I believe there will be some of this parsing functionality built into the v10 release in the coming weeks, as they put a bunch of work into integrating the trap manager with the NPM suite.

Agreed with this request. I spent months chasing a 'global sync' issue suspecting massive tail drops causing TCP backoff on a bunch of my upstream interfaces due to graphing using 32bit counters. This resulted in a sawtooth pattern to appear on my graphs for all my high BW upstream interfaces. At any utilization above…

ljenkins 10-4 here as well. I had the cheque book out when I saw the announcement and put it back in my pocket when I saw the pricing structure. Sorry guys. This is a cool tool, but 11k to replace something I can manage with a spreadsheet isn't going to happen. Removing swaths of valid addresses that are unused to me…

Not sure if you've figured this out yet but, but have you tried nesting(grouping) your statements? ie) Trigger alert when ALL of the following apply; Trigger alert when ALL of the following apply; Rate eq 0 ; Caption contains upstream; Node Name contains ubr1 Trigger alert when ALL of the following apply; Poller Name is…

Same/similar issue here - I blasted the instance of my dB then got one similar to above. Install on OrionNPMv9 using SQL2005 cluster, w/ a previous NCMv4 eval...removed the eval, installed v5, then received this error. Opening a ticket w/ support - will post any resolution if I get one. 2009-01-02 10:27:38,751 [6] ERROR…

I'll jump in here. Some sort of parsing would be awsome - match the trap content, and spit out an alert with something other than the entire 'message'. Say, a sanitized version of the entire trap message.

Got it - Line Breaks. Make sure in your alerting you remove any potential line breaks in the middle of the query or it breaks. All my queries are now working again. Acherman, let me know if that works for ya. Cheers JB for letting us know it's still working on SP5

Nope, you can poll those from anywhere. Either the default GW is set incorrectly on the Cat but then you couldn't ping/telnet to it from your desk anyway, you've got the snmp string incorrect, more likely there is an ACL on the SNMP access. You can see this by typing "show ip permit" and it will spit out any ACL's on the…

yeah! much better than disabling the alerting service, as it also disabled my website alerts which I normally use to monitor the progress of a change. Great suggestion on the syslog alerting as well which is normally bypassed. 

Looks pretty similar to previous queries - which version of Orion are you running? I've tried on 9.1SP3 and SP5. My queries were working, nothing changed in my alerts, and now I get text. Not sure when they broke though, so it must have been SP3 or earlier. I don't get many UPS alarms...

Oh, I didn't realize XXX was actually the return value! Based on the error you posted and the fact it's referencing the 'MACRO' error, there appears to be a concatenation mark just before the AND reference in the error which i would assume has resulted from improperly parsed macro code. Looks like maybe someone missed a…

Not necessarily, I'd be OK with simply embeding the logged in status page of IP Monitor (NOC View) within a custom resource on the Orion Summary Page. ie. http://www.ipmonitor.com/network_monitoring/software/live_reporting.aspx The custom HTML provided in the latest Solar*Ink would work great...however the IP Monitor tool…

worked like a charmer - now i can auto load availability reports per device without needing to manually generate them. Thanks for both tips!!

Check out this thread from a while ago, as I think it might pertain to what you're looking to do. I assume you simply want to fire an alert when the available members is less that 3, but include in the page out the current status of each member, so you know which one isn't responding. The example attached is a UPS, but the…

Thanks Chris. That's a great start. I'm not a programmer, but I think Option 2 might be within my reach. Cheers!

What type of alert are you firing on? Basic, Advanced, Syslog, Trap?

Hmm... I just checked my server and I have the following; BOTH need to be running. Not sure why you wouldn't have the trap service installed, and I can't recall if it's installed by default during a standard install. You can doublecheck the services also on the Start Menu / Solarwinds Orion / Advanced Features / Orion…

I used to use Chrome exclusively in Orion, and the only issue I ran into was when updating/modifying Nodes. I found when issuing a "List Resources" a device would return a list of interfaces, however for some reason Chrome wouldn't register any changes, and would revert back to the same interface list. Not sure if this has…

Found the issue... Go to "Manage Account" , select your userID, and look for "<userid> Performance Monitor Settings" near the bottom. Expand the plus sign, and you'll see your view settings for that user. Change each from Node Details to By Device Type. I'm not sure what happened during the upgrade, but our default…

We use the Hot Standby install, and direct our traps/syslog to both the primary and secondary. The issue with directing those to two servers is the trap/syslog server are both live on the primary and secondary servers at all times (ie. they don't back each other up) so you get duplicate entries in the db for all your…

Been running 9.5SP4 stable here for quite some time. SP3 was subject to an IIS leak causing frequent IIS restarts which appears to have been resolved in SP4 as well as the time shift in syslogs reported under each device. Since the upgrade, it's been running smoothly. My only complaint now with the move to web management,…

 Yep. The app in question is a sourceforge build called L2TPNS used for LNS termination. Works great for our application, but obviously there isn't likely to be a MIB for it which means we need to write a script to go into the app and pull our stats out manually. Would be ideal if the "custom poller" had an option to be a…

 Thanks Josh. I was aware of the built in alerting engine within the trap viewer itself, which I'm currently using to identify inbound traps, and generate ALERT and CLEAR e-mails..however since it doesn't exactly tie in with NPM, I was hoping to use the website as a dashboard to view the active trap alerts. ie. When I get…

Just ran into this post and implemented it immediately. Great information guys. I had no idea this was possible within Map Maker. 

Good to know - thanks for the feedback!

Excellent - works great. Thanks for the tip!

I'm not really sure here, but have you also tried prepending the Table name to the ContactGroup inside the brackets like you did in the join statement? ie. ${Nodes.ContactGroup} It's possible the alert isn't getting the table reference passed through so you'll need to be explicit about it. Generally, I've found you can…

Whoops... should have been a little more specific? :-D Specifically the IP Monitor NOC view.... I'm currently playing with a document posted in the IP Monitor support site (https://support.ipmonitor.com/devdocs/6ff0996bbeb149fa9a1bb7e0373f6e85.aspx) around CentralStatus using a seperate .aspx page to do SOAP calls, thereby…

Thanks for the upload. Just getting around to looking at this again although DTS scripts is a little out of my league and our dB is on a seperate cluster than our web interface but we'll see how we do! I understand the flow, so I'll work w/ my sql guy to see if we can get this working. This would be a fantastic thing to…

I knew there was something simple I was missing... These are close, but not quite what I was hoping for. These generate results from a report within the Node Details page of each device. What I was hoping for was a "Custom List of Reports" where for each Node, I give a list of availability reports (weekly, monthly, yearly,…
