Thanks. Creating this report with a time of last 5 minutes accomplished what i needed.

Maybe use test-path, instead of doing a directory listing? I'm not sure if it handles thousands of files any better than get-childitem. Benefit of gci is that you could capture the error and write it to message. You could use psremoting if you want to test it from the web server itself and not from your poller. test-path…

Maria, I do not see any messages in my Inbox. Thanks, Ben

This is what support sent me this morning, fixed my issues. 

Which hotfix were you running prior to upgrade?

Thanks for adding to documentation. This is what i was trying earlier, but i must have been just been trying to hit at the wrong time(appliance busy maybe?). Seems to work fine now. What i was seeing earlier. *id/password and hostname removed to protect the innocent. $swis = Connect-Swis -username id -password password…

Migrated without any major issues.

Did you do a migration or a migration + upgrade? I dont see any reason why it shouldnt work, but I am adding in a bit of complexity to any troubleshooting I guess by doing both changes at the same time. Thanks

Understand.. I think the second script i posted will work for what you want to do. Maybe add some logging, better debug output to it. --Ben

I am using Alert Manager(Screenshot below). I could probably remove the -IP parameter and just pull it from the nodes table. See this FixAllOfflineVol_Windows.ps1 for the same version of the script,except it will pull back a list of all offline windows volumes and attempt to fix them. I just threw this together pretty…

I noticed when I ran the scailability installer, the hotfixes did not show up under installed hotfixes. Do the hotfixes get applied, but not "installed" via an installer? Thanks Ben

desk in open office hell.... Its been worse.

I dont know if it is related, but we actually have a ticket open in regards to reports showing incorrect data for NTA. In our case we were trying to generate Tosid reports The last update I had form my coworker is that is should be addressed in the next RC.

solartec is not a table. It looks like you are trying to delete a row from the agentmanagment_agents table. You want to be very careful makes deletes to the tables in SQL. Is there a reason you cannot remove the agent through the web console? https://yourorionserver/Orion/AgentManagement/Admin/ManageAgents.aspx

I add each cluster service as a node and then monitor the cluster resources on that node. For example. I have a 2 node sql cluser node1 - monitor local resources(os boot for example) node2 - monitor local resources(os boot for example) Cluster Service - monitor cluster resources(volumes,sql service,etc..) I hope this made…

Thanks for this post, i was going a little crazy this morning trying to find where the alertlog data went. I noticed the alerthistory table does not have the contents of the message like alertlog had though. I would use this in the past to verify emails/ see why they failed to go out. Is this data gone in 11.5?

So this is how i ended up fixing this. I grabbed all the assigned pollers from a node i knew was configured correctly and then ran the following script. Note: I only did windows nodes and some pollers may not apply to you(SRM for example). I also did -trusted in order to use my logged in AD creds. This is also very chatty,…

If you just want to validate the action is working correclty, that is easy to test. Just go to Settings-Manage Alerts-Actions and test the action. If you want to test your trigger logic, that is a little trickier in my experience. Do you have a test node or the ability to spin one up to test the logic?

You can check the polling interval in the template and/or assigned monitor(template can be overwritten). From what i have seen managing solarwinds the past 4 years, 5 minutes is usually the default.

11.5.1 was a bit of a rough upgrade for me, but 11.5.2 has been solid

Just go to Manage Nodes, search for the node, then expand the tree and you can delete any object on the node.

Are you limiting snmp access to certain OID trees? If an SNMPwalk doesnt show the volumes either, than would be what i would check

I believe 30 days is the default. Go to Settings-Polling Settings to check what your orion instance is set to.

Anyone else looking for an answer... prepare to be disappointed. Hopefully this is on the roadmap. Otherwise, Solarwinds will most likely be off of ours. 'There is no automated process to mass discover agents you have to do it manually. Not sure if this is possible with SQL scriptas we are not the best resource on that.…

Did you ever find any work around for this? 1. I have tried inserting directly into database, no luck. 2. Automating form submission with python. I think i'm hitting an issue with a submit javascript function not running. I'm not getting an error back, but the agent is also not being added. I am tempted to try using…

Not sure what i did, but when trying to complete my order i get the following. I opened the link from my phone earlier, but safari flipped out before i could actually order. Guessing it has something to do with this. You have too many HOODs in your cart. You have 1 in your cart but do not have any credits for this product.…

* 7/27/2015 * Solarwinds Polo * 1 * Large * Store removed thwack points, but never took me to an order screen or sent a followup Email.

My doc was vary specific to my environment, so here is a more general flow. I will come back and edit htis if i Missed anything. Additional Work/Notes:: * I kept server names and ips the same to minimize change. There is process to use new names by editing SQL tables if you want to go that route however. * You may or may…

I migrated my main poller, 3 additional pollers, additional web and NTA server from 2008 R2 to new server 2016 instances and upgraded to the latest version of npm/sam/ncm/nta/ipam/wpm. Other than a few oversights on my part due to sleep deprecation, it went off without a hitch. I have a detailed plan i wrote up prior to…
