I pulled that out of one of our monitors, and now that I look at it, I don't think it will alert the way they expected it to... but you get the idea. I think I am going to rewrite that.

If you have SAM, then you can add an application monitor with a powershell component. The script could be something like: $AvgTime = Test-Connection $args[0] -Count 3 -ea 0 | measure-Object -Property ResponseTime -Average $AvgTime if ( $AvgTime.Count -gt 0 ) { "Statistic.responsetimems: $($AvgTime.Average)" } else {…

There's a couple ways to look at it. The easiest way would look something like this: report with custom table and a custom swql as the datasource: SWQL: select c.ComponentID, c.ComponentName, c.Application.Name as ApplicationName, c.Application.node.Caption as Node, cs.Key from Orion.APM.Component C Join…

There is a setting under the alert action that will repeat the action if the alert is still active after that time.

Now I am thinking that you should abandon the entire idea of using groups. To put it bluntly groups just suck in Orion/Solarwinds Platform. If you have one or two "applications" you want to do like this, then create a custom view for each one with a bunch of "Custom tables" or "custom query" widgets to get all of the…

Oh! I added the wrong widget... There is an "AppStack for ${CAPTION}" widget. That one on the Group details page shows exactly what you got. It only shows objects directly in the group, not the related entities. And you are right, it's not going to show what you want without a LOT of work The way this "should" work, but…

I'm confused as to what we are looking at. Is this the "AppStack Environment" widget on the group details page? *IF* that is correct, then I am getting much different results than you are. My results are opposite but equally wrong, in that my appstack is showing everything. every group, every app, every node, etc, even for…

as a step to learn how alerting works, I would suggest you make a specific alert for this one monitor. Hopefully later you will create an alert that is more generic, but baby steps. Starting off, make sure your application monitor is green, then lets get started. "Alerts & Activity" -> Alerts Manage Alerts (over on the…

Everything above plus the below: We do use APP Insights Active Directory, but l don't think we alert on any of it. LDAP User Experience Monitor (because of services that use AD's LDAP for lookups) TCP Port Monitor for port 389 (not sure why, I think this might also be monitored in one of the other ones also) DNS Internal…

1) something is not right. 2) Open a ticket, especially if it's more than one node. 3) I have seen this get fixed in the Orion Platform 2022.x.x , by putting the node into Unmanaged, wait about 5 minutes, remanage, then give it a few minutes. (and it's important that it's unmanage and not just mute)

Well, at this point I would make a SAM monitor that calls a script to run that or similar query every 5 minutes. And a monitor on the tcp port 17777. When the monitor alerts then check swql studio to see what happens. Check server logs (there are a ton of them, and I don't know which would be the right one). Checking SQL…

Does the query work reliably using "SWQL Studio"? simple query like that should be well under a second.

That's exactly what I mean.

Can you ping the "next hop" ip address for each of them?

Ultimately it's going to come down to your risk acceptance. if you can accept the risk of going with the most current version, then go with the online central upgrade path, it will save you a lot of time. (until the day it cost you a lot of time). Me personally, I always do the offline download, and make sure it's one…

I have a few polling engines (including the main polling engine) that are in-place upgrades from 2012r2 to 2016 to 2019 to 2022. The only suggestion would be to upgrade Orion (or whatever it's called now) first, but I have currently orion 2022.4.1 (so not the current version) running on server 2022 in production. I have…

Note: I ran this in powershell 5

Well, since I also needed to do this, I figured I would just go ahead and write something up. Yes it's more complicated than it should be, I agree there should be a way to do this in the web interface easier, but this is the current state of things. After you have the SDK installed, here is a bit of powershell code that…

1) Those are SQL statements for directly modifying the MS-SQL databases. 2) Don't do that. 3) See #2 4) and just for clarity. Don't do that. That would need to be an API call to do what you want. https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki I don't have the code for deleting an interface, but maybe someone around here does.

No, maybe, and conditionally... The "No" part is that generically there needs to be a way to query the nodes resources, like a list resources, then see what's not checked. That does not exist in SWQL. Maybe it could be done in a script using the SDK, but I don't know that. Conditionally if that data exists in another way,…

Sure. Is the chart on a view, dashboard, or report? there are only 2 things about it you can chart, the response time and the up/down status (if it got the proper results or not).

1) Contact your sales person, see if they have any insights into why this is taking so long to get resolved. If you don't have or don't know your sales person, you can summon one with an easy spell on the website called "request a quote". 2) Are the agents "Agent Initiated" or "Server initiated"? Can you switch them to the…

Similar problem I would fix by setting the node to "unmanaged" for a couple minutes then re-manage. Note, it had to be unmanaged and not muted. It was ok to do a schedule unmanaged, so you don't forget to re-manage it. I never found a fix, but my issues seemed to go away when I upgraded to 2022.4.1.

The answer is always no, but depending on which service account you are talking about it can be much more difficult than others. For monitoring with WMI, while I am sure it's possible, I have always used a user that is a local admin. If it needed to be more secure, then I run the agent and don't need a user, it runs as…

Thanks for the heads up.

I have not upgraded to 2023.3 yet, I'm still on 2022.4 and will be for at least 6 monts. So up to this point the agent has worked 2 even 3 versions back, with the catch that it's a fully installed and working version of the agent. IF you try to install an older version of the agent, then there might be issues because the…

The title has "virtual environment"... so is this not already in a VM?

To directly answer your question, 1 nic for all of it. trying to get the APE's to use a different NIC will be difficult. Using stackable additional polling engines with 2 (main+1) maybe on a stretch of 3 (main+2) can help with being able to better utilize your hardware... but 6? you are in for some difficult times. My real…

This query seems valid in SWQL Studio. One note, that might or might not be related. Remove the "Top 50" from the actual query in the report. If you want that feature then handle it in the "Edit Table" screen as "Show Only the top 50" Off the rails side note: Add a custom property to Application, something like "Customer",…

Use custom properties. Create a custom property for Applications, called something like "AlertingStatus". You can make it a boolean, but I would suggesy make it a list of items with values starting off with just "Enabled" and "Disabled"... or maybe even just "Enabled". Next assign that custom property and value to ALL…
