You will have to match up hrSWRunName with hrSWRunStatus. The ID numbers will match up. Or try turning off the process and look for what turns to zero. But this could cause issues if the server is being used by others, best to try that idea during an outage window. The MIB OIDs would only change if you add/remove programs…

I am still waiting to hear back from PDI for help but I did try the MIB walk and I got nothing to show up. The only way I can get any OID to respond is to use the UnDP and get it set as a Rate with a Get choice under the adv option when setting up a OID to get polled. Get Next or Get Table do nothing witch is no big deal.…

Thanks Casey, I will give that a shot and see if it works.

I use both equally. I like to keep my silly simple alerts in the basic group. I like the point and click wizard like setup. Also I have all my noobs in the office use basic alerts only. It just seems like a silly little over sight that the basic alerts list does not sort alphabetically like the advance alerts list does. If…

Has anyone had any luck getting Avamar working with SolarWinds. I got my node added but it just shows up as a Linux server. I just added it right now, I am going to continue to play around with it.

The issue has become much more then just a time out error. I did track this error message down to our SMTP gateway and I have already failed it over to our backup gateway. Which took care of the alert emails not firing off. The only reason I even noticed the issue was because I was test firing some alerts off and noticed…

I got Last Boot alert working. I normally stay away from basic alerts but this time I only got Last Boot alert working under basic alerting. Very odd since the sister adv alert does not function correctly.

If want you can bounce some questions off me. I am one of the admins for our NPM & APM setup in our data centers. Here is a link to our site http://www.cosentry.com/solutions/network-monitoring-management.aspx Our setup is not as large as your setup. We are polling around 5000 item every 2 minutes. And with a…

I have never done it like that before but for a while I used Tabular Universal Device Poller found under Node Details Reports when managing a view. I used it watch the number of installed items on a windows box then alert me if that number ever changed. It was a nice way to catch people installing/removing software.

I use the trap message feature in the NPM a lot. I use it to watch for alarms from a lot of devices in our Data Centers. Any plans to expand and make trap messages better would be very nice.

I do a something that for my wireless access points to but I poll how many people are connected. I am assuming you already have the alert setup you are just wanting to get the value to parse into your alerts. I use this command ${CustomPollerStatus.Status}. I use that to populate the current number of users on my WAP when…

To control what alerts effect what device is based on how you build your alert. For example I have a custom property I assign to every device called CustomerName. So when I build my alert I be sure to set that has one of the condition for the alert that the device must contain the CustomerName is picked. So let me show you…

npiazza, I use NPM v9 for monitoring our Data Center customers. It took me awhile to get the hang of the account limitations and stuff. You have two options, create a custom view with limitations which I don't really like to do or set limitations on a user account which I preferr to do. I am assuming you already made the…

The web thresholds have no effect on alert thresholds. What you are asking for need to be done when you build an alert. If you want to change when the web portal highlights things in red then that what the thresholds settings on the web portal is for.

Use the Custom Property Editor and make a custom field called Description. Then in the alert use ${Node.Description} and when the alert is fired off it will fill in what ever you put in the description line. Ex. ${NodeName} ${Node.Description} Ex. Alert UPS1 Bottom Power Supply 

I think it could be possible using the custom HTML box. If you know someone who can write HTML then just have them wip up some code to bounce you from page to page while never leaving the dashboard you logged into. If I remember right you can find it under Miscellaneous Resources then choose Custom HTML or Text.

I get the same messages in my event viewer. I get 4 of them about every 60 seconds. I'm in the dark on what is causing it and how to fix it. Does anyone else get these errors?

I like to think I understand what you are saying but here is my two cents. Instead of trying to limit items I filter items. Use the Custom Property Editor to your advantage. Think of it if you have line that says Business Hours Critical and After Hours Critical and mark yes and no in the database. You then can setup alerts…

Just a quick follow up, I found what was cause emails not to fire off. I only had emails in the BCC line and I left the To line blank. The system didn't like that. When I filled in an email address in the To line everything worked fine.

When using the UnDP type in this for an OID "1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2". Then click browse MIB Tree. When you expand the table you will see 8 items. Focus on these two items. hrSWRunName hrSWRunStatus If you are wanting to just watch one process and not all of them. You will need to use MIB walk to find the exact OID. But with…

I am monitoring our 3 Avamar grids in Solarwinds NPM. I have only got SNMP Traps to work so I have those forward on alerts to me and our NOC. My hope is with this Profiler app Solarwinds got that they will add support for Avamar.
