Good work

Lots of train strikes, you picked the wrong week

Ive come to the point now where I need to schedule a maintenance window ongoing as we have reboots of switches which are scheduled for the same time each month, so either one within the job or elsewhere with a calender

ok its not saving once you change the node to icon - based on status - that doesnt save - the button is greyed out - is this just me? 

The Shadow node feature isnt working despite being set in global settings. The nodes arent appearing, sometimes the background appears other times it doesnt, the connections are also not as they used to be and sometimes missing .

Yes, I'm interested London is fine for me, last year was informative, a good crew!

If you are authenticating through AD remember to use the format domain\username for username I've been using... $swis = Connect-Swis –Trusted –Hostname localhost <<----- this works ok for me

Currently using Itracks but looking for an integrated solution which Orion would probably be the best place as the serial number, audit of the nodes etc to keep basic fibre patch panel connection info

If you can run the database on a separate server even better and just use the server as a application server. So basically are you monitoring the infrastructure that the VM is sitting on? so if that infrastructure goes belly up?

You can also do contains / equal to instead of doesn't contain.

The best thing to do is to go to edit the node and recheck that SNMP or WMI etc is connecting using the set credentials within the node. it could be unreachable but not able to show it as down because of the loopback etc

SAM can do SSL cerificate monitoring https://www.solarwinds.com/server-application-monitor/use-cases/ssl-certificate-monitor for which you can them add to dashboards

Hi there, within reporting you can select table and go through the editor as they should be able to be picked . Im no DBA either, most of the time its on here somewhere :) and you can manipulate and add /remove /change as required hope that helps click edit click the plus and add field you can then select the custom field…

In addition you can combine an alert with custom properties For edge switches and routers we have added an extension to the name (caption / node name ) to differentiate (we have combined Cisco and Aruba switches) which means that they can be alerted on combined with such as a node room area. In this case we are telling the…

you 'could' also run the query in: https://servername/Orion/Admin/swis.aspx change "servername" for your server

Have a look to see if any of these help you - it might not help you with labels but I will have a look ${N=SwisEntity;M=GuestDnsName} ${N=SwisEntity;M=IPAddress} VM-ID= ${N=SwisEntity;M=VirtualMachineID} Virtual disk /volume on virtual machine is less than ${N=SwisEntity;M=VolumeSummaryFreeSpacePercent;F=Percent} Guest…

Do we know if Microsoft are still pushing for this to be changed for the 15 August? The notifications appear to have disappeared.... using the above and adding a bit of code (factset) Ive been able to get something but would be nice to have it a bit neater. Ive also found im having to send the messages as me! so a service…

[quote userid="87197" url="~/products/network-performance-monitor-npm/f/forum/102130/new-dashboard-custom-properties-query"]I want it to check the status and the campus ( are down ) BUT not to not show the campus as down - if the comments equal comments1 or team responsible equal teamA or if the alerting node room is none…

Likewise, Ive configured the workflow as that seems pretty simple from the message, but they dont work and Im trying to figure out why, if its authentication its not giving me a clue, the message in Solarwinds says yes its gone.... but nothing in Teams. A link to help if you are struggling…

for custom properties you can do things like... FROM Orion.Nodes n Status = 2 AND (caption) LIKE '%' + ('edge') WHERE (n.CustomProperties.azure) LIKE ('Azure'))

Have you deleted and readded the switch new? if not this is what you need to do as Orion doesn't like you using the same IP for an updated Node

Fingers and toes crossed then (for you I mean ) everyone will want a drink !

Hiya from past experience, Ive been able to pull out data for interfaces and nodes etc. Power Bi was installed on the main poller. But solarwinds have a reporting module which is easy/easier to use I would say.

Hiya, have you checked if the threshold are in settings -Custom Poller Thresholds which will then be easier to alert on as they show up on the maps etc You can also walk through the new alerts and you can select events from the field selector - is that not what you want?

You can also use hardware sensor thresholds - https://xxxxxx/Orion/HardwareHealth/SensorManagement.aspx and if they are custom pollers (which they probably aren't then you can set them in here:

Im using 2023.3.1 and there is no data being pulled to that table anyway try SELECT TOP 1000 * FROM [dbo].[NodeCiscoCdpEntries] Orion.Nodes is NodeData table where all the nodes are

Is the CPU high, is the database residing on the same server? have you looked at ports to check that they are all open as per the list if the database is elsewhere ? Solarwinds Ports List

yeh thats basically what I do and it works - it ignores the unmanaged nodes

Also in Maps, if you use it, between the two devices you can connect them or draw a line and right click and drop the port channel interface ie in Cisco Po1 or aruba lag1 into the link line between the devices If you are after the actual alert - this is the SWQL from one we use SELECT E0.[Uri], E0.[DisplayName] FROM…

Have you checked if/what jobs are running in NCM - jobs at that time of the morning? There might be a database purge job and maybe backups running causing it.
