I did as suggested in an earlier post and now get alerts--albeit alerts with broken SQL syntax: "disable the reverse DNS lookup in Orion (in web console | Settings | Polling Settings | uncheck Perform reverse DNS lookup | Submit)" I now get a message stating the node name and that is has changed and then MACRO SQL ERROR -…

Bingo.

So perhaps for noobs and anyone else unaware...NPM product should indicate at least on a Node Details page, and ideally in a very 'in your face' way elsewhere (banners), no stats available on these devices...click here for more. In enterprise environments with multiple shifts and other teams allowed to add devices (and…

Maybe that's only the first of several errors, as removing that comma didn't make a difference. (Obviously needed to be removed though. Thanks for catching that.)

Glad to hear that worked ">mcordero‌.

For an external node monitored by node name and not IP, is there a way to alert when that IP changes? What I thought would work has not (despite the resolved IP changing almost daily): The "Last 25 events" resource for the node shows "IP address of <I've removed hostname> changed from <I've removed this IP address> to…

via web...edit nodes --> custom property editor --> create a custom property against node with a name that suggest it will be an email (for example CustomerEmail) --> populate email addresses for nodes as desired. (You can also select many nodes in Manage Nodes via checkbox and then edit the nodes. But the custom property…

Looks like a 10 second poll is possible...perhaps even less? Configure the ASA for Redundant or Backup ISP Links - Cisco This example is for ASA 5520.

Wonder if something like this is an option: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/10954526/how-get-ip-sla-statistics-snmp-oids-needed Maybe you could directly query the OID involved.

bman6074 The forum members are very HELPful. I LIKE that. If only there was a way to demonstrate that.

Believe you can add GROUP BY IMPACT before the ORDER BY section Like this: GROUP BY IMPACT, ORDER BY IMPACT ASC (DISCLAIMER--I am not able to access a SolarWinds environment at the moment. I recall doing this though.) @bman6074, I'm a SLQ idiot (see--I can't even spell it), but the query above looked like many of the…

I believe I did the same thing. Sometimes necessary. Luckily not too often. I might have done via Sonar Discovery though, as I frequently add sixteen similar devices at a time. In either case, I add as ICMP or external (vs SNMP) and then jam SNMPv3 credentials in database. And change polling method in the database.

Anything helpful in your Inetpub logs? Or perhaps Firefox Live Headers (plugin)? Perhaps a useful clue somewhere if you access the view and then the gauge--one after the other.

Which can be ultimately controlled by custom properties if they are used as a condition for a dynamic group.

rschroeder Transcript seems to cover view limitations. (I don't watch videos. You kids get off my lawn!) https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Adding_View_Limitations_-_Video_

Yes manage views --> add view I believe. Not in front of a SW install so going from memory. Then you will create a view limitation.

Can you validate that the logic you used works in a report? Showing what you expect to see? Might even consider making the report your finished product unless the timestamp and alert action functionality are important--in that case making alert vs. report would make sense. Is your alert configured for an action now? If you…

Why not? Alert on the group (of interfaces) vs. the node or the interface. Make as many groups as you need. Would this not scale for you?

Keep in mind that this hard coded interface ID in your alert could bite you down the line. For example, if you ever listed resources and unchecked. And later added. As I might do as a last resort if stats stopped on it and nothing else worked. A reference to a self-documenting custom property would be a little easier to…

Wasn't really a factor. It was mainly not worth the time to keep maps updated. And an instance where senior leadership saw a region being up on a map when a switch was down. I explained the slider that set the percent of nodes that had to be down. They still wanted a map to show down for a single down node. Due to naming…

Thanks for the call today Jiri Cvachovec.

Does your network have any QoS? If any congestion, might be a casualty. Can you packet capture off your SolarWinds server's NIC and at least confirm the expected quantity/ timing there?

I expect you will find both solutions similar. There may (or may not) be value in leveraging this group elsewhere--another report/ view/ alert. You may find value in doing it without the SWQL/ SQL hammer, which I like to get out once in a while. Sometimes I use SWQL and SQL to step around what a page is already doing, and…

Can you share a screenshot?

dhanson, surely the issue is PEBKAC. My modified version doesn't work (Error: A query to the SolarWinds Information Service failed): WITH a AS ( SELECT TOP 100 c.UniqueName AS [Poller Name], s.Status, s.DateTime AS [LastPolled], n.Caption FROM CustomPollerAssignment a JOIN CustomPollers c ON a.CustomPollerID =…

dhanson, you rock. Thanks.

Can't tell much from your redacted image. If you packet capture on the monitored server (capturing only traffic going to SolarWinds/ only SNMP) you could validate when/ how much SNMP polling/ responses and same for SNMP traps.
