I'm actually surprised you are seeing the new drives. Typically SolarWinds will hang on to the new drive and just hold it's existing last polled value and not know to monitor the new drive until a list resources is done on the device. Then the new volume has to be selected. Once done, you'd then have two volumes of the…

What are the results if you go to the page directly that you are trying to reach. Can you reach the site from the SAM server?

You'd have to try to enable it via a discovery on those nodes. If it's not picked up, then you'd have to manually add what you need. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop 1 Systems

In terms of the Engineer's Toolset, the majority of the MIBs are RFC standards that are found in the mib-2 tree. Depending on the tool would determine which MIBs are used. If you are looking to create views, your best best would be for limiting view in Orion NPM via the website. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems…

If this is a custom property you have defined then you can try ${Node.Notes}. This would specify to grab the notes column from the nodes table associated with the device in question.

Unless the trigger is set to when a node comes back up, this shouldn't have sent out anything. Resets will only send on triggered alerts. If he had unmanaged them after they had already triggered the alert, then they could have hit the reset condition and sent the rest emails. Otherwise, this would not have been the case.…

Even with the new CPE you can still do this. Go into Settings > Manage Custom Properties. From there, sort by Object, Select the property and choose Assign Values. You can select all the volumes you want to modify and the value you want to assign then submit. You can also export the property, make the changes you want, and…

The only report you would be able to get would be a list of how devices are currently set in the database. Custom Propery information is not stored historically, so there is no way to report on if or when they have been altered. For the current report you would need to create a Current Status report with NodeName, NodeID…

Bremman, You would have to setup pollers on each MIB in the table. If the value you are looking for is a mapped value that returns on one of the MIBs then, yes you can alert if the MIB and the specific Row (which would be the index) matches a specific value.

NPM supports Windows AD authentication through the use of AD users and Groups created within the Orion website. As the website uses IIS, the Windows Authentication needs to be enabled for both IIS and the website. Once done you can add Windows AD users and Groups. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems

Have you tried going through the Start menu (Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Alerting, Mapping, Reporting), right-click on the Report Scheduler and used run as administrator?

If you have the engineer's toolset on our system, you can enabled browser integration on your account in Manage accounts, this will bring up tools on he Node details page that include a ping, which will ping the node in question. Otherwise, you'd have to customize the html of one of the resources to try to add a ping…

You can rediscover the interfaces, but if that doesn't work, the quickest way would be a direct SQL query into the database. One thing do to would be to create an interface custom property that could be a yes/no property called Properly_Set. Leave all the ones that are incorrect unchecked then you can do something like…

There shouldn't be an issue with using other apps on the server as long as the server can handle the load you are going to place on it. As far as SolarWinds products, just make sure you don't try to install the web server and polling engine on the same server. The installers will have issues and one will try and overwrite…

Take into account that this is one of the reasons that SolarWinds using next poll times and has staggered polling. Not EVERYTHING is getting polled at the same time, but many will be. However, with how the software works, and with the small size of the ICMP packets done for a node status check, while you may be doing 100+…

There's nothing pre-defined within the alert that would allow for this. However, you can use the unmanage scheduling utility on the server to set up a schedule in which the node becomes unmanaged during those times. Just note, that means that neither statistics will be collected or alerts will fire against the device(s)…

The NodeID is the end of the URL of Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=N:219 so the node ID would be 219. The only way I've used variables to call it is something like: Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=N:${NodeID} in order to call the specific site in an alert. Is this a report you are trying to filter…

Rather than removing the entire node, you should be able to go under node management, expand the node, select the volume you don't want, then select More Actions at the top and delete, which should remove the volume you no longer want to see.

Are you sure you are using WPM or are you referring to a HTTP monitor using SAM? WPM uses a recorder/playback feature that uses the version of IE that's running on the server at the player location. Regards, Matthew Harvey

One option you may want to try is a view limitation. Edit the actual view and pop in Vendor = 'Cisco' or Vendor = 'Windows'. You'd end up creating two views, but it should get you what you're looking for. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems

From what I can tell, I'd assume it's more than half have to be down if your group is set to show mixed results. The only option I can see is the show worst case when you edit the group under the Advanced Settings. There isn't a place to adjust how many devices have to be down. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems

I believe you also need to be running Server & Application Monitor as well to get Hardware Monitoring on your devices. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems

The issue is with the has changed condition. This condition is literally only their for IOS changes or node reboots. The code behind that condition is specifically coded for those two options. What you would probably have to do is create a SQL component in SAM that queries the events table for that event, and if found sets…

One option, while a bit time consuming, and I'm sure SolarWinds may have recommended, would be install NCM on the NPM server and use the NPM traps and syslog services for the RTCN with NCM since the NPM system is able to see the traps without issue. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop 1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com

These are performance counter measurements taken from the SQL server. Is this only on the model database, or does this show the same results for any of the databases on the instance? What rights to both SQL and the server does your user have?

There is currently not a way to update cases online. While the message from your case comes in from support@solarwinds.com, when you hit reply on the email, the senders address will change. This new address sends the update directly into the case. You can also call in if needed at 866-530-8040 to speak to our support team…

It's not a bug, it's based on the design of the dynamic query builder. Essentially, the query is saying select any application when its name is Lotus Domino AND Lotus Domino complete. The problem here is that one application can't have two names, causing no objects to be returned. What you can do, though is rather than…

Jeryn, Yes, if you go into Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Advanced Features and use the Unmanaged Scheduler Utility, you can setup a recurring schedule to unmanage and remanage those servers. This should keep them from firing those alerts off for you. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems…

Since the WMI and RPC calls rely on the full net service name or process name, I don't think it's possible to use variables within SAM for direct monitors. You might be able to if you were to put together a powershell script, but other than that, I'm not sure it's going to be something that can be done in SAM.

Have you tried just the plain Availability - Last Month Report? Could you attach the report you've been working with? Just find the name of the report file on the general tab, then grab it from the /Reports folder in the Orion install directory. There may be something due to select fields or filter results, but I'd need to…
