That some solid advice right there. I'll try that out too. It's weird because it works when I execute the script on the polling engine against the remote server, but it fails testing of the component while editing the template targeting the same node. Very confused.

I'll try -Trusted and see if it works tonight. And, Groupwise? This client does

I think I need to start a chapter of GAA -- GUI Addicts Anonymous.

I both agree and disagree at the same time. I disagree that you cannot virtualize a high-performance SQL server. It can most certainly be done. (This is from back in the VMware 5.0 days and they were touting IOPS > 1 million, 32 vCPUs and 1TB of memory) I agree that you should not virtualize high-performance SQL servers.…

Event forwarding is definitely the way to go when you have distinct domains such as are suggested by the PERA model. (Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture - Wikipedia ) I'm not intimately familiar with the specifics of this model but I do remember having to support a manufacturing environment, for which PERA is aptly…

The very nature of a railed CPU makes getting details about the processes running on the CPU very difficult. Have 4 CPUs and a CPU queue length of 100? Scheduling one more thing against that queue isn't going to do a bit of good in figuring out what was scheduled 1 minute ago when things went haywire. Certainly executing…

I ran into a bit of a problem today when trying to build a dev/test dependency -- there is no option to do interface level dependencies. All dependencies, at least in 10.4, are for node-level only. Am I missing something? EDIT: I found what I was missing. When you build a dependency the inline group builder does not allow…

Just to confirm, the alias tab will be blank when first launching the cliconfig.exe, right? I see Named Pipes and TCP/IP in the disable list on the General tab. If this works for us it will be the Best. Post. Ever. Even better than Leon Adato being made famous (not just infamous) on Yahoo! Finance today.

Which application template are you trying to apply to the server? If you are using the same credential set for all of your Windows servers then make sure that you either assign them in the template or, when assigning the template to the node, specify the appropriate credential.

I can. As far as I know (but I'll confirm) this has been in place the entire time we've been testing. Does SAM default to NTLMv1 for AD authentication?

I am trying one more thing -- an HTTPS connection across an AWS Application ELB. I found a lone post about possibly using HTTPS vs HTTP for WinRM. But I'm not overly optimistic.

Now to weigh the benefit of re-working all of our UnDPs and associated alerts with deploying Linux agents. Man, progress is hard work

I thought about that but someone (I won't mention any names Leon) used transforms like they were going out of style. I don't think Manage Pollers was up to the task -- but I'll double-check.

Perfect -- that was the key I was missing! I will give it a whirl today and post back to let you know if I succeed. (BTW: It is the device details portion I was missing -- managed to figure out the TFTP command myself. Is that in the documentation somewhere? If so, I must have missed it.)

Thanks, I did wait overnight when I first started. I'm hoping it is an MBR vs GPT thing and not something else but I'll let you know for sure either way. Tried all of Lubo's suggestions to no avail. Waiting for confirmation from the client.

In the end it was a firewall issue, if I remember correctly. The site was a remote site and there were at least 2 sets of firewall rules that had to be configured. One of them was misconfigured ... but this is going back 3+ months and I'm lucky to remember what I had for breakfast 20 minutes ago Check all the firewalls…

It will probably be tomorrow morning before I can get to this, but I will make the updates and post here.

Noy -- sorry, pre-caffeine response earlier To clarify, you can query the CMDB in ServiceNow but there is no successful implementation (that you know of) that allows the CMDB (and the associated, for example, move to production process in ServiceNow) to trigger a node add in Solarwinds? That is really the magic bullet we…

Yeah, still feels misleading to me. Maybe LubomirKrausko‌ can have it clarified in the release notes for us. For people like me

The documentation isn't clear that PowerShell v2 is a minimum requirement -- it reads like only v2 is supported. http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/en/flarehelp/sam/default.htm#SAMAdminGuide-RequirementsforSolarWindsSAM.htm?Highlight=system requirements

It looks like your component in the Windows_OS template is named differently. Your query shows 'System: Process Queue Length'. Have you changed the alert logic to use the correct component name? If you paste a screenshot of your alert logic here we can verify.

Try this. Hop in your primary polling engine and open the database manager. You should be able to run that query (don't forget to copy the SELECT Nodes.Caption, Nodes.NodeID FROM Nodes too!) If it doesn't work then there is a copy/paste error somewhere.

Are there variables missing and/or incomplete in the above message? It should read something like 'CPU on Node ${caption} is at ${poller.value}...' (or something like that -- I don't remember the exact variables off the top of my head) Could you re-post the complete message, including variables used? Thanks.

It's still Canada out there!

Yeah, please do. Just grab the diagnostics from your primary poller and, if you have additional polling engine, from the poller that the offending nodes are assigned to even before you get a support agent. They will ask for them anyway so you might as well have them on hand anyway. If you grab them quickly you just need…

Awesome! I didn't even think about doing it that way for interfaces. I already handle the bulk edits for the nodes that way, hence my feature request to allow the ability to edit the node status, statistics and topology intervals separately as if they were a custom attribute instead of editing the entire block together. (I…

@shawnrhode I took a look in the DB and, yes, the data is there. No, it's not pretty. AssettInventory_Firmware contains the version and release date, but there are often multiple entries for the same nodeID depending on the manufacturer and hardware in the server. For example, one of our servers has 6 entries in this table…

So VMware host patch version should be relatively straight forward. You can use a custom property to set your baseline (that way you only have to change your baseline value in one spot) and build a simple node alert checking against description. Description should come back as something like "VMware ESX 5.0.0 build-XXXXX'…

This is probably somewhere else in the forum, but when is Orion 9 slated for release? Josh

Direct database edits are a dark secret of any application (including the Solarwinds family of products!).
