happen when I am previewing the report during editing. The viewing of the report works normally at least.

Leon, Now that NPM 11.5 and SAM 6.2 are out there, I would like to re-visit this thread - but add Agent polling to the PRO/CON discussion. What are the considerations when deciding how to poll a Windows node? How do the various features (in particular some of the new ones) in NPM and SAM impact that decision?

QLE is right in that an Account Limitation consisting of the servers the user needs to see and then applied to that user account will limit his/her access to only those devices through the website. One other thing you could do would be to create a folder in the \Reports folder for this user and copy only reports you want…

You should be able to do this by editing the properties of the poller and selecting Enumeration for the Format option under Show Advanced Options. Then click on Map Values and enter the text equivalents for the raw outputs. Of course, you will have to determine from another source what those values are, but this approach…

I have always understood the interval to be 10 seconds. Any disagreements?

Are the devices SNMP capable? If so, then you could poll them for any data that is in the device MIB, although I would bet that you would have to create some custom MIB pollers to get anything interesting.

There are a couple of ways you can do this. One is to open Database Manager, query the Engines table. The replace the query in the top window with the following: Select PollingCompletion from Engines Refresh and you will see a single value in the results window. The other is to add the Polling Engine Status resource to a…

In Orion there are two maintenance procedures that are conducted sequentially with the "Compact Database" option from within the Database Manager. The first is the Nightly Maintenance procedure that statistically summarizes the detailed data into hourly and the hourly stats into daily stats. Daily stats and network events…

Anyone?

You can aggregate multiple tan]ble-based pollers into a single table. Just click on the Edit button of one of the table pollers. On the next screen, place a check in the box next to each poller that you want to combine. Submit the changes and you will have a single table with those pollers.

Would like to do the same thing with interfaces, with one additional requirement. I track the status of T1s at remote sites and I want to get an alert ONLY when more than two T1s are down at the same site. How can I do that?

anyone?

My guess is that you cannot access Volume data fields if you are configuring a Group alert. You should try using a Node custom property to flag the nodes that have the volume type that you want to alert on. Then, create a Volume alert (rather than a Group alert). You should be able to limit the Scope of the alert (on the…

I found the partial answer. One must include a link to some type of Summary in the menu bar used for the tab. For instance, i added the "Summary" menu item to the menu bar for the Home tab. Thata fixed the issue. The remaining questions is how is it determined what view is loaded when you click on that tab? Right now,…

When you say that the users are still able to see all devices, I assume that you are referring to a node list they have on the home page. If you will create a node custom property containing the servers and then use that same CP to create the server group dynamically, you will then be able to limit the node list and the…
