As a general rule I used to manually add nodes via their cluster ip, and also via their individual ip's and then I would use custom properties to make sure I could differentiate between those. The reason I monitored both ways was because certain SAM templates make more sense to monitor at the cluster, while others needed…

If your firewall exposes it's disks via normal snmp oids then solarwinds will get it automatically. If it uses custom oids you would have to create a undp to collect those oids, but yes you still can collect it. If it doesn't expose that info via snmp then you might be able to use an API poller to get it. If they don't…

It depends how much traffic the link actively carries, and how many distinct src and destinations are involved. Usually ends up around 1-2% of the used bandwidth.

You can get the disk space with the NPM module, its a default statistic to collect from most devices. IpMonitor is pretty uncommon for people to use, and it has nothing to do with the SDK that this section of the forum deals with.

You'd be looking to create a SAM template with a couple Windows Event Log Monitors in them, the docs for that are here documentation.solarwinds.com/.../sam-windows-event-log-monitor-sw3329.htm
-
You can add and monitor nodes by their dhcp hostname, doesn't have to be a static IP as long as the Orion server can resolve the name. Number of locations isn't really a problem, although having a bad network connection between the locations and the SW servers can be a nuisance. Regarding the phones, there is a module…

Solarwinds doesn't offer a service like that, but there are several vendors who do that. You can send a notification email or API call from Orion to trigger phone calls or other layers of notifications and escalations that are handled in those platforms. In the past I've used Mir3 Onsolve and Pagerduty for that kind of…

I'm pretty certain about this, I've worked in person with @"CourtesyIT" on these kinds of projects before. Here are some links going back years asking essentially asking and answering the same question you are. Latest instructions - Everything DISA STIGs for your Network - The Next Generation 8 year old instructions to…

Correct, SAM can only be installed on Windows, once you have it running on a Microsoft server it could be used to monitor OSX servers mostly using SSH scripts, but that's not really the target audience, less than 1% of businesses run OSX servers.
-
"The regular way" as you describe it is not really how solarwinds was designed to work. Yes technically the API supports adding entries to the node table directly, but its really a pain to get everything correct when you do it that way as you end up having to create entries on a bunch of other tables and hope you got…
-
Looks like you have a mistake in your understanding, Solarwinds can't just ingest a STIG XML file directly and automagically turn that into a set of checks and rules. The rules that @"CourtesyIT" makes were created by hand based on his expertise working in Fed environments and then he exported and uploaded the files that…

You can try this SWQL query SELECT TOP 1000 n.caption, olm.NodeID, olm.Status, olm.LicenseStatus FROM Orion.OLM.Nodes olm JOIN orion.Nodes n on n.nodeid=olm.nodeid

The way I always handled this was to set my alert up to trigger when the warning or critical threshold values have been reached. Then I adjust the warning and critical values as necessary. Small drives might need more cushion than big drives, or certain types of drives you just disable their threshold completely because…

If you don't give the SQL service account access to those tables then you won't collect data from them. You control that all on the SQL permissions side.

So looking at that script you posted you just need to do whatever powershell command on the server gets you the disk's Index, but poking at my laptop i can't quite tell what commands will give that.
-
So I looked at my lab and the volumeIndex and Index are always the same in my environment, but it doesn't look like you can get away with just hard coding it as 1. In my environment Index 1 for windows servers always appears to be RAM, 2 is Virtual Memory, and the C: drive is usually 3 or 4, but even in my small lab it was…

The work around I've used is to create the component as a "Windows Script Monitor" and in the section where it asks you what script engine to use you ca type in pwsh and it will work, assuming pwsh is installed on the polling engine. The big complication there is that those components dont have the option to do remote…
-
We've kind of burned through the things that came to me top of mine when troubleshooting script executions. From the screenshot you it makes me think that you are actually getting connected because all the processes are spinning up, are there maybe a lot of files in those directories and Orion is timing out the connection…
-
By chance do you know if this server is using the agent or do you poll it all via wmi?
-
Can you paste a screenshot of the script component config? Is it set to remote execution or local?
-
assuming all your parent entities are nodes (common but not always true) you could do something like SELECT d.Name, p.DisplayName as ParentName, p.StatusLED AS ParentStatus, c.DisplayName AS ChildName, c.StatusLED AS ChildStatus FROM Orion.Dependencies d JOIN System.ManagedEntity p ON p.Uri = d.ParentUri JOIN…

It's not just you, I've had this same problem before in many environments where my choices in the device views didn't stick permanently. My work around was just to make a sql job that sets all the values on the relevant table how I wanted them.
-
Whatever rules you have in the group dynamic filter, just make an alert that has the same exact conditions and it would apply to the same interfaces as the ones in the group. The alerts are just completely not aware of groups so there isnt an OOTB option to associate groups and alerts.

So to align your expectations, historically SW as a vendor has been extremely reluctant to create any features that involve manipulating data any more than they need to as it comes in. This would be a pretty fringe edge case so your thought to just manage the need yourself with a SQL script is probably the best solution.…
-
You can't use group membership as a criteria for alert conditions in Orion. You said you have a dynamic group set up, so you could give your alert condition the same set of criteria as your dynamic group rules and that would essentially have the same effect.

This doc talks about the sampling settings, https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/nta/content/nta-setting-the-sample-rate-manually-sw316.htm I couldnt find a place in the UI where it showed exactly what numbers the auto setting actually picked for a sample rate, so i did some math in the nta database to…

I don't have my hands on a live orion environment right now to see the exact commands, but from the swagger docs the orion.nodesettings table does allow crud operations so i expect that you would either need to update or create the HardwareHealth.PreferredCiscoMIB values that youve got in your query. I know I did something…

Depending on which modules you have installed you probably already have winpcap drivers installed on the Orion server, so if you want to perform capture on the host the path of least resistance is probably to install wireshark. Keep in mind that packet captures can be somewhat resource intensive and quickly fill disk…
