Did you try clicking 'Enable search' and then putting ${SEARCH_STRING} in the place where the search string should go? If so, what issues did you run into?

Use Get-SwisData to query for the NodeID and then use that to do the unmanage. Something like this: $targetID = Get-SwisData $swis 'SELECT NodeID FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE Caption = @caption' @{ caption = 'name_of_node' }Invoke-SwisVerb $swis 'Orion.Nodes' 'Unmanage' @( "N:$($targetID)", $startDate, $endDate, $false ) |…

I'm equally unsure of what you're asking, but I'm going to take a stab at it anyway. In your current monitoring you have the ability to attempt to reset the status of a problem and it lets you know if the problem is truly solved or if it's still an issue. In Orion, alerts are active until they're fixed, so I think maybe by…

The data type in your select that you're aliasing as SummaryDate is being handled in its default format. If you really mean to summarize by month only (and then get one value per month) you'll want to use datepart() to extract the month like you're doing in the 'where' clause. I take it you didn't quite this query then?

Are the tasks specific to a node or set of nodes in your NPM inventory?

You can't, unfortunately. The reason the PowerShell SDK is able to do that is because they're leveraging some .NET goodness under the hood. It's basic auth or nothing with the other languages.

Try adjusting your script to have it return a static number (e.g., 999) and see if that comes through? I'm wondering if given the moving 15-minute timeframe that you're just missing the values from one 15-minute window to the next. -- Steven W.

I would just use a TCP port monitor component. What are the chances that the port will be responding but the service won't be functioning? It's more likely that it'd be down entirely, right?

It depends what you mean by "showing up as access points" - it sounds like you're getting Wireless Access Point node details page maybe. If that's the case, you can change the node details page used for this device by hitting the Device by Type configuration in the Admin section. Click Admin > (upper right corner) click…

How do you mean stops functioning? The poller completely falls over or a batch of nodes aren't reachable via SNMP any longer?

You should be able to use wildcards. What happens when you search for 192.168.1.*?

Like tdanner​ said, there's no way to ask the API to access database elements that aren't already pre-configured, there is a verb in the Orion.Reporting entity that'll let you run database queries via the API that would get you around having to hand database credentials to your script.

I think if it were, say, a volume alert and you knew that 100% of your volumes polled at the exact same interval, then having a setting for the # of intervals would make sense. But since you can create an alert for volume consumption and the volume statistic sampling can differ from one volume to the next (even though the…

I don't think so, but if you truly want the ones that aren't responding I would pivot and leverage the response time numbers (0 for not responding, 100 for responding) and do it that way.

The field you want is InterfaceAlias (specifically the description on the interface without its name) in the Interfaces table and instead of CONTAINS you want LIKE with the % wildcards: DECLARE @StartDate DateTimeDECLARE @EndDate DateTimeSET @StartDate = ${FromTime}SET @EndDate = ${ToTime}SELECT…

Hi there, You can use the Unamanage Scheduling Utility included in your SolarWinds Orion > Advanced Features folder. Identify the nodes you want to unmanage and the time window and then it'll create a little .cmd file you can put in a Windows Scheduled Task. -- Steven W. Klassen Programmer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems…

Show me the report definition?

Hey hpridesr​ - can you provide a screenshot of your configuration? -- Steven W. Klassen Programmer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/mrxinu

Hey telecom116​, I don't spend much time working in the web-based report writer's field list but if you wanted to step into SWQL, you could use something like the query below: SELECT n.Caption, cp.UniqueName, cps.StatusFROM Orion.Nodes nJOIN Orion.NPM.CustomPollerAssignmentOnNode cpan ON n.NodeID = cpan.NodeIDJOIN…

As in SSL certificates? There's an SSL Expiration component in SAM. If that doesn't fit the bill maybe I can help with the script that's misbehaving. Two things you might check are a) the architecture choice under 'Advanced' in the template being set to x64 and b) running it set to 'Local' and checking the 'Impersonate'…

You should be able to install an agent like you do on Windows and go with it. Have you tried it?

That looks good so far. Did you set your APM monitor to 60 seconds so you can get two checks in the 2 minutes?

You could certainly have a second poller out on your remote network to monitor nodes. The caveat is going to be sending the polling data back across the link to your database. SolarWinds won't recommend it, but as long as you kept the load on the remote poller down I think you could pull it off.

Show me the script you're using?

Check out the "top processes" example. That one executes a program (provided by SolarWinds) that gathers the top processes and then puts them in the alert notes - then the email action (2 minutes later?) embeds that information in the email. You could do something similar with a traceroute or ping but that would leave you…

You'll need to nest the conditions. Try this: Trigger when all of the following conditions are met: <-- the top-level default group; no need to create this Volume Type is 'Fixed Disk' Volume PercentUsed is greater than or equal to 90 <-- will fire through 90, 91, and up into 99 and 100% but that's probably okay too Trigger…

Dovetailing with Mr McBride's reply about the permissions - what user is running your alert engine service?

Using plink would make the most sense, but you'd have to wrap it in a vbscript in order to use it in APM. If you google for 'plink vbscript' you'll get a bunch of examples.

Network Performance Monitor (NPM) doesn't, but NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) does.

If I understand your question correctly you're asking if there's a history being maintained of all the various bandwidth settings that have been on an interface (e.g., being changed from 10Mb to 100Mb to 1Gb)? If so, that's not tracked historically and I wouldn't expect it to change that often. If you mean historical…
