I've seen this done a few different ways depending on why you want to see the ACL. Sometimes people want to audit them to ensure all the devices are set up with similar ACL rules, and in that case you would want to build an NCM compliance report with the ACL rules you are looking for. Then you set up a job to check your…

I've never used it, but there is an API verb for it, Orion.APM.ServerManagement RebootNode and you just need to pass it the nodeid in question

There is an OOTB alert called Path to Google, you can copy that as a model. Just change the service name to the one you are using and set the condition to Status is equal to Up

I literally just happened to be copy pasting this query in my client's environment today, it is written to be used on the Node Details page, but if you remove the line with ${nodeid} then it would work as a summary overall. select ah.AlertObjects.AlertConfigurations.Name as [Alert Name], case when EventType=0 then…

On the page where you select such columns to display on the table did you hit the drop down for the "details page link" and status icon? I feel like that would clear it up. No changes to the query itself should be needed, but over the last few years the general direction has been to move away from custom sql tables in…

The widget only displays alerts where the "object I want to alert on" is a node. None of the f5 alerts would show up on that list. I almost always remove that widget from my views because I find it to be misleading

SAM doesn't work that way, their script based monitors will always attempt to copy a script. As workarounds I've had them copy tiny dummy scripts over that were just a place holder while in the command line section I actually put in the shell commands to launch scripts that already exist locally on the server, and you can…

So you need to edit the email template that is being used, and it is probably referencing some kind of variable that doesn't match up to the actual event that you are firing on. If you screenshot the email template, and the alert rule, and maybe an example of an event that triggered the rule it would be really easy to show…

Unfortunately Orion doesn't have any built in support for any type of charts that don't have time as the X axis. When I've done them before for clients we have had to use SQL Reporting. Javascript querying the web interface to populate charts is another technique that I've successfully experimented with but I'm not great…

I believe you added in the all maps resource instead of the one just called Maps, check the resources to add and try that one out

Seems like you guys are talking about two different things. The connection that SW uses for creating tickets is the thing you already did. Now they want to set up something else where they are going to have the events list from Orion show up inside SNOW (I hope they know what a tidal wave of noise is coming at them). For…

All those dynamic/interactive resources are basically javascript. You can use js to query the information service and build anything you can dream up, but to date I haven't seen anyone in the community really demonstrate any strong skill in doing those kind of resources. Just not that many web devs in here I guess. Since…

So the easy answer is No, But if you want to get into the world of wildly complex sql in your messages you could use a custom sql variable with case statements to change your verbiage based on whatever conditions you want. something like Subject: {SQL: Select top 1 case when n.cpuload > 90 then 'Critical' when n.cpuload >…

I don't think you are the only one, I know I've never had a use for them either and i rig up all kinds of things with most other types of properties. I've imagined that you could use them to tag which department created which alert in a big place, but so far basic naming conventions seem to have been able to address that…

Mark covered a lot of the key bits you asked for there but I wanted to chime in with some comments on the transition from Nagios to Orion. If you have a deep background in Nagios then you will probably need to rethink your approach to a lot of things when it comes to using Orion. Especially when it comes to alerting and…

You could use the custom SQL variable and a case condition to populate the html font color. It would be something like this (but definitely not actually this, I'm just winging this from memory) <font color = {sql : select case when severity = 1 then 'red' when severity = 2 then 'orange' when severity = 3 then 'yellow' else…

This is SWQL, not SQL and is meant to be used in the Custom Query resource of the web console SELECT o.AlertConfigurations.Name AS [ALERT NAME] ,'/Orion/NetPerfMon/ActiveAlertDetails.aspx?NetObject=AAT:' + ToString(o.AlertObjectID) AS [_LinkFor_ALERT NAME] ,CASE WHEN o.AlertConfigurations.Severity = 2 THEN…

I've never experimented with manually adding data to it, but there is a table called [NodeIPAddresses] that could be useful. 

Should be one of the last pages of the schedule a backup job workflow.

Sounds odd, I don't normally run into that. Do those same volumes eventually start getting their stats updated correctly or do they stay 0 forever? You maybe have a batch of drives that need to be removed (and I'm assuming the unmanage event clears their old alert and then triggers a fresh one)? If the drives never get…

You might try changing the no longer true reset condition to be explicitly a "WAP status is equal to UP" I find that sometimes the automatic resets get a little iffy. ​I've never really poked inside the system to see if the WAP's are persistent objects, and dont have a wlc to check against, but another idea might be that…

byrona​ You absolutely can, see page 32-34 of the admin guide for WPM. You can install the recorder software on any machine and even run it in Offline mode where it doesn't try to speak to the Orion server and you just export files of the recording to be imported to the players later on. -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems:…

Sounds like you are going to need a web based SMS tool, here is a quick google hit for some companies that offer that service. 10 Services To Send Text Messages From The Web From the orion side you will most likely be be setting up your alert actions as http posts to whatever web server will be ingesting them and…

I suspect that the main difficulty you'd be running into is if you are trying to build this as a node report and not finding interface errors anywhere as an option to filter by. So when you are building reports at the top it asks you want object you want to report on, you always need to pick the most specific object, in…

Transmit is outbound traffic through that interface, TX or uploaded. -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and Professional Services * LinkedIN: Loop1 Systems * Facebook: Loop1 Systems * Twitter: @Loop1Systems

The netflow settings have always been kept in the main solarwindsorion database, the move only affects the actual flow data.

I've never had a need to run the WPM recorder via a run-as, and I'm not sure what the use case is? I could easily imagine that the program might not intended to run that way. The account that you record under would never be the one that the players use anyway, since they run under the local SEUM user accounts unless you…

NCM used to be a completely stand alone product, so it still has it's own version of a LOT of tables and holds different information. If a node has the "add to NCM" option set to yes they get added to the ncm_nodesdata (i think that was the name)table and would show up in that report.

That register now link doesn't seem to have the Arch exam as a choice in the drop down yet

Setting the property isn't really something you'd do inside a windows powershell monitor inside SAM, but you would be able to easily do it with a scheduled task in windows to run a regular powershell script to interacts with the api.
