Unfortunately neither Orion database nor VMan swis service provider can be used to get VMan custom labels.

Hello, there should be already an alert defined for what you are trying to monitor. Can you pls check alert "Datastore Overallocation" ? It checks whether the provisioned space allocation is higher then XY %. In other words (ProvisionedSpace / Capacity ) * 100 > XY %.

I think the certain guest drives can be filtered out from the alert. When you edit the Guest Storage Space Utilization alert, go to Criteria tab, 'Base Alert On' change to Attribute. There you may specify a xpath query - something like this: count( /virtualMachine/diskVolume[./mountPoint/text() !='D:\' and…

I take it back, that doesn't sound like a security sandbox violation in flash player. I would recommend you to create a ticket with solarwinds support

Can you see the Resource Utilization resource on Virtualization summary subview of that VM Node details view? There should be some counter above the threshold which causes that your VM has "bad" status in Orion.

Feel free to submit feature request at Submit a Ticket | SolarWinds Customer Portal

VMAN Leodegrance will be the first release which offers the integration with Orion product. This will bring the possibility to view VMAN data in an Orion way, so users wil be able to easily filter the resources (resources are equivalent to VMANs widgets) according to the selected config item (datacenter in your case). The…

Hello, Unfortunately there is no way how to accomplish this at the moment. We will discuss if this feature could be added in some of the future versions or not. Thank you for understanding

If you have Virtualization Manager integrated with Orion, you can benefit from auditing feature there. It tracks changes like changing memory/cpu/power state/host/datastore of vm as well as snapshot management. The action has to be initiated from Orion console.

And about false VM rebooted alerts: This is known issue: I would recommend you to customize the alert to filter out VMs which are powered off in case you don't want to be distracted with vms which are not running. The alerts can be also generated due to recent vMotion so in case of having troubles with vmware vms, you can…

Unfortunately there is no monitoring of VMware tags or replications on Orion side at the moment.

We are aware of the bug regarding labels, though can't guarantee if and when the fix will be available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Simplified version (it doesn't list "first" related datastore as the canned widget) of query you can use in custom SWQL widget SELECT TOP 20 vm.VirtualMachineID, vm.DetailsUrl, vm.Name, vm.SnapshotStorageSize, vm.PlatformID, vm.Status, vm.IPAddress, vm.Host.Hostname FROM Orion.VIM.VirtualMachines vm WHERE vm.Name NOT LIKE…

Probable explanation is the unusual high write throughput was for a short amount of time. While vman shows the average data for the collection interval (10 mins by default), vSphere client shows average data for 20 seconds interval, so the values can vary quite a bit. You can eventually compare the maximum values of Write…

Hi Scott, you are on the right way. You can change the alert condition by going to Content > search for "Guest storage space utilization" alert > Open > Configure > Scope tab > Search Query There you can change the default Lucene condition to something like vm.powerstate:poweredOn AND vm.vol.freeSpacePercentage:[0 TO 10]…

Please take a look at vCenter 5.5/6.5 VMs display high latency with enormous values in VMAN - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support Too high latency values on VMs already come from VCenter API and we can't do much about it. We filter out values higher than 1 minute. Can you please check how it looks like in vsphere…

If you are interested in monitoring each volume on this drive separately, then you can monitor given virtual machine through WMI/SNMP (need to be managed as a node). If you can't or don't want to monitor such VM through WMI/SNMP, then only option which comes to my mind is to have integration with Virtualization Manager.…

Hyper-V unfortunately doesn't provide any way how to measure static memory usage. I would recommend to enable dynamic memory. In case you are using SolarWinds Orion products too, you can poll that VM as Node from Orion as well which gives you more options how to get memory usage (SNMP/WMI). KB on that - Hyper-V virtual…

Hello, can you pls share what version of VIM/Orion server you are running? We could not repro such behavior on some latest versions of advanced alert manager. Your query looks fine. Please note the last available Orion platform now ships completely new web based alerting.

A little bit tricky way would be to edit/create an alert and in Trigger/Reset Action step you can copy/duplicate action you need and it will be available from Action Manager afterwards.

Can you please provide us what particular information you would like to get explained as well as what is the resource/page the screenshot was taken from? Thanks a lot in advance

VIM_VMStatistics_Detail contains data only for last 7 days. Older data are rolled out to hourly and daily tables. Maybe you want to check VIM_VMStatistics view which does the union from all those 3 tables.

You can add snapshot name (single value) into your alert message this way 1. When selecting variable to insert, check "Define SQL/SWQL Variable (Advanced)" option 2. Switch to SWQL radio button and use query SELECT TOP 1 Name From Orion.VIM.Snapshots WHERE VirtualMachineID = ${N=SwisEntity;M=VirtualMachineID} ORDER BY…

Those Top-N widgets use by default utilization of read operations. To have a better idea of VMs with overall high utilization, I would recommend to clone/modify that Top-N widget and change the defining query to consider read and write utilization together. For the case of Top-N VM Storage Throughput the query will then…

Please open a ticket with Solarwinds support. To speed up troubleshooting, you can check freeSpace values provided by vSphere API https://YOUR_VCENTER_ADDRESS/mob/?moid=YOUR_DATASTORE_MOID&doPath=info https://YOUR_VCENTER_ADDRESS/mob/?moid=YOUR_DATASTORE_MOID&doPath=summary to get YOUR_DATASTORE_MOID just run this sql…

I am not user of Sharepoint, however what you need to do is to allow VMan flash widget to communicate with javascript code. When you "Copy widget link" on the VMan dashboard, use the HTML snippet instead of direct URL. What's more, you need to put one more parameter into the snippet. <param name="allowScriptAccess"…

In case you are still looking for the answer, the scope definition for Guest Storage Space Utilization alert should be as follows (considering you have set a label to vm as you mentioned above): vm.powerstate:poweredOn AND vm.vol.freeSpacePercentage:[0 TO 5] AND -ExcludeFromGuestStorageSpaceUtilization:True

Hello, in case you have NPM product installed (11.5), you can try out Global Search Technical preview - pls check this post - Global Search Technical Preview - Notes & Info In other case there is some limited possibility how to search the objects on Orion website - in case you are searching the managed node, go to Settings…

Hello, I believe there is a problem with security sandbox violation in Flash Player, because you are trying to embed flash widget from domain A into a site which runs on domain B. To fix that it is necessary to slightly modify the embedding code you use (that one you get when you click on "Copy Widget Link" from the widget…

Hello, this resource "Guests with problems" shows the VMs which have "bad" status.That status can is driven by multiple factors. In this case it is because one of the performance counters exceeded the threshold. If you open the detail view of this VM (virtualization summary) there should be a performance chart showing all…
