My environment (Orion 2025.4) has a built-in "Upcoming maintenance schedules for this entity" widget:

HA failover No alert trigger action Automation fail

Stall mucker/groom for a pony farm, ice cream scooper, commercial laundry worker, one-man help desk + hardware support, web developer, DBA, sysadmin. Most satisfying? Mucking stalls. Yeah, it's literally a sh-tty job, but the parameters are clear, and there are ponies. I learned that glamour is 100% not essential to job…

Same here. Cool prize!

We fitted the server room with enclosures and additional fans to reduce the space that needs active cooling and to direct airflow to where it's needed more efficiently.

Come to the actual city of Chicago, not one of those godforsaken suburbs an hour away.

How is this still not fixed?

That's not what I requested, though. Solarwinds should create an audit event when someone clears an alert. I see that it's logged in AlertHistory, but I can't trigger an alert based on a row in AlertHistory. I'm looking for a change to the AuditingEvents table.

I have found a successful workaround using a computed column. Remember, my original requirement was to get the contents of this query into the email field of an application alert: SELECT IsNull(NullIf(ACP.AlertEmail,''),N.AlertEmail) FROM APM_ApplicationCustomProperties ACP INNER JOIN APM_Application A on…

Thanks. We don’t have LEM now, but that’s useful to know for the future.

Hi maria.bungau, is today's question broken? When I click "Next," it doesn't take me to either the pass/fail page or to a page where I can enter my Thwack ID.

Bumping for the Chicago SWUG event.

I set up a custom alert on Audit Events where the Action Type is "Alert acknowledged". The trigger condition page looks like this: This will subscribe the alert to all acknowledgement events. You can assign any actions you want (email, etc.) to the alert's trigger actions.

This is going to become a must-have for many customers going forward!

We still use email for alerts that can wait until the next business day, or for alerts where someone wants to know it happened but doesn't want to be woken up for it.

Try duplicating the alert definition and saving it as a new alert definition. I did this and found that the SQL macros in the new alert (the duplicate) execute correctly. Don't try simulating the alert - the error still shows up there. It should be correct when the alert runs, though. Please let me know if this works for…

Ah, got it! Thanks!

It's possible to get the name or ID of the Solarwinds node into OpsGenie. Usually I do this by having the original alert put the name of the node into the subject of the alert (e.g. "Application SQL Server on sql.mycorporation.com is Down"). Later, when someone acknowledges the alert, the node name is already in the…

Here's my smilin' torso to jump start your Monday morning. @

Bumping - I'd like to be able to get the LogEventID and the DateTime for the log message as well.

We really need this. At the very least, recurring maintenance schedules need to be manageable from the Orion console. Having to configure a separate utility, on the Solarwinds server, is at best a nuisance.

Add me to the list of people who want a feature like this. A lot of my end users only want to get alerts for a node/components/etc on a temporary basis (say, during the busiest enrollment periods or during drop/add week). A user-managed subscription feature would save the admins the hassle of responding to "Oh, I just…

Thanks!

Why has this not been implemented already? It seems like an obvious and basic feature for any tool that claims to provide text matching.

Same here. DanielleH​, could you check again, please? Thanks.

If all our picks in Round 2 were correct, how do we claim a prize?

We could really use this feature - we have several teams that use scripts for SolarWinds automation, and we really need to know more about this activity.

Nope, we like the product for its personallity.

I'm finding that SQL queries always work for Nodes and never work for Groups. They work for Virtual Machines if there is an associated Node ID (i.e. the VM is managed as a node), and they fail if there is no associated Node ID (i.e. the VM is not managed as a node)
