  • Hey @kbates0430 , I just did some playing in the lab, these should get you started. 1) All UDT-monitored trunk ports (candidates to unmonitor) This uses Orion.UDT.Port.TrunkMode (1 = trunk, 2 = not trunk) and only looks at real Ethernet ports SELECT n.Caption AS [Node], p.Name AS [Port], p.PortDescription, p.Speed,…
  • As a workaround to this, HolyGuacamole‌ and I wrote a PowerShell script, that allows node monitoring using WMI but uses SNMP in a SAM template to monitor Dell Storage. Dell Servers - Disk Hardware Health via SNMP It does really on some 3rd party cmdlets called NetCmdlets, but these were quite inexpensive.
  • Sorry folks, missed this one, indeed a typo.
  • Sorry, missed this, fixed now
  • Worth noting, containers are also coming to Windows, in Server 2016. Windows Containers
  • Good idea matt b​. You can create feature requests Github, by logging an issue on Issues · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub
  • Hi Mike, the component ID in question will be an integer. The easist way to get it is to access the component details page in SAM, and it will be the integer after "AM:". For example, for this component (http://oriondemo.solarwinds.com/Orion/APM/MonitorDetails.aspx?NetObject=AM:878) the component ID is 878
  • Just on this, I looked in to this before, and it's not actually available via WMI (at least in 2012R2, when last I checked). In order to pull some of that info I needed to install the management agent on the server (think it was Dell hardware) to expose that info, which I then need to pull via a script to get something as…
  • I've seen people travel internationally to conferences with an iPad, laptop, kindle and a surface, but no travel chargers! Less is more when travelling, but if travelling internationally don't forget: * reading material (hard copy: not every airline allows electronics during take off/landing. Also useful if batteries die)…
  • The best laid plans @"stuartd" ... Let's me get it back on the to-do list, might need to wait until the new Thwack launches, but lets see if we can carve out some time. 
  • Haikus are easy But sometimes they make no sense Flow generator
  • While OPSEC should definitely be a concern, personally I am more than satisfied that the major cloud providers provide a more than creditable security solutions. Rather, the issues are more legal. Specifically most jurisdictions don't have the concept of "cloud", rather the focus is what type of information is stored in…
  • Hi josh.haberman​, good question! For one-off testing you can use a trial install on a test machine. Trial versions will work for 30 days, and are a good option for testing. For something more permanent, the best option would be to contact your account manager, and they can cover the options for licenses for small test…
  • Thanks to edbarbieri​ and yourself for popping over, not the easiest trip!
  • Hey @"joshuamichaelsanders", the logic does indeed look correct. Are you able to test other reset actions as part of the alert? I would also suggest using the log adjuster to set the logging level to debug, you should see log data in C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\Logs\Orion\Alerting.Service.V2.log
  • Hey @"Krezi". Yes, in this scenario an APE is the way to go. It is an additional license for each one. But you can actually test it for 30 days. When you run the installer from the main server it copies over the necessary bits. The same DB and web console are used. If you need assistance during the trial the best thing to…
  • How is the alert reset configured? The best way is to create a second log processing rule to handle the reset trap, then update the logic of the alert itself to use that log rule for reset
  • Hi Krezi, it depends really on things like the latency between sites, the products you have installed, and the amount of devices/objuects you're polling and are going to poll. As a rule of thumb I would say if it's a small number of devices that need to be polled, you could look at using agents, or possibly ORCs. If it's a…
  • I don't have a dataset with custom pollers set up but adding this to the where should get you it and addhour(-24,GETUTCDATE()) >= [Node].CustomPollerStatistics.DateTime
  • Hi @"j.roman", please see the following Activate stackable poller licenses in the Orion Platform
  • Hey Stuart, yeah, that's similar to what I came up, not sure if someone with stronger SQL-Fu can include trigger times as well
  • Hey Stuart, looking at it, the status is coming from the nodes table. But the bigger thing here is that nodes that are in dependencies will appear as "unreachable" (statusid =12), and they probably won't appear in any alert (since the alerts are set to generally not take into account that status. (For reference…
  • Hi Stuart, the AAT:126346 is the ID for an alert, not a node. Is it actually bringing you to a node view, or to the alert details view? The detailsurl variable isn't expanding, so when you look at the alert details view does it have the node linked ? As it stands there isn't a way to show the node caption, but the details…
  • Hey Stuart, so that info comes from cirrus.audit, and the ID above isn't a nodeid (those are just integers), rather it is a random job id. The TL;DR; is there isn't an easy way to link it with the node name. The "details" field is the closest to getting node info. At a push, it might be possible to use custom SQL functions…
  • Hi folks, sorry, I missed this. Simply create a PowerOrion folder in one of your profile paths, and then do an "import-module PowerOrion", that's all that should be required. PowerOrion A Module for PowerShell · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub But making it easier to deploy/install is definitely something I'm looking at!
  • Thanks dusting! Unfortunately I didn't get as much time to progress as I had hoped, so what was on Codeplex was the last changes I had made. However, following on from tdanner‌ announcement that the SDK is moving to Github, I've moved the PowerOrion module into the samples/PowerShell folder in the Github repo, and going…
  • Hi eherrera2528​, just to clarify, the PowerOrion module is not an official module, rather it's just my contribution back to the community. I'm currently working on rewriting it to fix a lot of bugs, improve scalability and generally make it more usable. But, just to set expectations, all work on the PowerOrion module is…
  • Do you actually call the function after you have defined it? What parameters do you pass?
