You want to be using custom properties. You can use these to dynamically populate groups, but, frankly, I'm not a big user of the groups feature. I'm very heavy with custom properties, though. At the very least, start there. Don't populate groups element by element, this will be a management nightmare. Use dynamic rules to…

Another one would be to alert on empty custom properties where they are key to your alerting or dash-boarding strategies.

There is an option in ADMIN>Web Console Settings that allows 2 choices: Mixed Status or Worst Case. Worst Case would show red, while Mixed Status will only show warning if a daughter components is down.

I would probably put it in this order, although the first three are all pretty important. A lot will depend on what your are trying to accomplish. 1. Scripting 2. DB/SQL 3. Networking 4. MS Server Networking is important, but you have that, so I'll skip on to the others... I'm in an applications heavy environment, so my…

This isn't exactly what you were asking for, but I thought I would contribute my SWQL. I needed the statistic totaled for each day for the past 7 days. In case it helps anyone else, this is what I came up with for my SQL UX monitor: SELECT top 5000 ComponentID, toString(Month(DateTrunc('day', ToLocal(Date)))) + '/' +…

Something like this might work: ${SQL: SELECT Convert(Date,DateAdd(mi,DATEDIFF(mi, GETUTCDATE(), GETDATE()),TimeStamp)) AS Day_Local ....(rest of query) } In the alert, I think you're going to be locked into the (Orion) server location. This _might_ work for viewing through the web console. I've noticed in a few places…

That procedure works to run the restart task (we are using it in lieu of the scripted method), however the restart task causes the host on the other end to have a complete and total freak out about 50% of the time, so its hardly the perfect solution. We _are_ using it, and our support is touching the long running issues…

I'm struggling with this a bit, too. I think I'm bumping up against a permissions error where I am. For the exe that SolarWinds provides, I am monitoring the service using WMI, and my alert exe trigger looks like this: APM\APMServiceControl.exe ${SQL:Select ComponentID FROM APM_AlertsAndReportsData E0 JOIN Nodes E1 ON…

One way that you might accomplish this is to create a report using the Report Writer, and then just imbed that report on your summary page (when adding resources to the page, it's under Reports>Report from Report Writer).

You're better off doing them for each service. You can use bash or perl, whichever makes the most sense. I tend to use perl for my linux boxes, but mostly because I have more experience with it. Some hints, though, if you wanted to do it all under one monitor, you could include the list in your script, identify how many…

On semi circuitous way around these types of inconsistencies would be to use the Component Monitor Wizard found in Admin>SAM Administration. It's a good way to validate what you are looking for through SAM-based discovery. We had an early round of custom applications where the documentation didn't match the process names…

If you force a poll or rediscovery of the node, do they become known again? If you give Orion time to poll on it's own, do the nodes every become known on their own over time, or are they staying unknown indefinitely?

I'm interested. While we're an MSP, our views are limited to groups within the enterprise. Some by group role, some by acquisition/platform. I'd like to see what SolarWinds is cooking up in this part of the product.

We're about to go down this road with Ubuntu and CentOS, ditching RHEL. My bet is that your configuration of SNMP on that server isn't open enough. You might have the MIB view restricted. I'd dump your current default config and configure it from scratch.

It really depends on what you are looking for. If you are a MAC guy (don't hate), then there is OmniGraffle, with it's map templates. I use them quite a bit for generic state, country, and continent map making. It makes for prettier visio style maps as well.

It can if you have the APM module. You would need to add a SQL UX, then write the query to select polling completion from engines...

Verify that the account you are using is configured to use the "by device type" instead of "Node Details" view. 

Just to answer my own question, the packs are for Orion 11, and are not needed for earlier versions. Only requiring the primary install of the IPAM module, and the 4.1 pack for AWS.

I've been having this same issue. My original UnDPs worked for about an hour, then stopped. I destroyed the UnDPs, and rebuilt them, and the transform wouldn't work. What I did to get them working was change the original Get Next to Get, and add a dot zero to the OID. This seems to have fixed my transform history.

You saved me a ridiculous amount of time with this. Thanks for posting!

In Report Writer, in the filters for the report, filter by ANY where you then list out the nodes by name that you want, or if you're using custom properties to group your nodes, you can filter on custom property instead of listing out each node you want in the report.

-Bump. Have there been any updates to this? I would really like the ability to make Network Atlas force a ConnectNow update for device connections. Is there a way to do this through CLI, or the SDK? Andy

Did you figure this out? I'm stuck on the same thing.

I suspect you are using the dynamic query builder in Report Writer. You might be better off doing all your math in SQL or SWQL; You'll have better control of the data.

I can't take credit for this, but you might try this post:

Are the missing nodes also in the Orion NPM DB? I seem to recall that for the NCM nodes to show up in the integrated web site, they need to be in both the NPM and NCM DB.

I'm seeing this, too. The availability charts run for about 3 hours, then konk out. This is happening on our corp server, and where I am today as well. I would suggest opening a ticket and work with support to identify the issue.

I'm running into this now in 12.2. On a few of mine, removing NodesCustomProperties.Property so all you have is your property works. For example: Old filter: Vendor != 'Windows' AND Device_Type LIKE '%Server%' AND VolumeType IN ('Fixed Disk','Network Disk') AND (NodesCustomProperties.NOC = 1 OR NodesCustomProperties.AST =…

What type of devices are these? If the vendor doesn't provide the same mibs that orion is looking for out of the box, you may want to build a poller (using the UnDP) that collects the right OID. I've come across a handful of devices that dont present the way Orion expect, but the UnDP can overcome this. You'll probably…

You'll want to go re-create the views first, then add them back into the menu bar. One method of doing that would be to go to settings>manage views, then copy your APM Summary view to use as a template for the deleted APM pages. Apply a view limitation based either on the specific applications, or by Application Name…
