Cool. I also have this article i wrote on scripting in SAM. SAM Script Component Monitors - Everything you need to know If you run into any problems, create a new post and mention me in it.

Scott, just want to make sure you're running the latest version of NCM 7.5. SolarWinds released native backups for F5 in that version which include the config file plus the ability to backup the binary UCS file.
-
I'm not aware of any way to do it.
-
ah, gotcha. glad you got it figured out.
-
I'm not aware of any API key, which would be nice. I've always have to authenticate with user/pass every time.

jvb's answer is the best way, that's how i do it currently for my CPU alerts. In addition, i modified my alert to not have a hard-coded value. This is a write-up I put together that outlines how to change it. Modify Alerts To Be Smarter With Node Thresholds It allows the alert engine to look at each node's threshold so you…

Can you provide a screenshot of the alert trigger condition? Also, the lowest internal that can be used for polling is 60 seconds.

I had Kemp load balancers where i stored my SSL certs, even used SNI to stack the certificates on a single VIP. I created this powershell monitor that worked well for me. SSL Certificate Expiration - SNI capable

another thread started How do I configure NTA to monitor my VM?

+1 to what yaquaholic said. I've used SAM and powershell to scrape info off websites that didn't work with the HTTP component monitor or with WPM.
-
NPM/NCM work great on the network level for what you outlined. However, Jenkins/Whck are software applications that run on either Windows or Linux. In that scenario SAM would be the better choice.

So the short answer is yes, but I want to understand more about the batch file. With the agent installed on that node, you can use the Server & Application Monitor to run windows scripts. However, if the batch file needs to be run at very specific times or only during part of the day then this option might not be best.…

Sorry for the delay. The script should output to a log file. I checked mine and it was blank...it you're is working then it should include what each alert variable is reporting. it is found on your Orion server here: C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs If yours is blank too then i might need to figure out why and update the…
-
Yeah, scripts wont run in the root of C:\ due to permissions. Try moving the .bat file into a folder like C:\Solarwinds\. You can also redirect the output of the .bat file to capture the console output as shown below. This is what the Execute an external program line would look like. "C:\SolarWinds\test.bat" >…

If the interfaces are truly in an unknown/stale state then you can have Orion automagically remove them. There is a setting in Settings > All Settings > Polling Settings > Database Settings Section. Check the box to delete stale interfaces and you can update the retention days for it. Stale interfaces would be removed…

@"cgregors" , that is the one.

well done @"mesverrum" , as always!

I created some scripts for Slack and anyone can use here. Slack Alert Integration - Overview

It still should apply. Is there anything listed in the log file? If not, if you copy the contents of the script body and save it on the Orion server as a .ps1 file and run it in PowerShell, what does it show?
-
The easiest way to do that is with PerfStack. The latest version of SAM 6.6.1 should have added a feature to embed a perfstack dashboard as a widget on any other dashboard page. The other ways would be through a Custom Object Chart or through a custom SQL/SWQL Query. If you're just needing a current speed for all sites vs…

Absolutely, I would recommend installing the Windows Agent on that remote print server. A powershell script with automatically run on a remote server if the agent is installed. You'll also need to make sure that the speedtest_cli.py file exists on that print server and the location of that file is corrected in the script.
-
Depends on your need. If you're just after current traffic patterns then NTA should be enough. If you're wanting link speed tests then you would need SAM.

looks amazing!

If you expand any of the MySQL component monitors you can look at the query that is being executed. All of the ones that I checked just reference the INFORMATION_SCHEMA database. You should be fine to lock any MySQL account to just that db.
-
Nothing standing out with what you provided. Can you create a new thwack thread and tag me on it? We can pick up the troubleshooting from there. I'm hoping it's something simple but you never know...
-
The Simulating/Executing will never work, unfortunately. But any issues with triggered alerts is something that we could look into. I'd start with copy/paste of the alert action, execute an external program to make sure all of the syntax is correct.
-
Are you just simulating/executing the alert? Or is it being trigger on its own? The former doesn't populate all of the alert variables, so it doesn't really work. If it is the latter then we'd want to look at it closer.
-
mesverrum, I completely agree with you. If you have a custom script already then you might as well build the remediation into to it. The scenario above had the requirement to use existing non-script based component monitors so this was my work-around.

This is a wonderful piece of art! Great work!
