 Fantastic - worked like a charmer. I was waiting to upgrade from 9.0SP1 until there was a requirement for it. Now I can build more pretty reports for management!

Sometimes it's the small things. You were referencing an invalid variable. Remove the DOT from the NodeID field within the statement. ${Node.ID} to ${NodeID} Current utility input voltage is ${SQL:Select Rate From CustomPollerAssignment as Assignment, CustomPollerStatus as Status, CustomPollers where Assignment.PollerID =…

If you want to plug it directly into you SQL engine try this; Obviously replace your NodeID with the UPS node.id you want to test with, along with the correct assignmentname of whatever you named your custom poller - and it should work. You may also need to confirm what your custom poller is writing to. Some use Rate, some…

Try taking the period out of the {Node.ID} portion in each query - apparently I built the query wrong. It should read as follows; Whatever you've named your custom poller will also need to be reflected in the AssignmentName like ' ' variable as well. Current utility input voltage is ${SQL:Select Rate From…

As long as the trap service is running. I assume you're not running WindowsFW, as that will likely also cause problems if enabled. If the Solarwinds trap service is also running, then you should start to see traps come in on the monitoring window.

Forgot to include the simple query in my alert. Affected Customers ${SQL: Select InterfaceAlias From Interfaces where NodeID = ${NodeID}}

 Not quite what I'm looking for. I would like to display the IP Monitor Dashboard within an Orion resource, however IP Monitor does not support guest accounts, nor can I figure a way to pass credentials via the URL to allow it to log in and display the dashboard. :-(

 Yes, ticket logged with Solarwinds. They haven't identified it as a 'bug' at this time as apparently we're the first to report it, but we've sent them some info to debug the issue.

Drat - I guess that means me complaining about freezing my Chrome browser when right clicking on a node HTTP shortcut and selecting "Open In New Tab" won't get much attention! Not sure if it's a Chrome thing, or a Solarwinds thing, but it's keeping me tied to Firefox for the time being.

Wow - Funny enough, I've had the exact same problem for the past 2 years which had me chasing global sync issues on some of my BB devices thinking this was actual traffic issues. My threshold was just over 60Mbps on all interfaces, which also led me to wonder about counter rollover, but I never noticed the 64bit counter…

I think the issue is the nesting of SQL statements within the macro statement, specifically the nesting of ${Node.ID} which is required to substitute the alarming node.ID into the proper select statement. If you substitute the ${Node.ID} with the actual node ID of the device in question (ie. 181) or whatever NodeID your…

Hmm - my desktop is set to 32bit, and still same issue. No cloud icon (there are a few others that don't appear right either - the box for instance). Tried 16bit as well w/ no different results. Is this setting somewhere else? This has always been annoying, as the cloud icon would actually be one of the most useful icons…

Would love to simply use an Advanced Alert, but I'm not sure how to go about it. For example...we have a telco switch that has limited SNMP pollable instances. However, when major events occur, this device will send traps to alert us of issues (DS3's going down, etc). From what I can tell, the Alert engine can only make…

 The idea is I want to move away from Cricket (which is a derivitive of RRD Tool / MRTG) if I can, and consolidate onto our Orion platform. I figured I'd have to schedule a job to remote in and grab my stats, but I'm not sure if anyone has thought of a method of storage, or what I can do with the results once I obtain them…

Same problem here, although trying to filter for blank rows with no serial numbers. If I build a report on Phyiscal Entities - I get a 48 port switch returning a bunch of blank Serial lines, then the motherboard with the chassis serial, which I'm interested in. Doesn't seem to be a way to filter based on advanced criteria.…

Not looking specifically for exchange, but rather other services (ie. NTP, SMTP, Internet Access) such that I can monitor 6 external websites for connectivity, however if one of these monitors goes down for whatever reason (maintenance, etc) my overall uptime of my GROUP is not affected unless they are ALL down, in which…

Actually, Depending on what you've done, load up the Database Manager application on the local machine, and under the NetPerfMon database, check under Accounts. Click "Query", then find the user you need to unlock (if you've simply disabled the user)... Change the "account enabled" from N to Y, and you're back in business.…

That certainly works! But judging by the obtuse naming used in the URLs in my browser, I suspected it would be only a matter of a simple hotfix application that would like break every link I created. I was hoping for some internal reference that might survive a version upgrade. :-)

 That works great when I'm doing maintenance on a single device, but if I need to reload a core device, I end up triggering alerts for dependant devices. I tend to shy away from writing dependancies, as hiding devices that are down sometimes masks the severity of the problem. (ie. getting pages for one device down, vs. 60…

Notice again in my Macro's there is a period in the {Node.ID} variable...you need to removed the period (typo in my original post) to reflect ${NodeID} NOT ${NodeID}. Again, it assumes that you are using "Rate" as opposed to Raw or Counter for your custom pollers, so those would need to be updated accordingly. I've also…

Before you drive yourself crazy - I had a power alert this morning and simply received text as you indicated rather than my intended values. So..this might be related to a recent software upgrade and/or my UPS values changed. I'll take another look at my config and will post if I find resolution.

Same thing I'm experiencing here... Attempting to page out a switch that is down, but include in the page-out the affected ports (ie. customers) so the on-call person can determine severity. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, the query returns all ports in my SQL query engine, but the macro only display's the first…

Brilliant - exactly what I was looking for.

Great idea for a report collapsing all CP into a single line... thanks for the package to get me started!

BUMP - I'll second this. Trying to do the same thing, by centralizing the SNMP Traps, and getting Kiwi to spoof the source address such that dumber devices down the line have no idea kiwi is the originator. Keeps device config down to a minumum by applying the forwarding logic on kiwi rather than individual config lines on…

Do your other e-mail alerts work? Can you perform a manual trigger/test to confirm? Applied any service packs (either Orion or MS) lately? Things generally don't spontanously break... If all your alerts are broken your best bet might be to log a ticket w/ support. If it's just one, then delete the alert and recreate it to…

 You'll need to run the SNMP Trap Reciever in Solarwinds. Be aware it uses the built in SNMP Trap Receiver service. So if you're running this on Windows, you'll need to enable that service first, and set it to start automagically. Then, set your trap receiver on your cisco box to send it's traps to Solarwinds. You should…

Any possibility this is 'tweakable' such that we can pass thru authentication to your IP Monitor application? Would be sweet to have the NOC Dashboard available as a resource in Orion, but I havn't been able to get around the pesky authentication issue. :-(

I actually created a new View called "Upstream Provider" in which I added 6 (in my case) blank HTML resources. Then, preview your new view, and edit each resource and paste the following in. I then added this page to be mailed to me once weekly using the Report Scheduler, and/or I can watch my upstream refresh live by…

would also be interested in that feature - i fought for a while w/ trying to get the NOC view included in my Solarwinds main page. There is a hack/patch available which will export the NOC page to another static IIS site, then you can pick that static export up with any standard browser via a different URL. I believe the…
