Okay this got quite complex. We have a need for this here, so I could spend the time and build/test it. This audits the component template settings, and not the app template settings. Similiar work would be done to extend it though - ie another similiar trigger. There are a number of unusual things as to how Solarwinds…

I should point out that I am only now setting up AWS monitoring, so don't assume my comment hold any weight with regards to that.

For 2018.4 update: Post update, nothing worked. Had to run the reconfiguration tool - after which all was fine.

And the final missing piece... NS records are pulled using DNS and DNS zone transfers. Obvious in hind-site.

Keep in mind this is using a Windows agent - I am assuming the same thing can be done for *nix agents but not had to try it. My Remove Scom 'monitor' script was as follows, using Powershell, set to run on remote host. The script was set to return appropriate return codes so as to avoid 'unknown' results. $app =…

By IPAM server I take it you mean your main Solarwinds server. Yes you can. We have the majority of our networks (highly segmented, here) setup so that ICMP pings and SNMP scans can be made by the Solarwinds server to most networks. There is a third option to consider - which is a bit 'off the reserveration' but can work…

When did this come to past? Previously when I asked about those I was told they didn't exist.

What I was referring to was a Custom Object Resource.

Simplest would be an alert on that property being set. After a set amount of time (if not reset by the person who was doing the work) the alert will fire and reset the custom node property back to 'alerting' mode again.

Yes and that made no difference.

The permissions are not additive (I do think this is a shame). The order of the groups within Solarwinds is important. To work out the 'home' group of the user, Solarwinds will work its way down from the top though the available groups in Solarwinds. The first group it finds, that the user is a member of, will be its group…

Yes I would (and have) used the built in service monitor. Set the service monitor to show "off" instead of down. You probably want an alert when two of none of this service are running. I put in a custom query on a summary dashboard for the system that showed that the service was running - and on what server - or critical…

This is the plan, here. I extended the auditing so that application monitor changes are audited (because arbitrary scripts...). Not there yet.

I add a dashboard to the Group viewer - IF there is a view with the same name as the group - among other things - by a HTML Resrouce with this code in it: <a id="detailed_view" target="_blank">Open Dashboard View in New Window</a> <br /> <div style="width:2500px;height:1500px"> <iframe id="detailed_iframe" src="…

The undetailed answer is you need OUTER joins in your SQL or SWQL. Left outer join will include the table from the joined table - but if no data the result set is does not get smaller Full outer join will give you all: - all data only exists in table one - all data that only exists in table two -all data that exists in…

I agree. Just tweak the thresholds for the node running the SQL Server instance.

Similar suggestion: un-licence IPAM on your current machine, decommission machine. Install new IPAM-only on a new machine, on the same database. Licence.

These are a couple of answers: Is there a way to audit component creation in a template? Anyone using AppInsight for SQL with SQL Server 2017?

If you need info from after the alert is triggered, Why not run such a script as the second escalation for the alert - so the info would be there from the triggering (a minute?) earlier of the alert.

Great you got a solution together. I am curious as to what the SQL is though. Something indirect that tells you the SSIS processes are running?

The above produces a lot of noise on an 'update' because solarwinds does a delete and then an insert instead. So for a template you get all values deleted, then all values inserted and that creates a lot of pointless audit. I have a slightly complicated way of cutting that down to just a row for each updated value. Hope to…

You could also so a SQL Experience monitor - pointed to the SCOM SQL Server, and pull the data directly out of SCOM that way. Should not add any effective load to the SCOM system.

Beware that availability groups do mean a transaction-logged database (instead of simple mode). This is discouraged for performance reasons. SQL Clustering is replicating the data at the block level (ie disk level) which is why it needs no transaction logs to function.

It's a handy feature, but beware of the case sensitivity. There is a feature request for a SWQL UPPER or LOWER function to supply this kicking around.

I have that - and a lot of fake collisions between a pair of dhcp servers. Logs show the 'scan' for dhcp is not fonishing. In my case then poller is overloaded.

So I have worked out that IPAM is scanning each zone - it is just that when it scans it finds no NS records. I am guessing permissions for the account is missing? Still stuck on this one.

Found it. Try this: Fix Solarwinds if it has been Offline for a Day or so

I can only add the observation that %20 means space (" ") for a URL.

If you return no number - eg script crash - the component will show grey unknown. As for scripts that return good/bad, true/false, decide what value is which - eg 0=bad 1=good then set the critical or warn status based on that value. This is done after testing the script, a few line down the screen you will now see all the…

An easy method that will stay valid when the numbers get summarised, is create a group and set it to 'show best status'
