Ah yeah, that's a mail server issue. Check the configuration to make sure relaying is allowed from your machine. Specifically the access file (should be sitting alongside access.db) with some bit of language in it like: "ipaddress REJECT 554 No SMTP service here".

I want you to remove the WHERE clause entirely and see if that returns anything. Try this: results4=swis.query("SELECT I.InterfaceName,ao.RelatedNodeCaption as Node from Orion.NPM.Interfaces I inner join Orion.AlertObjects ao on ao.Node.NodeID=I.Node.NodeID inner join Orion.AlertActive aa on…

Bahaha, I love that after all that your own response is the answer. Thwack points be damned, amirite?

Right, what aLTeReGo said. There shouldn't be any problems mapping an entire OID like that provided there's no funny business with white space before or after it though I've never seen that happen.

Excellent. Yessir, as long as you update the $pathRoot variable so it's hitting the portion between the drive letter and that random portion of the path. I believe you said it needed to be 'program files\autonomy\indexer' which omits the drive letter (which we're searching for) and the next part of the path which we're…

Do a stop and then a start then?

That looks good too. I tried using psexec to run a batch file once to start a service back up but that didn't go over so well. Same routine - would work on the command line, wouldn't work in the alert action. I think my issue though was a 2003 -> 2008 problem. Let me know if that works for you!

Sorry, the code I pasted was part of a larger class where 'self' would make sense. Is that the entire script you're using or just a portion?

Yes it was! What's the answer? And a PM is a private message.

Things got busy. I'll email you later today and we can set up a time tomorrow.

tdanner You, sir, are an evil genius.

I'm well, thanks for asking! My wife had a birthday yesterday, so I'm just returning today and trying to catch up. My email is sklassen@gmail.com and if you forward the CSV to me, I can import them immediately so they're available for you to use.

I'm looking forward to it! Feel free to tag me on your post so I see it right away.

Okay, then let's walk through the entire mail conversation. It's possible that the "go away" message doesn't come into play until further into the mail attempt. 220 omta01.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net comcast ESMTP server ready helo mail 250 omta01.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net hello [67.189.83.9], pleased to meet you…

That's interesting. Sorry for getting your hopes up. It does look like those modifiers don't work in Advanced Alerts yet. Here's the URL without the extra character in it.

I wonder if the enumeration is tripping you up. You would think "numeric" status would flatten things, but if you're modifying the value on the way out of the custom poller you may want to use "raw value" for your trigger condition. I've sent you a private message about firing up a GotoMeeting to check things out.

The sections have to be tiered exactly like this. Trigger Alert when all of the following apply 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 when any of the following conditions are met: Volume…

For me system A was just *really* heavily messed with by our engineering group. They do like to tinker. And something I'm sure turned it sideways. It's since been refreshed and is behaving. So no idea what it was. Do you have a system that's stopped wokring?

Did you figure out the login credentials? I just saw this.

Of course. Here you go.

And VIM_VirtualMachines? Any duplication in there?

No, the alert actions are best-effort. If you test your alert action you can tell whether or not it was successful, but left on its own you could be sending email into the ether for weeks and never know about it unless you realized things were a bit too quiet. I'll have to give that some thought. My initial thinking is an…

Hey tdanner​, any chance of an update on this one?

Woohoo! Teamwork! *high-fives mesverrum​* -- Steven W. Klassen Programmer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems http://www.loop1systems.com/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/mrxinu

SolarWinds ticket time I think.

On a system that is not the target system (e.g., your desktop), open a PowerShell prompt and type the following: get-wmiobject -class win32_service -computer <remote_system_name> -filter "Name = 'cpsvc'"

Yeah, I think we've got a problem higher up. Can you take a screenshot of the component's configuration? The bit with the dropdown that says it's local/remote, etc.?

mesverrum​ is spot on with not using a browser, but I noticed the error message looked like you had put an extra period in your domain. Is it supposed to be orion.bv.com?

I wonder if he was on 2003? When I ran into the problem it was a 2003 server where NPM was running and 2008 target for the service restart. I wonder if we should file this under yet-another-problem-with-2008-security?

Ahhh good tip. I'll have to remember that one. Using that method I was able to get this to work in my environment using a local SolarWinds account vs. a Windows account. Also using a base64 encoded basic auth vs. entering credentials for the -Credential parameter: $hostname = "localhost" $username = "my_username" $password…
