And if you are getting really buried on this you can just make a custom HTML resource that has something like <a href="${custompropertyname}">Click here to go to ${custompropertyname} </a>

The nta stats aren't stored in the same sql db as the other stuff. If you are running a version older than 4.4 it's stored in a proprietary database called the fastbit db, if you are running 4.4 then it's stored in a separate sql db. In either case your best bet is to use swql studio to poke around since the information…

In SWQL studio the table you would want to start from for any UnDP custom pollers is Orion.NPM.CustomPollers, and there are several related tables you will end up joining to to display the stats. In regular SQL the name is similar to that, I think it was just CustomPollers. If you aren't familiar with setting up custom…

As an indirect kind of work-around I run a powershell script to delete interfaces though the API, that way I can filter on any kind of criteria I can dream up using a swql query, just tweak the $query bit to be something along the lines of where i.caption like '%controlled%' If you need more examples to help you work with…

The second drop down should be Node, what i did was join the Node tables to the custom poller tables so you could perform an action on the node level based on a condition found at the custom poller -Marc Netterfield Loop1 Systems: SolarWinds Training and Professional Services * LinkedIN: Loop1 Systems * Facebook: Loop1…

To be clear, in this scenario City is not currently a property of any address, it is the name of a group that someone went in and stuck all those subnets under. Since you can layer as many groups as you want in the tree tdanner​'s query is assuming that all the subnets are 2 layers from their city. If that is not…

Two ways you might approach this, in the GUI you can go to manage nodes, group by polling engine, select all the nodes on any given poller and set your property to match, or you can do it in SQL (you could do the API too but this is such a simple change I would just go straight to the db manager). I'm not in my lab right…

Here are two examples for hooking into MS Teams and Slack, I expect most api's with web services would have roughly similar payloads Microsoft Teams Integration with Orion Alerts Alerting using #Slack

Keep an eye out for the line near the end for the custom property filter and n.customproperties.[yourproperty]='yourcommenthere'

Have you looked at the NTA events? With that many packets and unknown interfaces I imagine your environment is cranking out TONS of unknown interface and devices messages. Go to http(s)://yourserver /Orion/TrafficAnalysis/UnknownTrafficEvents.aspx and it will list out all the unknown sources of packets

If anything I think it may not have existed in 12.1? I dug around and the earliest mention of them in NPM was 12.3 right?

The thing about DPA is if you don't even have a DBA on staff then presumably there is nobody around who knows anything about the inner workings of the database to do the tuning cycles. So from a server admin perspective there is very little to "fix". No DBA, or at least a pseudo-DBA, means you probably aren't running…

Piggybacking on this, SOME juniper hardware you need to monitor the physical port for things like bandwidth etc, but then there are a couple model lines where you have to monitor the logic ports instead. It's been about a year since I was working with a client who had that issue but it was super confusing for us until we…

Yeah, nnettrouer​ is saying they are sending from a windows machine with the probe on it toward a cisco router, not originating the probes from the router. Cisco has a built in capability called IPSLA that does a roughly similar thing to netpath, and you can monitor some IPSLA functions using just a custom UNDP in NPM, but…

And 47 is a stack switch I'm assuming? It looks like only a single cpu index is showing up there, which would indicate to me that the separated values are being written to another DB table away from "normal" nodes, now the trick would be to find which table that is. Next time I'm working with a client that has stack…

Yeah, it won't be able to run in SWQL studio unless you replace the ${id} variable with a real group id from your environment. Inside the GUI it will pull the ID from whatever group you happen to be looking at.

The code segment I posted isn't able to grab anything because it is intended to be typed into the power shell command line on its own, just to spot check that nothing weird is happening when you try to execute the commands specific to displaying the log output, I'm not suggesting that as a replacement for the example…

In the past I have taken custom images and added them to my Orion server inside the inetpub folder where the other images are already stored and then used custom HTML links to display those, if you want to use a different image for each category of server you could use a custom property to define which images loaded for…

I suspect that if you got a "not valid" you were trying to load the code into a place where it wouldnt accept it. It would only work in a "Custom Query" resource as that is the oly place where you can use the _iconfor and _linkfor syntax

What can I say, I wrestle this Orion beast every day. It's laid bare all it's weaknesses to me and now I exploit them for fun and prizes

Yeah, these are basically all just experiments in licensing models. They all come with unlimited APE's and HA in the bundle as well. There was also a short lived NOM (network operations manager) with a few less products included. Also ACM which was a bundle pointed more at sysadmin types with SAM and WPM tacked on.…

The process would still be the same as you see here, except you just have to know how to find them in the web console. Add a new type of config to back up - Enable a new config type in NCM Edit your template to have the commands to pull your new "config" - Edit an NCM device template Set up a job to collect the new type of…

yaquaholic hit all the main points pretty well. Like you indicated it is hard to trim back the appinsight if the users actually want the data, everything in there *could* be recreated using SQL user experiences but it would be a painful manual process which was the whole use case for appinsight in the first place to use…

One caution to using that SNMP counter is the number rolls over after enough time passes, I believe its just a bit short of 2 years, so systems up longer than that will show as having rebooted. Servers rarely stay up that long uninterrupted but network devices and appliances are more likely to do so.

Sounds like you weren't on the correct page to set a custom reset condition if you had those variables available to you. It would look like this SELECT Nodes.Uri, Nodes.DisplayName FROM Orion.Nodes AS Nodes join orion.alertactiveobjects ao on ao.relatednodeuri = nodes.uri where cpuload < 90 and ao.alertactive.acknowledged…

If you are strong in javascript then you can just make ajax calls to the solarwinds API and then display it however you like. This is one good example of feeding a javascript resource with SWQL data from @"wluther" who has done more of this than anyone I have talked to.…

You got it

Is there an example of the data you are working with? I have a few data sets that are messy to work in custom properties that I just added as an extra table, but that means you have to use SQL to do anything with them. In my case this is stuff doesn't tend to change and where it does I set up automations to populate it for…

SolarWinds has no built in method of collecting data from Android or IOS devices, and they normally do not support any of the protocols that it uses so it's really not a viable tool for that use case unless you code something really custom up.

I don't know off hand if hbas show up in net snmp. If they don't naively then you can modify your snmp to use custom oids to execute shell scripts that would collect the info you want or you can use sam custom script monitors.
