Going for NPM for now. If it goes smoothly and we get everything tested as working within the allotted time we are going to move onto SAM in the same maintenance period.

Where I am the events are pretty underutilized. I typically use them to determine reasons why a device is considered down. Typically seeing request time out. Do you have any type of events you have found useful to search for using these queries?

Thanks for the tips. I should have updated this. It appears the server farm for the players or just a separate machine for the player is what should be done. Was advised by support to run the player on a separate machine than the rest of my solarwinds products. 

Decided to call today to support rather than email back and forth on the ticket. On the phone they showed me where to get hotfixes and explain a few other things that helped my understanding. Not able to tell if they've been applied in the past. Have a window tonight where it's possible to apply them. Will report back with…

Which it probably has something to do with it. What makes me think it isn't running properly is that after a reboot it will not spike to higher than 2 to 3% for a long while(multiple playthroughs). We can also see that the overall CPU usage has gone up steadily for a couple of months now. Then not to mention the fact that…

Do you know if we can have the sample size larger than one day? Trying to find more information on how this is done and not finding much else. The reason why I'd like a larger sample size than a day is in the case that one day we do a project that can wildly affect the forecast for that day, then the next day it would mean…

SELECT cp.Description ,Case When cps.[CurrentValue] = 'Normal' or cps.[CurrentValue] = 'Float' Then '<b><font color="#7CC364">' + cps.[CurrentValue] Else '<b><font color="#DC3938">' + cps.[CurrentValue] End as CurrentValue ,cps.[Status] ,cps.LastStatusChange FROM [NetPerfMon].[dbo].[CustomPollerAssignmentView] as cps inner…

Yeah that is correct in the message for solarwinds to have it as ${SQL: SELECT [Caption] FROM [NetPerfMon].[dbo].[Nodes] where nodeid=${N=SwisEntity;M=NeighborID}} That ${SQL: *The Actual Query*} is how it knows you are wanting to do an sql query. For your table I am going to guess that the NetPerfMon is the issue. An easy…

That makes sense. If that is the case then I think this should do the trick for you.(Your table names might be different at the from part but I think this should get you what you are looking for.) ${SQL: SELECT [Caption] FROM [NetPerfMon].[dbo].[Nodes] where nodeid=${N=SwisEntity;M=NeighborID}} Go the alert message click…

Thank you for this post almost made my own for something similar. Looking for a way to have in the default report NCM has for nightly backups to have the last successful so I can have a better idea of new issues rather than known ones. Not sure it's possible yet and think that would take tinkering with things I shouldn't…

I've been attempting to test the two trigger conditions I think that would work for this. Which are as follows: One: Two: but after making those trigger conditions I had questions whether they would work and set up groups in order to test this. My fear being that it would just take 4 nodes being down and not matter which…

I set this as a view with a tab for ones acknowledged and ones unacknowledged. Thanks mesverrum​ !

Yeah the issue is I have well over a 100 separate oids to add because they are the alarm state of different trunks. I found that I can export a poller and replace the values in the resultant xml file and import the information.

Not to revive an old thread this late on a Friday but I was able to get this to work for an alert on an Application Alert and not a node. By putting the following query into the Recipients To field: email_to being the name of the custom property and then using the ApplicationID to find it in the where clause. This may be…

I don't even remember the question but I'm fairly sure all of the above and none of the above were not the answer. It could have been any combination of the choices above the last 2 choices but it could not have been the last 2 choices. Not sure if I said to much but that was my thinking after giving it some thought and…

Yeah I thought about it after the fact. I think the question was actually okay thinking on it.

The seventh questions answer order made it an impossible answer.

I believe the setting you are looking for is Connection Profile. You can see this under NCM Settings -> Connection Profiles.(Mine is in the middle right side of the screen below Security above Advanced on version NCM7.5.1) You can also go into each node and see which Connection Profile it is using. Hope this helps.

I'm curious what your Trigger condition looks like. I think if you follow these three steps you should be able to do this: Step 1 Browse All Objects if Node isn't there: Step 2 Under Orion Object Select Node: Step 3 Select Vendors on the left column towards the bottom: You should be able to get a trigger condition…

This is a great place to start. What helped me most when first starting out was attending the trainings offered by solarwinds support. Which can be found in the customer portal under Education and Training. Those training's supplemented withSolarWinds Lab Archive​ has made it a lot easier to get comfortable in the…

I think you could get away with removing the Component Status is equal to Down. If not you could try making the component monitor trigger condition must be true longer than that of the server down alert so that hopefully it doesn't trigger at all because the server down will come in first. My guess is the trigger…

One way would be to use wireshark from your poller and filter for one of the nodes you are looking for. I have done that in the past for a quick way to find that information when I couldn't find it elsewhere. EDIT: was able to find this though which might be a good start for you to look a bit into what is likely being…

I haven't had to do this myself yet but i think this is something I would be interested in having as well. The only way I could think to do it would be to create another table with the values you want to report on. I'm not comfortable with my ability to do this efficiently so take that into consideration and this is not…

Not sure if you already have a solution in place but I'm not sure of a way to automate that report in Solarwinds without use of a custom SWQL or SQL query. I can say this thread helped expedite my daily config process: Alerts on the age of the most recent NCM backup? With those reports I am able to see the oldest config…

I'm not sure there would be an easy way to set this up. If one device fails overnight is that whole night considered a fail?

I haven't done exactly what you are looking for. I have had to request MIBs from vendors before to find out what I could monitor. Have you asked the vendor for any MIBs they may have?

I'm not sure this is possible without a bunch of rules because the wildcards I think it would match any of them and add to the counter triggering everytime. It might be easier for you to create one rule that works how you want it to, then export that rule, change the fields how you need, then import the rule with the other…

I'm not sure of details to be able to tell you for sure but if this is an alert set up through the website you need to look at "All Settings" then go to "Configure Default Send Email Action". You should see Name of Sender and Reply address which I think would be where this is. If these are trap or syslog alerts then it may…

This might not be correct but it is my best guess for an answer. If you go the interfaces page and go to "Edit Interface" then scroll down to the bottom you should see. Have you checked if any of those are true while the interface is in warning status?
