Have you tried using this variable? ${N=SwisEntity;M=VolumeSpaceAvailableExp} We use this in our alerts and for our needs it works great in giving us an actual amount along with the percentage as well. This way we have any entire picture of disk space for the specific device monitored.

Have you tried Using netpath? It may not be the cleanest way to do what you are attempting too, but I believe it may just work out for you. Because with netpath it won't only ping but also drag out a path between your solarwinds server and the device using the port you want. And lets say if something happens the path would…

So turns out the iphistory table is huge nearly 2 gigs. Simple select statement runs and runs and runs till eventually it gives me a ran out of memory exception. I can pull up till around the first million rows. Trying to pull anything more than a million rows errors out. Judging by data inside this table it looks like…

SAM is an amazing powerful tool. It can in many ways automate different tasks if you wanted it too. Just as a simple example, IIS, Setup a monitor for IIS, set your thresholds, and if it reaches your threshold you can set it to trigger an alert with an action to restart IIS, and if there are any secondary failures you can…

I ran into a very similar issue. As a matter a fact I still have a ticket opened with solarwinds right now that is being researched by there development team. I would suggest to open a ticket and explain to them as you did here. See if they could send it up to development for troubleshooting.

Great information indeed. I myself have been using web reporting. it's just that 90% of the time I can't get the data 120% accurate to what I wanted exactly. It's always close enough. Then I would have to take that data and format it in excel or whatever the case was at the time. This got rather annoying. So I would jump…

Also, I just realized when you say mac address of a node ... do you mean it's serial number? Only MAC addresses I'm familiar with are on the NIC's.

I would think that this information might be the asset information tables (Maybe). I say this only because if you have your npm gathering asset details on your devices MAC addresses I believe maybe part of it. Not sure exactly what table that would be. Maybe someone else can elaborate a little further here, and help you…

These errors continue but now they don't seem to be impeding on any functionality. Seems as after giving our sql a decent performance boost it's able to keep up with this error and not cause any noise on the tool. I'll call solarwinds and see if they can figure this out.

These errors are annoying and I can't seem to find a way to fix the primary key issues to keep this from happening. I also get an item with the same key already exist error. Can't figure out if this is bug related activity (Something in the code causing the error), or simply misconfiguration. Any feedback is appreciated.

Not sure if this would be of any help. But for us we use the contact and or location fields (Which are pulled from SNMP) to add information we need for devices. In other words when we configure SNMP on our devices we also make sure to use these fields to put in any extra information we need. Network discovery will not…

adatole​, Could you help with this question? This is my former coworker. He needs help with an alert idea he is trying to implement.

Can you share with us a screenshot of how your alert is setup? Show use the trigger conditions and how you have the trigger actions setup. This will help make things a bit more clear. And if you have a example of how the alert is showing up after the upgrade go ahead and post that as well.

Have you tried instead of using "Avaliable space" , try instead "Percentage used". Just a thought. Also, did you know you could access the SWIS query tool page by using this address: http://<SolarWinds server IP>/Orion/admin/swis.aspx . By clicking the little down arrow on the yellow bar in the trigger conditions should…
