Andrew, Unfortunately the SolarWinds products are not setup to use AD accounts for SQL connection. You will need to use a SQL username and password. This is by design at the moment. Even using mixed mode authentication, you will still have to use SQL credentials. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1Systems…

Unfortunately no, the interface doesn't have the ability to do that. It's going to show you the devices, then it'll show you the alerts that trigger based off of what is seen on the Orion website. That's the extent of the Management packs functionality I'm afraid.

Can you repost the picture as an attachment, it's hard to make out and very blurry.

No, the ADO connection that's used is in the code. I don't know of a way to change it.

Also reading through this, there are ways to rename existing custom properties without importing and exporting. It takes a bit of SQL use, but it will work. I've used it several times. There's a stored procedure that will allow you to rename the custom properties called sp_rename. Say you have a property called Serial#…

Without APM actually reading the script, then the best way would having APM read the results of the output then as you initially were thinking.

It's to be able to have this filled out if you have a profile that can be used.

I don't believe the Windows firewall block ICMP traffic by default. This would be something that you have to specifically restrict on a network firewall or setup a custom rule to block. 

No, I had to just use the generics that Visio has.

How are you monitoring the server? What level of credentials did you provide to install?

Usually timeouts are similar to "OID not supported" where the device doesn't support those specific MIBs. There's another tool called snmpwalk.exe that will walk the device and give you a list of support OIDs. It's similar to the MIB Walk tool in the Engineer's Toolset just without descriptions of what those OIDs are.

It's actually easier to report on servers that have the template assigned. I might be able to put something together, but it's most likely going to be a SQL query. How familiar are you with running SQL commands against the database?

What are the settings you have in that job? If you Device Connectivity method in the NCM settings, what options do you have enabled? What's set up under Security?

yeah I don't think they've moved everything to the new services quite yet.

Not really unless you go template by template. However, you can check the Credentials Library in the SAM Settings as well as in the main Orion Settings to see if the account is listed there.

Correct. With settings like that, all data would be removed except any that is 24 hours old or newer. Then after maintenance runs, you set those settings back. With that data being gone, just remember, your charts and reports will have no history beyond 24 hours.

Importing is still an option, it's just done through Manage Custom Properties on the website after you choose the property you want to export. 

I know they're on build 608.0 and version 11.4.1 while the two that I have that do work are on build 817 and version 10.2.4. I don't have direct access to the F5s so all the information I can get from them is from Orion at the moment.

This may help http://www.solarwinds.com/netperfmon/solarwinds/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm#context=SolarWinds&file=samagmonit…

The Script monitoring in SAM is specifically looking for a statistical value so trying to use that for the purposes of inventory isn't going to really work out. I'd recommend getting the data and using Custom Properties for any value you don't seen from Hardware Health and Asset Inventory and manually populating the data.

It would be in the APM_ComponentTemplateSetting table. Depending on the componentID you can find all if them with: Select * from APM_ComponentTemplateSetting where [Key} = 'ScriptArguments'

Are you using the Orion Database Manager or SQL Management Studio?

Unfortunately no, they'll have to provide the version for you in order to apply the correct license.

You may want to open a case with SolarWinds support. They can look at the query created by the alert in the AlertDefinitions table, then look at the APM_AlertsandReportsData view in the database to see what information is able to be pulled, and what corrections need to be made to the alert. Regards Matthew Harvey

There is a SolarWinds event log you could check for errors to see why the alerting engine won't start. The application event log would be another. I'd recommend running a repair on the NPM and core installs on the system. What OS are you running this on?

What certificate did you use? Did you create a self-signed certificate, or did you have one already setup from a third party for this server?

patriot The "has changed" type is bound to the Last Boot and IOS alert types by design. It's going to show up in more alerts than that, but is not functional for these. I know this due to having seen the back end SQL in the Trigger Query created by these alerts when I worked at SolarWinds and out in the field deploying the…

Glad to be of assistance.

They are only in the SQL database tables, but not all tables will be able to be used for variables. This is why we have the SQL function at the bottom of the insert variable option. This allows to custom variables, so to speak, by being able to write your own SQL query.

Karen, You should have that report in your Reports tab as well. Look under NPM Reports then in Historical Traffic Reports. You could run the Total Bytes Transferred by Node - Last 7 Days report which would give you a break down by node and show all interfaces within each node. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems…
