I've followed up with a PM.

I did and I asked a follow up question about what that'd look like. Did you see that? I think we're close to a solution but I need info.

Quick update - it was totally the system I was running against. It worked perfectly on another system. -- Steven Klassen Developer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems, Inc. http://www.loop1systems.com/

Okay, I finally got a chance to move to another system because mlrabbitt‌ had said my code worked for him. Sure enough - the other system worked beautifully. I was even able to comment out all the stuff I would have had to gather with SNMP queries myself along with the buffer counter defaults (-2). It does need to have a…

Hey madhavan‌, that post has a lot of information - some of it conflicting. Can you add a node to Orion and have it poll with ICMP/SNMP without using creating/running a discovery (the AddNode examples in the PowerShell directory certainly seem to indicate you can)? The post below is what I've been using to add extra…

Thanks. That's a lot of post. I'll pore over it this afternoon. -- Steven Klassen Developer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems, Inc. http://www.loop1systems.com/

Well that's encouraging. =) I'll check out running this against another system. -- Steven Klassen Developer Analyst @ Loop1 Systems, Inc. http://www.loop1systems.com/

Apology accepted. If you're up for a GotoMeeting session I can help you figure out why that application isn't matching the criteria. Let me know what time today works for you. I'm available in about an hour.

Well, it certainly looks healthy. What about the SMTP configuration in the alert? I see you telnet'ed to 192.168.1.22. Are you using a hostname in the SMTP configuration of the alert? Is it resolving to the same host? while (1) { grasp(straw); }

Uh oh, yeah. That'll do it every time.

Ah yeah, that was confusing. Now we're back to my original suggestion of writing subqueries.

Hey mistervapor​ - sorry for fading on this one. I looked at the script and it's not obvious to me what went into the %cfm_process_status_query hash. I assume that's the part of the code that you can't show me? Can you dummy up the hash with some sample values so I have a point of reference?

As soon as it has questions. I'm doing this in my spare time so if you want to contribute a list of questions in CSV format (two columns, question & answer) I'd be happy to look them over and import them!

Hey tdanner​ - it sounds like this one might have fallen off the world. Can we get an update on it and/or put it someone's radar? TIA. Edit: I tried to tag ding​ as well but it wouldn't complete the first time. Whoops! Do you happen to have an update?

Using a JOIN (INNER JOIN, same thing) will limit the results you see because it's the overlap between tables A and B. Using a LEFT JOIN is going to potentially return more rows, but not fewer. Also, you're not joining on one of the columns you're having an issue with. I don't have the raw query for you or I'd give it to…

Right on, glad you sorted it out. already moved the thread to the general Kiwi area so I could respond.

I love the idea of using a function to return formatted XML. Totally stealing that method!

Hi Ron, I think you're on the right track with using Advanced Alert Manager's custom SQL alert functionality to reach over into the syslog table. Are you SQL savvy enough to give us a few sample rows from the syslog table that pertain to your UPS on/off messages? That woud give me somewhere to start on crafting the alert…

Sure, coming up. Give me a few minutes to find them and make sure they're the working versions.

The problem is the second criteria is using All instead of ANY. This creates the logic that the NodeName has to be equal to NodeA and NodeB which can never be true. Ah, right. I knew I did it my way for a reason. =)

I'm writing this from memory, so you'll have to forgive any inaccuracies, but when you create a new linux/unix script monitor there are 4 important fields: credentials, program to execute (or something like that - the default value is "perl ${SCRIPT} arg1 arg2"), path, and script (big empty text box). So, an example:…

I'm definitely interested in an update, but what was the issue?

You've a direct message with GTM information.

I think we could work on the premise, initially at least, that anything over 75MB should raise a warning, and anything over 100MB should raise a…

Yeah, the date math is especially tasty. If you want a good primer, this task-based guide is really good. It got me hooked on it on Saturday afternoon. What Can I Do With Windows PowerShell? - A Task-Based Guide to Windows PowerShell Cmdlets

I set up an alert action to fire when the trigger condition is met and made sure the alert action's time of day coverage didn't start until 20m later. I triggered the alert, waited 20m, and never got the email. It looks like I'm sticking with alert actions don't get queued up. Either it's the right time of day for them to…

Well easier said that done. There's the issue where you have to skip the SSL validation and there's no easy way to do that in PowerShell short of eschewing Invoke-RestMethod entirely and rolling your own web client with that check defaulted to successful. I'm assuming then that you have a valid certificate for your SWIS…

The Nepal/Tibet border? Bring long johns.

Hi Cheryl! The custom properties are set up in the Custom Property editor currently. Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Grouping and Access Control > Custom Property Editor.

It's on my todo list, but they're off in SolarWinds land now and not something I can update directly.
