You'll need to click select data source, make sure to make a copy of what's already there because you run a good chance of breaking it if you don't know SWQL or SQL well. Actually even when you do, I break my widgets all the time trying to make small changes and forgetting a comma or typing something slightly off. Anyway…

There's not any built in capabilities to do so. In cases like that I typically find it easiest to just set up my own data warehouse and build SSRS reports or similar to pull the data I need from it. Also allows me to keep shorter retention periods in the application so performance is strong for real time stuff and we can…

So if you connect using SWQL studio you can look at the metadata section and find which entities can be acted on with what types of operations

When your charts have data intervals that aren't the same as the polling interval it averages them for the web display, this can be misleading for things like charting min/max values unfortunately. If you made the chart into something like a 24 hour chart with 10 minute intervals you would probably get something that more…

You are correct, IPAM IPNodes are referring to a specific IP as an object, and has no concept of a device using multiple addresses. I want to say in the current versions there isn't even really a relationship defined between nodes in NPM/SAM and IP's in IPAM, but I know I've worked up scripts and custom reports and such to…

None of the information from the trigger conditions is passed to the alert action, you would just need to build a complete sql query from scratch to get the information you want. In this case it should probably be something like (completely winging that as I'm not vpn'ed into the lab right now): SELECT CASE WHEN…

Try this as a custom SWQL query, should get you started on your report. You can add it to a report or a dashboard or whatever. SELECT df.Name as [Filename], df.Size, df.LastModifiedTime, df.Type, df.Orphaned FROM Orion.VIM.DiskFiles df where orphaned = 1

Set up a SAM SQL User Experience Monitor, give it creds that can access the db, voila SQL Server User Experience monitor

I just tested it and everything worked on my system with the variables resolving and updating my CP as expected. I'll show you how i set it up and see if you did anything differently. Here is my message: Here is my action, using the alertmessage variable: And here is the result in the Comment property that contains the…

Within SCM you can tell it to run any powershell script you want and it will just retain the results and you can track them for changes over time, so this could be a pretty decent use case. Out of the box there isn't a profile for tracking users yet, but I bet this would be a good feature request to get added in natively.…

NCM variables do not allow you to parse the config to set variables on the fly. What they can reference are custom properties and the built in existing node characteristics. Looking for list of NCM variables So for your first bit you could probably get away with ${nodecaption} or ${sysname} For the loopback address…

I've never run into an issue, but none of my clients have every had all the unusually long of password strings, I think 15 characters is the max I've personally entered. Should be easy enough to create a couple test accounts in your environment just to confirm. The credentials for all the modules are stored in the same…

andy.reynolds@morgansindall.com​ Are you running the new NPM 12 version? They added business hours capabilities directly into the GUI now so you won't have to rely on writing the SQL. I didn't have time to load up your query to test in my environment but I would recommend giving it a go in the GUI if you are using the…

The GUI doesn't let dynamic filters navigate from the interface to the parent node's properties. It's an annoying thing for sure. The work around I've done is to create a matching assettag custom property on the interfaces, and I use an alert trigger with logic that sets the interface assettag to be the same as the parent…

I guess I should put it out there, just to set the correct expectation, VMAN doesn't have any "auto manage all VM's as nodes" feature anyway. It does collect a baseline set of stats about all vm's that includes cpu load, memory used, and network used but it does not turn them into SAM/NPM nodes unless you click a button on…

World map already changes the color of the pins at a location if the node is down, it goes yellow if some of many at a site is down and red if all the nodes at a site are down. There is a customization I have used to add a weather overlay as well which is kind of nice, but those are the main things it does. Shows where…

With SAM there are no built in components for checking registry keys per se but you could do it by setting up a powershell script component to look it up. Here is some discussion regarding how to pull reg keys in powershell variables - How do I get the value of a registry key and ONLY the value using powershell - Stack…

I'm a bit confused, am I reading correctly that active port count just returns the total of ports that are up or down and match the naming filters? This query is really extremely complicated compared to what it should be.

I'd suggest you try it in regular SQL, only because I know for a fact that a client of mine was using a SQL case logic to determine the recipient of their messages. It has been over a year since I saw their environment so its also possible that doesn't work in current releases but it did back then.

I've been pushing the consolidate behind a single instance, as long as your instance will stay under about 100k elements total. I've worked with big clients who had 150k so even that ceiling is not a hard cap, but they had to do a lot of fussing around to get there. EOC is still a work in progress in my opinion, Right now…

The first value you referenced, the volume poll interval, is basically just and up down status check and happens every 2 min by default. No other metrics are collected at that time. The statistics polls are every 15 min by default and this is where you would be getting things like the disk space used and disk sec /…

First of all confirm within the individual machines that your computers are currently logging successful user logons (this is not turned on by default in most Windows environments). The vast majority of times when people can't find a particular event in LEM I have them jump into the source directly to see if those events…

Unfortunately there isn't a resource for including web based reports in your view, you essentially have to use the custom table resource to create the same thing as was on the report. In many cases for things like this I just make a list of links to the report I already have to save myself from duplicating my work.

The problem you will run into is that if you don't have SAM your database won't contain any of the tables that Orion stores that information in. It would be possible to build your own integration database and link it to the Orion db and create custom tabs with all kinds of custom SQL resources, but you would basically be…

Sadly there is not a method in place for bulk editing the alerts like that, you are going to end up having to edit them 1 by 1 in the GUI. Going directly to the SQL would likely take so long to develop and have a relatively high risk of failing that unless you have somewhere over 100+ alerts to configure then you won't…

Assuming you haven't modified the views it does show it under the Node details, it is listed as part of the "Appstack Environment" resource. If you want to come at it from the other side and see a list of all the groups and their child objects you should go to the Home>Groups view and look for the "All Groups" resource and…
