Would have to do it in SQL, but yes it can be done. I'd probably do something like search the events table for a count of node down events where timestamp > dateadd(mm,-60,getutcdate()) for each node having count(events) > 3 . I don't have time to whip the actual SQL up right now but hopefully that gives you a place to…

Assuming you have snmp/wmi working then you can go to list resources on that node and change the status and response time poller to use snmp instead of icmp

Your trigger object will be a Virtual machine. Virtual Machine Volumes show up in the alert building GUI from there.

I've noticed people with this problem before, at a glance it seemsthat for your "average percent utilization" columns you selected the current average instead of selecting it from the historical traffic data. This value would update every 10 minutes and is the average over the polling cycle. The clue is that the icon…

I think you are misunderstanding what a 99th percentile traffic report is intended to do. It takes all the datapoints, cuts out the top 1% of them to allow you to ignore short burst outliers and then averages whatever is left. The concept mostly comes into play when dealing with network providers as their SLA's often…

The auto dependency is always a bit of a gamble and requires you to validate all the relationships it finds. I've always preferred this script based method of identifying dependencies. Automatic Dependencies Based On Custom Properties (Node Location)

I've not personally done it, but KMSigma​ has a couple posts on his block relating to running a scripted instance of the config wizard. For your scenario you would need to run phase 1 of your script to change the password in SQL…

From the sound of what you described it would seem like there shouldn't be any additional weird logic, firewall goes down and is the parent of a group then everything in that group gets marked unreachable. There's not much else to it. In general with dependencies there is always a bit of leakage when the child nodes get…

Any service that you monitor in a sam template already has their metrics tracked, so if there are just a few processes you want historical data on then you are already set. If you want to try and have dynamic ongoing graphing of all processes forever you won't get it with any native SAM functions because the amount of data…

So first question being, would you expect display current-configuration to be the correct commands on that switch. Assuming that is the case there are basically two steps I use to solve any NCM device template issues i have ever run into. First, you are likely going to want to turn on session tracing, Generate session…

Try ${N=SwisEntity;M=ComponentAlert.StatisticData}

If you post the query you are using it should be easy to explain what change you need to make

For systems that are agent based then they would automatically add themselves when the agent is running, did you uninstall it from the servers themselves?

This resource is available out of the box if you search for overall devices backed up vs all devices

That's already a natively supported option, as long as your device reports their duplex state in SNMP.

For most of those type of values the easiest way to show them is just add the Universal Poller Status to the details view, it will just list off the current value for them and when they were last polled.

Yeah my first though seeing bands like that would be a polling gap. Do they all line up where all devices went white at the same time or are they staggered? If everything stops polling at once I usually interpret that to be the polling engine or database having trouble. From here it looks like they are consistent at 3 hour…

Probably will need to take a look at some of the admin guide documentation for SAM if you are new to the product. You would just need to edit the template to disable or remove that monitor. Manage application monitor templates and component monitors - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support​ As far as the main issue…

You can get a taste of what SAM is able to pull in regarding hyper v from the oriondemo website, http://oriondemo.solarwinds.com/Orion/VIM/VIMHyperVSummary.aspx?view=VIM%20HyperV%20Summary Even without VMAN you would be able to get most of the same data, I'm fairly certain that the primary difference would be that any…

Not sure about the Never option, but to switch any object to just be No you can use RemoveNode from Cirrus.Nodes SolarWinds Information Service v3.0 Schema Documentation

I think the key element in your story is the Unreachable. This would imply that you have dependencies set up. When a parent in a dependency becomes unavailable solarwinds does not attempt to poll the downstream objects at all. So in this case the device is reporting that it was up 98% of the times that solarwinds tried to…

I've definitely seen this in some of my reports when i try to correlate down events to up events, I also had a client who told me he had a really bad time with this for a while that was resolved with a hotfix about a year ago. Not sure if you are running the latest release?

Is engineid 1 a valid engine in your environment? Check the orion.engines table in swql

No central repo capability exists as of now, in cases like yours where scalability of a repeating function becomes an issue I usually begin to edit the SQL directly, but that can be a bit of a mess to manage if you aren't familiar with the DB. IIRC in the case of the scripts they are all stored on…

Completely undocumented, I've learned to make one-off adjustments when I didn't want to do repetitive work in the GUI, but its murky in there. Your best bet is just to create an example of the alert you want then export it and pick apart the XML. You can definitely use the API to export alerts and import them, and I…

So first of all, does that account that you are trying to use have access to orion web console? It does not matter if it works anywhere else, if it can't access the Orion web console it won't work.

The sysuptime SNMP OID is a 32 bit count of timeticks since the last reboot, around 497 days of uptime that counter rolls over. Orion doesn't keep any kind of secondary table of this information to know if the counter rolled over due to maxing out versus resetting from a reboot. As you know SolarWinds themselves are pretty…

If you customize the page there is a resource called short blank space or tall blank space, once you add those in you can edit them to specify exactly how tall it needs to be. -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and Professional Services * LinkedIN: Loop1 Systems * Facebook: Loop1 Systems * Twitter:…

If I understand your description correctly I think you are seeing the historical averages for that chart. So it's showing the average for that same period of time/day in the previous weeks

Take your report, add in the column for the location (im assuming this is a custom property you are filtering on), delete the node specific name and address columns, then on the availability column there should be an option for data aggregation, set that to average. That should get you the average availability per location.
