It should be noted that some of my filters are quite long. Also to clarify it's the TrapRules table that is having the problem.

In any version other than 9.5 yes, they were doing the same thing I reported as broken with 9.5.

If it is that doesn't work either. I checked my older (pre 9.5) links and I had them hardcoded to &dataformat=excel and that worked prior to the upgrade.

I submitted an idea http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1056 for SolarWinds to expand on this concept and hopefully have it built into the product. I urge other users faced with this issue to consider voting on it. Thanks

Freemen, It is up to the administrator. If you have the device/vol/app muted it will not alert. Once you set that property it will exclude it from any alerts if you have muting supressed from your alert conditions. Here is an example of where I would use muting. We get a proactive maintenance notification from Verizon…

Is there any way to script this? I am looking for the ability to do this in the same manner as unmanage. I need to be able to set it for a future time and have it restore at a set time. Unmanage is great for a node that is down IMHO but for a maintenance event I would love to be able to script this muting so that I don't…

Actually Danielle this is a separate issue. Your other post is referring to multiple IPs on the same device...this post is for multiple devices with the same IP address. SDSCYR, When I managed a NOC I was faced with the same issues for some of our customers. The problem with the method you are describing while you can…

While this isn't directly a topic of a recent feature request I made I would encourage you to review and vote on this idea as a complete overhaul of trapping is needed in my opinion. http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1139

If I'm interpreting this right you need to basically duplicate the built in reboot alert and then make the alert condition an all and include the group contains Specified Group.

Nope...same issue still exists

Nandish, I do not want event summary I find that report to be useless. I need to see the actual alerts on that node not just the summary. We have several layers of redundancy so it is common to lose an interface or a circuit bundle and the device still be up...however when I look at the node details it doesn't show any of…

Yes on the escalation to retrigger the event. However keep in mind default polling interval for interface statistics is 9 minutes. So you won't get to a true granularity of 5 minutes unless you poll the interface more frequently. I would personally apply custom properties to the key interfaces you are concerned about…

Also to clarify the traps do not import any information from the nodes table in the database other than the NodeID. So even if a trap is received properly and you have the caption set as one thing it will use whatever it gets back from the reverse lookup.

Thanks for the shout out. Yes that template was designed just for that. We had a process in which if it ran more than 30 minutes it had hung so we set monitoring around just that.

There are some other threads regarding this topic but unfortunately the answer is no. My last employer was a Managed Service Provider and I had hundreds of SNMP strings that I had to remove from every discovery to choose the one that I wanted. It is very frustrating.

We fall into the multiple pollers and are on 10.2.2. so I assume that is our problem the devices reside on poller 3 but NCM is on poller 1 so I guess like you said it didn't have rights to notify the other poller of the change. We should be upgrading to 10.3 soon so I'll probably hold off on the fix and manually delete…

Oh and whomever said from support that no one has ever ran into this should go to thwack and run a search for Multiple IPs on a node and see the dozens (if not hundreds) of posts complaining about this. I'm often quick to promote solarwinds for many of my previous customers but this "limitation" has haunted me for years.…

Thanks I will see what I can find...basically I'm looking to create a report showing orphaned Virtual Machines so I can research internally and find out the parent ESX host and make sure to get them into monitoring.

Here is an example of what I am pulling into the table.

Not yet, I installed the upgrade Sunday afternoon so we had this issue early Monday AM and now this morning. I just narrowed it down to DB Maint being the issue a few minutes ago. I posted here first to see if anyone else had seen it in 9.5. My next step is support. The maintenance is hanging on summarizion data from…

Any thoughts on this? Here is another example from this morning where we took a circuit hit between 9-10 PM last night but errors roll up into errors today. When I click on the error total and view a chart of today I see nothing when I look at the last 24 hours I see the spike.

This is awesome. I just got asked to do a similar comparison. There are added benefits to the volume monitoring via WMI like the DiskIO stuff out of the box. My main concern that I have to test for is clustered servers. If I have to monitor a server 5 times (one for each virtual instance because it might move) how will…

Thanks. Yeah I think after about the 5th time someone asked me for the URL to their custom page (because they had forgotten to bookmark it) I decided to start doing this.

We took an entirely different approach that works great for us. We made a SAM monitor. It executes a powershell script that calls the sysuptime from SNMP. If we get a valid response the monitor is up. If we don't we utilize the new sustained threshold in solarwinds to look for 3 consecutive failures. What I was finding…

Yeah this spread like wild fire as the app owner that got me started with this shared with several other app owners within our company and we were doing plenty of these. Glad to hear others having a similar experience.

profzoom1, Just edit the resource for your summary page and add the report. When you look at the listing of available resources there is a section called report writer. Add that resource and then you can choose to add that particular report. You can do this to add any report to any view.

Probably...I got the idea by first having a report that showed frequent events in the NPM log. Basically I count all events that are unique and tally them up. I had to get creative and like I said remove stuff that was too granular such as actual % used or things of that nature. This allows me to say ok I had 30 events for…

Subscribed to the RSS feed now I can get notified when something new get's added without having to look...thanks again.

Great thanks...would be awesome if we could sort by ideas we had already voted on.

I like the use of ideation but not so much the format...it seems very complicated to see the ideas. I have to go to each individual space to find them (which I completely understand why that is) but I would like to see some sort of culmination where ideas from any space could be viewed.
