  • Great HowTo aLTeReGo​ - We're embarking on the migration from 2012R2 to 2016 for our production environment very soon, and we're re-using the same IPs/Hostnames for the new WS2016 servers. I'm being very cautious, since I don't have a UAT environment to test in first. Current config is: One HA Main Pool (different subnet…

  • Brandon, since your last response in June, has the team considered adding this to NPM? If so, when might we expect it? Have to agree with "Sol" and others here, this is a very basic attribute that should be included.

  • Ok. I just spent the last two hours going through each alert trigger and reset action to change the SMTP server. I understand this could be done in one fell swoop with the SQL script posted earlier, but I'm no SQL guru and didn't feel comfortable performing this. Point is, this is such a basic, fundamental variable - it's…

  • adeimel - excellent (and fast!) response. Many thanks. Not on 4.2 with this system yet. I'll set up a ticket with support to add the code to config.

  • Very happy to hear this. We have active maintenance, but I've never set up a beta NPM/SAM version before. Should I just download the beta version (after signup, of course) on to a testing server? IOW, does it come with its own license key?
    in Viewing hardware health across multiple servers in a single view Comment by cvanderwpc July 2012
  • Was there ever an answer for this? We just started getting this, but only for one counter on one system - Average Document Indexing Time - Exchange 2010 Mailbox Role Counters Advanced. Given the limited occurence, I'm suspecting a problem with the monitored host/application, not with the monitor.

  • Yes - big thanks for this. Replacing the PERC battery is one of the most common taks we have on our hundreds of Dell servers, so this monitoring is critical Right now, we use the Dell Open Manage Status (SNMP) APM module to do this monitoring, but would greatly prefer using the Hardware Health module instead.

  • Arrrgggh! Couldn't agree more with lfransen on this. Just spent a couple of hours going through the process of finding a floor plan, taking measurements, and setting up the heat map... only to find that our Cisco 2106 APs do not include CleanAir technology. In fact, the Cisco doc says "Currently, only Cisco Aironet 3500…

  • Absolutely - I'll third that motion.
    in Tell us your "Unknown" devices! Comment by cvanderwpc November 2011
  • Yes, the 2106 is definitely an older model (still works great, though), and Cisco needs to update their docs to reflect the fact that CleanAir is included the broader array of more current WLCs/APs. So, given that you just relayed the testing info, how hard would it be for the SW team update the WHM…

  • Almost four years later, this is still true. I just had a user ask why they didn't get another alert when their metric exceeded the Critical threshold (they did get the Warning alert). I've seen several good ideas/feature requests submitted to have SW solve this, with plenty of up votes. Seems like such feature should be…
    in Re-trigger email alert when state changes from Warning to Critical Comment by cvanderwpc March 2019
  • Don't see it in the list, and it's been (one of?) the top-requested improvements for years... DARK THEME! A creatively ingenious soul did just offer up a custom creation for this at Grays Sock (Solarwinds Orion Colourising Kit)​ and Dark Theme In a Day but as it's a separate .exe, it causes false-alarms in AV suites. I…
    in What We're Working on for NPM (Updated August 10, 2020) Comment by cvanderwpc February 2019
  • I know it's been several years, but I came across this question after a co-worker asked me the same thing. I decided to write a couple of monitors based on the Linux/Unix Script template. One is for RHEL/CentOS 4/5/6 and uses the "service" command. The other is for RHEL/CentOS 7 and uses the "systemctl" command. Just added…

  • Please add the Actiance Vantage (formerly Facetime IMAuditor) MIBs (attached here as a zip file) to your database .1.3.6.1.4.1.6533 Thanks, Chris
    in Tell us your "Unknown" devices! Comment by cvanderwpc February 2011
  • It looks like this Thwack thread is the most visible way of getting a request noticed, so I'm chiming in with reply #4. We have ticket 225661 opened this week with support on this very subject. As recent converts from OpsView to Orion, we were very surprised and dissapointed this was not an included feature in Advanced…
    in Feature Request - Advanced Alert Acknowledgment Comment by cvanderwpc March 2011
  • . In the popup, rather than try to display Group titles ("Unknown" since no associated groups exist for the aggregates), why not just display the name of the two locations? For instance, in the above case, we have devices in Morrisville, NC and Raleigh, NC. While the "Street Address" fields in the WorldMapPoints table…
