Kellie if you need a SW veteran you know how to find me...always happy to help. 

You need to adjust your database retention settings if you need to keep more granularity. By default I believe it is set to 7 days for detailed. Be aware that this could cause large database sizes depending on the number of elements you are polling. To change this go to settings, polling settings, then the Database…

THat's really weird...it's allowing me to save the changes now...I must have had something else going on earlier because every time I tried to save the alert it crashed...I deleted it and created a new one and it works Well that fixes the problem I was having with that piece. I still have to do multiple alerts however for…

Not syslog but I did have performance issues when receiving several hundred traps per second a few years back. Honestly don't know however if it was the database or the poller that was the bottleneck.

I haven't tried it yet but I've been wanting to issue a SQL query via an APM powershell script so I could actually interpret the message. Like I said I haven't done it yet but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Netlogix, It's been a while but I believe this is exactly the process I went through when I moved from SQL on the same server (not express) to a dedicated SQL server. Once the dependency links were removed I was able to stop SQL without issue. I don't believe I uninstalled but rather simply disabled the services.

as I explained I have done that. In fact I did it for all nodes however it keeps turning itself back on for a handful of ESX hosts.

Thanks. I have disabled it for all nodes. While I do appreciate the new feature it does irk me that additional polling capabilities are enabled by default leaving the user no ability to turn off or on without DB access.

I have seen similar issues before particularly with Shoretel switches. Some sort of nightly maintenance that the Shoretel switches performed caused a cleanup that made SNMP think that the last boot time had changed. I have seen it from time to time with other devices but the Shoretel switches it happened every night. This…

Thanks for the tip I'm upgrading tomorrow. So is importing no longer an option then in 10.4 without this workaround? Bulk editing in SQL is ok if you are doing as you suggested "Where Vendor ='Cisco' " but what if I want to add in a contract number and end date for two hundred nodes as these are all unique edits. I'm…

You have NPM as well...this can be accomplished simply with custom properties. I have added properties such as contract number and maintenance end date. You can then potentially build a report that includes upcoming maintenance renewals for a year or quarter...etc. This is something in my mind that would never be built in…

smarion, The standard rule of thumb I have always gone by is that you don't want to consistently exceed your WAN links by 70% and your LAN links by 30%. That being said when you are looking at the charts and graphs in Orion these are based off of a 24 hour clock by default. So if you are looking at the monthly utilization…

While we decided in the end not to enable it we did test the functionality. We use info@hand a Sugar based CRM product. I created a custom property for each monitored device to match the account name in the ticketing system. Then used email alerts with the account name variable and the other important details to fill out…

The monitor in question is showing down and returns that error when you look at more info. I will open a case later today.

I'm getting this exact same message in the full release version. It's only on one APM template. Any idea what the cause is so I can correct?

Would I be correct in assuming these APs have dynamically assigned IPs from a wireless controller? It's possible they were discovered again on a different IP address.

While I never personally tried on Vista, I have on Windows 7 and Windows XP sucessfully. Just because it's not supported doesn't mean it won't work....just don't call in a ticket

Thanks that was actually very close to what I was looking for. I stripped the query from your report and revised to suit my needs. Thanks.

The only reason I have ever monitored a loopback is because I had a client who would put SNMP description information on a loopback interface such as serial numbers, asset tags. We would get this through the monitoring. As to polling the interface for data. I personally have no benefit of doing so.

First of all a ton of thanks that got me very close to what I am looking for. So is this for all events? How would I go about changing it to daily, weekly, monthly etc. Not all in one report mind you but where could I change that so I can create multiple copies on for date -1, date -7, date -30 for example. Now that I…

I didn't have this happen at all yesterday but on Wednesday it happened several times throughout the day.

Unfortunately no...there is still no support for multiple IPs per node....it is an issue that plagues me every single day.

That looks exactly like what I need. I'll look into this next week when I have some time. It's a shame needing a custom HTML resource to accomplish such a basic task...Hopefully someone at SW is watching this

So does the Dev system have the same naming convention as your prod system? I assume no so how do you take on the changes after replication.

In my case I was asked to look for the presence of a file at the top of every hour....It was in some type of watched folder where that file should be processed and removed within 15 minutes. I was able to work around with some creative alerting but it wasn't pretty. We have had similar requests (almost always looking for a…

Initial response from support. Hello Mike; Thank you for the information, could you please send me the Hardware configuration for you SQL and for all three SolarWinds servers. I will need the CPU configuration, Total RAM, HDD Configuration, and if the servers are Physical or Virtual. Also let's plan a down time and remote…

Awesome thanks. I did have to add an End if to the end of the script after adding in the arguments to get it to work but this will be much cleaner now. Oh and due to a slip of the mouse your reply was given two stars...it won't let me change it :P

Still can't get SW to identify why this is only impacting the alerting engine.

Reading the specs on your SQL server I hear the voice of Homer Simpson in my head drooling "MMM 8 SSD mirror"

I'm in an environment with multiple polling engines. I'd like to be able to distribute the load across all engines instead of all of the ping testing being sourced from my primary.
