sirpaw, I think the alert trigger criteria you posted will only alert when operating conditions are normal. I think imcguinness​ want to get alerts in two conditions: 1, when the Process is Not Running on both nodes; 2, when the Process is Running on both nodes. There is an option to do complex alerts at the bottom of the…

Oh Boy! I am excited now! I DID IT! I created a custom SQL Alert which reads the Syslog in Orion, and then sends out an e-mail if in the last 10 minutes, a syslog was received with the string "service recommended" in it. This happens when a Cisco device determines that a chassis or power supply fan is starting to go bad.…

Hi All -- I don't know if you noticed or not, but in December 2018, there was an update to Solarwinds Toolset. It is now compatible with Server 2016. Previously, we had upgraded our Solarwinds Servers from 2008 to 2016 in order to upgrade to Orion version 12. Once we did that, I could not get SW-ET to reinstall. As of the…

In upcoming weeks, you will see an update to the WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON FOR TOOLSET (UPDATED ON OCTOBER 20, 2016). Please stay tuned! Perhaps the new features may become a monthly mission for an Upcoming month? [ideas brewing] Hmmm... maybe an "advent calendar" where each day in December (well, 15 days -- 5 days per week…

Sir Paw, Thank you for pointing that out. It worked. I would have not thought to put an underscore there. I will remember to try additional underscores in future fields when they don't work. This is from the OrionNCMAdministratorGuide.pdf I downloaded yesterday: No underscore there. I wonder how many more are in this…

I had opened a ticket with Solarwinds Technical Support. After much sharing of information, it was determined that I was running into a known bug, which the technician said developers were working on a fix. They asked my permission to close the ticket, which I agreed. Here is the comment from the ticket closure notice:…

Point number 4: Yes, the real data is available via SNMP Walk, and when multiplied out and divided, it comes to the correct number of available and total GB volume space. I'll run the Wizard and report back. Changes on the server -- this is hard for me to say. I am part of the networking group; the server group also now…

rschroeder​ -- interesting strategy. I have often felt that keeping several spares on hand is faster support, and less costly than paying for SmartNet. But then comes the cost of updating IOS software. If one does not update their IOS, they leave their network open to potential vulnerabilities. Cisco does release fixes on…

I suggest the following add for clarity: On Step 2, Set Limitations, select "Single Group", then select the group you created.

d09h​ and rschroeder​ -- Thank you for posting the views topic, and for summarizing the how-to. This is great! Awesome. How do I send d09h some Thwack points??? I haven't tried the Group/New View method yet, but I will... I get the feeling I'm learning something valuable here! I have one more thing to add: I noticed in…

I added the above query, with the changed LIKE statements, and I added a WHERE statement AND (i.InDiscardsToday+i.InErrorsToday+i.OutDiscardsToday+ i.OutErrorsToday)>9 because I didn't want a few 1 or 2 errors/discards making the list. I added this to our summary page by adding a Custom Table, and then pasting the SQL…

Okay, so there are some problems with the above SQL script. As I said it is a work in progress. But, yes, the STDEV function does work. I'm learning a bit about setting time ranges, and intervals with SQL, and about which statistics are available in Orion's databases. Multicast traffic is what is important to me, but I…

Full Circle? Late last year, jhynds​ posted a survey asking what Logging software is in use out there. There were many comments, among them was this one from sja, which I find amusing... "Not serious .. Orion is not log management tool never was never will be.. Solarwinds should be clear on that" I take it that sja is…

smttysmth02gt​, Pulling serial numbers -- you mean from the devices, right -- not where to find them in the DB? That sounds like it should be a separate thread since polling for serial numbers is not a function of SQL. [Channeling Cliff Claven] Hey, uhhh, Smtty, how many devices are we talkin' about he-ah? It's a little…

I'm glad you found the query was helpful. I was in a similar situation, thinking that everything was in NCM and being backed up. I have almost worked through the list of all "No" entries.** ** There always seems to be a device or two which seem to defy RADIUS authentication -- even recreating RADIUS clients and RADIUS…

@david smith -- Our monthly backup jobs save every config whether or not it has been changed. The daily backup jobs only save ones that have been changed. So, when I look at dates, I just have to look to see if any of the dates of archived configs are older than the first of the current month. Also, the daily jobs are done…

wluther wrote: I am actually in the middle of building a few views and reports for this exact purpose. (Though, I am doing most via SWQL) Yeah, SWQL -- I hear that is a good QL. I should really learn that. I told serena​ that I would start to learn it this year. Post some more of you SWQL widgets, and I can learn from you.…

Thanks for your help.

Well, yes, sort of like that, but not IPAM and UDT, rather NTA and UDT. Similar, yes.

d09h Yes, recipient field as a custom property is on the table. I read about that in other threads, and I like it. We're not there yet. Still, changing data field with SQL queries would be a good tool to know. I think it from your answer, that in the Bracket Battle 2018, you voted for the Dragon. Right?

Cahunt, Yes, I noted that in other posts on the same error message, they all seemed to be related to a specific object/entity. In my case, I had no object selected, and was still getting the error -- which told me that the other suggestions about deleted objects, etc., wouldn't apply. None the less, I ran DB maintenance,…

Reasonable idea. Thanks. I will check it out. Not sure it is related though.

Thanks for your reply. We are running 2017.1.3SP3 (NPM 12.1). I am fairly new to this company, I can not say when it has worked. I ran configuration wizard just last week, to make a repair to Network Atlas.

It dawns on me that there is another thing going on with [^Spectrum|^Spect ONE].* Since the combined regular expression will look for a character that will satisfy either expression, then it is essentially the same as [^Spect]. If the character being evaluated is an x then the letter satisfies both [^Spectrum] and [^Spect…

Woah! That is a monster list. Thanks for making the list importable, and save us from typing all those

Thanks again. This one is even better than the one for Webex

Excellent! Saved me the time of looking all that up -- I was just talking about setting something like this up with a coworker the other day. Thanks for post. Keep up the good work and useful info.

I would like more clever t-shirts, but not just more -- this type of more: * More 2X and 3X inventory, AND * more length -- longer t shirts, perhaps only 5-6" longer would be great.

Sometimes we use Netpath to show that a slowness is likely server or application based, not the network path between a user and a server. We also use it to keep track of connections to Microsoft (O365, Skype, Teams), and a few other SAAS. Note: We were able to find the cause of the red-marked area, and correct the issue…

No replies -- I wonder if this got "lost" during the thwack transition. So, posting this message, to promote to the top. If anyone has any input, please let me know.
