Yeah, it is lacking some functionality I've seen in other ticketing systems, but overall it's a fairly robust program. There's a lot that it does well. I think this will just make it that much better. Glad you posted the original thread.

I haven't seen anything more than just entering them into the Calendar. This would be a nice thing to have though. 

I've never had to try this. I just have a domain account that's part of a group that's in the local admin group of the server. Everything has installed fine.

What you're thinking of is a command snippet. If memory serves, the Config Upload would be used to upload the entire config with changes back to the device, not just the single line.

If you're able to bring SolarWinds down, I'd recommend repairing your SolarWinds install and running the configuration wizard. It would seem like something isn't doing the work it should be. As well, check the Polling Engine page in Settings, what load is your polling server under? What versions of are you running?

Mike, The errors and discards may not prove to be as helpful as you think. This are measurements of bad and/or dropped packets in the inbound and outbound traffic on the NIC. What signs was that PC having when there were issues? Was there high CPU? Bandwidth from the NIC? You'd need to establish that before deciding what…

The silence about SIP monitoring is deafening. For something that was a "high priority" in 2014 and a "highest priority" as of June of this year, it's disappointing to not hear anything. I realize that commitments to dates cannot be made, but after 3 plus years of waiting for this feature, it would at least be nice to know…

Interface Bandwidth can be customized where configured interface speed cannot, at least in terms of from within NPM. The Interface bandwidth values are what's used by NPM in order to determine percent utilization for both inbound and outbound traffic, where configured interface speed is what was discovered within the…

Chris, You're thinking of hubble. This can be turned on by altering the web,config file in the inetpub\SolarWinds directory, however, in the latest release, rather than doing that, you can run the LogAdjuster (Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Documentation and Support) and set Hubble to true or active and this…

What version did you upgrade from? If it was a pre-4.0 release, where did you specify the NTA Flow Storage database server? Did you run the installer on that server in order to install the flow storage database?

What server did you specify as the NTA DB server? Did you at any point install 4.0.2 or 4.0.3?

For the trigger condition, the X needs to be Status found under Custom Node Poller in the dropdown. To add the status into the alert action use ${CustomPollerStatus.Status} Regards, Matthew Harvey Senior Sales Engineer Loop 1 Systems

Yes, If you open the report and choose preview, you can then go to File > Export and Excel and CSV are options.

There's not really a way to get that association as the xml file that controls toolset tools looks to it's stored credentials and not the NPM SQL server. That is also why the ${Community} doesn't work. The only thing I would recommend is just make sure the strings are all in the list of saved credentials for the toolset.…

Is this an eval that you installed? For NTA, you should only install the database on a separate server, the software should be on the same server as NPM. They are bound license wise, so they have to reside on the same server.

The alerts in the reports, from what I can tell are looking at basic alerts, not advanced alerts, and as such will not pull data. You'd have to create a SQL query to look at the alertlog table to see the advanced alerts that have triggered. Either that or just add the All Active Alerts resource to the page. I had to do…

I think what you are looking for in the product are the custom charts that you can create. These would allow you to choose the data and devices you want to report on. Once the charts load, you should also be able to select or de-select those same devices on the chart. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop 1 Systems

I've looked at the same thing and unfortunately there seem to only be two options. The first is what Mike Driskell had to do with editing the nodes manually. The other options seems to be SQL update where you'd have to run Update Nodes Set DynamicIP = 1 Where ........ and add in the remainder of the where clause.

First you'd need to find the rows you want to replace within the ActionDefinitions table. This can be done by using this query: select Target from ActionDefinitions where ActionType = 'Email' Make note of the SMTPserver, then use that value in this statement to change it Update ActionDefinitions Set Target =…

Best practice for SolarWinds software, keep everything on the same rev. If you apply a hotfix to the main server, apply it to the pollers as well.

Thank you for opening a case online for this issue. I have responded to this case with a few questions to assist in the investigation of this. Regards.

With the graph not saying "No data to display" that would indicate that there are numbers being recorded, however; depending on what the response time is on a ping, the values may be getting rounded down to 0 showing what appears to be a blank chart. If you look at the data from the chart, what are the values? Regards,…

scottbeeson, the port requirements document is here: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/SolarWindsPortRequirements.pdf Just be careful when it comes to WMI if you are going to be using it. Regards, Matthew Harvey Loop 1 Systems

Unfortunately not in that version. In later versions, if the change is made through the web console, then it would be caught in the auditing events. However, if someone is using the Alert Manager and removing the alerts, there is no auditing for that GUI. You'd simply have to look at the server logs to see who had logged…

You'd need to change your label to the vmDisplayName rather than the Guest state. For the other columns in the database, you'd need to create tabular pollers for each column in the table. You could then use the tabular resource and select each poller, then just choose the label of vmDisplayName.

There isn't any logic that would perform this as an alert. Alerts only look at the current polled values, and not the historic information. This is something that would be better set as a trend report using report writer.

You can edit the interface through manage nodes by clicking the check box next to the interface and going to edit properties. From there you can put a check in the custom bandwidth and change the bandwidth to what you need.

If you are using WMI to gather statistics, yes, it requires it. If you are using it for UDT monitoring, then you just need access to read the Security Event Logs on the DC. 

There's probably going to be a bit more to that, you'd first need to find the table that this primary key is on. To do this, do a search on your server for the ConfigurationWizard.log and look for that error to see what table this is coming from. Once that is determined, you should be able to remove the key and reconfigure…

I have a bug open with SolarWinds for this with the latest release. The only workaround I've come up with is using a custom property call EmailContact and applying that value into that field, then using the custom property variable for the To: email.
