You have run test-fires and they don't work either, correct? If all the other alerts are the same and they work, then there is likely something wrong with that one alert. I don't suppose you accidentally misspelled the name of the SMTP server in that one alert? If not, my suggestion is to delete the alert and the recreate…

dgsmith80 Not yet... the new servers were delayed. We've received one so far. waiting for the other one. Of course, if the one we've received is the new DB server, then we could probably migrate the NPM and NCM database to the new SQL 2016 server before we receive the new Orion server. It hasn't been racked yet though .…

Hello all, Sorry I haven't replied to questions here. I no longer work for the same company as I did when I was monitoring a NetApp. My new employer does have Orion, and other SW tools, but no NetApp. meddle01 said:I am having a hard time however, creating an advanced alert based on the values returned. Not so much the…

Hi Jon jonchill​. I know this is somewhat tangential to the topic... could you please tell me what functions of NCM that NCM had, but does no longer, which UDT has now instead? I happened to install UDT on a demo license about a week ago.

Scott, Logically None should be NOT X or NOT Y or NOT Z. Not all should be NOT X and NOT Y and NOT Z but in the implementation those are flipped. I set these up and examined the SQL in the alerts table and verified this. Andy, It is incorrect to say they are flipped. The NOT of a logical statement doesn't change the test…

@"zackm"-- I extended you some kudos for your helpful replies above. I am wondering what version of Orion you are coding SQL on. I'm on 2019.4 -- our database does not have a dbo.SNMPV3Credentials table or view. I have found some tables with some information on our SNMPv3 credentials -- stored in other tables, but the…

Cool. So, I went to filtered the High Errors and Discards Today premade applet. It looks good. I noted that I could not filter Top XX Errors and Discards Today, so just use High Errors and Discards Today. My WHERE statements limiting which devices are shown for SQL table above are: (n.MachineType LIKE '%55%' OR…

What specifically is slow in nature on the web console? On our web console, it seems that anything requiring a page refresh or a new page is slow. However, pages such as Network Summary or a Node Details are noticeably slower than say Add User. It takes a long while to bring up each page, and then there is a longer wait…

Excellent! Great use of Event Log to reduce SQL load. mesverrum​, feel free to post your SQL code (and alert config) to this message. Sounds like a good add.

One more thing, I forgot to say. Notice that the name of the Custom Poller -- I called them "Status" instead of "dfStatus", or I named the transition "GBUsed" -- notice that these same names show up at the top of the table "Tabular Universal Device Poller". So, if you don't want to have a whole lot of space wasted by long…

Hi all... We have Net App. I've done some looking into custome pollers, and have created a web page from volumes on my net app in the Orion Web console. I will share what I know, but I'm not done yet, as the manner in which the volumes are presented are helpful, but somewhat awkward. Here is a screen shot of of volume…

Thanks ding​ -- who is the new PM?

Well, I thought it was a pretty good idea. But you are right 4000 proxys would be a bear to maintain. Impractical at that level, but I am convinced it would work. here'a another idea that makes use of putting the e-mail address in the interface description field. I this idea this thread yesterday afternoon: . If you put an…

Okay. I went and tried the Custom Chart. A chart is not compatible with this data since the data is nominal, not time series. The table I posted is a snapshot, "This is which devices have how many Errors and Discards so far today." If the data were a time series (such as BPS or PPS), then a chart would be fine. So, if you…

LOL! Glad I could help!

1. The virtual firewall jumps for one reason or another. *That* it jumps is by design -- to allow for High Availability. *Why* it jumps, I'm not sure, could be many reasons. 2. Protocol priority could be adjusted by QOS/DSCP, if your firewalls support it. The thing is... I'm a Cisco Administrator, not a…

Oh, I think I see the difference. You are using a Custom Chart. I used Custom Table. As a Custom Table, it did not require me to group objects. I'll go try Custom Chart, and see what I see on my end. Perhaps a table will for you instead of a chart?

Thank you for all your help jblankjblank​. Your suggestions are very good suggestions, and I really wish one of them was just the right key. As you can see below, the 5 nodes in question all have topology monitoring turned on. So, I agree, Orion doesn't have topology for both sides of these connections. Could it be that…

jkcy, If someone provided you with the correct answer, consider marking this question answered -- gives the person who helped you some extra Thwack points. And, if someone is looking for the same info in the future, "answered" will let them know that a correct answer was found, so this is a good message thread to read.…

jhynds, Thanks you for heading up this product, and bringing us the Webinar. In the webinar, the differences between Kiwi and Log Manager were not well spelled out. I think Deltona​'s question is valid, and it would be good to provide a more in-depth comparison. Kind regards, Eric

Seashore​-- I like it! I hadn't thought of putting in a concise CASE statement in an address field. I suppose the CASE statement could even be put in a custom property, so for a common group of nodes, you could one CASE statement, and for another group, you could have different CASE.

[Old Message Alert] This message was still helpful after 10 years. So, I'm replying with additional info incase anyone else needs it. I just had a decommissioned Polling Engine which refused to delete from All Settings >> Polling Engines >> Delete Unused Polling Engine. I tried deleting directly from Engines table, but it…

There is also Import and Export links directly on the Manage Custom Properties page, with having to select the More Actions menu first.

Yes. I will post it there. It is 30 pages long in MS Word. I am proof reading it right now.

Has there been a resolution to this? I have the same concern -- lack of alert escalation (or repetitive periodic alerts) for Basic Alerts. Recently, we had a situation where alert e-mails were not received. It seems the alert e-mails were just lost, though Orion did record the event in it's log. Had the Basic Alerts had…

That is a good point jonchill​. ding​ -- back in October of last year, you said ding​ wrote: Hey all, yes we are! In upcoming weeks, you will see an update to the Engineer's Toolset Roadmap. Please stay tuned! So -- it is now 8 months and a week after you said there would be an update in upcoming week. Was the update…

Well, bummer, no luck. I guess there isn't anyway to create a real-time delta using Custom Pollers or Transforms at this time. I have submitted a feature request. If anyone can prove me wrong and show how to create a CustomPoller Deltathat can be used in an alert (graph use is unnecessary for this purpose), I'd gladly send…

I think I may have the answer you are looking for. The answer resides not in Orion, but in your e-mail server. Create proxy addresses which forward to the correct technician's e-mail. You would then use the node id and/or interface id in the e-mail address to identify the proxy. Example: Jon W at ServiceInc. is the…

So, I was able to get Solarwinds Orion to alert on Syslog content, and send out an e-mail based upon finding a specific string in the syslog. Go to the link the check it out (3rd message down in that thread).
