We have thousands of assets tagged with commercial bar-code asset tags (code39), and as much as I am dying to make effective use of the scan by QR in the mobile app (it really would be amazing), we aren't about to re-tag everything using the QR label. This would also be a game-changer for accessing/updating Other Assets…

I was asked to build a low space indicator element against a few specific drives for a customer dashboard, but they needed the thresholds based on GB free rather than percentage - and I couldn't find anything with nice RAG indicators (like the resource steshi uses in his example) in the existing resources. Here's what I…

I often evaluate the results returned by macros like this by using the Simulate option on a Send an Email/Page action under the trigger actions section of an alert.

We use a Network Atlas map and groups for this purpose in our NOC, as professionalusername​ suggested. I also have gotten tons of mileage out of alexslv​ 's "All Components with Problems" resource post which could be adjusted for this purpose if you have a little time and SQL savvy. The Magic of SWQL: Create "All…

Yes that's right - I get the data points I'm expecting in the export, the times just show as UTC rather than my local TZ.

sfbpf42​ - If your Alert is "Application" type, and you have renamed each component of the Application Template to reflect the information you need (e.g. Folder name) this macro will show you the components (by their name) that are not "UP" ${N=SwisEntity;M=ApplicationAlert.ComponentsWithProblemsFormatted}

Going back to the Domain Controller Security template you've mentioned - it seems to me the "User Account: Account was locked out" Windows Event Log monitor component should provide just what you need here. It returns the number of locked out account events per poll, so setting the Warning or Critical thresholds, or…

Since you need the web traffic to initiate from the remote "specific" server, you're going to end up going around your elbow one way or another. You might * Schedule and execute script on Specific server, capture output if error occurs* Write a powershell script similar to example you have above to access the website,…

This looks like the choke point (11,1) - do you agreermurphy1313​? Set objExec = WshShell.Exec("C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\APM\jre6\bin\java.exe ServerThreadHealthStateMonitorIndiv " & objArgs(0) & " " & objArgs(1) & " " & objArgs(2) & " " & objArgs(3) & " " & objArgs(4)) Have you checked your path to that…

If you add a failure step to your SQL job to write to the Windows Application log on the SQL server, you can use a SAM Windows Event Log monitor to alert on the event. The macro ${N=SwisEntity;M=ComponentAlert.WindowsEventMessages} can be used in an Alert (Component Alert type) to capture the Windows Event Log Message…

How about NodesData_Category = 1

Depending on what you are monitoring you may have to approach this differently. IsServer <> 1 will exclude what SW classifies as a "server." If you are monitoring appliances with a linux-based OS via SNMP they are sometimes classified as servers, however. You can check by this flag quickly for all your systems by selecting…

If you are lucky enough to have a consistent naming convention for all your routers, you might combine with Caption. vendor = 'Cisco' and caption like '*-rtr-*'. If you have few enough models of routers perhaps SysObjectID. SysObjectID In ('1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1861','1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.669'). A Custom Property would provide for…

Continuing with mesverrum​'s answer, I believe only HP, Dell and IBM are supported for server hardware health with WMI monitoring (therefore, running Windows). If you are an all-Dell shop, you have your answer in needing the OpenManage to provide the WMI exposure of the hardware health. Even then, I'm sad to say you will…

I'm running the (Windows) SNMP service on my Dell servers here and have them trap up to SolarWinds; then I log and email (no Advanced Alerting integration for traps...grrr) on the disk health traps. An inelegant work-around, but no additional cost and fairly straight-forward to get set up. Sounds like you are probably…

Dell exposes disk health through SNMP, but hasn't traditionally done this via WMI. Here's an example of a post with work-arounds (Dell Servers - Disk Hardware Health via SNMP) for a non-agent situation (WMI monitoring.) I don't have personal experience with a SW agent on a Dell server, but I suspect it may be impacted by…

I've found no way to do that either torquenut, but I have need to keep certain Alert resource views kept clear also. I use the SDK and a powershell script on a one-minute escalation action to auto-acknowledge alerts that I want to filter away from the NOC's Active Alerts view resource (which is set to only show…

themadzymurgist​ - looks like jvb​ has given you the breadcrumbs for checking your Traps Service state and finding the event viewer. I will add a few more things since I made some assumptions about your access in my original reply. If you turn the trap event viewer filters to effectively show "all" traps received from all…

It was just that simple for me to see traps from OEM, themadzymurgist​. You will want to use 162 for your trap port number. If your SolarWinds Trap Service is started on your Orion server, and your filter is set correctly to not exclude the messages you are looking for on the Traps viewer page, you should see them. 

I believe the lowered (non-admin) privilege recommendation was specific to the account with the mailbox rights for AppInsight for Exchange. For the standard monitoring templates (CAS / HUB) you will need local admin still for the WMI services checks and management, performance counters, etc.

akhasheni​ - I bet 8 hours is your UTC offset, isn't it? I wrestle with this on exports for certain elements on Dashboard views - local time is displayed on the graph, but the export option puts things all to UTC... 

Michael - I know this isn't an answer to your question about Maintenance Mode - but ultimately it is the answer to the problem. If you haven't looked into installing the Orion SDK I'm here to tell you it's the way to go. The community there is awesome. I know you could have a solution up for this in a week using the custom…

I've not tried having the auto-restart action run against two down services in the same alert. Since you write that your Alert is triggering as you intend, I assume you only want to alert when both services are down at the same time (the AND condition you've used rather than OR of both services being stopped). The external…

crw​ - Here's the long-running thread from the NPM board on views - still getting updates - tremendous inspiration within! Show us a NOC view and get 500 thwack points!

If you have NPM as well, this sounds like an excellent use for NetPath with a probe installed on one of your DR-site resident servers.

Folks are doing handsome work to try to address the anemic pie-chart customization options. hcy01uk​ has put this forward Integrate Google Charts with Solarwinds reports/view, A Pie chart example That said, I haven't seen anything put forth here yet that doesn't involve a pretty significant amount of "external" work, so I…

max348​ - A long-running thread where folks have submitted many excellent screen-shots of their setups. Show us a NOC view and get 500 thwack points!

If you are married to the All Applications resource for this, it looks like there may have to be a compromise on appearance to get your functionality because of the grouping options being limited to Node and Application properties. I have several examples of different business teams with shared interests in the same server…

icemuchine​ - I had a similar experience when trying to use the HTTP Form login monitor against JIRA. My version of the page requires javascript (so likely I suspect yours may also) and this monitor apparently does not support that. This according to aLTeReGo in post Re: http login form returns down status - he suggests…

Sounds like this could be accomplished with a two-part (complex) Alert condition trigger. Section 1 (Primary Section) First configure your condition for the App Pool - Alert on AppInsight for IIS: Application Pool AppInsight for IIS: Application Pool > Name (or whatever) > is equal to <Name of app pool> -and- AppInsight…
