Just add your p.customproperties.ad_domain to the select section, and then to the order by before the timestamp

The problem is that short of having an admin account the exact permission vary depending on which products you are using and which features you want to use. For the most basic server monitoring then just being a member of dcom readers and the ability to hit wmi works, but depending on what exactly you need I n addition to…

The site would only have stayed in warning if at least one node at the site was up, can you confirm that everything showed as being down in Orion?

Are you putting this into the custom query resource on your view? Maybe alert history has too many rows in your environment and it is timing out? Try doing top 10 and see how that goes

I'm familiar, and in a programatic sense it makes sense, but when someone who doesn't live in the Orion db sees the list they generally assume that the node details page for an f5 would show alerts for that node and it's children. I have to explain that widget to people all the time and it is not intuitive to most new…

^ agreed, I would absolutely love to be able to delete all of the OOTB alerts and reports.

Create the template as per the normal process in SAM. Make sure all the netapp servers are added to SAM. Assign the template to all the netapp nodes. If you arent familiar with those processes then you will probably want to check the getting started guides, New to Server & Application Monitor (SAM) , and videos for SAM,…

I would encourage anyone doing one way reporting from orion to another tool to do it this way as well. Less overhead if you just hit the SQL directly instead of forcing the info service to process your requests in swql then translate them to SQL. On the other hand, if you are pushing data back into orion you are best…

If you are doing discovery in the gui no, but using the api yes.

Post your query and I can tell you what its doing wrong. If you just want a report of the top x tx/rx utilization rates for a given interface it would be something like select top 5 i.fullname, it.datetime, it.InPercentUtil, it.OutPercentUtil from orion.npm.interfaces i join orion.npm.interfacetraffic it on…

Hardware health monitoring data all comes from the vcenter itself. Vcenter gets it from the host via CIM protocol but you shouldn't need to do anything extra from the Orion side. As long as Orion can tell the host is a child of whatever vcenter it will display the data. As far as documentation the best I can find is this…

Instead of using the built in resource you use a resource called "Custom Query"

Just changing what Solarwinds thinks the max bandwidth is. I can't think of any changes in NPM that get pushed back to the device. Some other modules do use snmp rw to make changes but nothing that I can recall in NPM would.

Using the report writer tool on the server you can only produce tables, but if you recreate this as a web report using sql it can be made into a chart. I might have a web based version of this kind of report in my files more or less ready to go so I'll update this post in a few hours after I get a chance to look for it.…

Install the Solarwinds SDK and it will give you a tool called SWQL Studio where you can test queries much faster than building an alert and hoping to see if it fails or not. Releases · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub

I would have the make a custom account and query the data I needed directly from their system for reporting and such using the API and some powershell scripts, but thats because I'm pretty strong in PoSH and the API. There may be other methods that could work to give you some visibility into their system.

This query was written in SWQL, that error makes me think the box you entered it into is looking for regular SQL. Are you using the custom query resource or something else?

When Linux admins complain about the way net-snmp present memory I just use this, Linux Memory Monitoring Perl​, SAM script monitor then we can just disable snmp based cpu/mem polling. That fight has been going on for yearrrrrs and is present across every snmp based monitoring platform. A quick calculation from net-snmp…

So looking at the message you have the correct variable, and it works fine for me in my lab. On the alert are you setting the object of the alert to be a component or something else?

I'd seen the same behavior before at two different client sites as well, large number of sensors and they would enable themselves again after being disabled, didn't matter if you were using the GUI or API. I ended up having the client open a ticket but I wasn't on site any more when (if?) they resolved it. Wish I could…

Oh my mistake, didn't notice that this was posted in the kiwi section, I'll have to admit I'm not sure about that as I rarely work with cat tools.

Yeah, the table about the polling engines includes a lot of metrics but no single up/down status indicator. From my experience the only time I see the indicator on the polling engines page turn red is when minutessincekeepalive gets too high, i want to say 2 minutes is the threshold.

I think the point that was being made was that if you already have it set up to the point where you are getting the CPU data then all you need to do to get interface data is to figure out the correct query for interfaces. For interface data most of what you want would probably be under orion.npm.interfaces and…

Sound like your call is falling into those edge cases where the APE doesn't have the same stuff as the core server. You can validate what verbs do and don't exist by launching swql studio and connection to the APE and seeing if what you need shows up but if it's not there then that might not be a usable work around in this…

Letting an APE sit idle for just api calls can be an expensive proposition, depending on your licensing, if you don't have one if the licenses that allows for unlimited APEs. I've known many orgs who prefer not to load their main poller if they can avoid it, with 9 apes it's probably not hard for you to shuffle devices…

Just to be clear, since this is in the DPA forum it is worth clarifying, are you using Server and Application Monitor (SAM) or Database Performance Analyzer (DPA)? The admin guide for DPA discourages you from keeping the DPA database inside an instance you want to monitor because it becomes kind of a recursive problem…

Ahhhh you are adding them to maps, ugh I do not envy that job. Atlas makes it incredibly tedious and the situation I described would be for just adding the nodes to NPM overall, for wireless mapping you do need to jump through some hoops to try and get them to show up. To be honest if your wireless solution has any built…

Maybe if the agent is part of an autodiscovery it doesn't check the filters or the ignore list? I have never ran an agent auto discovery where I didn't intend for it to just add everything.

I'd say the best way to get introduced to the compliance policy reports is this solarwinds lab video Amp Up Your Network Configuration and Compliance with SolarWinds NCM - SolarWinds Lab #34 - YouTube

vbscript is before my time, I only reliably know how to use powershell They have samples of code for several languages here OrionSDK/Samples at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub
