Has anyone played with any of the tools from the Google collaboration called M-Lab? http://measurementlab.net/ A few of their tools can be run from command-line instead of a Java window. Command-line means automation, but it's the delivery of the results and assessing them against pre-set thresholds that are still making…

I have logged case 812543 to try and get this answered as well.

You'd be surprised how much detail you can get from ICMP alone, but if you've got them onboard to give you RO SNMP access to their gear then you are laughing. I can see one challenge ahead -- different hardware types at each site. That is relatively minor and might mean that some things work "out of the box" and some…

Just a heads up -- this has been implemented in Kiwi Syslog Server v9.5 What’s New | Kiwi Syslog Server | SolarWinds

Based on the size of your environment (if my memory serves me correct) you should reach out to support for a Buddy Drop related to HF5. SWISv3 has a memory leak that is only evident in very large environments. It is fixed, but that might help. Look, I'm a Solarwinds fanboy. Have been since the first day I used it 8+ years…

I think I found it vispetto‌ -- or at least the start of it. The stored procedure for the CPU statistics is called dbm_CPULoad_DetailToStatistics. My SQL kung-fu is weak, but I'll take a peak at the query and see if I can extrapolate it into a report of some type. I'd love to be able to hand teams a report showing what the…

It is not officially supported. It doesn't mean that it won't work, but I believe that if you call in for support then there will certainly be questions about the locality of your environment. But it is worth asking your sales person or opening a support request to confirm.

I devised this query to find the 01/02 pairs (in this specific case it is only 01/02 pairs) required. Just need to figure out how to slot it in the query above. SELECT TOP 10 HA1.Caption, HA1.Node, HA2.Node, HA2.Caption FROM (SELECT Caption, LEFT(Nodes.Caption,13) AS Node FROM Nodes WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE…

I did think about using groups but it feels like a management nightmare. I have 12000+ nodes that we monitor. Having to track which nodes are in an HA cluster for a specific application feels like opening Pandora's Box. The solution needs to be scalable to the large enterprise level. Just when you thought it was going to…

I ran into the same problem recently, when trying to install SNMP on a Windows 2003 Standard SP2 server. When we build a server, we often stage the media locally (just in case) for reference if the media (or an image) is not available on the network. On my first attempt I installed the SNMP service using the files from…

If you want help installing this RC contact Rob Hock. There was an email that went out last week inviting participants in the beta test to install this with vendor support. We are not going to install in production yet. We're waiting until the GA release but we are installing the RC in our dev environment to do some…

rickrocks​ points to a great article, but be careful not to confuse Node Status and Packet Loss as they *can* be two separate items. (See Calculate node availability for details) The TLDR; is that packet loss, as stored in the ResponseTime_Detail_YYYMMDD tables or any of the associated views, is basically a boolean value.…

I've opened case# 758229 to sort out the 'why' for the long-term growth of storage.

Preach jeremyxmentzell​. I will confess to looking for an event management tool to do some of that more complex logic. Heck, even Kiwi can do "If X events in Y time". Complex event logic is necessary to the future of our environment.

What version of Orion are you running? Just curious if you are having similar issues to us in our Orion 2015.1 (NPM 11.5.2) environment.

Alright, I guess it is time to start baiting the big guns to weigh in here. Maybe adatole​ or aLTeReGo​ know someone who can answer this question?

I talked with support today and there are only 3 options: 1) Additional polling engine unless link latency is too high 2) New Orion + modules server and dedicated DB server in the remote site 3) Poll from a polling engine that is closer to the DB server to reduce latency We opted for 3 -- polling from a remote polling…

I'm not sure about the math function in a report, but you can change the view from F to C under Settings > Manage Accounts > (Select the Account). Under the Hardware Health Package Settings you can select fahrenheit or celsius and it should change the values for you. Not sure if that translate to reports/alerts etc.…

This *might* be an issue with the function that generates the SWQL as I checked the XML trigger condition in the [AlertConfigurations] table and it looks OK.

I made a few small changes but I am still seeing an issue. Most notable is that the SWQL behind this alert is NOT capturing the appropriate values in the trigger conditions clause. Here is the updated condition blocks built primarily so that it is easy to read for admins -- but it is only a snippet: Here is a snapshot of…

I know that this a late reply, but I was searching for a similar report and thought I'd add this response. It sounds like your manager is confusing server availability with service availability. In order to accurately manage service availability you need Server and Application Manager so that you can view the critical…

Hey tdanner​ or SWIS superfan patrick.hubbard​, any thoughts here?

DB latency from any given polling engine cannot exceed 200ms. (Documentation says 250ms -- but it is a little ambiguous as to what happens when you hit 250ms so I would aim a little lower). I really like the idea from rschroeder‌ about each poller polling everything. That causes some issues with overlapping Node, Interface…

I want to see the awesomeness too but we don't use the All Active Alerts resource. OK, we do on node views and some other custom views....maybe I should email even though I am far from new blood

Vinay BY has nailed it with the documentation. A couple of additional recommendations. First read the documentation. No tl;dr here -- read it and follow it. Second, you read the documentation, right? If so, you have already backed up everything you need to. Didn't read the docs? Go back and read them. Backups are your…

Tim, Any luck getting a solution for this? That would be a fantastic increase in functionality for always on the go techs! Josh

Is TLS v1.0 disabled on the target server? The current version of the agent only uses TLS v1.0. That version is upgraded in the next release that is in Release Candidate status now. EDIT: You can check with the references in this article -…

I upped the ante a bit on a current customer build. I built two maintenance fields, one for maintenance start and the other for maintenance end. I perform three checks -- is maintenance start less than maintenance end (both fields are time/date) and I check to make sure both fields are not empty. This allows the customer…

And just because I can't leave this alone (and I'm also writing up some internal documentation on this alert) I'll post another version of the code. In this cause when I configured WinRM on the target system I used winrm set winrm/config/client '@{TrustedHosts="DNS_Name"}' where the DNS name can be an FQDN or short name,…

Drumroll please! After getting a pretty basic script to run successfully, I thought that I would mash together xander.snyder's script with the string that I had to use to get the $process string to work in my environment. Remember that I was crossing domain boundaries with this query and had already done the following…
