Excellent information sir! I will be doing my multi-site install with multiple WSUS servers. I'm assuming these are downstream and not separate WSUS servers as well. None of these sites have a VPN either so I'm trying to keep things down to a minimum. Since you can have 32 simultaneous WMI connections by default then does…

Hello juniordev! I finally fixed this issue in my script with the hover over. The only thing I'm not getting to work right is the status check selection upon node addition. It's still defaulting to SNMP for status and response time checks. I'd like ICMP as it's faster.

I am being slow this Friday. Looks like I was pulling other nodes interfaces and volumes when I was verifying the code. Also found out that I'm passing the discovery nodeID and not the newly generated nodeID. Now that that's taken care of I'm getting an XML generation error. My node is still defaulting to snmp polling for…

Ah ok. Yeah I was using the "Lazy" method since I assumed there was some sort of link between the Custom Properties table and the Nodes table I could use. It's no longer throwing the error but it's still not setting the ImportedFromScript value from false to true. Also looking into the table NodeCustomProperties there is…

Also I'm not seeing my alert actions re-trigger due to the timer elapsing like the key should be doing. I've cleared my alerts from the alert manager which caused the alert to fire with the NEW prepended but after waiting for 15 minutes I've yet to see these actions re-trigger causing all these nodes to be shown again in…

Right, I have all that information but thank you for posting it here for others to benefit from. If this isn't something that is being tracked then can I just remove the offending key?

I sent this very question to tech support and they got back with monitoring the tomcat6 service, using net-snmp, and monitor the postgres process. Your idea is interesting though.

This is a different installation I'm working on. This is currently upgraded to 5.6.2.

Thank you. That is unfortunate as we'd like to create a report that would tell us the update status for a Patch Manager group rather than having to select certain machines out of many WSUS groups. Though I believe it can be done this way it'd be a lot easier to target the PM group for this. I've had a feature request…

Do you happen to know the frequency at which that table is cleared?

Ok so a little digging and I found that <something /> is an empty set and is the same as <something></something>. Now my question is do we need these empty sets or can we remove them. My attempts all lead to the following error message:

We tried adding a new providor and moving the array to it but that didn't help either. We noticed there were a bunch of arrays we were decomishoning and when they were cleaned out everything started working again. These decom arrays either had hosts with no LUNs or LUNs with no hosts. Not sure which was causing the issue…

Thanks Adam. The thing I'd like to know is how does Orion know when to turn the alert off. If I have an alert that is only set to trigger when last boot has changed is true, will this alert never reset? If it does then how is Orion figuring out when to turn this alert off if the reset condition is default to when the…

I won't be able to test this until later but I'm pretty sure we tried OperStatusLED and StatusLED but neither gave us what we wanted. Would I be able to call OperStatusLED from the NPM instance by using Orion.website and pull back the /images/small-<name>.gif? Could you also provide that example for using case with SWQL.…

I've fixed this by repairing the website. I'd like to know what would have caused this and if there is a way to fix it without having to drop all services in the middle of the work day.

One thing that is hampering my debugging of this issue is the fact that the output message box is extending beyond the screen size. I'm unable to read the last portion. Is there a log I can read or some way to get the box to scroll? I'm trying to get this to connect to an external mail source at the moment as we don't have…

That will copy the contents of FolderA to %AllUsersProfile%, if you are looking to copy the folder with content you may have to run two commands. One to create the proper folder destination and another to copy the content of your source directory. It may be easier to just use xcopy with the /s or /e switch to ensure the…

I'm fairly certain we have a contract with you but I'm waiting for that response from my boss. As soon as I get the work I'll drop you a message.

I've been testing with another executable that would essentially do nothing when executed but I am having trouble getting the WSUS server to download the package. I'm getting a " Publishing operation failed because the console and remote server versions do not match." I was trying with adobe reader as well with the same…

Hello swapnilm Currently I'm using the SDK to apply templates automatically to nodes in the system based on their naming convention. Haven't done much of the service status with SDK to another app or output, just mainly used SWQL for reports on that stuff. Interesting though!

I'm using a credential that is domain admin and granted sysadmin and public on the SQL server.

Just to close the loop we had to just do mass node discovery and data entry as this was time sensitive on our end so I did not get the chance to go through the troubleshooting efforts you suggested. But thank you very much for the suggestions and I'll try to remember them the next time I run into an error.

Thank you! I just wanted to confirm that the latest polled values would be in that table for my report. Here's what I've got so far. SELECT IP_Address ,Caption ,SysName ,DisplayName ,Value ,ServiceTag FROM Nodes JOIN APM_HardwareItem on Nodes.NodeID = APM_HardwareItem.NodeID JOIN APM_HardwareInfo on Nodes.NodeID =…

Adding the individual computer and specifying the domain credential worked. Still odd it wouldn't try it based upon domain membership.

I do have a domain admin credential specified for any machine of that domain. Patch Manager still attempts to use the default rule. I guess I could try the explicit computer credentials but I don't see why it's not accepting my domain admin credentials.

Thank you, that's great news.

Hello michal, we do select the Groups/Subernets/Subnets option and import our spreadsheet after choosing which columns go where. But the problem we face is that it's all imported under the imported folder at the bottom. What we'd like to accomplish is to target our grouping tree we've already created at a supernet/subnet…

I've been looking more at this and I'm finding something strange. In my code I can see that $CoreParameter is holding the IP address list in the $CoreParameter.BulkList.IPAddress.Address area of the object but once passed to CreateCorePluginConfiguration those IP addresses are lost. I'm inputting the IP address using Re:…

That helped immensely! I didn't realize I couldn't just output the contents to a table or was doing it wrong so it only gave me a systemdatasource message a hundred times over. I've got the first hurdle of my script working and even included some caption logic. Next is some SNMP string logic and I'll need to run this same…

Hah, I'm wrong again. Good to know!
