Thanks. Right now I'm working on project where the end user has already decided that forwarding traps isn't what he needs. However, trap forwarding will probably be exactly what we need for other projects.

I'll take a look at Kiwi, thanks.

How do you change the agent redeployment interval?

Thanks. That was my first thought, too. We had a similar problem after our APEs got a bunch of Windows updates, including a .Net update, out of sync with our main Orion server. I've confirmed (as has Solarwinds support) that the .Net versions are the same on the APEs and the Orion server, though.

Yes, the upgrade and config wizard completed successfully. I will take a look at the article. Shout-out to Loop1, BTW. I've been working on this case with one of your colleagues as well as with Solarwinds support.

Glad it's working now! Solarwinds, if you're listening, please make this process easier!

Thanks! That's exactly what I need.

Thanks! I will revise my Unmanage code.

Thanks. I set this up, but it looks like the "Custom Property edited" action refers to editing the definition of a custom property, not to changing the value of a custom property. If I change the value of "Alerting" for a group from Yes to No, the alert isn't triggered. If I edit the definition of the custom property (e.g.…

SQL and SWQL don't scare me. Would you share your queries?

Hi mat12, I tested this with my own system and I can't reproduce the behavior at all. I tried having User1 and User2 mute and unmute a node in various combinations (User1 mutes and unmutes, then User2 mutes versus User1 mutes, User2 unmutes and mutes again). The query always correctly showed the ID of the last user to mute…

Hi rajasekar​, This query includes future scheduled unmanagement: Select N.Caption, N.UnManageFrom, N.UnManageUntil, LastUnmanageEvent.TimeLoggedUtc, AE.AccountID from Orion.Nodes N LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT NetObjectID, Max(AuditEventID) as [AuditEventID], Max(TimeLoggedUtc) as [TimeLoggedUtc] FROM Orion.AuditingEvents…

Thanks!

I applied HF4 and other Solarwinds updates, and now NCM is broken on my APEs. I can't run discoveries from the APEs or list resources for any node handled by an APE. If I uninstall the NCM components from an APE, I can run discoveries/list resources; if I reinstall the NCM components, I can no longer do that. I'll be…

Hi Richard, I'm working on a similar set of alerts now. Can you explain why you assign a color to the traps and use value of Trap.colorcode in the SQL query instead of looking at the value of Trap.Traptype? Thanks!

Hi Serena, You are correct - this used a custom query that spelled out the name of the object type, which is why the migration script didn't touch it. I don't have any other custom alerts that do that. As long as the name of the object type doesn't change again, this alert should be OK

I did this, but now I have a warning in my Solarwinds web console telling me that my eval license of Orion Scalability Engine Evaluation is expiring soon.

Make sure that you are wrapping L.LastUpdate in tolocal() as well, so it doesn't display in Universal Time: SELECT A.DisplayName,P.Name, C.IPAddress,tolocal(L.LastUpdate) as LastUpdate, C.MAC, C.SignalStrength as Signal_Strength, P.SSID FROM Orion.Wireless.AccessPoints A INNER JOIN Orion.Wireless.Clients C on…

No, because that's what the EventTime >= ADDHOUR(-24, GETUTCDATE()) statement does. That limits the query to events within the last 24 hours.

How busy is your Solarwinds environment? When I run the query (with correct parentheses) on my system, I get over 20K rows. 12K sounds pretty reasonable. Your best bet for reducing the number of rows is to refine your query to be a bit more selective about which events it returns. Do you really need to report every event…

Hi serena​, I don't know if kschmalz​ has opened a suppport ticket for this issue, but I have. My ticket is #00387697.

We see this in a couple of situations: 1. A physical drive has been replaced. The new drive has a different serial number, so if the node is rediscovered, Solarwinds treats the replacement drive as a new volume. 2. A virtual disk is restored, expanded, or shrunk. If this is done by migrating to a new virtual disk and then…

Use the Orion.Credential entity and the UpdateUsernamePasswordCredentials action, like this (this is Python, but PowerShell is similar): credParams = [ credentialID, --ID of a credential in Orion.Credential CredentialName, Username, Password --plain text ] swis.invoke( 'Orion.Credential',…

The ${N=OrionGroup;M=GroupStatusRootCause} alert variable will produce a list of all group members that are contributing to the group's warning/critical/down status.

Your code will look something like this: if (!(Get-PSSnapin | where {$_.Name -eq "SwisSnapin"})) { Add-PSSnapin "SwisSnapin" } $server=<IP or FQDN of your Solarwinds server> $credential = Get-Credential $SWIS= Connect-Swis -Credential $credential -Hostname $server $IP = <IP of the node you want to change> $swisQuery =…

Hi @"CUTech4176", thanks for letting me know. I haven't had any problems using Active Directory accounts with scripts like this. I'll do some more testing, though.

You can use a Custom Table resource instead of a Custom Query resource. Add a Custom Table widget to the page where you want to display the query output. Edit the new Custom Table resource and click "Select Resource." In the Data Source Picker, choose "Advanced Data Source Query (SQL, SWQL). Under Query Type, click the SQL…

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi serena​, it looks like it's just in the logs. LM is catching SNMP traps without problems.
