The answer to your question boils down to whether your devices will report this information in response to an SNMP poll. If so, then you can create an alert for it using the Universal Device Poller tool.

Thank you for posting this, and for following up with the resolution. You just saved me a call to support and a lot of time!

Done! Hopefully msimmons@fult.com can help you out! ~Terry

I got to do a UX session on this and the "pretty flippin' awesome" assessment actually undersells it a bit. This is one of the best usability upgrades I've seen come out of Solar Winds in quite a while.

Your best bet for this is going to be to use thresholds. If your default memory alerting threshold should be 75%, then you will want to set this as your default threshold within Orion. In order to do this, go to the Admin page and select "Orion Thresholds" from within the "Settings" section. Once you are on that page,…

Please say yes!

Not directly, but if you know the length of your polling cycle, you can use the "Do not trugger this action until condition exists for more than..." section of the Trigger Condition tab to ensure that the condition exists for a certain amount of time before alerting. Just make sure the time period is long enough that the…

Hi Jeff, I assume you meant to post this in the NPM section. You may wish to move this so the right people see it and you get more relevant answers. What you will need for this is to create Universal Device Pollers which will query the values you are looking for. You can do this by running the Universal Device Poller tool…

Will this report do what you need? Node Downtime Reports

This is covered in the Evaluation Verion FAQ on the web site. Q: What are the limitations with the free Network Topology Mapper evaluation version? A: Export/Import & Saving functions are disabled (except export to Visio – this is enabled with restrictions). 70% of the nodes discovered during the network scanning phase…

If you're referring to the "from" email address in the alerts, that is set within each individual alert action. To change this, you would unfortunately need to update each alert.

Email settings are configured on a per-alert basis. Check the configuration of a known-working alert and one that isn't working and compare for differences. Also, is it possible that your SMTP server is somehow rate-limiting messages?

Quick bump for the morning crowd. Any ideas?

Under that group's account settings, set all the drill-down view options to "None." They'll still be able to click the links (I haven't found a way to prevent that), but when they do they'll get a message saying they don't have permission to view the page with "Back" and "Return to Home" buttons.

Interesting. I'm having the same problem. Wish I could help.

Have you also changed the polling engine to be used for that node? If so, then likely the test is happening from the original poller and the test on save is happening from the new one. If that's the case, then check if you have an access list blocking SNMP queries from the new poller.

I thought that was pretty awesome, too. I actually mentioned it in a meeting last week while discussing custom properties. As expected, it got a laugh. :-)

To my knowledge, it's not possible to trigger an alert on the absence of a trap. What are you attempting to monitor in this way? Perhaps there's another way to do it.

Two things I can suggest: 1. Sign into your customer portal at Customer Portal Login | SolarWinds and see if you have any licenses that haven't been activated yet. 2. Log into your Solar Winds server desktop (not the web interface), run the licensing tool from there and run through the actication of your licenses again. If…

At my current and previous employers, we monitored both test and production environments from the same SW instance without issue. Monitoring your test and production systems from the same SW instance doesn't introduce any interaction between the test and production systems, but only between each system and the SW…

The capability does not currently exist, however you may want to vote on this idea if you would like to see the capability in the future:

Are you sending Syslog entries to your Orion server? If so, why not monitor and trigger an email on the corresponding messages?

Just add Volume Name does not contain Memory as a condition on the alert.

While rebooting a Cisco IP phone... "The screen on the phone says Java, does that mean we get coffee?"

When they couldn't figure out how to clear the "38 SMOKE/FIRE" message from their alarm panel and turn off the alarm... and they could smell smoke.

How many nodes do you have? What are you looking to accomplish with your implementation? Hardware monitoring? Application monitoring? Network hardware configuration management and backup? All of the above?

Do you have any access lists, or software or hardware firewall settings, which may need to be configured to allow polling traffic from the secondary poller?

If you're referring to the free IP Address Tracker tool, it's a separate product, available for download here: FREE IP Tracker – IP Address Tracker | SolarWinds I could be wrong, but I believe it's a separate tool, not integrated with the Orion platform. The upgrade should not affect it at all.
