Even if you have a true remote poller, if you want the data in a central location, there is still going to be some communication that has to be done, and ports have to be open to support that communication, otherwise you'd just have stand alone instances that have to be dealt with separately. This, to me, negates the idea…

You may run into an issue with SolarWinds trying to confirm the information if the hardware itself changes fully but the IP stays the same. If you are replacing the hardware completely, I'd recommend either adding the device as a new device, or discovering it. The historical data that would possibly be tagged would for the…

The fastest way to do something like this would be a SQL query against the Volumes table. If the type is swap space then you'd run something like: Delete From Volumes where VolumeType = 'swap space' If you want to delete via a common name then you could use Delete From Volumes Where Caption LIKE '%/home%' Regards, Matthew…

Thanks for the information. I noticed that I completely lose disc that way, but it does clear things up. I'm going to play with it a bit and see if switching it back causes the issue to resurface. If so, I may have to make an exclusion for that drive or something in the alert. Thanks.

The quickest way would be to delete the interfaces you don't want to manage. Now, if you have a discovery scheduled to run, next time those ports are picked up, add them to the ignore list. This will prevent them from being re-added unless someone manually does a list resource on those devices. 

The link that is created, regardless of it being manual or through connect now is only setup to change based on the status of the connected objects in the link properties. It is not a relational link in any way other than you can specify in the link properties which ports make the connection. Then if one of those links…

Thanks for the information. This gives me what I need to get started.

shawn_b has a good suggestion. Also try to right-click the app and choose run as admin. Occassionally I have see that help.

If the ports aren't showing up under SNMPv2c and are under v1, then the Sonicwall isn't responding to the way SolarWinds does the requests under SNMPv2c. The biggest difference between the two in SolarWinds perspective is whether to use GetBulk requests or not. With the fact that v1 is working, then the device doesn't…

Chris, It would almost seem like the alert was made of custom properties that were deleted............Not trying to assume something bad here about what happened before you took over. You may have to rebuild this conditions.

Until you are able to move the database, if you are able to, since this is a VM you may want to see about adding more disc space if it is available.

Managing is the easy part. It's the problems that make it seem worse than it is. Did you run through the custom property steps I put earlier in the thread for the invalid trigger? Easy way to move the database is first, stop all SolarWinds services. Once done, use the Database Manager to make a backup of the database. If…

ah, that makes it fun . I'll have to think about if there's a way to replace one value out of many. Will have to test on my garbage DB. I'll let you know what I'm able to find out.

so for this, you would do similar to what we put, however with some exceptions. so you'd have Update ActionDefinitions Set Target = 'To:youremail@yourdomain.com CC: BCC: SMTPServer:yourSMTPserver SMTPPort:25 EnableSSL:False Format:HTML' Where ActionType = 'Email' But if there is information in the CC, then put that into…

You can still get the data back by running the policy reports. This is older data that may no longer be relevant. Rerunning the reports once the table is cleared will repopulate the data.

Are you trying just to delete the PolicyCacheResults? If you don't need this data (which I believe can be re-added by running policy reports) a truncate command may work, even with the space issue. It will wipe all the data from the table without the same amount of transactions as a delete. The command would be Truncate…

Glad to hear you are making progress. For the site specific ones, here's a thought. Go into the custom Property editor ( in Start >All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Grouping and Access Control) Create a new Node Property, choose the option to build a property from scratch and make SiteContact, keep it as a text value. Once…

For that you'd need to open the NCM Configuration Manager GUI and go through the Purge Configs job. You can actually automate this to purge anything older than 1 year. Regards, Matthew Harvey

What error are you getting?

What you would need to do is either use SQL Management Studio Express, or the Orion Database Manager (found on the Orion server in Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion >Advanced Features. You can then connect to the database, expand the database to see the tables, right click on any table, then choose Query table. Copy…

I would have to agree with dnerdahl that the only way to hide them would be to remove the option from the resource in the node details page. Otherwise, in Edit Nodes, and Custom Property Editor you'll see all properties on all nodes.

As phoneman7 mentions, do not run the configuration wizard with the install unless you plan to point it to a temporary database until you are ready to switch over. Both environments will not work well in the same database. Now, you can make a back up of the existing database, move it to another SQL server, or even restore…

Unfortunately no luck. I have a case open with support, but was getting told to repair things that didn't seem to be related to the issue. Figured I check for forums as well in case others had run across the same issue.

yeah I tried this, but I ran into issues with assigning it to other nodes to calculate those values. It kept trying to run against the assigned node as the SQL server rather than the Orion SQL server. I've been trying my hand at the ODBC user experience monitor, but can't seem to be able to pass variables in the Query to…

You are correct. If we see a change in the SysUpTime reported from the device, where either the counter has rolled over, or in some cases, moves backwards, then Orion will show the device as having been rebooted.

Not a problem. I just wanted to check and make sure I was seeing this due to 2005 and not something I didn't configure correctly with the user account.

Get-BrokberSession won't work locally on the VDA servers. I think I found a method in powershell using some regex and the quser command. Doing some testing currently with it.

The chart resource is ambiguous to the view it is on, I think here is where the overall problem lies. When you are editing the resource, it will allow you to search the entire database as at that point it's not looking at the node you are looking at in your view. While it's a tedious task to add them in, that is, from my…

Nothing yet, nor have I heard anything back from SW

You'd have to try to add the alert resource to the specific component details page. You could also try building a summary page for that application and set a view limitation to it.
