  • I can't think of a way to associate a MAC address to a particular port. I see that MAC addresses are being shoved into the NodeMACAddresses table but that's for an entire node. I think your best bet is going to be an interface custom property called WAN that you can toggle for your few WAN ports. That being said, if you…
  • This section has contradictory information. Change the condition to 'any' and put both of these node names under one condition.
  • It's in the same zip as the NCM application.
  • Any reason you're wanting to siphon the information to somewhere else? If you're just looking to report on a subset of the data based on some filters you could do that in a report easy enough. Can you give some more detail? -- Steven W. Klassen Programmer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com/…
  • Do you mean custom pollers? Custom properties are just additional data in the database about the node. They have no bearing on polling.
  • There's some magic you could do with SNMP EXEC and UnDP we can talk about if you only have NPM, but do you happen to have SAM? That'd be a much more direct approach with a Linux/Unix Script monitor to detect/remediate the issue. -- Steven W. Klassen Programmer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com/…
  • Have a look at the results from this SWQL query: SELECT n.NodeCaption, n.ManagedProtocol, n.TransferProtocolFROM NCM.Nodes n
  • It's spread out into multiple tables, but the 'Nodes' view unites them.
  • Can you show me the script you're using? -- Steven W. Klassen Programmer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/mrxinu
  • If I followed all the criteria, this should do the trick. Open Report Writer and create an Advanced SQL report and dump this in the SQL tab: select n.caption, v.caption, vu.datetime, vu.percentdiskused from volumes v join volumeusage vu on v.volumeid = vu.volumeid join nodes n on n.nodeid = v.nodeid where vu.datetime…
  • Do you have Server & Application Monitor by chance? -- Steven W. Klassen Programmer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/mrxinu
  • I've never heard of any for that kind of thing. The fields updated when this happens are unmanaged, unmanagedfrom, and unmanageduntil in the nodes table.
  • Hi sandipc​! You'll need SAM to be able to do that kind of monitoring, but assuming you have it, the smoothest way to get it going is by using the Component Monitor Wizard. You can find it by going to Settings > All Settings > SAM Settings (under Product Specific Settings) > Component Monitor Wizard > check the box for…
  • You need to either build your SWQL query with a join to the Nodes custom property or take advantage of the linking property for the entity. Both of these would work: With a Join: SELECT n.Caption, n.Vendor, n.IPAddressFROM Orion.Nodes nJOIN Orion.NodesCustomProperties c ON n.NodeID = c.NodeIDWHERE c.City = 'Austin' With a…
  • Hey there, give this a try. You can also drop this into the web-report writer as a SWQL report: SELECT n.Engine.ServerName AS PollerName ,n.Caption ,ISNULL(i.Qty, 0) AS InterfaceCount ,ISNULL(v.Qty, 0) AS VolumeCount ,ISNULL(i.Qty, 0)+ISNULL(v.Qty, 0)+1 AS TotalElementsFROM Orion.Nodes nLEFT JOIN( SELECT NodeID, COUNT(1)…
  • You can execute any external program as an alert action, including a windows Rexx interpreter. http://rexxinfo.org/html/rexxinfo2.html
  • Your best bet is going to be a report that you can export. I don't see an out-of-the-box report right off, but the SQL to create one is below (New > Advanced SQL Report). Getting the information back into an install is going to be less straightforward. You can use the IP address from the report to do a targeted (list of IP…
  • I think I understand the concern, but if your new definition is supposed to be better, just let them become active alerts the next time the alert is evaluated (1m by default). If the alert were to stay active after you changed its definition you'd wind up with some alerts that are active with trigger conditions A and…
  • Are you wanting to show the user the words that matched (from the message) or a graph of the numeric statistic? I assume giving them a link to the application component's page where they can look at the the component particulars (in a menu bar, for example) isn't going to do it? -- Steven W. Klassen Programmer Analyst @…
  • Since you're getting the array of objects in $out you can filter to the one that has "Index" in its name and then leverage its properties like this: $indexDetails = $out | ?{ $_.Name.StartsWith('Index') } At that point you have access to all of the properties with dotted notation: # this is kind of a throwaway value since…
  • Can psexec even run things remotely that require a display? What about running something a little more simple like a batch file that writes to a file in c:\?
  • This indicates that you have IP address that SolarWinds was ultimately unable to resolve to a hostname (and spent 60 minutes trying). If you have flows coming through your NetFlow sources that don't have DNS resolution (and should) that might be something to look into. This page in the admin guide explains the options. I…
  • Hi silphen​! I feel your pain, definitely. First of all, thanks so much for your service! You've definitely come to the right place. There are thwackers all over with a goldmine of information. To get the ball rolling, can you answer the following? * Which software do you have in the new environment? (NPM and SAM are…
  • ryan.davis26​ is spot on if you want to keep your existing components and just alert when the special "this or that is fine, but both missing is bad" situation. If on the other hand you want to merge the two components so that it actually checks for both processes and returns the number of matches such that 0 matches would…
  • Yeah, we see this a lot in the Top 10 page, too - the packet loss goes to 100% and that winds up taking up most of your view. Adding 'node status is not equal to down' on the High Packet Loss alert would squelch that noise. In the case of the Top 10 resource, an SQL filter of 'Status <> 2' cleans up the interface.
  • Hey there, What method did you use to update the custom properties? And just to confirm, is this the script that you used to add the node in the first place? orionsdk-python/add_node.py at master · solarwinds/orionsdk-python · GitHub
  • Absolutely. Just don't be specific about the node/interface when you're writing your trigger conditions. The trigger type should be 'interface' (that first dropdown box in the Trigger Conditions) dialog, and then the sole condition should be 'Interface Status is equal to Down'. You won't want to use the default Reset…
  • Set up snmp on ESX:* Log into the server as root. * Change directory to the /etc/snmp directory. [cd /etc/snmp] * Open the snmpd.conf file in your favorite editor (vi, emacs, pico, etc). [vi snmpd.conf] * Change the password, contact, and location and save the file. * Add the snmpd service so it starts on reboot.…
  • It'd be nice to be able to do this with one poller & one alert, but it looks like you're not going to be able to. What about having a separate alert for your single PS and another for your dual PS with a custom node property to tell one from the other?
