  • If you are looking for the status of the component, and this is an application alert, these should work If you are using an application alert the first two options give status. The first option gives only problem status for all components, and the second gives status on all components (up, down, etc). These could be…
  • You are correct that this is SAM, there are a couple of built in components that might do what you need - File Exists or even the File Age monitor, and there are script monitors that allow you to create your customized monitors. 
  • Any thoughts on linking integrating Loggly with NCM Real Time Change Detection? If loggly is handling all the logs, forwarding those events or triggering the NCM backup job based on change detection seems like a natural fit.
  • Update: the custom poller is working fine in NPM12.1. This was great, thanks for the information.
  • I am on NPM 12.1 and am working on this. I don't see that NPM12.2 directly addresses it either. I was going to implement the Gen3 polling change, but your comment has changed my mind. I will look at the custom poller route. The poller checker tool was a definite help, along with your and everyone else comments on this…
  • Xtraspecialj – good info to know. Please update after you get to 12.3 as there is an ncm thread to report which template (besides autodetermine) is used by NCM. I think this is available in swql somewhere, but it looks like it will be a needle in a haystack. Thanks Marc
  • Ditto to Tim and Eckler1. The SDK/api has its own update path on github. – and SWQL Studio just gets better and better. I have had too many sql reports fail after upgrades and swql is a path around that. If something were to change and require an update to the API, I suspect it would be available as required.
  • The slimmed down version of LM will replace the current trap and syslog service of NPM, so I assume that all you need is active maintenance when that version of NPM ships. In other words, no new money if you have NPM under maintenance when this is available.
  • jhynds : So if I have a kiwi farm handling the flood, then passing selected messages to the old internal syslog/trap collector in NPM, what happens with NPM 12.4? I don't plan on licensing LM to replace Kiwi. (LM does not scale yet and the licensing model is restrictive for what I would use it for.) Update - I poked around…
  • Did you ever get your reporting issue resolved?
  • If the description that comes through looks like this 'xxx-xxxx User Name' - then you could use a swql substring function on Orion.IpSla.CCMPhones.Description to parse out the numeric characters at the front. This would leave just the user name in that description field.
  • There is thread that I have been following for a couple of years on this topic. Supressing Access Point (AP) Down Alert when the Controller is Down I would agree that Thin AP's are difficult critters to nail down and any help would be very appreciated. I am looking at the alerts based on the disappearance events, but the…
  • You will want to open a request with loggly and ask them increase your limit. I believe they have an internal feature request to allow users to report/edit that list of dynamic fields.
  • This should have a simple answer, but I tend to agree that a sql/swql solution might be best. Here is a real ugly potential method for using the web gui to do this.. I have not tested it, but it might work. I take no credit (or blame) for how wrong or silly this is. But here it is: you could create OR conditions using the…
  • You might be looking at a feature request to specify longer periods. Otherwise the best that I can suggest is setting it to -30d, or setting it every month...
  • What happened to the community.loggly.com forum? I kinda figured they might be here on thwack now. But the huge 404 with the "we decided to shut down the community forum message" on loggly is usually something I see when a product or vendor is sunset. I dont think that is the case. Would it be possible to link it to…
