I want to say that if your server has the same name and IP you can probably just run the scalability installer on the new one and everything will just fall into place. The AWS are a LOT simpler than polling engines. The only thing that I can think of that might bite you is if the license store realizes it's not the same…

Yes, for every process you add to a SAM template you can define thresholds for CPU, Memory, Virtual Mem, and IO loads, i think these default to 80/90 % if you don't touch them but you can adjust them to whatever level is appropriate in your case. There are variables in the alert messages to allow you to pull those metrics…

I don't see why you couldnt just set up alert logic where interface name contains DMVPN tunnel interface and interface status is up and interface total bps < 150000 and interface total bps > 0

_linkfor_ and _iconfor are special functions built into the Custom Query widget, they ONLY work inside that widget and cannot be used anywhere else. After the second _ you put the name of whatever column you want to turn into a link, or an icon and on the backend it sees that and knows to convert whatever you fed it into…

Honestly the default vman and srm views usually satisfy most people's needs. I tend to create a few custom resources to replace some of the out of the box alerts that I prefer to disable (I don't need 900 emails about vms with old tools when I can just run that as a report and deal with them in bulk rather than 1 at a time)

If you unmanage a node it skews availability, because during the unmanaged time we do not poll and so the total number of intervals during the period becomes inconsistent. For example, over a 24 hour period: If the node never goes down outside maintenance, 100% If the node was down for 144 minutes, up the rest of the day,…

Solarwinds is notoriously tight lipped about release schedules and nobody who works for them will give you any kind of timelines for anything until the official announcements. May as well just get your expectations in line with the policy.

The templates you want to use pretty much depend on which software you run on your servers. Almost anything that is out there has a template in the content exchange, some are better than others but a BIG factor is how many licenses you have. If you have a limited number then you tend to need to be pretty ruthless in only…

you have to go to manage nodes, expand out that node, and check the boxes for the phantom child objects you want to delete.

The link you posted mentions that RDS is supported since 2nd quarter of 2018 The tricky part will be determining the correct size to pick, IPAM loads vary dramatically from one client to the next. For example if you have many subnets and actively scan them all at a frequent interval then there is a lot more activity…

SAM will allow you to monitor Linux metrics via SSH with scripts, netbios wouldnt give you anything especially useful from a monitoring perspective and isn't supported by solarwinds.

I had a suspicion they might be ordered by the SNMP OID used, but I just tested that and can confirm that it is indeed not alphabetical, nor is it based on OID. I also tried sorting by every column in the database and none of them seemed to match up to the order that I got on my combined table. Sorry I couldn't pin down…

Yep you got it, take the last run time, add whatever your frequency is to that, now you know when it will execute again

In order to do topN with sql/swql i usually join a subquery that just gets the list of topN objects sorted by whatever aggregation i want to sort by. So assuming you want top 10 apps by total traffic over that window it would be like this (didn't test it, may have typos or something) SELECT F.TimeStamp As Time, A.Name AS…

Perfstack doesn't include any time filtering capabilities right now, so thats out. You could use a custom chart but unless your company changed your retention settings you wouldn't have anything more granular than hourly data available beyond the detailed retention period, which defaults to 7 days and hourly averages only…

I have wrestled this pain many times. Unfortunately the account permissions in Orion are not that granular. It is an all or nothing situation where you either have permission to edit all nodes or none. What I have seen some companies do as a workaround is to leverage their admin accounts within the domain as the one that…

Try this query in a report or custom query resource SELECT ComputerName, we.component.application.Name as [Application], SourceName, tostring(tolocal(TimeGeneratedUtc)) as [Timestamp], Message FROM Orion.APM.WindowsEvent we WHERE computername like '%' and we.component.application.Name like '%' and Message like '%' As it…

Status codes are outlined here in the DB SELECT StatusId, StatusName, ShortDescription, RollupType, Ranking, UiOrder, Color, IconPostfix, ChildStatusMap, DefaultIconName, CategoryStatusMap, DisplayProperties FROM Orion.StatusInfo

Looks like the account the report is running under is failing to log in, double check what account that schedule runs under and make sure it still has access to the web console

When you query the controller in snmp it gives you a list of all the thin aps that it has. If the ap isn't checking in with the wlc it will register as down, although the default behavior in Orion is to just delete them when the WLC says they are gone unless you tweaked the setting to keep aps after the wlc stops listing…

If you want to be notified immediately on changes you should be using the RTCD feature instead of scheduling so many jobs. Configure real-time change detection in NCM

There is no built in way to send test messages from orion agents to the console. What kind of message are you trying to send? You can simulate/force alerts from the orion console if you want from the screen where you edit the alert actions. -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and Professional Services *…

Piggybacking onto curtisi​​'s comment here, if you are trying to think of this in the same way you would do alerts in Orion you will become very frustrated because it works on entirely different principles. LEM is event driven, so you can't set up behaviors like "alert me until this is acknowledged" because LEM doesn't…

Using a SQL variable in the alert message will always only give you the first cell of the results, it is intended to pull a single value not an entire table of data. I've seen people work around it with various tricks such as making a top 10 list by putting the variable in there 10 times and shifting each one by using…

I have found that in some environments where we upgraded from versions without that feature to the ones that had it I would have to edit the subnet and specify the engineid to use for polling. Since the value didn't exist or wasn't used in older versions it was NULL for all my subnets and jobs weren't running.

Not all handset models report MOS, are you getting MOS scores for any other calls on these handsets?

in SNMP bits per sec is an incrementing counter that gets polled every x minutes, and the difference between the last poll and the current is divided by the interval. So it is always an average across a period of time and short bursts don't show up. That's common to all SNMP based polling tools. You would also measure bps…

This may have some clues Tips for executing external scripts and batch files with alerts - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support I often find that it is some issue with the system account from the orion not being able to remote execute posh on the other hosts and having to set the orion services to run under a domain…

This is your best bet, most of the API work being done is using powershell though, so there are a ton more examples in that section of the github GitHub - solarwinds/orionsdk-python: Python client for interacting with the SolarWinds Orion API

This is the report I use for checking on my node credentials, set it up as a custom query. SELECT n.Caption AS [Node Name] ,n.detailsurl as [_linkfor_Node Name], '/Orion/images/StatusIcons/Small-' + n.StatusIcon AS [_IconFor_Node Name],n.ip_address as [IP Address],n.detailsurl as [_linkfor_IP Address],c.Name AS [WMI…
