This is a swql custom query I use for situations like this. --report on alerts triggered select ac.Name ,ah.Message ,'/Orion/NetPerfMon/ActiveAlertDetails.aspx?NetObject=AAT:'+ToString(AlertObjectID) as [_linkfor_Name] ,EntityCaption as [Trigger Object] ,EntityDetailsUrl as [_linkfor_Trigger Object] ,case WHEN…

I kind of suspect that [m is the beginning of a [more...] type of prompt. Do you have the correct command for paging disabling on your device template? I don't know the microtik cli but in cisco the command I'd be looking for is paging length 0.

Just to update, Joel and I noticed that we could get the desired change by pointing the update to ipam.subnets.

NTA data comes from a networking protocol commonly known as Netflow, which was made by Cisco, or the more generic IETF version of the protocol is called IPFIX. What kind of information is made available is determined by the hardware vendor you are dealing with. Since in almost all cases the hardware vendor this data comes…

You can download all the community pollers from here Content Exchange

I think the point is to prevent spambots from submitting fake content to the exchange, but obviously there is something glitchy in the validation being used.

Also, this is the documentation for all the things you can do in IPAM via the API. Basically anything you would be able to do in the GUI can be done by script. IPAM 4.7 API · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub

I have to say my work is obviously biased, but I have in the past been tasked with several "head to head" bake-offs between Orion and other tools, and to date have always been the victor (but it could be related to the fact that our sales team only pulls me away from my other engineering work where they feel like there is…

To your last point about how do I get to map x, it made me think when I get back to my computer and have some time this week I think I'll write a swql query that you can search and it will display all maps containing the specific node. I've given the team this feedback already, but the way the maps data sits in the…

So i know historically SW documentation would claim that APE's needed the same resources as the MPE. This was obviously bollocks because logic like you described and real world experience proved otherwise, yet it still persisted in the documentation. I haven't looked through all the latest product documentation to confirm…

I wanted to suggest this as a likely reason, but I wasn't sure and haven't had an environment with F5's to test/confirm in a while.

It has been done in custom SQL/SWQL queries. Basically you need to determine the size of your window (lets say an hour), what growth percent would you consider "alarming" (lets say 10% over that hour) and then write a query to find the value from an hour ago, divide that by the current value, and if the result is greater…

I think you are using the terms a bit loosely here, the meraki API is actually only a tiny a sliver of the information you see in their web portal. I've crawled their documentation a dozen times to see if it has improved over the years and it does not expose any of the historical performance metrics that you see in their…

You can go to edit the node and change the view to a regular node details if you want on a node by node basis, or you can just globally change the view from the views by device type screen.

But getting a step more meta, sending email based alerts on 3 different thresholds is asking for alert fatigue where the users just start ignoring all your messages. I only send emails on critical threshold violations, everything else can be seen in the GUI or in a report. I try to train people that if Orion is sending me…

Since he looked at the OIDs topology uses and said his device doesn't support them then you are really not even going to get anywhere with support. Your device is not compatible with the model they used to determine the relationships so the feature will not work as is. Your best bet is to set up a feature request and try…

In a few cases since the newer releases I have come across clients who just edited the swnetperfmon.db file settings to allow a higher number of connections in the pool, so far that seemed to help them with no ill effects that we could picked up during stress testing or over the least few months.

Unless you are using them in the Node Details view, but they just don't load for certain nodes, in which case I suspect you have an application error and might need to open a ticket.

In terms of automation, i suspect you might be able to get away with something like a AutoIT/AutoHotKey job to periodically update them in the GUI, or if you have WPM I've rigged things up in the past for it to perform web based GUI driven work for me before. You could edit the contents of the password that you need to…

If you add the multiple object chart to the group details page and check the box for "automatically display nodes related to the current view" then it would work automatically and would be applied to all group details pages at once. If you check the box to auto hide then it will only show up for groups that have that…

It looks like you just need to turn on the logging for windows firewall and then cook up some kind of script to parse the log files. Absolutely within the capabilities of SAM, but requires someone to build that script.…

Based on this thread i found in the CP forums it seems that there is not a supported way to list all your rules from a command line, so NCM will not be able to access/record them. View firewall rules on the CLI

These are the metrics collected for every service or process you monitor and on the component details page it charts each of those metrics like below: You can also use a custom chart resource or multiple object resource, or use the new perfstack feature to build a view and stack all the services from a single server onto…

I can tell I spend too much time in the database because looking at that grid all I can think is that i would made that thing programmatically as a pair of sql queries/dashboard so I don't have to update it by hand.

I like that a lot, reminds me of the ones I built years ago when I worked for some other Vegas casinos. Full drill down from overall, into property maps, into closets/datacenters, into racks. I always wished I had some screenshots of it after I left.

Agreed, I've done the latest set of upgrades on several clients and none had DB issues afterward so I would not be considering this to be a common situation. Most likely need to roll back you environment and perform the upgrade again.

For your second question, You could modify the sql to display that way, but its a bit of a chore, I tried winging it but it wasn't working out (mostly because im at home not connected to an actual sql server to test against). This is another example of the SQL date converting syntax that you could use as a reference point…

This should help with hunting down cases where that box is checked SELECT TOP 1000 AlertID, AlertMessage, AlertRefID, Name, Description, ObjectType, Enabled, Frequency, Trigger, Reset, Severity, NotifyEnabled, NotificationSettings, LastEdit, CreatedBy, Category, Canned FROM Orion.AlertConfigurations where trigger like…
