No problem at all. Yeah, Solarwinds recommends no more than 8k elements on a poller and you're exceeding that with your interfaces alone. Are you sure you're not monitoring a bunch of loopback & null0 interfaces that could be cleaned up? You're right on the money with the balancing though. What I'd recommend is creating a…

It looks like you've go a few threads running on this. Any reason for that?

I knew there was something out here lingering. Did you still need help with this one?

I have some time tomorrow after noon PST if you want to hop on a GotoMeeting and tinker a bit. Let me know.

Does your user have access to reports? Click 'Reports' in the menu bar and see if you have anything listed there.

You're very welcome.

I've created NCM scripts in the past that have written their output to a file in a directory directory so I could scoop them up later with another script (i.e., <ip_address><YYYYmmdd>.txt). If you configured this NCM script that way you'd know that the latest tech support output for that device was out there on the file…

Okay, so what's in 1.3.6.1.4.1.9967.1.16.1.1 that you're using for a label? Why not poll for the status (1.3.6.1.4.1.9967.1.16.1.1.11) and then use its name (1.3.6.1.4.1.9967.1.16.1.1.9) for the label? Two birds, one stone. I don't see any reason to have two separate pollers.

So you're not looking for something to go into SolarWinds, just generally looking for a way to watch multiple files?

Have you looked at the NCM action options in the Advanced Alert Manager?

Okay, so to be clear you're making changes to the pollers at the same time you're changing its polling method to ICMP or you're not?

You just need some quotes: sklassen@klassen-LT MINGW64 ~/Dropbox/Workspace/src/github.com/mrxinu/syncnodes (master)$ curl --insecure -v -u your_user:your_password…

Throw a .0 on the end of that OID.

I don't have a script like the one you're talking about unfortunately. The cygwin idea is interesting. If you had a shell, how would you run the script remotely?

It's my pleasure! Make sure you click the big green 'Mark as Answer' button so folks can find it later! -- Steven W. Klassen Programmer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/mrxinu

To do that you need to click 'Use advanced editor' in the upper right, and then highlight the text you want to syntax highlight, and then choose 'Plain Text' (or 'SQL' if that's what you're doing).

Let me see the $poller variable just before the call to New-SwisObject?

There's no connection to close - that Connect-Swis name is a little misleading. It's just setting up a connection string for the REST calls that happen when you run the commandlets. Each one sets up a TCP connection, gets what it needs, and closes it like normal. The data you have look good. You said that you're sure that…

Without testing it myself I wouldn't be comfortable handing you a procedure off the top of my head. DBAs do this all the time, so if you can bribe one for an hour of his time that's probably your best route. They can be pretty involved if you're not comfortable in SQL Studio. This is a pretty good primer if you want to…

Is it sufficient to throw that information up on one of your views in a report format or do you need to leverage alerts against it?

Ah, I wondered about your manual creation of URIs. If they're off even a little things don't work at all. You don't need to construct them yourself - there's a URI inherited property. Adjust your query to look like this and you can skip that URI building step: $SwqlQueryForDevices = "SELECT TOP 4 [Caption], [IP_Address],…

Can you export the alert definition and attach it here?

Sorry, I meant event retention. -- Steven "MrXinu" Klassen Hosted Web Help Desk Engineer | Loop1 Systems, Inc.

The section references is definitely the ticket for restarting the service, but determining that the MAPI connection is unhappy may be more complicated. Is the issue that the SQL 2000 system can't talk to the Exchange server or that the Exchange server stops accepting MAPI connections entirely? If it's the latter, SAM's…

Ah, that's interesting that there's a message. Good to know.

That's exactly how I would do it. There's an advanced SWQL/SQL option for the trigger, and that's where I would write it. There's an upper portion that you can't modify (the SELECT and FROM), but from there down, you have complete control. You'll need two values: the average over X hours for Y poller on the Z device, and…

I will give that a try. I have a licensed copy of the Toolset. Even better! MIB Walk that thing and export to excel. You can pick and choose any OID you want at that point and know it's valid for the device.

Hey @"stuartd", so two things. First the <at sign><quote><multi-line text><quote><at sign> is something you used to have to do in earlier versions of PowerShell to make a multi-line string (the query) work. Now you can just put quotes at the beginning and end and be good. $query = " SELECT Caption , IPAddress FROM…
