There's an events table that keeps track of all kinds of things including node up/down. The node down and up events are event types 1 and 5, respectively. If you created a custom SQL alert that looked for any nodes with more than 3 down events in the last 30 minutes, you'd have your alert trigger. Run this against your…

If you have APM, you could write a script in any language you like to go extract this value and hand it back as a statistic. If you have NPM only, you could still do it, but you'd need to have some system out there offer it up as an SNMP value (i.e., 1.3.1.6.1.4.99.99.99) using an exec. Here's an article that talks about…

We can surely help with that. What columns did you have in mind? Have you looked at the Universal Device Poller yet? I believe there are UPS pollers in there by default that you can apply to your UPS devices. -- Steven "MrXinu" Klassen Hosted Web Help Desk Engineer | Loop1 Systems, Inc.

What method are you using to determine if a reboot happened?

Give this a try and let me know what happens.

You have PowerShell at your disposal in SAM. Why not have a script that reaches out to where those folders are, looks them over, and then returns a statistic about their size. You could graph that over time and have some indication at that point of its trend.

There's no syslog-flavored alert specifically but they do let you reach into those tables with SWQL queries. You could create an alert of type "Custom SWQL Alert (Advanced)" with the following. I'm not certain about the severity value (my system has all 6s) so you'll want to double check that or remove that line from the…

When you add a device to NPM using the API you're also responsible for adding the correct pollers. Most of the time this is done by letting SolarWinds do a discovery and then using whatever pollers it comes up with but sometimes you need to do it by hand. Long story short, that might be the best way for you to figure out…

If you download and install the SDK it comes with a utility called SWQL Studio. Using that you can write queries that look a bit like SQL but are carefully-curated entities maintained by SolarWinds to ensure your reports/automation based on them don't break from one version to the next.

Hey Satish, First, if the node is down you're going to have an unknown status for your application, so you needn't check for that. Second, you've already set the component name to 'Memory Heap Used (B)' so you then need to compare the status of that component to the 'Memory Heap Max Size (B)' value. It should read: field…

Hey brendan.hooper​ - you're right, it definitely doesn't like the network path. What about mapping the path to a drive letter and going that route?

Hi there, what you're looking for is dependencies. Turn off the group down alert notification - that's just causing noise. Instead use a node down notification so you can benefit from the nodes in your group getting an "unreachable" status when their parent node (or group) goes down (usually a core router or switch). * Put…

Hi max348​ - wouldn't it be easier to email to the SMS gateway for the cell provider? For example, <phone_number>@vtext.com sends an SMS message to a Verizon user. If not, what method are you using to send SMS messages? Do you have a provider like Twilio?

Already replied to your other thread here: Re: showing the Custom Field next to each Down Nodes

It looks like you have a few options from the previous posts so let's break it down. You want the alert to trigger when you're no longer able to ping the node (i.e., TTL expired / request timed out). By virtue of adding the node to your inventory you're already pinging the device every 120 seconds (default) and waiting an…

The only thing that looks to be unique about a row in the Accounts table is the AccountID. So as long as that were unique when you created a new row you might be good to go. You'd have to copy the password has from a user whose password you already know (or change it afterward). Tread lightly - back the database up first.…

Hi phillipscc​! Your best bet is going to be to download the SWQL Studio utility that comes with the PowerShell SDK (https://www.github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/releases). Load it up, provide it with the host & credentials to your SolarWinds web console. Once you're in, check out Metadata > Metadata.VerbArgument. That'll…

You can do this with a custom SWQL alert trigger pretty easily. The field in the Orion.Nodes entity that you want is LastBoot and you just need to know when the time difference in days between then and now is more than you'd like in order for it to trigger. They provide the first part of the query, so the rest would be:…

There are script samples out on SolarWinds' GitHub account below. Is that what you're asking? OrionSDK/Samples at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub

I don't know about the noise you're getting from your ASR, but as of the latest version of Netflow you can change the settings to allow it to accept netflow from unmanaged interfaces. It's under Admin > NTA Settings > Accept netflow from unmanaged interfaces (something like that).

I'd use the 'Log alert to file' trigger/reset actions and then have something in a scheduled job scoop up the contents (if any) and mail them in the morning.

I just tested and that seemed to work. Did you try it?

I'm having the same problem with a PowerShell script. The ${USER} variable seems to work, but the ${PASSWORD} one doesn't though the admin guide seems to indicate it should.

Ahmad, The quick start guide says it all. It starts with the minimum system requirements and then goes from there. The install is brain-dead simple: double-click on the installer, hit next a bunch of times (accepting defaults). That'll install it with SQL Express which is fine for an evaluation.…

epicor.jastalos​ Any response to wluther​'s feedback? I'm interested where you landed on this one.

Okay, there are three parts to this: First, you have to get the logic into the alert so we have the total bytes transmitted/received for the month. We have to figure out if that's last month, the current month, or the last 30 days. If we look at the SQL for that particular report we can get more details (Report > Show SQL…

Try this query out in SWQL: SELECT aa.Name, aa.Node.Caption, aa.StatusFROM Orion.APM.Application aaWHERE aa.Template.Name = 'AppInsight for SQL' That'll give you the numeric status of the applications and the nodes where they're applied. If you only want the unknown ones, add this to the bottom: SELECT aa.Name,…

Hey reidsmith​ - you can set up multiple domains for incoming email by going to E-Mail > Settings > Accepted Domains and putting them in there with a comma in between each!

A little confusion here. Why are you enabling services on the SMTP server that you wouldn't normally have enabled to make sure they're working? Are your users using SMTP/IMAP/POP3 or are they using Exchange? You can test for the former using the method you described, but the Exchange monitoring should be done with the…

I've never seen that one - what operating system?
