thank you!

@"mesverrum" Would you by chance know this information? I'm trying to ask around and it's like this information does not appear to be public. We are trying to iron out monitoring with our gear in NCM but have no idea what NCM uses so that we can base decisions around it. I've dug around for many days now going through…

@"aLTeReGo" @"ladato" Who is the product manager that handles NCM or where could I find some of this information? Searching through documentations have lead me to dead ends. Does Solarwinds make this information publicly available? Thanks!

I understand, But What I was requesting was simple really. It was one single tiny alert that would trigger, then on the action it would email the team of the device. And or device owners. Setting the alert, setting the triggers, no problem. Setting actions, is where the problem happened. Where solarwinds was stubborn and…

Here you go!

You bet!

Marc, I looked around and found a different page where Leon gave some instructions when I tried it, it worked out. ${node.CP} was the variable I used for testing and it worked. I'm still testing out variations and trying different things. But I seem to be at the end zone and almost at a workable solution after weeks of…

I agree! This looks like it could potentially be a resource issue. Check what service or process is consuming the cpu when it spikes it should be able to guide you which way to take.

Well we've had a similar instance happen with similar out come as the original post. When we checked the database itself we saw that there was two volumes in the database with the same identifications. In our case when we developed a custom property to differentiate the two than our alert worked. 

Richard, That sounds interesting. I might just give it a try. Thank you!

No worries! Glad to help!

Exactly! Maybe I didn't convey my message properly but that's basically what I meant in one of my previous replies. It is the only way to edit an out of the box template so to speak.

Ops haha. Didn't notice this is actually on a question and not on my feature request. But I did put a feature request for this too.

mesverrum​ correct me if I'm wrong but the table wouldn't be there unless asset inventory is actually checked on the devices being monitored correct?

Indeed. As mentioned, I'm actually happy to see that progress is happening. Sometimes when your in the thick of it all you get a one track mind and narrow vision and some times it cane be hard to see other options when your focuses so hard on trying to get things done. This is why I always make use of thwack. Throw an idea…

Marc, The help from everyone here including yourself has been very appreciated. And has helped me gain progress. But if you don't mind I needed a little more help to get me to the end goal. Paging is something that happens constantly in our SQL. From my understanding paging happens due to lack of RAM where it has to page…

@"adatole" : I wanted to join you in on this conversation to get your opinion as well? I want to go hunting for this in the logs but not sure where to look. could you help?

With Unix, that was a pain point for us too. We couldn't find an object or source we could use that would accurately tell us when the system actually rebooted. And when we manually restarted snmp on these servers we would get the false reboot alerts as well. I'm going to follow this post here myself to get some ideas. I'm…

Sounds like a good plan. I know we all have our up's and down's with our environment. I was just lucky enough to land a wild beast.

It's what I thought as well.

You don't have to tell me twice. I agree! If only I could get the others too as well. I'm considering some of the things you mentioned. Will update when I have more information. I thank you for your reply.

It's more like dl-ir-wintelgroup@company.com All DL's are setup in this similar format. Even individual emails are first name dot last name @ company dot com. And in my own testing things where setup just as your screenshots shows. It's like I mentioned the alert itself seems to work. It's the action where the failure…

checking the logs I mentioned above covers many of the items you listed and tells you what failed.Then you can check the failing point and fix it accordingly. Segregated networks, networks behind multiple firewalls etc, have the potential of my problems just due to the fact of the complexity. In our network we have several…

I've made multiple requested and provided facts to my network teams but they push back really strong saying that the requests are unjustified and without solid proof that this will indeed fix the issue permanently. So the answer is no. My network guys fight me on this saying that the optimizer are configured to let traffic…

Yes retention was configured properly. And reduced. Table size hasn't really grown from my account. And maintenance isn't failing. So by all accounts all that you mentioned has been covered and double checked. I appreciate your help.

For us, We have 7.2 and 7.3 Oracle. For 7.2 it actually works fine if you manual deploy an agent then connect the server with the agent. On 7.3 it doesn't work at all with agent. Apparently something was changed on the os that the agent does not like. When I spoke with supported they confirmed that 7.2 was tested and…

Device Model, software version, device type, etc. These are are attributes that are provided within snmp. And automatically discovered by the discovery process. By SNMP alone solarwinds can already determine if it's network or server, what vendor it is, etc (Outside of specific instances where for example if it's a device…

Thank you! By chance would you know if this service is related to vman or which module it'll be related too? Which log does it write too? Basically I'm trying to figure out why it keeps unexpectedly failing. So I could either open a ticket or find a resolution if it's something I can manage to resolve myself. Thing is I'm…

@"aLTeReGo" You Sir are the man! Much appreciated. And basically what you stated falls in line with what I had in mind. Essentially it points to design and deployment that could be hampering our performance. Feels good to know that I wasn't wrong in my assessment. We are planning to switch over to 2020.2 version. We are…

Well I spent nearly 3 hours with support and was given the answer that I did not want. We upgraded our environment about a month and a half ago to our current versions with reassurance from support saying our problems would get better. And turns out it made our problems worst. IPAM 4.6 with HF3 which turns out we have…
