Sometimes I would get into hosts at both ends of a conversation and look at netstat output to demonstrate a connection from IP address X on port Y (getting all the way across the network). In Windows, adding the -b switch was helpful to show this is the application that generated the traffic. Everyone always asked for…

As rschroeder stated, people should not be overlooked. Think about those US troops deployed who wear fitness trackers with GPS functionality, and then hand over their GPS data. Social media oversharing is a huge daily challenge. I would have a hard time allowing that access if my decision at work. I've always wondered if…

I'm doing this too...well I guess first I need the wife to kick it up a few notches. But if that happened, and the economy came back... I bet it could be very liberating, assuming I remembered to hustle.

Doubling PCs sounds a lot like doubling the patching fun! I can see where your chassis switch option might not be overkill. So when I was doing this stuff, we used dumb terminals. When the mainframe was unavailable, those terminals were obviously useless to us. Do labs/ ERs/ wards now lack dumb terminals? Are Windows PCs…

Certainly more able to repurpose hardware when functionality not done in software. Cases in point: NICs that worked in Linux, NICs that support access point mode, external modems.

We have a write mem job running every day. Also a batch file that counts the number of configs in the filesystem for the current date. That count is appended to a running list of number of configs by date. This batch file is on each poller so we watch the number of configs on each filesystem for any deviations.

Count me in the tin foil hat group. I had to get a background check around the time I was hearing about MySpace and kind of had a Richard Stallman moment. Fast forward about fifteen years and these look much more palatable than the mainstream platforms: FreedomBox - Debian Wiki FreedomBox/Features - Debian Wiki…

Chloe O'Brian on any given episode of 24: 'Jack, the subnet is crashing!' I think a consultant made that up to make her look silly, like when someone who speaks a foreign language 'helpfully' sets you up to say something and you come across like Borat to the listener/ native speaker of the language you are trying to speak.…

Pretty sure a honey badger could open it. Or just chew through any part of it.

dhanson, I sure appreciate the help. As it turns out, visibility (in its most literal sense) is the key for my customer, so the best I've been able to do so far is below. It gives status icons, which matter more than anything else for my audience. Can't recall where I lifted this code from...my only modification is the…

Don't you love scope creep? I reinvented this monitoring via SAM due to the need to display color icons (text on a dashboard was missed). Can a query similar to the last display only results above a certain temperature? Above temperature X as yellow icon and above higher temperature Y as red icon? The SWQL dhanson provided…

Awesome. Sure enough, treating the time as a string fools the app into leaving GMT time as GMT and not localizing it. It's always been a pet peeve of mine that when polling has failed (even if for months/ years), you can still see stale data on Node Details, so when I have an option to show how current information is, I do…
-
Success! How/ where could one add date/time? My attempts so far are so laughably wrong that I hesitate to share them. My script kiddie skills are not yet at the level I would like. There is a DateTime field in the CustomPollerStatus table. The information is right there, yet I still can't glue that timestamp to the query.…

Thanks dhanson, that seems to have done it. I guess I'll have to diff the latest version with the previous ones for a lesson learned. Looks like no PIVOT in this version--not that we started using PIVOT. I believe the first few attempts were written as SQL and not SWQL, correct? I sure appreciate the assistance.
-
Thanks dhanson, will update when I can try the query. Currently working something hotter. I sure appreciate the efforts. With each passing day, I retain a little more SWQL.

Regarding "how the VoIP portion works", you won't see that described in the release notes. You will in the admin guide and the VNQM section of SolarWinds website. I suppose you could watch a video and learn that. But having used IPSLA Manager/ VNQM for your use case for about 4 years, it's the most direct (least duct tape)…
-
Correct, a summary page. My current solution is a ReportWriter report (from which I could extract the SQL). I admire the desire to teach yourself SQL, as I am also self-taught. However, I have a horrible teacher. And sometimes when I do something in SWQL or SQL, I find out there really was a more straightforward way built…

The reason I say without VNQM is that our phone system is 3CX and thus this module wont give us any benifits. Ha! SolarWinds marketing trick…

Perhaps by the ASA sending out traps and/or syslog to your SolarWinds server. Create an alert in SolarWinds from the trap and/or syslog. https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11474976/how-do-i-configure-asa-5520-send-snmp-trap-when-ip-sla-monitored-por… If the SLA information needs to be polled rather than sent over…

Orion has been seeing the address change of this node (first image). I'm interested in seeing the IP changes. Mostly when the hostname fails to resolve, but knowing the last working IP is helpful too. It may be that the failure to resolve message will be to my liking...that condition just has not happened yet during the…

Haven't, but will look into it. Thanks.

dhanson, just curious...does that last query work for you as a Custom Query resource running directly on a web page? I'm asking since it does not for me. I sure appreciate all your assistance though. I rewrote so many Report Writer SQL queries during one upgrade I feel that I need to do everything in SWQL whenever…

That's a pretty good workaround for lack of something built-in. Duct tape could keep me attached to my seat in a car crash, but it's not the most elegant solution (believe Mythbusters did this...). This should not be construed as a criticism of the workaround, but rather a criticism of the need. If hardware health or…
-
I sure appreciate it. Maybe you'll have an issue someday where I can assist (I bet it won't be SWQL though).

Mario, I see your dilemma. I can't think of how to achieve what you're trying to do (other than doing as you have already done). Perhaps the moderator could recruit SolarWinds staff to weigh in?
