Technically the node status will be in warning if it has any packet loss at all, I'd edit this to node status does not equal down instead.

Ok so the first thing is you need to disregard groups for the purposes of alerting. I've seen lots of people fall into this trap but for whatever reason Solarwinds does not allow you to tie alert logic directly to group memberships within the UI. You can do some round about stuff but ultimately that's not how the designers…

I think you have a misconception about the way objects are handled in Solarwinds, you don't create alerts and then assign groups to those alerts. Lets start by defining what exactly you want and knocking this out one piece at a time. In the first alert you show it seems that the main thrust of what you want is just to…

As an interim workaround, couldn't you install an eval of another compatible product like NPM/SAM that has the updated core and then uninstall it? I've not run into this scenario myself but I believe it might do the job to get your core up to a compatible version.

Did you see this kb? No User login information found in UDT - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

I don't have examples because I would strongly encourage any client I was working with to enable SNMP, if there are security concerns then use SNMPv3. With only using ICMP you are missing out on so much of what Solarwinds has to offer that I would not want to have to rig up work arounds for all the places it is going to be…

*edit* Not sure how this thread bubbled back up to the top of my browse so far after the fact. At the time it was written SCM wasn't around, but this answer is still valid from this summer forward... With the way SAM monitors are set up its pretty hard to recreate that effect, but its almost trivially easy to do it in SCM.…

Create a Universal Device Poller (UnDP) - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support What you need most likely is just to build some SNMP custom pollers for whatever info you want to poll from the Nokia devices. 

Oh yeah it won't do the case statement in the gui. You could make 2 reports separately and combine the data in excel or maybe someone will do the leg work for the query.

That is a default resource, just add it to the view. Once you add it you need to associate it with a specific UNDP poller and pick which columns you want, sometimes that can get pretty messy looking but it does the job.

I like where your head is going with this, but I think there are some problems with this as it is described. The Remote Sites group would not have a status of 0 unless all the members were unknown, you would need to fix the first query so that it shows when the member groups are down, which is status code 2. Also, that…

But on the plus side, netobjectid is effectively just as good as virtualmachineid for this use case. I feel like this kind of request to know what variables each page can output is becoming more and more common as the user base becomes more skilled in building custom SWQL resources. Might be a worthwhile effort to try and…

Nope, same as it ever was

Curious what errors you two are getting exactly, as I use an app property for alerting in client environments all the time and never have issues. The only sticking point is sometimes new custom properties don't start resolving until you restart the services on your orion server.

This was the work in progress sql select to try to determine what caused the critical condition, you would add this as a custom variable to the email body, and if i recall correctly there were some bugs around those sql statements in the sam 6.6(maybe?) release that were supposed to be fixed in the latest stuff. SELECT…

Unfortunately, at this time the UNDP tool does not work nicely with hex values. There is a feature request open for this

In contrast with what you are looking for I actually find most of my clients ask me to filter all the vdi stuff out of the main views and alerts. They don't care about the individual vdi, just the aggregate loads on the hosts and clusters.

might be fine to just change ,tostring(tolocal(n.UnManageFrom)) AS [From] to ,tolocal(n.UnManageFrom) AS [From]

I noticed that too, there are scenarios where previous unmanage events just sit in the DB forever, and other cases where they get deleted. The example GRTA posted has logic to avoid showing the stale ones, where suppressuntil > getdate()

Are you using it inside a custom query resource (i suspect not because custom query doesn't allow you to choose between swql/sql, its swql only)? Several others in this thread also had that issue if you read through.

The thing to keep in mind is that windows event id that LEM is looking for for disk space alerts is set up at the operating system level, the default being at 10% free space remaining. To change the threshold you have to edit the registry. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/112509 In order to limit your alert from LEM…

Word on the street is that atlas is being completely reworked, but it's still early with no eta. I hope they remember this request as part of the upcoming design.

I like this method too if you are only looking for http monitors inside of appinsight

Haha I came into this thread thinking "god I wish someone would write that report so I didn't have to do it myself" only to see one of my reports recommended. I have started on what I am hoping would be a much more complete version of that report but it's slow to validate all the cases and scenarios to build something good…

Current Muted Alerts (v5) [SAM & NPM]

Another frustration is less a views thing and more an aesthetic resource issue. Most chart resources burn up WAY too much screen real estate. Example of what I dont like, this thing is like 600 pixels high with a TON of white space. Who do I need to bribe to get a customizable version of the below resource where I can just…

See line 35 where I commented out an example of filtering against the alertconfiguration.name, so yours would be .name like 'intel p3 node down' or you could do like '%p3%' or however narrow/wide you need it.

I heard a few reports from people that when muting was first introduced it wasn't working for them 100% of the time. I never had that problem so I can't confirm if there was a bug or something else at play. Are you running NPM 12.2 yet?

You are right about that part, they won't get encrypted, I'm no t aware of a way to get that done within NCM

This is an example of a script i use to manage pollers in bulk <#------------- CONNECT TO SWIS -------------#> # load the snappin if it's not already loaded (step 1) if (!(Get-PSSnapin | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "SwisSnapin" })) { Add-PSSnapin "SwisSnapin" } #define target host and credentials $hostname = 'localhost'…
