Got a working link? Looks like the SolarWinds support website changes broke the link. EDIT: Apply View Server State permission on the database account for the master database. From the log: "VIEW SERVER STATE permission was denied on object 'server', database 'master'."

I would write the alert like this (but I need more information on what your trying to alert on to help refine it) Setting the trigger condition 'I want to alert on:' to 'component' will open those variables you will need.

The asset 'All Alerts this Object can trigger' will only display alerts configured against 'nodes'. No SWQL/SQL/Interface/Etc. alerts will populate there. It causes some confusion for my new users.

Thanks for the reply. As far as poling intervals check out the new feature with 2019.2 for variable polling. I have a feature request to get exactly what you mentioned in the laerts " " I agree that there are no warning. I am using severity to map to my CMDB/ticketing tool (service-now) and that controls the notification…

I had a similar use case that might help. I have a dashboard with two custom tables 'Volume utilization changed by 20% over 2 hours' and 'Volume utilization changed by 20% over 24 hours'. Preview of table: SQWL; SELECT V.Node.NodeName, V.Caption FROM Orion.Volumes V WHERE ( V.VolumeType = 'Fixed Disk' -- Modify the hours…

Whats the scope of the alert set to? Node / Application / Component / Group?

Do you have the HP WBEM agent installed? Reference this older post.

Sorry, not understanding the question. Are you looking to migration nodes/data from one Orion install to another? You can export (to text, or SDK) to get the nodes (name/ip/credentials), custom properties, then use that data to seed the data into the new/other instance. Custom properties interface: Manage nodes interface:

This can be done. If you don't already have the custom property or data SolarWinds check out escalation level in action executions: Script to get LDAP then 2nd to send your alert:

You can add any device to SolarWinds. Try putting in an external (to your company) node like 8.8.8.8 as ping only to monitor up/down, packet loss, etc.

What kind of interface are you reporting on? Is a port channel or virtual interface combining more than one interface? I am not sure about SolarWinds but some monitoring tools will read the 'bandwidth' statement (vs interface speed) from the interface config and use that for reporting. If your WAN provider supports…

I copied the out of the box report:"VPN Remote Access Tunnel History - Last 24 Hours" And added "session state = 1'.

Alerts are processed from your MPE (Main Polling Engine).

Link is dead.

Looking at the comparison it looks like this was added recently. LA feature comparison

Unfortunately 'SAML Authentication Support' didn't make it into 12.3. Really need this feature and was sad to see it didn't make it.

micheal100 I am seeing very odd behavior when trying to use powershell. TrapService.log: 2019-12-03 16:31:56,647 [46] ERROR SolarWinds.Orion.LogMgmt.RuleProcessing.Actions.ExecuteExternalProgramAction - Failed to execute external command: 'E:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\powershell.exe -file "E:\Program Files…

I am also looking to do this, what about something like the following? SELECT TOP 1000 NodeID, Caption, ObjectSubType, Status, ChildStatus, IPAddress, E0.LastSystemUpTimePollUtc, ToLocal(LastSync) as LastSync, PollInterval, EngineID, ToLocal(NextPoll) as NextPoll, ToLocal(NextRediscovery) as NextRediscovery,…

jason.carrier​ thanks for reaching out. It's always amazing to see the time and attention SolarWinds gives to the online community. I'll PM you the ticket number.

After the upgrade i've noticed that CPU on all my MPE/APE's increases slowly over time. After 20 days the CPU is nearly 100%. A reboot or fail-over of the system resets the CPU usage, but I don't like doing reboots/resets outside of maintenance windows.

The easiest way to get what you want is to set the alert type to 'component'. I then use the alert scope to be applicable to the 'application name' I am looking for. Having the alert type set to component has all the component variables open to action editor UI (otherwise you have to craft it in SWQL). The variables I use…

I wrote a few dashboards to keep an eye on nodes/components/elements that stop getting polled. While not an alert, it might inspire someone "LastSystemUpTimePollUtc" is the key I look for to know when they stop collecting SNMP/WMI metrics. Status is the ICMP status indicator. SQWL SELECT TOP 1000 NodeID, Caption,…

The page itself will load, some load faster than the 3 second fade in the mega menu has.

Alerts are not a traditional association to objects. It is a database query that is run and will return anyone that matches the logic. Sorry for bad analogy: Shouting into a large room, "who is over 90% CPU", whoever raises their hand is the winner. It does this every (1 minute by default) in a 'are we there yet, are we…

Found the KB article: Enable Windows Authentication using NTLMv2 in Ignite PI. * Add the following property to <ignite_install_directory>/iwc/tomcat/ignite_config/idc/system.properties com.confio.idc.wizard.showAdditionalConnectionProperties=true * Enter useNTLMv2=true in the JDBC URL Properties field on the Repository…

The 'Virtual Datastore' is using 'Orion.VIM.Datastores' 'Orion.VIM.Datastores' has linkages to 'Orion.VIM.VirtualMachines', which has a link to 'Orion.Nodes'. I confirmed its visible in the trigger condition editor: I was not able to find any of the Orion.Node variables in trigger action editor. I tried manually using…

Going to apply HF2 (currently on 2019.2 HF1), anyone had any issues or oddities during upgrade?

Try setting 'Count statistic as difference:' to true/enabled and see if that generates the expected behavior. Setting: Setting in context:

There is similar question at "Alert on event counts over a period of time " That will give you the framework for the SQL needed to alert on a count of reboot events against a time frame. Let me know if you need any help tweaking it.

Wondering if NetPath would be a better solution for monitoring connectivity. Alternatively you can setup a ping only node to something on the WAN you use regularly (O365, etc.).
