Here's a job that I use on a scheduled basis that does the trick.

Off the top of my head, if you are using syslog messages, you could pull a report from those specific syslog messages over a given timeframe from report writer. It would have all the information you are looking for, however, in regards to users, that would be part of the overall syslog message, so I'm not sure that there's…

Do you have any SNMP OID pollers in SAM that could be the culprit? Anyone out there playing with an eval/demo or a Toolset? Regards, Matthew Harvey

Gary, I would recommend using the below thread. As long as you provide the following, we can add this to a list of devices to be added. This may then show up in a future release of Orion. What is needed": SysObjectID which you can find in Node Details in System Manager Vendor Model

Normally these would be local or domain credentials that are admins on that server. I would recommend using a mixture of SNMP and WMI. SNMP for the NPM monitoring and WMI for monitoring services on the servers that you don't get via SNMP. SNMP can only go as far as processes and OIDs, but not the full service, that's what…

More than likely there is something causing the business layer or Orion Module Engine service to time out and fail to process the request. If this is after the services were restarted, the issue will correct itself after a few minutes as there is a large amount of data going through this service. If this is not after…

Testing the alert is not going to give you exactly the information you'd expect when the alert has to go over multiple tables in the database. One thing to not, testing isn't actually testing the alert to make sure it will interact with the correct devices. The testing functionality does two things (1) can the action be…

michiganlaz, I would recommend changing the type of property to monitor to Node, not Custom Node Poller since this is an alert on node status and not a custom poller value. Also, do you have anything in the email action, editing it, under the Alert Escalation tab to repeat the email? Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1Systems…

Created an existence check. It's a but simplistic, but thought I would share as I look further into this or see what anyone else has used. Directory Existence.apm-template

There is a windows poweshell script monitor called process count monitor. This may suit your needs. You'd just need to edit the script and change the process from the default lsass to sqlserver. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com

Was this specific router added more recently? If you look at the router in Orion on it's own, do you have data for the same timeframe as the report is looking for? Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com

I've never come across a quick resource. You can click on each status on the Hardware Health OverView and get a list of the nodes that way. Another way can be to use the Report Writer to create the below query as a SQL report: select Nodes.Caption as Node From Nodes JOIN APM_HardwareHealthReportData on Nodes.NodeID =…

I've installed the agent on a couple of servers remotely and no restart was required. I did find though, that I had to disable our AV temporarily in order to get the sensor deployment to succeed prior to being able to monitor anything on the server.

Are you using the web based reporting? If not, I'd start there, you should be able to set the timeframe you want within the report as you select the fields you wish to have in said report.

You need to encapsulate what you are trying to capture. If you want anything but the two values, you'd actually want an AND not an OR. (Comments NOT LIKE 'AMI_Metro') AND (Comments NOT LIKE 'AMI_Macro') should get you what you are looking for. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com

You can update them en masse using Manage nodes. Change the filter to polling method, then select the SNMP Nodes by hitting select all (then the message about selecting all nodes) then hit Edit Properties. From there put a check in Polling Method and add in your RW string and submit.

There's no way to set the color change on an icon to follow set parameters. While interface links will change based on utilization, other map objects are coded for status, not thresholds. This would be a great feature add to the Network Atlas Maps to be able to setup parameters for color change based on either status or…

they would have to have an IP address and respond to SNMP

Are you referring to network devices such as switches and routers? If so yes. As long as the device responds to a ping via it's IP, and has SNMP capabilities, SolarWinds should be able to talk to it. Again, though, it's going to depend on what type of endpoint you are looking at discovering. Thank you, Matthew Harvey…

While it's not possible to add MIBs directly into SolarWinds yourself. You can submit a case with SolarWinds support, send them the MIB files and request they be added to the MIB database. This is usually updated every 2 weeks I believe. While the addition of the MIBs doesn't mean SolarWinds will begin polling for that…

Robert, There isn't a set variable that will grab that information. However, using the Insert Variable, you can build a SQL statement to grab this information. Try using this: ${SQL:Select ServerName From Engines Where EngineID = ${EngineID}}

What are the results if you bring a command prompt up on the NPM server monitoring those nodes and ping the nodes? Status of nodes is determined by ICMP. If the pings aren't going through, there may be an issue. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com

If you can enabled SNMP, you can monitor the ports within Orion NPM and setup bandwidth alerts to that if the percent utilization falls below a certain percent you are alerted. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop1 Systems

This is a pre-requisite to the software installing. Did you check the Programs to see if this was installed on the server? If not, you'd need to download and install. This helps SolarWinds talk to the SQL server I believe.

Do you have an enabled job to purge older configs? If so, and the config marked as baseline falls into the range that has been setup for the job, then this would be why the baseline is being discarded. You'd either have to disable this job, potentially causing more extra data to be saved in the database, or extend out the…

You'd need to summarize the report, then group by month. This should then show you the volumes by month to give you that trend.

While there are auditing events, and there are some listed as alert added, changed, in the current versions of SolarWinds, those don't work. These look to be an item that will be used in the upcoming 11.5 release. 

If you manually draw the link, you can go into the properties and assign the port. From there, if you add two labels to the link and change one to ${OutPercentUtil} and the other to ${InPercentUtil}, if you are monitoring the port with SNMP, then these labels will translate on the website to the captured utilization of…

Easiest way is to grab a report from the report writer, then in the menu go to Report, Show SQL. This will show you the SQL behind the report that your architect can then use to query the database directly.

It really depends on the version of ESXi. If SNMP is not enabled, then no. Unfortunately the Toolset NPM only uses SNMP and VMWare has been moving away from SNMP data gathering for some time now. Regards, Matthew Harvey
