  • VolumeType = 'Fixed Disk' Try that in your custom SQL alert. or Volumes.Caption NOT LIKE '%Memory'
  • These credentials would be the same you use to access the Orion website.
  • Definitely odd. I haven't seen or experienced that behavior. For me it stays until I either close the session or log out. What browser are you using?
  • You wouldn't do a custom SQL alert, you'd do a custom SQL report. You'd need to open the Report Writer and create the report there. Not an alert.
  • It's can either be the APM Application or Component alert. However, to first create the monitor, you need to get into the website and configure the monitor from the SAM Settings. From there go into Manage Templates and search for Windows Events. This should allow you to find the template and start getting it configured for…
  • What protocol is being used to monitor that app? WMI? PowerShell? Have you run a wbemtest from the new polling server to the target to ensure it has the same allowed communication the primary server has? Have you verified the credentials you are using for monitoring can access the new polling server?
  • Do you not have the name that can be set? Now you would have to set this on each of the left tab's you've setup I believe.
  • So what you would want it Trigger alert when NOT ALL of the following apply Vendor is equal to Windows Contact is equal to DG_ITNetwork Contact is equal to DG_ITSystems Or you would want Trigger when ANY of the following apply Vendor is not equal to Windows Contact is not equal to DG_ITNetwork Contact is not equal to…
  • There's no way to limit that specific resource, however, you could create a report in report writer for that specific poller. In the select fields of that report, you'd have poller name, poller status, and in the filter results, you would filter by the name of the specific poller. Once the report is created, you could…
  • Ziba, Using the ${AcknowledgeURL} variable will cause a message that would include something as follows: Once you click on the link, you'll be directed to the Alerts.aspx portion of the website, which in the case of a smartphone will pull up the mobile view, and you can then acknowledge the alert. You can test the alert,…
  • NTA will give you the bandwidth between the servers as long as you search the conversations based on flow data coming through the device they talk through (if it has Flow support). Otherwise, you can do a bit with the QoE packet analysis from NPM by sticking an agent on the database server (provided only the app server is…
  • The first thing I start with years ago was creating basic reports in the Orion Report Writer, then using the Report menu option and Show SQL to see the SQL query used behind the scenes. Between that and using w3schools for SQL tutorials I started developing a better understanding of using SQL. From there I'd then move to…
  • It may be possible, I use NCM though for things of this nature though, especially since Toolset is limited to Cisco devices. I'd recommend seeing if you have a test switch you an use prior to doing this on a production switch.
  • You can decipher it using WireShark. You can go into the settings and into the SNMP area and enter the user, authentication, privacy, and the passwords to see the packets. As far as what MIB to unlock, I'd recommend mib-2. It opens things up a bit, but will make sure Orion can see the RFC MIBs it needs. There shouldn't be…
  • I don't think you can do that with either of the AppInsight templates by design. From what I've seen attempts to copy or rename cause major DB issues. Unfortunately you may be stuck with having to edit each assignment individually.
  • That just isn't something pulled in a report since that's all based on inventory and node detail information. You may want to feature request it. I'd vote it up.
  • There are already utilization percentages being done by SolarWinds that you should be able to use in your report. Just use InPercentUtil and OutPercentUtil.
  • Done. http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/3566
  • It wouldn't appear to be due to polling rate.......I'd look in the \ProgramData\SolarWinds\logs\Orion directory at the business layer logs to see if you are getting errors. I'd also recommend opening a support case.
  • I wonder if the DBA has added any restrictions to the SQL user that NPM is using. You may want to check to make sure that the account is the dbo and it has the right to create columns when needed.
  • Odd that you'd be getting an error when dealing with filling in Custom Property values, especially since those are free fill fields, unless that's when you are hitting submit. Might be an issue with either the module engine or information service.
  • Try Value. That may be a better option.
  • Patriot, CPU and memory should be RFC standards that the device reports by default. If the device doesn't use the RFC standard, then all SolarWinds can tell you is to use the Universal Poller and the snmpwalk tool in the Orion install directory (if you are on 10.3 or later) to find the OIDs you want to report on. I would…
  • Then I would start with just CPU, Memory, and Traffic and keep an eye on them to see if anything starts becoming an issue when the machine is added back.
  • For situations like that, you are probably not going to be able to find out anything with NPM. UDT might be more of a benefit to you at that point, but in this given scenario, not even NPM would be able to detect that, so the event would go missed in terms of polling. However, if you could setup syslog to send a log when…
  • I can't honestly remember off the top of my head but in regards to the cross country pollers, I think it was between 250 and 350, but I'm working from memory on that one.
  • Did they put a quota to amount of questions that can be asked in a day suddenly? Have you tried clearing the browser cache as well? (you probably did, but have to ask anyway).
  • Found a work around. I noticed the date from the file on the main poller was over 2 years old. I checked the other HA server I have set up and found a newer file. I copied that over, and it allowed the installer to resume downloading the remaining files. Not sure why this happened, but someone else may find it useful
  • I can confirm. I just installed this on my dev deployment and I am seeing mount point metrics again for capacity
  • Other that work arounds, not that I've heard of. The workaround I've had to do for each of our mounts is to create a WMI monitor of Capacity using: Select Capacity From Win32_Volume WHERE Caption = 'Drive:\\path\\' Freespace using: SELECT FreeSpace FROM Win32_Volume WHERE Caption = 'Drive:\\path\\' and percent free space…
