Thanks for the information! This does look promising, hopefully the SMS acknowledgement will be in the first release. We currently carry pagers but wish to drop them for our smartphones (iPhone/Android) and just get the pages that way. Responding to the SMS and having that acknowledge the page in Orion (preventing…

Fantastic! I will be setting it up and trying it out this week.

Sorry deverts, meant to reply weeks ago. As blsanner mentioned, these gauges are built-in. Just add the desired gauge as he indicated and then edit the resource, and pick the appropriate UnDP that you created to associate to the gauge. If you need to reverse the gauge, for example, in the case of battery level you want 10%…

Thanks for the clarification on the test firing. Initially, the UnDP was returning the incorrect value through normal polls, but of course I used the test fire to troubleshoot the issue, which I now know does not work in this situation. After confirming the pollers were looking at the correct nodes and values, it seems to…

This is an upgraded system, but the volume alerts were never enabled so I have no historical point of reference. I tried alerting using a 5% threshold and that still did not work (but as I mentioned before, the test works just fine). I will call support as this is a bit frustrating and I see no obvious reason why it…

Found it. Didn't see the "Advanced Features" sub-menu where you can select "Reverse Thresholds".

Found the variable, ${WindowsEventMessages}, will see if this works

I found the article in question, find it at: The event details are exactly what I need forwarded to the Help Desk (much cleaner than the trap details). Preferably via an email alert, but I could entertain other ideas as well. This article seems to indicate they could not get the event details to be included with the alert.…

Initially, I was going to use the event log monitor when we had 2003 domain controllers, but there was an article floating around on Thwack that mentioned using evntwin and traps was a "more reliable" way of dealing with it. If I recall, the event log monitor had some timing issues or something related to the sample…

Richard, I checked the query and you are correct it was at the default of "GetNext". I did change it to see if it had any effect, but the issue still remains. The strange thing is that the values are displayed properly on the device pages. I added a "gauge" resource to each device view and assigned the corresponding UnDP.…

How do you get the upsAdvBatteryCapacity gauge to flip the warning and critical thresholds to the bottom of the scale?? The packaged UDP gauges show warning and then critical close to 100% but for a battery, I want critical at 10% (or thereabouts) and warning at 20% while 100% is normal. The gauge in shown in looks the way…

Thanks. I have stripped it down and even deleted and re-created from scratch, but to no avail. It is like Orion simply is not "watching" for this alert despite being enabled.The volume resource on the node details screen changes colors appropriately when the "Orion thresholds" are exceeded. I wonder if something in the…

Much appreciated! This will work just fine. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Just replying to "bump" this on the list. Being able to acknowledge alerts via e-mail or SMS is HUGE for us. And I don't mean by accessing a URL from the e-mail, but by replying to the SMS/e-mail with either a code or a keyword. We have a 3G modem that send/accepts SMS messages and a gateway (Diafaan) that sends/accepts…

Was able to configure the alert using "Type of property to monitor" set to "Custom Node Table Poller" on the conditions tab. So if the raidStatus table has any other value than "Active" it will alert. So by RTFM and thwack, I am ok but it has brought up a "bigger picture" question for me, so feel free to chime in. The…

Making progress.....from the UnDP application, I was able to display the RAID status as a table and that table actually shows the translated values, i.e. "reconstructionInProgress" rather than the oh-so-useful "2". If I can alert on this, I should be ok.

Well, I have found one way of doing it. The gargantuan OID appears again in the trap details. I entered a regex on the trap details tab that matches on the OID and cleared the "conditions" tab. This seems to be working. Not pretty mind you, as the email is just the trap details, but gives the Help Desk all they need. A…

I now know where the odd values are coming from....29 is the battery temperature on one and 18 is the load on the other unit. So my trigger conditions are: Poller Name is equal to upsAdvBatteryCapacity AND Status is less than or equal to 40 But the alert is grabbing random UnDP values, not just upsAdvBatteryCapacity as…
