To do this as a one-off just set up conditions like this: Alert on a volume, set the conditions such that node name is "yournode" and Volume caption starts with "D:" and (volumepercentused is greater than 90 Or volumefreespace is less than 100000000000) Due to some quirks with the way the developers put together the…

I've seen it both ways. Some clients will just monitor every interface for all traffic, but I find that just makes your NTA screen bloated with irrelevant info, you usually are only interested in key choke points like wan interfaces and similar. If you have gig(10,40) links between infrastructure then you are rarely going…

It's usually not terrible hard if you follow this documentation: Orion Platform Migration Guide

If they have appinsight on them this will get them SELECT Name, NodeID, Availability, LastTimeUp, TimeStamp, TemplateDescription, InstanceName, ProductVersion, ProductLevel, Edition FROM Orion.APM.SqlServerApplicationAlert

NPM tracks uptime of the network devices and interfaces, but tracking bandwidth consumption is a feature of NTA and correlating that info to specific users is something you would need UDT to do. Solarwinds can poll Checkpoint devices for SNMP for common things such as cpu and memory and bandwidth utilization. For anything…

In the IPAM settings there is a setting to disable ICMP scanning and DIsable SNMP scanning. Turn those off and if I recall correctly it won't kill in process jobs but it will stop any new ones from running.

The way those filters work is that whatever property you are looking for has to be a column on the Orion database's Nodes view, unfortunately muting isn't tracked on that view so no filter will see it with the out of the box resources. I wrote a custom swql resource that does track muted and unmanaged nodes, just tweaked…

There is no public documentation of how solarwinds populates any of the values in there, you just learn it by trial and error if you are brave enough to go in there mucking around. I would say that in this case I would be reluctant to even attempt a SQL/SWQL based resolution to the issue you are seeing because that data is…

You can control what shows up in VMAN by editing the permissions of the service account you to access Vcenter. VMware permissions are extremely granular and you can list of specifically which devices the account does and does no have access to.

Try this, customize the view you want this data to show up on and add the Universal Device Poller Status resource. That displays the enumerated values of all the pollers assigned to that device. There are also a lot of other more complicated ways to get what you want done but hopefully this gets you what you want to see…

Sucks that you are on the networking side rather than server admin because my go to solution to this would be via powershell. You can use whatever scripting engine you like really but the end result is you would need to set up custom script monitors to query this api for the values you need. This post gives a break down on…

If you are using azure AD it can be set up to run orion through their web proxy, i have one client who did so and it was very easy to use once they figured it out.

As long as you remember to change it, i want to say its kind of easy to miss because I've had 2-3 clients of mine who accidentally skipped changing it in the last year or two.

Try this in a custom query resource, shows all muted or unmanaged nodes and when they will be coming back online. SELECT 'Unmanaged' as [Status] ,n.Caption AS [Node] ,tostring(tolocal(n.UnManageFrom)) AS [From] ,case when n.UnManageUntil is null or n.UnManageUntil = '9999-01-01 00:00:00' then 'Not set' else…

Modules cannot be integrated with multiple orion instances. You can disable the licenses from instance1 and install them on instance2, or any other combinations you want to come up with, but it can only ever be active in one place at a time.

Am I correct that you are looking for the list of all mac addresses attached to the routers and switches? Not the addresses on the switches themselves, correct? The Cisco command for that would be show mac-address table, or on some newer devices it is show mac address-table. Schedule a job in ncm to just run that against…

Whenever something weird is happening in NCM i suggest you turn on session tracing, and then watch the log file it creates, you can see exactly what Orion sends, what responses it gets, and a psuedo code explanation of how Orion is interpreting those responses. Never used a trace for an alert action but I believe it should…

Looking over your conditions it seems like it shouldn't have triggered, my best guess is that there may have been a short period of time between status changes where at least one of the monitors was still not warn/crit while at least one of the other two had already changed. Maybe throw a minimum time on the secondary…

This is the query I use for that, SELECT 'Unmanaged' AS [Status] ,n.Caption AS [Node] ,tostring(tolocal(n.UnManageFrom)) AS [From] ,CASE WHEN n.UnManageUntil IS NULL OR n.UnManageUntil = '9999-01-01 00:00:00' THEN 'Not set' ELSE tostring(tolocal(n.UnManageUntil)) END AS [Until] ,CASE WHEN n.UnManageUntil IS NULL OR…

Due to overlapping values merging the two would be challenging to say the least. The simplest method is most likely to export all your subnets and such from the old IPAM instance, install an IPAM demo on the NPM/NCM instance, import the subnets into that, go through the old one and new one basically side by side setting up…

Have you tried to use the configure button? I was under the impression that PoSH was always compatible with commands from older versions and have not run into any issues regarding anyone having newer versions of powershell. A lot of things can give you a headache with setting up the Exchange template and permissions and…

Yes you can set up a custom chart of any metrics you want to stack (my chart doesn't demo this as well as your data since the one interface in my set monopolized most the traffic, but you get the idea.) There's also Perfstack that was added relatively recently, which I feel like does visualization significantly better than…

I want to say that the powershell script monitor won't even accept a character as the "statistic" You probably need to set logic in the script itself that would just output a dummy number for the statistic and then includes a message with the actual character in it, and then use exit codes to enforce the…

So this particular issue is kind of difficult because there is no single value in the database that is "this is what is wrong with your component" There are 49 different types of components, and many of those components can go into warning/critical based on multiple different metrics and conditions that you define when you…

I've not found a device with ssh that I couldn't access with ncm, but for less common gear you may have to make your own templates. It can be a little bit of a chore, especially if there is not a succinct command for displaying a config. Some devices don't ever actually display a config in the sense that Cisco does, they…

Did you assign the UNDP to any nodes? Despite the name, the default category is not applied to any nodes automatically, it is just the default folder to place UNDP into. Also, FYI, that OID is deprecated on most modern cisco gear and no similar OID exists to replace it. You will find that out as you test it against the…

The custom query resource doesnt use t-sql, it uses a solarwinds proprietary thing called SWQL, which is 90% like SQL, but different enough that you have to shuffle things around to move back and forth between them. Digging through that might be a bit of a large bite to chew right out of the gate, but what you can do…

The maps only propagate up the status of the objects that are actually on that map, so if you want the SAM application to change the status of the maps I believe you would need to add them to the map as their own objects. You can find them by drilling down into the node object in Atlas and then any sam apps would show up…

If I remember correctly the note is a Node note, not an alert note, add the notes widget to the node details view and see if you have data there.
