This is a great document and I took the approach to test our upgrade in development. The HA worked and I was able to complete upgrade so the main poller (MP) was replaced with a new WS2016 system. My Orion setup has 1 MP (WS2012, Orion 2018.2), 4 APE (WS2016), 1 AWS web server (WS2016) and DB is on a SQL 2012 Always-On. My…

I have client initiated agent installed on Linux and IBM servers. Do they point to the server by name or IP? Do I need to go through each agent to update the name/IP so it points to the new server name/IP?

In the "Mapping Database Instances" step, my instance is detected and linked to one of my 2-node SQL cluster. Do I need to map the instance to the other node in the cluster? If so, I don't see how I can do that in the interface.

Where can I see this manifest 'Service Directory' from client machine (Windows and Unix) or if they are logged on client/server sides? I'd like to validate that during my tests. Thanks.

What is buddy drop?

Is there any other way around?

Awesome. I ended up doing it this way too. Hope SW will have these functions built-in like how SAM works. Thanks again.

Figured out: ${SQL:Select PrimaryContact From dbo.NodesCustomProperties Where NodeID = ${N=SwisEntity;M=Host.NodeID}} Thanks for all the help!

Question #1: The alert does trigger now. Thanks. Then how do I obtain the MountPoint, FreeSpace and Capacity of the offending volume that triggered the alert? Is there any variable I can tap on that came back from this query you showed me?. I want to include these info in the email alert. This is the scenario I want to…

Thanks. This works for me.

Works. Thanks. To convert Bytes to GB, I have to /1024 several time. The /(1024^3) doesn't work. I'll just go with /1024/1024/1024 for now like this: ROUND(ToString(Volumes.FreeSpace/1024/1024/1024),2)

Not only that. The SW Support Team had to re-run the Configuration Wizard on my box to fix another issue. After that I found a new entry is added. I had to modify it again before I can access the web console.

I created this custom attribute in Orion. The ESX host is added and monitored by Orion SAM, so it also has this custom attribute. When the VM alert comes in from vMan, I can use the above functions/queries to get the host information such as IP address. This works for the built-in Orion attribute, but not the custom…

Thank you!

No. Still awaiting for answer...

Will I be able to extract the offending volume name from the returned query? Say the system has C: and D: volumes, If C: and D: happen to be over the threshold 50% stated above, I'd like to be able to query the table for more info to share in email notifications. ${N=SWQL;M=SELECT Volumes.MountPoint FROM…

Which field do you use? I can only find Volume Summary Free Capacity and Space. These attributes are aggregates of all volumes. In the sample I posted above, a volume is full but the Volume Summary Free Space / % doesn't hit the warning / critical state. It's not usable to alert when volume level threshold is hit. j

This is a great. However, the warning/critical icon will never be triggered on the console. Someone watching the console will not notice there is a concern. This is my understanding on these settings. Correct me if this is not the case. Thanks!

Thanks for the information. So in the meantime, is my question #2 possible?

Thanks. I built the custom table per your suggestion. Now is there a way to show the utilization percentage in the form of a percentage bar?

The view was finally updated correctly after a long wait. I see what you mean but it's not going to be scalable in my case. I try to use groups as the way to scope objects. I divide my groups my service environments. For example, I have a group to include all Exchange servers in production, a group to include just Exchange…

I tried this but didn't work: VM ssasvdp3733 D:\ is ${N=SWQL;M=SELECT ROUND(Volumes.SpaceUtilization,2) FROM Orion.VIM.VirtualMachines AS VM JOIN Orion.VIM.VirtualMachineVolumes AS Volumes ON VM.VirtualMachineID = Volumes.VirtualMachineID WHERE Volumes.SpaceUtilization > 50 AND VM.VirtualMachineID = 481519}% full.

Thanks for the help!

So the primary record fields (ServerName, Port and SSLEnabled) will look like the 'additional' record, correct?
