  • We have an AD account that is used by our SolarWinds server and is Exchange enabled. With just a check box would be Lync enabled. This feature could be interesting...
  • Very good list, Thanks! It becomes a great list if it also shows the most recent version number for each product.
  • We recently were asked to reduce the white space taken up by a couple of the NCM pie charts (reduce height) and increase the height of the the CPU usage and Average response times on a managment overview page (for more detail as to what the actual readings were. So yes configurable heights for charts would be great.…
  • I have to change the height of charts more often on "Public" views. Locations that views are displayed and the users do not directly interact with the view's data. For example, for use on the projectors in the SOC/NOC, on a TV in managers' offices, in the open areas near each of the support teams, etc. Since scrolling and…
  • This feature would really help us in monitoring our IIS servers. Statistics for app pools is an ask from our web development team, but thanks to Windows 2008 R2 these are often down and the console is cluttered. Cleaning up the clutter using filters seems to be a lot of work and concerns me that other issues might get…
  • All of these listed SAM updates in this blog post seem to relate to the "bubble up" theme. This "bubble up" theme looks like it is going to make us click less and either maintain or improve our productivity. Our Carpal Tunnel wishes to send you a wrist felt thanks for your work.
  • This is good news. I am looking forward to this change hitting all of the various products that we use.
  • This is an interesting idea. I really like it for things like comments, but would want to make sure that when retreived as a variable, issues were not introduced for existing usages. e.g. we have a ContactEmail field, these contain strings like "name1@domain.com; name2@domain.com" and we use the variable to place those…
  • I am a geek. I enjoy Science Fiction/Fantasy “B” movie/TV shows so with that in mind… I DVR then watch: - Revolution (NBC) - Grimm (NBC) - Haven (SyFy) - Lost Girl (SyFy) - Continuum (SyFy) - Warehouse 13 (SyFy) I DVR and sometimes watch: - Arrow (The CW) - The Mentalist (CBS) - Hawaii 5-0 (CBS) - Big Bang Theory (CBS) -…
  • Right now it is kinda neat, but I am SO looking forward to the NCM integration!
  • Humm...I pasted from your reply into my SolarWind Report Writer as a new report and it worked as expected in both the Report Writer interface and the NPM Reports web page. I have the following SolarWinds Apps installed on my system: Orion Core 2012.1.1, SAM 5.2.0, NCM 7.0.2, NPM 10.3.1, IVIM 1.4.0 What versions are you…
  • Here is his tweaked code: SELECT Nodes.Site AS Site, Nodes.Caption AS ServerName, Nodes.Vendor AS Vendor, Nodes.MachineType AS OSModel, Nodes.Description AS Hardware, Nodes.IOSVersion AS OSVersion, Nodes.CPULoad AS CPUUtil, Nodes.PercentMemoryUsed AS PercentMemory, Nodes.TotalMemory AS TotalMemory, Volumes.Caption AS…
  • I had a couple of quick thoughts regarding your request for information that is hard to do today with IIS monitors. We monitor only our important IIS app pools in SAM by name using a monitor with a related command line filter but we would rather monitor all IIS app pools. To keep our monitoring up-to-date requires the…
  • Ok, so I did some digging on THWACK and cobbled this together. Does this work for you? WITH RES AS ( SELECT [HostNodes].[NodeID] AS NodeID, N'H' AS NodeType FROM dbo.VIM_VirtualMachineNodes AS VMNodes LEFT JOIN dbo.VIM_HostNodes AS HostNodes ON ([HostNodes].[HostID] = [VMNodes].[HostID]) UNION ( SELECT…
  • OK, so he said that it may be a SQL version difference (WITH is a "newer" command, but that he does not remember which version added it). We are using MS SQL 2008 R2. I forgot to finish my thoughts, he also said we could probably rewrite it to not use the WITH but that will take some time.
  • e90n54, I had a report that we use that showed full Fixed disks based on GB free. I tweaked it to show nodes with Fixed disks based on 95%+ used, and I have uploaded it to the Reports section of the Content Exchange. http://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-171032 You can add the report as a resource to a view if you would…
  • If you are using a server's NIC to create an LT2P link, a PPoE link, or some other layered connection; then yeah you might want to monitor them. But based on my understanding, I think not monitoring is probably the right choice. We add all of ours to the ignore list and do not monitor any of them.
  • It is interesting that it only shows vCenter. In my network it shows vCenter, all ESXi nodes, and their datastores. I monitor my VM nodes through vCenter using a domain account that has rights to vCenter. My storage is on Fibre Channel. I noticed in your response to aLTeReGo that you were looking in the Hardware Health…
  • Assuming that you have the custom property called Site then try this edited version: SELECT Nodes.Site AS Site, Nodes.Caption AS ServerName, Nodes.Vendor AS Vendor, Nodes.MachineType AS OS_Model, Nodes.Description AS Hardware, Nodes. IOSVersion AS OS_Version, Nodes.CPULoad AS CPU_Util, Nodes.PercentMemoryUsed AS…
  • As I understand it, the system says free accounts are suspended but the login is created and still works. https://getsatisfaction.com/newsblur/topics/new_free_accounts_are_suspended_until_when https://getsatisfaction.com/newsblur/topics/free_accountis_not_suspended_found_a_might_be_loophole Just to add a bit more to the…
  • Okay, I ran across an older posing of mine on something similar and I bookmarked it. Then yesterday I got some free time and decided to take another shot at this for you. If this does not work right I may be at a loss for what to do next. SELECT Nodes.NodeID, Nodes.StatusLED, Nodes.Caption, Nodes.CPULoad, Nodes.Vendor FROM…
  • I added the “ OR Nodes.Vendor = ‘Net-SNMP’ “ because some Linux servers show up that way, since I got nothing erroneous when I ran the report I left it there. I would have thought that the report would work whether the VM was up or down, once it is in the VIM_VirtualMachines table. (That is what I use to see if the node is…
  • I was pulled off from this issue for what was determined to be a more important system deployment. With that system deployment complete, I am able to return to the WMI nodes bouncing issue. I am hoping to get some progress next week.
  • I know this thread is almost a year old, but has this been addressed yet? We noticed that our Off Network devices (External) are are not displaying the Custom Properties that are assigned to them. I was asked to find out what is worng with the server. So I am asking via the most recent related thread that I could find.
  • Sorry, I am a bit stumped. Since I copied what you said you tried and it worked on my end, the only thing that I can come up with are that maybe with my application's versions are newer than yours they are offering different tables/views. I am not sure what to change since I do not have the same versions. It may not be…
  • We are on SAM 6.0.2 ... Already have an updgrade scheduled for Tuesday. If it is still an issue after the upgrade I will open a case. Thanks!
  • It was noted in the question that got me to make this report, that the datastores do not show up on vmware nodes that are only monitored via ICMP. All of my nodes are configured by our VMware guy to support SNMP monitoring. He gave me some basic instructions and I posted them in that question. That may be the reason that…
  • If you can give me some info about what you can and cannot see, maybe I can figure out what I am missing and then update the report.
  • Welcome Anthony.os, So to answer your question, this is how I understand it. By “default” alert actions happen once after a trigger. They will only trigger again after the existing trigger condition clears. If you want them to trigger continuously during each event, then you have to make use of Alert Escalation on the…
